I9 21 N0-CA-HI ff 27 of the ship, Luella Ginther, extended her hospitality to us. We stayed on the ship until we got to New York. From New York city we crossed the beautiful fields of grain and forests, and visited Niagara Falls. There was a lot of excitement around the falls because Nora Martin was just ready to go over in a barrel especially designed for that purpose by her. From there on the scenes began to be familiar-especially in the court house in Canton, Ohio. Martha Wyles was sitting in her law office in conference with one of her clients. Of course, our next stop was North Canton. It certainly had changed in fifteen years. There were many new and large buildings. I saw very few familiar faces, but what else can one expect? The school house was twice as large as I remembered it. As I walked through some rooms, I saw some initials and names cut in the desks such as K. M., A. S., O. S., etc. This was done in the leisure time of students. After having satisfied myself with N. C. scenes, we flew north over the big city of Greentown Cthe home of one of my former teachersj , crossed Akron, which was still the rubber center of the world, and stopped at a children's hospital in the suburbs of Cleveland. As we walked through the hospital, we saw one child who had been given up by the doctors and was being nursed back to health and happiness by the Matron, Kathryn McCamant. My time being about up, we rushed on to Battle Creek, Mich., where we found Nellie Wright, a physical director in the Battle Creek school of Physical Education. As we walked into a theater in Chicago, to my utter amazement, I saw Mildred Myers, a famous blonde actress, playing the leading role in a play. Mildred looked as young as ever-because actresses always do. From Chicago, we flew over fields of waving corn and wheat in Illinois, across the great Mississippi to St. Louis, Missouri, where big ball games were taking place. ,The All-American Feminine Baseball Team, whose manager was Opal Smith, were playing the Ladies' Team of Canada. Now, there was one person we had not visited, 'so off we flew for the final lap of the journey. We flew across Kansas and across the Southwest corner of South Dakota. Soon the country began to get hilly. Frequently, we saw great herds of cattle. Just as the sun was setting in the west, we landed on a large ranch, about fifty miles west of Cheyenne, Wyoming, and found shelter in a small house. There was going to be a big round up the next morning, so we arose just as the sun was casting its beautiful rays of golden light on the mountain top. We went down in the beautiful green valley below, to await the appearance of the cattle. While we were flying around in the air waiting, I recognized the owner of the ranch, Marguerite Yarger. At once I thought of how queer it was that Cupid never invaded the class of '27 because none had ever married. As I said the first word about it, my wings disappeared, and I fell to the earth with such a crash that it woke me up, and I found myself in my bed in sunny Spain. Page Twenty-four
