This is Hedda Hopper coming to you with the very latest news about our nation's celebrities. You’ll find that this week's news comes from the 1956 class of Stewart- ville, which graduated 15 years ago. While attending a businessmen's commercial convention the other day.l met Cathy Boucsein.a private secretary toGary Boyum,a big business tycoon.

Dick Hanson and Jim Meredith, notorious leaders of the I. W. W. (I Won't Work) union were there carrying on a heated con- versation with Otis Nelson and Pat Delesha, the progressive leaders of the Y.

The icebergs are being in- habited rapidly. The most unusual dress of the convention was on Brenda Travis, owner of the nationally known all-girl ranch. Retelling the action on her ranch,she painted a picture of foreman, Eileen Ander- son, sitting on a rail fence watching Jane Swygman hog tie a brama steer, while Joanne Mulvihill heats the branding iron to prepare for action.
