AIYUKPA O I947 in the vicinity. Arriving in Fu Chow, we not only found the missionary, but she was Betty Miller. Feeling well rewarded for our Vhinese trip by Betty 's kind. pleasing way, we headed for the Pacific Ocean and Pershing Square. Only one member of the graduating class was missing from our tour. Merlin Peterson seemed to be nowhere ill our travels. As we descended upon Abbott for Dogeatcher Park Bench, we noticed an elderly gentleman seated there. He had white hair, a small goatee, and sideburns. To the amazement of both of us it was Pete. His financial worries had made him age rapidly and just as he had taken out his retirement, his brother Darl had written him of our visit. He had been sitting on the bench for three days waiting for our return. Thus making a perfect cycle of the graduating class of l47, we felt very rewarded to see them all in good health and attitude.

AIYUKPA 0 9 I947 our perplexity was overcome we realized we had at last met our objective. The Swedes had gained a foothold and NVilbur had changed his name to Mae NVil- burson, vowed never to return to the Swedes in North Park, and hidden his true identity. Leaving the South unexplored as yet, we decided to go to New Orleans and start our explorations from there. Who should we find in Orleans by Nancy Holden, now employed as a six-day bicycle racer. She was unable to stop racing and talk to us, but it was nice to see her again. Arriving in Kentucky, we found Darl Peterson. He fed us a delicious meal of preserved turnip greens and po'k chops. lt seemed he had gone into the dry farming business with Lil Abner Yokum. XVishing him success in winning Daisy Mae Scragg from his partner, Lil Abner, we left for Tennessee. Here we found Doris llakonson as a successful engineer of the new and better T. V. A. She was very prosperous and renowned for her ability in flood control and dam building. 'It seemed there were no more classmates in the ll. S. A., so we headed for New York to take off for Europe. lVe caused quite a commotion, and the mayor of New York and the New York welcoming committee held a reception in our honor. Bette Hoover was asked to come to our reception as one of New York 's more prominent society matrons. lYhen she discovered the Prophet a11d lady politi- cian were none other than Reams and Abbott unincorporated, she innnediately wanted us to come for a series of parties depicting the spirit of our class of '-17. To meet her family, to see her pet hobby purebred Holstein milch cows, and a variety of other things. lVe gracefully withdrew a11d started our trip across the ocean. Our trip across the ocean was without event and we arrived at England quite safe and sound. As we descended we were almost mobbed by a large crowd of people who had never seen a magic carpet, after much delay we finally broke away. VValking down main street, what should we see but a large theatre proclaiming that Herbert A. Laughter was now playing. On the marquee was a huge profile, it proclaimed that at least one member of the class of '47 would get his name in tl1e lights. Proceeding to Paris, we decided to see the sights before looking for fellow ahunni of J. C. H. S. On top of Eiffel Tower, much to our surprise, we found Milet Turplague and her wardrobe mistress, Sherl Hackley. Millie was speak- ing in a very Frenchy tone. lt seemed she was No. 1 French model for the gov- ernment and at the next patriots fashion show she wanted a hat fashioned after the tower. Sherl seemed truly stumped, ln Leningrad, a. tall Russian Uossack uniform was training some young ballet dancers on the public green. 'llhe sign said it was Clifford Cooksky school of modern ballet. NVe would have liked to speak to him, but as he was so busy it proved impossible. llis Hehorus girls were pretty and all seemed to be very infatuated with their instructor. Leaving the Soviet- Republic, we toek o11e of our longest trips. Following the Yangste river through Kuku Nor province we stopped at Ping To Village. A translator told us that the missionary woman had just left for Fu Fhow. If we hurried we perhaps could catch her and find out if she knew any Americans Page Forty seven
