V) still as blond as ever. He says the Navy is a swell place for a fellow to be i For relaxation I decided to go to the movies. Who’s the blonde-head selling tickets? Did I- hear someone say it was Thelma Addison? Of course, she was always fond of movies when she went to school. I walked in the theater and found a very comfortable seat with a good-looking bunch of boys. I sat down, and looked from side to side. There I saw they were McNeil Hale, H. B. Isaacs, Albert Sargent, Bennie Johnson, and Thomas Phillips. I was really glad to see them. After the show, I was very hungry. So I went down the street and came to a place called Dickenson’s Cafe. I remembered I wont to school with James. Could this be his place, was the thought which ran through my mind. I went in and found that I was right. His waitresses were Lorcne Horne and his wife, the former Muriel Wolfe. I enjoyed my meal very much and on I went. Who are the girls wearing those W.A.V.E. Uniforms. Don’t they look nice? Why, it’s Betty Nell Salyer and Gayc Herndon. Just then passed ' a T-IIodxl car. Boys and girls were in it laughing, talking; and having lots of fun. Don’t those voices sound familiar? Who could it be? The driver is Henry Dotson, accompanied by Robert porter, Paul Burke, George Campbell, Iris Boll King, and Sally Jessee. They were so merry it brought back the sweetest memories of my high school days. Johnson’s 5 10 $1 Store. That reminds me of Rudolph and Mary Elizabeth. They have gone in partnership in a nice store and their two very nice clerks are Garnet Salyer and Nettie Castle. They had lots of pretty things and while I was there a very attractive little lady came in and bought seme stationery. I thought I should know her. Just then I heard Nettie say, 7 hat for you, Georgia?” I knew then it was Georgia Parks.

I talked with Dorothy and she told me that she and June Hamm were ' in partnership and had employed Mildred Camp- bell, Betty Hall, and Flo Johnson to work for them. Out of that hunch Flo told me that she was married to a boy in the Navy. I couldn’t believe it. I still haven’t seen all of ny classmates. Some of them are nurses I hear. I must see all of them so I decided I’d go over to the hospital. I found Vir- ginia King as private secretary, Mildred Couch as floor boss and special nurse of the hospital. She likes her work very much. V hilc there, she told me that Betty Jane Peters and Ivlayme Saddler were in college in that town. I could not resist seeing them. Betty and I.Iaymc told me their desire was to become teachers at 01c Temple Hill when their courses were finished. I must go down to the post office and mail a let- ter hone to tell mother what a wonderful time I am having. Just as I walked in the dooij I met Evange- line Jackson coming out with lots of letters. She is employed there. Since I have seen all of my classmates I must now go back to my studios; but before I do I want to say that It was a great pleasure seeing all of ny class- mates once again. Thanks to you, little creature , who made my wonderful thoughts come true ’. Lois Kiser
