Se+Uosi Pn piteof It was a clear spring day as we were lazily strolling down the road past TaHoMa. Having left our home community after graduating from High School, we were wandering back for the first time in ten years. We were just wishing we had a way to visit all our classmates and see what they were doing, when a 1959 Buick came to a vibrating stop along side of us. We were surprised, but also very delighted to see our old friend, Jim Sener, in the driver’s seat. Having had a long talk with Jim, we learned that he has become interested in politics and is now a member of the Washington State Legislature. Jim also wanted to know about the rest of our classmates so we decided to try to find them and see what each one was doing. When we reached Seattle we glanced in the telephone directory and the first name listed was none other than “Della Aanerud”. We immediately called GLENdale 148-884, which was Della’s number, and she invited us out to “Club 49’’ where she was employed as a magician’s helper. When we arrived at the Club we were surprised to be greeted by Walt Patterson, the head manager. After visiting with Walt and Della for a considerable amount of time they told us where we could locate Rosalee Vey. They said she was known for the finest tailoring in the city of Seattle. When we reached Rosalee’s sewing shop, she informed us that she was starting a sewing club for the benefit of those who can’t sew. We thought this to be a very good idea. Having left her place, we proceeded to find Margie Knott next. After much effort, we finally heard that Margie was living in California so we journeyed down there. We surprised her by being guests of her classroom where she was giving lectures and demonstrations on scientific methods of cooking. Margie informed us that her friend, Marvel LeGrande. was successfully operating a chain of modeling schools in a city a short distance away. We went over to see her and also found Desma Taylor, who had been interested in modeling since childhood, as her capable assistant. As we talked to them we happened to hoar over the radio that Frances Wisniski, Dolores Vaiente, Alice Grady and Colleen Palmr. otherwise known as “The Charmonizers”, were making a name for themselves by siging with a famous orchestra in New York. We reluctantly told Marvel and Desma goodbye and began our long trip to the East Coast. After our arrival in New York we went to see “The Charmonizers’’ sing and to our surprise there was Bill Phillips as the capable orchestra leader. We talked to them and they told us that Betty Hedin was also in New York. We went over to Betty’s and found her busily at work wriing her daily column for the New York Tribune. After talking with Betty we realized that our ambition to see all our classmates was finally accomplished. We felt very fortunate to see them all again and to know that each one was receiving their share of fame in this big world of ours. We wish all of them Good Luck and continued success! ! 12 TaHoMa, ’49
