Luella: Hi Lorne, Imagine meeting you here!

Lorne: Well if it isn't Luella Edwards, and you don't look a day older.

Luella: Neither do you, Lorne, but you are-a-little stouter. What are you doing now? Are you still with pigs?

Lorne: Yes, I just brought a load down. What are you doing here?

Luella: Oh, I just brought a bunch of my kids to the city.

Lorne: Bunch of your kids! Why I didn't even know you were married.

Luella: Oh no! They're not my children really, I'm a public health nurse at Moak Lake. On the way down whom do you think I met?

Lorne: I haven't any idea. Whom?

Luella: At one of the whistle stops, Gillam I think they call it, whom should I see but Beverley Harcus. She is superintendent of the hospital there. I believe her interests are in the weather station. The weather man is D.O. I've been away for some time and haven't seen many of our old classmates.

What Is Bill Mann doing now?

Lorne: He is working with figures and figures.

Luella: Well, I thought he was going to be a chartered accountant.

Lorne: He's a junior member of the firm and is going to get places. Say, where's that red head?

Luella: Oh, Kay, she wanted to be a land surveyor but the closest she ever got to that was surveying the landscape. She is really seeing the country for she's hostess on the Transcontinental. She won't stay long for she is sporting a solitaire.

Lorne: Bernice Bowler is living quite close to us. She married a chap who moved into the area quite recently. Besides raising a lovely family they have a prosperous turkey farm.

Luella: Speaking of automatic farms, have you seen Don Campbell's place? From what he told me he can operate his farm from the living room. He pushes a button and the cows come in. He must be doing very well, because he was driving a Cadillac. What happened to Beverlee Grantham, whom you used to be interested in?

Lorne: Qh, Bev! She took to the birds. She married a nice young pilot and I understand they're raising a crew of their own.

Luella: Bob Buck had his eye on her at one time too, didn't he?

Lorne: As you know, Bob always was interested in history and is now trying to get his name down in the books. He's leader of this new political party and they are enjoying wonderful support from everybody. Their promise is $200 a month for everyone at thirty years of age.

Luella: Speaking of promoters, remember the Elvis Presley fan, Mary Bak? Do you know where she is? She's his promotion manager and is seeing the world. She has ambitions!

Lorne: Talking of seeing the world, Shirley Brennan seems to get around. The last I heard of her she was working as a missionary nurse in Africa. Didn't anyone in our class study medicine?

Luella: Oh, yes, Tom Fox started out to be a horse doctor, but he found horses too hard to handle. He is now a well known pediatrician, specializing in croup. Do you know what the musician of our class is doing?

Lorne: While listening to Liberace last week, I was surprised to hear him introduce Violet Go instead of as usual George and his mother.

Lorne: Who does that leave in our class that we haven't talked about?

Luella: Oh, there's Ken Kikukawa, he started working for the hydro after he left school and then earned his science degree at night school and has since developed a method of transmitting electricity by wireless. Did no one in our class go teaching?

Lorne: Yes, Joan Buck is back at Stonewall Collegiate, as principal, and all the students like her. She's finding it very interesting teaching her own family also. I hear Andrew Kolach joined the Mounties.

Luella: Andy can sure get the women, but he seems to have a hard time to get his man.

Lorne: Well, Lou, I guess that is everyone in our class. It has been very nice seeing you again and hearing what our old classmates are doing. I hope I will be seeing you again before you go back north.
