3150 859 W K, s9. ezeaa A'xs Cmrgtmgw W street corners to see what short skirts pick up. So much for the Missouri sights , I must be on my way. After landing at the airport in Denver, I was astonished to discover BILLIE ROERK, the automobile czar, waiting'uaneet the next passenger plane. He was driving one of the most elaborate cars ever owned. He showed me the new and effective pickdup this car had.--The headlights winked. Our deep discussion soon found its way to women, as you can imagine. I guess that he still goes for the intellectual type. He said, I like a girl with a good head on my shoulders. On my way to California, I developed plane trouble and had to make a forced landing in the Nevada Desert. What a surprise I received here! I had landed in the center of a training camp. There was CARL FASKE, better known as Muscles , the World's Heavyweight Boxing Champion. He wassparring with his boxing mate and showed me his favorite knockout punch. It was made of grape juice, orange juice, and ginger ale. When I asked him who hit him the hardest during his fighting career, he replied, The tax collector. we were discussingtid.classmates, and Carl told me that MARCELLA DAVIS went flying through here just a few days ago. He said that she was in such a hurry about something. The story goes that she went to college and became a Home Economic teacher. It was her very first day of teaching and she was baking a cake. The recipe read, Put one egg in, then beat it. My plane was now repaired; so I continued my Journey. After landing at Hollywood, I imediately headed for Hen's-Golden-Layer tor is it Metro-Goldyn-Mayerl where they produce all the movie stars. Here I found KATHLEEN CONARD who is now a famous movie actress. She told me all about her latest picture, John's other Mother-in-Law. She plays the part of John. While on a recent tour of the country, she said that she had seen VERNON WAGONER. He had been going around with the same girl for quite some time until the revolving door hit him in the head. He was later drafted into the army as a bugler. So when the bombs began to fall, Vernon blew. Kathleen also saw BILLY BREWER on her tour. It seems that Bee had become a famous author, but was always using a pen name t7896h2l instead of his real one. His latest book was entitled I'll Meet You in the Spring, If I Can Get Through the Mattress. Wishing Kathleen success on her next picture, I hastened to enjoy the pleasant sunshine in my California resort near Los Angeles. This was the most pleasant vacation trip that I had made because it was wonderful unknow that the members of the Senior Class of l9h8-19h9 are living a happy and prosperous life. A. J. McKinley
