energy. It was the first of its kind ever to appear on Dcluvan Streets. A great crowd surrounded the utommobiie, so it was difficult for us to see who the occupants were. As the crowd began to disperse, we caught a glimpse of the passengers alighting. We saw a stunning womun dressed in the height of fash-i n with eight children, two pairs of twins and a very fine looking man with iron gray hair. As the mother looked up, Alice exclaimed, Why, it’s Marianna.” It certainly was she with her usual vivacity. After friendly greetings Mar-iannu introduced us to her husband, who was n dealer in atommobiles in Chicago. We all entered the restaurant, where the waiter found a table near us for Marianna and her family. Marianna inquired of us if we had seen Jean as she expected to arrive earlier in the day. Marianna frequently sees Jean in Chicago as she is a stewardess on a passenger .tii plane flying between Chicago and New York. Mary told us that Jean hud been engaged to a fine young man, who objected to her flying, and as Jean would not change her career, they agreed to part. Jean had said, I love to fly and I’m wedded to my work.” Just as we were leaving the restaurant, we saw a helicopter circling the city, and soon it landed on the roof of the restaurant, It was none other but Jean, who hurriedly left the plane and soon joined us. We all piled into Marianna’s atom-mobile, holding the kiddies on our laps, and up to W. S. I . we went. At the school we were welcomed by Mr. and Mrs. Milligan in their same most gracious way, and Mary Milligan, who was home from college. Mrs. Willis tarried outside, waiting for her husband to arrive while we were ushered to our rooms. Walking through the hulls, our thoughts drifted back to bygone days as few changes had been made. However, the walls had recently been redecorated and everything was spic and span for the great occasion. That evening at the happy gathering in Hannan Hall there were many strange faces as well as familiar ones. Standing in the midst of a group, flourishing his arms, was a big, burly fellow telling of his rodeo experiences, wrestling matches and the football games he had played. This was none other than David Carlson. We rushed up to him and soon found that, in spite of his great way with women he was still a bachelor and living in Montana. Presently Mrs. Willis entered the hall with her husband, who turned out to he Edward Czernicki. He hus changed his name to Willis owing to the difficulty he had in business in getting people to spell and pronounce his name. It was a shock to us, but we were no less happy to see him again. The reunion was a grand success and I am sure that the memory of it will remain fresh in our minds the rest of our lives. For this happy occasion, every alumnus owes a deep sense of gratitude to Supt. and Mrs. Milligan for their hospitality. I am writing this on the train bound for Washington. Alice remained in Chicago for a while with Jean and Marianna. It has been such fun to live over again the happy times of the past few days that seem now like a dream. —Mildred Shawanokasic 13
