efficient bat boy. 7e went back to our toon and ate dinner. V«e thought we night as well go on our way because we were just sitting there doing nothing YJe packed our things dumped them into tne car. We arrived in Springficdl, Illinois, about 8;00 In the morning. We were getting pretty close to the end of our journey and we were pretty tired, too. We stopped in Springfield to eat our breakfast. We walked into the first place that we thought v:as respectable and guess who was eating her breakfast, too. Mary Lou Satterfield Of course we went over and talked to her. She told us she was a secretary and she was working with the F. B. I She seemed to be well contented with her job. After we ate breakfast we continued on the la3t few miles of our journey. Arlene wanted to get out in Lincoln. She said Vayno would be down to get her that night. She wanted to visit her sister and tell her about our trip. Marie and I drove from Lincoln by ourselves and I drove It was a long trip we took, a tiresome one but wo enjoyed it. It surely was ono we won’t forget. V e finally arrived at our journeys end the time being about 6:30 Marie expected V illie to meet her, but he was still in the field so she asked me to take her on home, I guess you are wondering who I am. Well, I am a spiritual chaperon, (not in a bottle) so after I took Marie home I put on my wings and flew back up into the clouds never to roturn again. C.M.S. A.F.S (The Spirit)

was just who it was. V e hadn't seen Kenny for quite awhile so it was nice to get to see him. We had to hurry though because v e v ere all quite hungry. We went back to the apartment and ate dimer. About 7:00 P.M. we got a call from the lady who owned the apartment telling us we would have to vacate because she was back. We told her we would leave early in the morning. She told us that would be fine. We hopped out of bed about 6:00 A.M., ate breakfast packed our suitcases and were out by 7:00. V e went to the depot to see about a train to Little Rock, Arkansas. V e found that there were no reservations. We knew that the bus would be too crowded so the only thing left to do was to buy a car. V e pooled our money and had 425.02. We bought a paper with the and looked in the ads for a used car. V e found one that looked reasonable, so we hurried on to the address given. While talking to the owner of the car, we noticed that he talked quite abit about his wife, whose name was Rutiiie . We asked him what Ruthies's last name was before they were married and he told us Pruitt. We had an idea that was what it wss. be asked him if we could see her and he told us she wasn't home right then, so we wrote her a note and left it with him. Arlene thought that she should d‘ ve 30 we let her, although we didn't think it was altogether good for her. We decided we would eat our lunch before v e started, so we went up town and ate then started on. That evening aoout 6:00 we saw a sign along the road advertising fresh vegetables so we stopped. I went up to the door and knocked. I never was so shocked in all my life, because Bill Marti-nie answered. When we finished school he was sure he wouldn't be • a farmer, 30 vc had a laugh about that. He sold us our vegetables, then we bid him farewell and went on our way. The next morning about 8:00 we arrived in Hannibal, Missouri. We did not stop in Hannibal, but just on the other sitVe we saw a railroad crev: working. V e could see them pretty plain and one of them stood dut especially. V e were almost sure who it was because of tho nature of the work and we new he worked around Hannibal. V e stopped the car and went over. Sure enough it was Tom Spaget Speciale. V e talked with him for awhile, but we decided we were keeping him from his work so we drove on. If v e remember Spaget though he wouldn't care how much work he missed out on. • That evening about 5:00 v.e rot into St. Loui3, Missouri. We wanted to see a ball game so wc decided to stay there all night and see the game the next day. V e found a room, ate dinner and settled down for the night. V e arose about 9:00 and ate breakfast. The ball game didn't start until 2:00 so v e had alot of time to see the city. We ate dinner about 12:00 and then v ent out to the ball park. V e wanted to get a good seat. The game was a little late in starting, but it 3oums the bat boy wasn't there yet and the game can't go on without the bat boy. The game was between the St. Louis Browns and the Chicago White Sox. After the Brown's would bat we thought we could see someone who looked very familiar, so after the game we strolled down b s 33 for sure. It was just v io v e thought it was. Donald Tuane Taylor. lie told us he war still working for the position of
