Washinton Blvd. { Cincinnati, Ohio | December 5, 1945 Dear Annamae: I took the advice of the advertisements saying, See America First, and wnile on my tour I saw many of tne members of the Class of '37. At Chicage I went to a little tea room to get a bite to eat. To my surprise I learned that Wilma Gafken was the proprietor. She told me that she had been operating it for about five years. She was en - gaged to a well-known G-man, but he was killed in an attempt to break up a gang of racketeers. That evening Wilma and I went to gee . the new picture, You, the Moon, and I, just recently re- leased by Warner Brotsers, starring the new radio and screen commedians, Evelyn Hefty and Wayne Kerns. I laugned so much that I thought I'd never be able to laug” again. Kernsie acts just like he used to in high school, if not crazier. A few days iater I went to Des Moines, Towa. Picking up the Des Noines Times, eaited by George Hire, I saw a piece entitted,. Mayom Sebert Meets Femous Aviatrix at City Airport. Mayor Sebert! Coulc it be Doe ® Sebert, IT wonadsred? TIT hadn't heard anything about nim since we graquiated in FOF OUs fF happened to remember reading in the paper that Des Moines naa the youngest mayor in the history of that city. Not being particularly interesteaG in mayors I neglected to read the. rest of the piece, until later, Then upon reading the article further I learned that it was Doc and that the Famed Aviatrix was Bonnie James. I knew that was what ske wanted to be, but ri was surprised anyway. I guess I had better read my Ay jal I iF t ae, YZ BAL» Ws Be TRA DR Ly a a es OY OY WY wy: é

AP Vr OUR SENIOR CLASS We soon have to leave all the sorrow and joys, But we'll not go without first making a noise. We'll tell the whole world of the fun we have had 4nd that in Waterloo High School, we've been happy and sad. Some will travel, I suppose, after school days are o'er, Sone will study and work and continue to do more. But we know of no class in ell of these years, That can be compared with our Seniors thats here. There's George, our president, our leader of course, And Kline, a good scout, who never is cross. And Doc Sebert, whom, sometimes is called Duke, He's tall, he's slender, we all think him cute. Then there's Evelyn Hefty, she's the fun of our class, She's going to ster, you can imagine her, I guess. She laughs and she jollies most of the time, Mr. Overmeyer thinks he'll scold her sometime. And Lena Myers, she's the smart one in here, She studies and works, with never a fear. With typing and history - she's handy at thet, She's sweet and friendly - and will always stand pat. Then Geraldine Dixon, well she tukes the czcke, I don't think there's a study that girl couldn't take. She doesn't need to study - she has it right there, You'll find her a good sport to have enywhere. Oh! Yes, thet reminds me ther's Tuffy to get, There isn't = one, doesn't like him, I'll bet. He teases und abuses, cll the girls in the cléss, But we leugh end just tike it - though it's hard to let pass. Then the one's that jumps and gets about lots, is the Newcomer Twins, for which things ere tops. They leugh and they joke and don't worry a bit, Wherever they go, it's to meke a big hit. Oh! My goodness, ther's Marguret - with never e kick, In Waterloo High - she likes to play tricks. She likes to dence end heve a good time, But when she works - she's there to « rhyme. Of course this is not all of this glorious class, But to make this much longer would be tiresoie, I guess. So you'll just have to see us — on some coming dey, To determine whether or not, we're ull thet I say. Gefken '37

MY ‘ Kf vid . ‘ af ‘ d iy ; . if et aware tt nin hatepeirymeen henientennlga nd ime tyantapementarnmns vet news papers a little better and find out some things a- bout the folks I used to know, From Des Moines, I went to Yellow Stone = National Park. Jack Forn has been a guide there for six ‘years now. He said that he likes his work very much. He wanted to be a forest ranger, but they didn't have a position for him then so they gave him a job as a guide. Going to Seattle by plane I met our old friend Miartha Bolinger. She was the stewardess of the plane. in Seattle, I réceivyed a telephone call one afternoon, It was from Geraldine Dixon. She is finishing her training in the Good Samaritan Hospital there. It was her evening off so she came over to my hotel room and we talked for hours. Running out of subject matter we tuned in on Otto McDonald's Hit Parade. He took Bing Crosby's place as America's most popular crooner. As a guest star he presented Derwood Smith the modern Robert Taylor. At Globe,Arizona where I went when bt left Seattle, I saw Rachel Smith, who has established a mission school there. Harry Johnson is a real-estate agent in Globe, and he seems to be quite prosperous. Wishing to see the sights of the city I telephoned the Globe Site Seeing Company. The guide who showed me around was none other than Carrol Leas, I chartered a plane, of which George Friend was piolt, from Globe to Eagle Pass, Texas on the Rio Grande. Donald BeVier and his orchestra The Blues Chasers entertain at a very popular night club in the city of Eagle Pass. : After spending a few days in Eagle Pass I went to Nashville. DeLoss Crooks and Bill Holman own and op- erate a large taxi cab concern in Nashville. While there I attended the W.S.M. Grand 91' Opera the lead- ing star being Helen Imler.
