Senior Booster PROPHESY ' 1955” In the year of 1955 one of the Buffalo High School’s members made a tour around the world., VJe find this member to be Ldythe Fair- banks whose home is in New York City. She has proved to be the world's greatest Woman Sky Pilot . Edythe has made many non-stop flights and won many great championships, but this year she made a j ! world tour. ! - j: She had gone to- Europe; her first landing was at Liverpool Eng» j land. While there visiting different scenes a woman spoke to her | and asked if she had seen the depot yet. The woman told Edythe a few interesting things about it, which aroused her curiosity. Stra- ; Ight for the depot Edythe went and whom did she find there but Will- iam Griffith acting as train master. William showed Edythe the building and besides seeing the different parts they talked about the interesting things of Buffalo. After leaving the depot, Edythe began on her long journey. Her next stopping place was London, Waterloo Station. Hearing something about Waterloo Station as an underground city, she ’dished to see this place. She waited to hire a taxi so she could go to West Minister Abbey. Firing the sight-seeing taxi, she was startled to see Tom Holdsworth at the wheel. Tom was also an old school mate of Ldythe's. They chattered along the way about goo old school days in Buffalo. She found West Minister Abbey to be wonder- ful to see and she spent several hours taking in the sights. She stayed at this station that night, enjoyed a good nights sleep and left the next morning for Paris. She crossed the English Channel with a little aeroplane sailing right along. It seemed to her only a very short time until she land- ed at the air port. When she went to have her olane put in a hanger whom did she find to do the work but Lowell, Barnhart another member of Buffalo High School. Lowell was in charge of these hangars and as it was only a short distance from Paris he could tell her some of the interesting things to visit. She was told to go to the Rue De Grande fashion shop and see another former school mate of hers. Edythe entering the building found Donald Rusten displaying the fashion models for his wife the former kary Lilley of Buffalo. Donald showed Edythe many interesting things that probably she wouldn't have noticed if she were alone. They wanted Edythe to stay over a few days and visit them but she said she was leaving the next day for Italy. After several d ys travel she landed her plane in Rome. She had read in papers about the Popes home and how beautifully designed it was. She landed out of the city some miles but hired a taxi to take her to the City. After asking a few questions of the driver she soon found where the marvelous building was.
