tinuing her study of the French language. We spent much of the time of our trip together. Finally, the Statue of Liberty welcomed us back to New York. At the airport I was met by Doris Kraft, a. news reporter, who wanted my opinion of Europe. After talking a few minutes with her, I hailed a cab and directed the driver to take me to my hotel. He didn't seem to understand me, so I re- peated what I said. Looking at him more closely, I saw that it was Tubby Houser. He began the ride with a few bumps but soon went so fast that I could scarcely keep my seat. Suddenly there came a crash, I screamed and knew no more. When I awoke I heard voices over my bed, and upon opening my eyes I saw Jimmy Lannon and Victoria Michalski arguing about the merits of two different medicines. Viccy told me that she was the superintendent of the hospital and that Jimmy was the head doctor. Viccy and Jimmy had Lorna Evans and John Schallis under their care. I learned that we had bumped into a truck and the driver was going to sue Tubby for damages. He asked for a lawyer, and who was sent to him but Bobby Saxon! Remember, he was on the debating team, and that's probably where he began the art of arguing. As soon as I was well, I was taken to the court. The judge had not come in yet, but just as soon as we were seated, the door opened and Charles Fogarty took the judge's bench. Tubby Houser was then escorted in by two policemen whom I recognized as Frank Kitchen and Donald Williams. We waited for the truck driver to come, and soon I saw Ray Schneider escorted by Thomas Koch, his lawyer. The case began, and as a result of Bob's eloquent speech, Tubby was dismissed without paying damages. The judge said, however, that he should drive more carefully in the future and take his job more seriously. When I reached my hotel, I found some letters there for me. I opened the first one and found that it was an invitation to one of the season's largest balls to be given by Helen Szutowicz. I learned later that Helen is quite a society lady. The next was an announcement of the opening of John McGeehan's real estate office in Georgia. John, you remember, married a girl from our school who had come from Georgia. The next was the announcement of the New Hairdressing Establishment and under it were the names of Thelma Houseknecht and Charles Romanelli, Pro- prietors. Having read my mail, I sat down and turned on the television radio. I looked in and saw a familiar face. just then the radio announcer came to the microphone and announced that Rev. Nevin Snyder was going to give a short talk on The Evils of the Modern Worldf' When his speech was over, I turned to another station and heard some one say . . . and if you have any love affairs in which you need advice, write to Gertrude Richards in care of the station to which you are listening. Remember, she was always giving us advice on our affairs at school, so she had lots of practice. I turned the radio off and decided to go for a short walk. I walked until I came to a large department store. Outside was a large sign which gave the information that this was The Lohrke, Ball 81 Co. Store. I went inside where I saw William Casper walking up and down the aisle. I went over to talk to him and he told me that he was the Sl Co. of the business. A little later I went back to the hotel to retire. Several uneventful days have now passed and since I have not fully recovered from the accident, I have decided to go home to visit old West Hazle- ton. I do not expect to see many of our old friends there since I met most of them in my travels. The town itself, however, will recall many pleasant memories of high school days. And now, Jessie, I hope that I might soon hear more concerning you and your new position as secretary of Mr. Rosenwald. An old schoolmatc, ELEANOR MCKIQNNA. V aaa -W -:-W. we W?-'? V .'i. .sw
