-+- E L I Z A B E T H ( B I B I S ) MARTIN ('32) spent
several weeks this summer on a western
trip which included Yellowstone Park. On
her return to Philadelphia she stopped at
Chicago for several days at the World's
Fair. Her reports of her trip are full of
superlatives.
Gladys Kaufman ('32) writes: "No longer
do I have to be considered as a 'prospective'
teacher. On April 1, I signed my first con-
tract. In September I'll start teaching Eng-
lish, French, and perhaps History in the Para-
dise High School. As Bibs Martin said, 'Even
though you're teaching in Paradise, you might
think it's Hades before you're through.' Just
to enlighten you somewhat: Paradise is a
small town about six miles from Strasburg,
my home, so I'll be able to commute. The
high school was built about three years ago
and boasts about 100 pupils. I'll be able to
tell you more next year.
"In April, I was in Philadelphia and went
to our AOII reunion Bibs staged for all those
living near her. Maybelle Zahn ('32) had
been visiting me so we went down together.
There were twelve of us there to tea and we
surely had one good time 'killing.' It was
good to see everyone again."
