On our return to the hotel we found Walter Jones, detective, waiting for us. And who would know more than a detective? He informed us that Mary Markley was head nurse in the St. Joseph hospital; that Sam Minsky was a doctor in the same hospital; that Oneida Vanderburg was married to a French professor; that Bessie Richardson was doing relief work in the slums of Paris: that Stella Nobles was police matron of London; that Elisabeth Howard was a cheese manufacturer In Switzerland: that Catherine Jennings was specializing in arts and novelties; that Marie Payne was coaching football at Oxford University. Two weeks later we were in Africa. We joined the great game hunter, lister Wilkon-son. in a' lion hunt in the deepest jungles of Africa. But our hunt was of no avail for deep in the jungles we found the lions being tamed by Warrlner Farnsworth for a moving picture company. He said he needed the lions for a picture In which Doris Hamilton was starring; Alvin Guthrie was playing opposite her. He said he would do better to hunt diamonds for Floyd Eldrige had a lat ge diamond mine quite near. In Egypt we found Professor Kermit Carter who was leading an expedition to find species of ancient mummies and remains of pre-historic animals. The great scientist. Dick Biddle, was accompanying him. Another surprise! Irving Crothers was writing a book on Ancient Egyptian Royalty. Faye Snider was studying Egyptian art. Bertha DeDong. a wealthy widow, was there on a sight-seeing tour. Cornelia Pickett was very busy painting the Egyptian deserts. From there we flew to India. Marieva Thomas, missionary to the poor heathens, made us welcome. Eorene Bacon was studying Indian music so that she might introduce it in America. Albert Thomsen was buying tapestries and rugs for a New York firm. In China Arbra Patton was trying to sell washing machines to the Chinks. Helen Clute was teaching dramatics in the schools. Geneva Jones was founding the Jones Institute for Girls. The most prominent photographer was Vernon Eldridge. Earl Patrick was taking jujutsu lessons. Austria produced only- one of our classmates; J. L. Forbis, who had a large sheep ranch. In Japan we hunted up Mlchi Maruyama, who was teaching the Japanese. From her we learned that Mrs. A. J. Mandox. wife of the wealthy iron magnate, one time Mary Evelyn Morgan, was visiting in Japan. With her was Francis King, noted author. Frederick Moore was now a famous shipbuilder. Thrills! Hawaii! and the old time thriller, Melbourne James, was governor of the Island. His old side kick. Paul Morris and his little wife were owners of a sugar plantation. Hortense Weakly was married to a Hawaiian singer. Onita Fish was director of the largest Hawaiian orchestra in the world. Wonders! Mildred Ives was writing a book on “Why the Hawaiians are so Enchanting.” Here we are in Alaska. Gee. it's cold, but we find Bennie Hagan capturing seals to train for a large circus. That high powered airplane is Charles Milroy’s who is trying to fly to the North Pole. Mable House was working to improve the conditions of the sanitation for miners. The best trading post in all the Northwest was owned by Minnie Bee Trayler, rich fur trader. Thelma Vandever is the wife of L. T. Whinor, salmon king. Down the coast, in Canada, we find Vernie Hayter the owner of vast wheat fields. Farther down, in the state of Washington, we found Ralph Johnson the owner of a chain of skating rinks. Hanna Smith was happy as the wife of a civil engineer. Ruth Kimbrell was a well known lecturer speaking in Seattle. Marie Moller was the wife of the mayor t Seattle. In California our plane needed repairs and we stopped in I os Angeles. While waiting on the plane we went to Hollywood and there we found Ethel Mapes to be the wife of a movie director. Marjorie Conkwright was playing the part of a mother in a coming attraction. Mildred Brimacombe was operating a chain of beauty parlors and having fair success. On May Day Parcell’s nut farm we tasted some real California pecans. In the sports at the beach, Selena Davis was the outstanding swimmer and diver. Arizona, dry and hot. Here wo visited Fred Milroy’s airplane ranch. Elsie Brlcker was achieving success as an air monitor. Eeon Hale was a forest ranger and a recluse for life. Over in New Mexico we found Ruth Wilson tearing down unsanitary pueblos and building modern bungalows for the benefits of man. In Oklahoma Marion Pickett was a banker in the metropolis of Tulsa. Evelyn Mitchell had gone as a missionary to South America. We visited our old home town of which Thelma Grigor was the mayor. Our journey is over and back to St. Eouis we fly; two ounces of gas in our tank and our heads swimming with news for our teachers. Page Twenty-six
