NINETEEN FORTY We have just completed our world tour in the wonderful rocket ship “Meteor,” designed by our friend Orville Condray, formerly of the Cal Poly Aero Department, and now president of the Condray Airship Co. On our trip, we met many of our friends of the Class of ’30, so we have written a complete account of our trip to let you know what some of the former Polyites are doing. We left from the Oakland airport, where we were extended every courtesy by Dan Wright, our former class mate, who has become head of the airport. Accompanying us was George Brokaw. electrical technician on the Meteor. Due to engine trouble, we were forced to remain in Denver for three hours,but this proved a luckybreak as we met Rodney Baldwin who is the head of the State Agricultural department. He told us that Bruce Miles is superintending the construction of a huge dam in Arizona which, when completed, will convert millions of acres of arid lands into blooming gardens. When repairs on the ship were finished, we continued in to Chicago without further mishap. At Chicago we stopped six hours to have our ship refueled. While waiting, we took a plane to Urbana, Illinois, where Ciro Barbaria is head coach of the University of Illinois, with an enviable record. He was delighted to see us and took us to his beautiful home where he presented us to his charming wife, the former Miss Lola Roberts. They are very happily married and have a bouncing baby boy of two and a half years who promises to become as good an end as his illustrious father. We returned to Chicago where our ship was awaiting, ready for the take off. Our next stop was Grand Rapids, Mich. Here we met Gordon Miles, now president of the Settee Furniture Company. After a short visit, we were again on our way, this time headed for Washington. At the airport there, we were met by Chris Barnes and an escort of army officers. Chris, it must be remembered, is now Secretary of War. With the help of Tony Arce, his private secretary, Chris has just put through the Nicauragua project. Being short of time, we left soon for New York where we attended the rehearsal of “Twinkle Toes,” Beverly Cowman’s stage play, starring Beatrice Stout. Bunnie made her debut on the stage shortly after leaving Poly and has climbed steadily towards success, till now she has become a sensation both in America and Europe. We remained in New York that night to rest up well for our trip across the Atlantic next day. We were much surprised to find Joe Hughes to be the proprietor of the hotel at which we stayed. He told us how he had worked steadily from the position of bellhop to that of the owner of a chain of hotels. We are very proud of Joe. At four the following morning, we left for London where, after a pleasant trip of ten hours across the Atlantic, we arrived at the huge
