At the airport he is greeted by Bob Waggener, lim Mnsgraveis chauf- feur, Jim is the one and only President of the Mick- ey Mouse Club. Looking around the Hollywood stu- dio. He sees a breath-taking scene played by that famous and most handsome Movie Star Couple, Dave Hatt and ,lanis Busch. The picture is being directed by Mike Melroy, the zaney director. When leaving the studio, he sees George Fischer riding around in his new model sports car. On the way to Chicago, while passing over the desert in Ari- zona, he sees Bill Schuermeyer, making his ice- cream sundaes and selling them to anyone who Twenty-six happens to get lost in the desert. Upon arriving in Chicago, Mr. Bekemeyer goes directly to Madison Square Gardens to see the Championship Wrestling Match, featuring David Wilde, heavy-weight champ. The match is refereed by the fairest caller of all, Neil Shanklin. Sitting at ring side is Charleen Bachmann who is Miss Universal Homemaker. On the way back to Affton, we stop in the Ozarks es- pecially to hear that outstanding hill-billy singer Margaret Denser. Arriving back home at last, Mr. Bekemeyer goes to Kresgeis Dime Store, whose President is Nancy Allen, and buys some corn plas- ters. Thank you, Mr. Bekemeyer for being our sponsor. You were the greatest! Signed the Senior Class of 1957.

he finds .loyce Zinselmeier still fullfilling her six- teen scholarships which she won in high school with high honors. Still enthused with education, Mr. Bekemeyer goes to Heidelburg University in Germany to see his old pupil Wayne Eirich, Pro- fessor of Chemistry. Given a free ticket to the fa- mous circus of Germany, Mr. Bekemeyer decides to attend. He is greeted by Shirley McGovern and Ruth Worth, who are two circus clowns. They take him to see all the good side shows which in- cludes Charlie Mayer, a magician, who cuts glam- orous Nancy Norrenberns in half. Wondering why he is scratching so much, he turns and finds Bob Pickett, the flea trainer. looking madly for his fleas. Looking up, he sees Virginia Deveraux, the lady fire eater. Suddenly he notices that it is time for the big show to start, so Mr. Bekemeyer takes his seat next to John Mclnerny, the owner of the circus. The first act leaves Mr. Bekemeyer breathless as he watches Don Murray on the flying trapeze. The next act consists of Janet Kehr and Bill Woodrome, the only people in the world who can roller skate on the high wire. There's a loud roar, and when Mr. Bekemeyer turns, he sees Rosalie Hiltibidal, the fearless lion tamer. The last act turns out to be a thriller as Roger Schmeider is shot out of a can- non right into Mr. Bekemeyerls lap. While leaving the circus, he notices foe Albrecht, a famous for- eign correspondent who is watching the circus. Then he decides to leave Germany to visit Carol King, Dean of the Military Academy of Austria. While he is in Vienna, he meets Don Bingen- heimer, the only redheaded canal boat driver in the world. He visits for a while and then remem- bers that it is about time for the Olympics to start in Greece. He barely gets there in time to see Bill Borcherding set the record for the high jump. The next morning he has the urge to see Algeria. the headquarters for the French Foreign Legion. While he is there sight-seeing he sees Ronnie Healey, Lee Herberger, and Richard Herbergs, who are French Legionaires. On the way back to Austria his rocket runs into a storm and they get lost. Oh No! Poor Mr. Bekemeyer! He is never going to see all his students this way. The plane finally lands in Ara- bia. Mr. Bekemeyer gets an idea. He remembers that Carol Glass lives in Arabia now. It seems that she started a lingerie shop in Arabia and made quite a fortune. While he is there, he stops in at the palace to see Melvin Glass, the present mahara- ja. He stops in at Jerusalem to say hello to Judy Gilpin who is still searching madly for that certain minister. Mr. Bekemeyer has heard so much about the Russian Ballet in Moscow that he decides to go there. To his surprise, he sees Maureen Foley, the prima donna of the ballet. On his way home from the ballet he is stopped by Bob Grempler and Vir- ginia Schenk. They are on business in Moscow and wanted to talk to him before he left. Mr. Beke- meyer just couldn't figure out what business they are in until he reads the morning newspaper and ea. Zena am sees that they just broke up a spy ring for the FBI. While he is busily reading an article How To Be Polite In Ten Easy Lessonsv by the noted writer Gloria Schoenfeld, he doesnit notice the rocket land- ing in India. All of a sudden he sits up with a start, there is a snake crawling across him. Then he notices Barbara Schroeder, the snake charmer, who reassures him that the little snake won't hurt him. After he gets over the scare he decides to take a little walk. As he gets off the rocket, he sees Rodger Kohler sleeping on a bed of nails. He strolls around the airport and wanders off into the jungle. All of a sudden he is in the air. An elephant picked him up, but luckily George Hutchi- son, the elephant boy from India, was there to rescue him. He decides to get back on the rocket ship before anything else happens to him. As they approach China, he hears people talking about the famous St. Louis Hawks making a world tour and that they are now in China. Since they were stop- ping there anyway, he goes to the game to see the St. Louis Hawks play the Chinese Dragons. It is truly an exciting game. It proves to be especially exciting since Mr. Bekemeyer sees that cute little cheerleader, Nedra Matter cheering the Hawks on. As he looks again he sees Ronnie Schmitt, their star player, making the winning point. All of a sudden there is a loud cheer and then a loud crash, as he sees Lalferne Hill falling out of the grandstand still cheering for Ronnie. While the rocket is land- ing for repairs he goes to the concession stand and buys a Chinese book. When he opens it he is sur- prised to see it is written by foy Kessler, the only American to write poetry in the Chinese language. The rocket starts up again and he is on his way to Japan. He is greeted by General Leroy Fischer, Commander in chief of the Marines in Japan. Be- fore leaving Japan, he comes across David Spreng- ferj who is still looking for summlerl. While crossing the ocean again, he stops for some fresh pineapple in the Hawaiian Islands. Here he is en- tertained by that famous group of Hula dancers. .lune Lenhardt, Dianne Schoenherr, M a r i ly n Schneider, and Donna Klug accompanied by that famous Wayne Kuehrfs Rock the Hulaw Band. After a short swim, Mr. Bekemeyer finds that somehow he has stumbled on some strange look- ing island. It looked quite deserted until he saw Russell Klein in his little grass shack. The cap- tain of an ocean liner, George Waites, comes to Mr. Bekemeyer's rescue in order that he may fin- ish the rest of his journey. Aboard the ship is Betty Harrison the famous Deep Sea Diver. Aft- er exploring the wilds of the underground ocean, he again boards the rocket ship for the next stop which is Australia. He especially wanted to come to Australia so that he could see Billy Budt, a kangaroo trainer. Before leaving he comes across the laboratory of James Frank, John Huber and Milton Berwin who are still trying to build lContinued on Page 26-l Twenty - f ive
