Katherine Kentopp is the author of a book explaining the new dance sensation 'The Sliced Cucumber.” Tom Bryson is touring the country to charm audiences with such works as Thanatopsis. Irma Lee Lord has established a very popular recreational center where young people are urged to come and have a good time. Our classmates also tell us that if we lack for diversion while in Capitol City, we can arrange for a pleasant evening through Don Heinzelman's Exclusive Escort Incorporation.” Dean Slagle recently took over the Little Robert's Almanac publication. Maxine Allen teaches the fourth and fifth grades of the little green school house but she can't say much for her pupils. It seems they are in harmony with all the other green things on the islands. Lucille Schloeder is the Doctor of the Capitol City Hospital and has charge of such great nurses as Virginia Stump, Betty Phillips and Alice Hale. Stenographer for the Emperor is Dorothy Hackworth. She is assisted by Maxine Grady who writes his signature on important documents. Edna Mae Kouns has a priceless collection of books which is open for public inspection three nights a week. After our friends leave, we pick up the newspaper and scan the headlines. It seems that: Ilene Cox has taken over Walt Disney’s Greenland” studio and now has a serial started called Mickey Mouse takes the Air.” Mary Frances Hysell publishes a syndicated column entitled How to be sure you have got your man.” Doris Dragoo and Eunice McBride hold important positions in the Civil Service of the islands. La Verda and La Veda Creech have married twin brothers and are now in charge of the Greene Embassy at Zanzibar. Gordon Stump is a great wrestler; sportsmen believe he will defeat Plump Stocky, alias Howard Schroedl, the present heavy-weight champion of the world. Betty Kathryn Cole has charge of the Fashionable Foolishness” column of the Niagra Evening Eye Sore.” The following morning we go to the radio station to hear a broadcast. We are ushered into a small room and instructed to be quiet while the program goes on the air. Elizabeth Holmes is giving fashion notes mixed in with a woman's view of the news. Immediately after is the Tom Call this Morning hour with Red Fallen, alias Wayne Knisely as Master of Ceremonies. He makes a report on a recent news note from the Separated Press as follows: Flash! Hildegarde Witt has disappeared. Authorities fear a kidnaping and have put a large force of detectives on the case.

As we travel down the street Orville tells us: Raymond Herbster sells new and used cars, Margaret Schober is the proud owner of a thirteen-operator beauty shoppe called the Maxwelle Salon”; a small book store owned by Don Butler advertises his life story The Hero”; Nellie Ruth King owns a florist shop, and Mary Emma Wiss-man sells them across the counter. Around the corner is a quaint old English inn that sells home-cooked meals at moderate prices. It is run by Sarah Jane Cockerham and Helen Inks. Imogene Young is the head waitress. Next we see a new filling station with bright green pumps carrying Flexico products and managed by Amos Yoder. There is a corner of the station set aside for the Smile-a-while studio where Ruth Gatz and Marcile Dorste take and make your photo while you wait. Across the street is a grocery store named Tony's Market” owned by Miriam Mower. Next door Robert Prosser is selling a new car named La Floato that gives one the impression of a Dashhound. Just across the street is a Confectionery Counter operated by Jean Livingston and Lorraine Bauman. Our bus pulls up in front of the Hall of Science and our guide urges us to look around. The first thing we see is a large duoplane, invented by Alan Andrew, to run on feathers. In a special case is a minute mariner’s compass no larger than a ring, perfected by Stanley Sailors. There is a picture of Edward Koso, who has been a diligent student in the university for many years and has worked out a method of leading a horse to water—and making it drink. Vesta Bletscher has discovered a formula for a new shade of green, guaranteed to wear well with any color of hair. Jane Anne Lake has invented a labor-saving device which, if attached to a piano key board, will emit the sound of a ten-piece orchestra. Dearie Schatz, a renowned doctor, has written a pamphlet on The Importance of Goat Milk-in the Daily Diet”, and Charles Godfirnon is his agent to see that every home has at least one quart a day. A very different and more efficient penmanship method has been perfected by Geraldine Stoner. Leaving the Hall of Science, we head for the hotel after a most enjoyable day of sight seeing. As we enter our hotel lobby, we see Viola Mae Class and Gladys Hartman sitting in the lounge. They tell us that they are making a tour of the world and are just now waiting for their third companion, Mavis McLaughlin. Chatting with them we learn: James Kirk operates a Frederick's 77 .Station on eleventh street and is a rival of John Schaible in the gasoline business. The most widely known artist on the islands is Doris Mae Starkebaum. Her favorite models are Marjorie Morsman and Billy Wing.

Franklin and Leonard Weinert have chargeing to conduct the trial when the abductors are of the investigation and Edgar Wiltse is prepar-found. Paul Oliver is anxiously waiting, while Robert Rieschick tries to comfort him by saying she'll never be released. Marjorie Jahns and Geraldine Jones, who were the last persons to see the victim, say she was dressed in a green suit with orange accessories. Flash! Inspector Ernest Strasil reports that the missing girl has been found and returned to her home. She just wondered if anyone would miss her! The program continues with Doris Stein man giving interpretative readings on the Silver Sardine hour. Another artist who shares her popularity is Quinton Lively, master of a new instrument called the Gazooka. After the broadcast we board a street car and ride into the country where we exclaim over the Green Pastures. Fern Scholl owns the most beautiful farm on the island and just across the road Genevieve Wheeler owns a yacht club where we can see one of the daily races which are put on by her patrons. We stop at a lovely spot in the middle of a green valley to visit with Edwin Brecht, who discovered the real fountain of youth. He has enclosed the well and invites any of his classmates to drink at will. Having found the Green Islands a reg.on of exceptional interest because of renewed acquaintances, and believing that the class of 1938, members of which we have found to be well and in health, is by far the most progressive group ever to graduate from the Falls City High School, we turn our faces homeward with the satisfaction that we, too, are a product of that great institution.
