i 1 4 ? 71w 7W 7114206109 By Charles Omaha Traveler Powell While traveling through various parts of the Midwest, I chanced to meet a few of my old class mates of high school days. Starting in Omaha, the home town, I discovered that I was badly in need of a new set of tires. Much to my surprise who should I find running the large Wholesale Rubber Goods company, but Don Swen- son. On entering the office to fill out nec- essary papers for purchasing tires, I found Dorothy and Marie Pouliot busily typing. Coming to get my car after finishing the red tape, I found none other than Ma- jora Trittlewitz, chief mechanic and welder of the establishment. Leaving Omaha I went through Coun- cil Bluffs, Iowa, where I noticed the Shep- ard-Leffingwell Settlement House. Could these have been the girls I knew in high school? The next town was Greenfield, Iowa, where the prosperous banker, D. Gron- berg, took time out from settling a mort- gage with the towns leading farmer, Joe Ditter, to shoot me a game of billiards at Juliels Recreation Center. Here we met the town's well-to-do plumber, Ross Neilson, who took us to the bar at which Johnny Dunn, Julie,s bartender, served us some POP- From Greenfield, I went to Iowa City and there met Jim Clarity, still at the pre- flight school. After seeing Bill Kelley, pro- fessor of Electrical Engineering at the U. of Iowa, I proceeded to Cedar Rapids, where I had lunch at Mary Annls Cafe tMary Ann Nelsom with Marilyn Sheri- dan, Virginia Ornat, Geraldine Eckes, and Bette Goodman. The girls are nurses at St. Marys hospital. I was informed that Denalde Matthews was a surgeon, Emily Smetana an X-ray technician, and Gladys Swaningson a dietician. Because time was short I was forced to leave my automobile at a garage whose owner, I discovered, was married to Helen Schenk. At the garage I hopped into a cab driven by Candace Johnson and went out to the airport. Here I took the plane for Minneapolis. As you surely know, the pilot was Clarence Syvertson and on his lap was his seeing-eye dog, Patty-Du. Passengers on the plane included Ruth Braman, Daryl Dunnell, Mary Hadley, Maudie Hughes, and Rita Schmitz, all of them happily married. At the Minneapolis airport I saw the familiar face of Bus Allen, who was about to take off for Kodiak, Alaska. In downtown Minneapolis I chanced upon Tom Turnham and Don Cole with their wives Carol Patch and Mary Ann Baer respectively. I accompanied them to their homes at Hamel and was astonished to find Ronny Amundson and his wife, the former Marjorie Manning, comfortably married and running Truman,s Tavern. Later that night, having dined with the communityls leading electrician, Lew Stemmer and his charming wife, the form- er Sherol Brooks, I met Lt. and Mrs. Gor- don Engel tthe former Mary Beckl. We all went to the Orpheum Theater where we were treated to a movie by the man- ager, Marvel Hasty. The stage show was Peggy Eastman and her orchestra with vocalist, Rio Rita Merz. Then next day, I met Carol Schiebe, Jean Quay. Gloria Husos, Betty Hollis, Lorraine Heno, and Clarice Hamel. They are stenographers and secretaries and were on their way to Lucillels fashion review tLucylle Woodvillei. Before leaving for the East I had sup- per with Wayzatais number one citizens, the Getten brothers. Kenneth Johnson, re- search engineer at the U. of Minn., was at the party accompanied by Cleo Johnson, well-known interior designer. Then I left for the airport and once more found another of my old classmates, Charles Howe, who was the pilot of the plane that I was supposed to take. AAAAAAAAAAAA. AAA
