Now that breakfast is over, I believe I'l1 accompany some of the others for a visit to the new hospital here. Some of our former classmates hold important positions there. BARBARA CAMPBELL is the head of the nursing department, and IANET TURNER and SHELBY MILLER are two of the staff of Laboratory technicians who invented the new wonder-drug to keep school teachers from getting gray hair prematurely. This hospital really has a large staff of telephone operators. VIRGINIA DIEHL, LILLIAN WILLIAMS, CHARLOTTE SMITH, NANCY WERNER, GRACE IMGRUND, and IOAN VOUCHT are all employed here. I wonder how the hospital is getting along without them today? Gosh! I could spend a week looking around in here, but it's time to go back to the hotel for lunch. There are CURTIS FRAZIER, ED MCCREARY, CECIL EVANS, GLENDON GRIFFITH and WILLIS ROSE. I wonder why they weren't here this morning. Their plane was prob- ably delayed by reporters who were trying to get a statement from DON MOCK and DALE BEARD concerning their latest movie GO! . I hear that it's really a big hit. The producer of the movie is MILLARD HILLEGASS, who is making millions with his oil wells, and the director is WAYNE BERKHEIMER. There are some more late-comers: IIM MILLER, DICK HEIDORN, GERALD CORLE. and TERRY ICKES. They missed the plane that they had originally scheduled because Dick's car broke down and they had to walk to the airport. . . . Well! At last, here I am at the dinner table. This time I'm seated between PHYLLIS CRISSMAN and ESTHER OLDHAM. It's very interesting hearing them discuss recipes with FRANCES KAUFFMAN and SHIRLEY IMLER, who are across the table from us. Also across the table are STEVE MCCREARY, professional wrestler, NEIL LING, owner of Ling Truck Lines, LEONARD FERGUSON, jet mechanic, and IOE FEATHERS, famous race car driver. As we go onto the lawn for a fashion show, I see YVONNE MILLER and DONNA GRASSER, who designed the fashions, and KATHY DAVIS and NANCY MOCK, who will be the models. I hope that whatever follows this wonderful show is as interesting as everything else has been so far. My schedule says that there will be a festival tonight to let those of us who are not natives see what a real Hawaiian celebration is like. All the food for this festival is being supplied by the laborers from NANCY CLAYCOMB'S huge pine- apple plantation. . . . Now that everything is ready, the festival will begin. Who are the girls in the grass skirts? Of course, they are DORIS CLAYCOMB and NANCY WEAVER. They're going to do their famous night club act for us. . . . The festival was really wonderful, and now we will go for a moonlight sail on one of RICHARD HARR'S yachts. The end of a perfect day. It certainly has been wonderful to meet all of my old friends again and spend the day with them. After the next few hours, we'll all go our separate ways. The others will go back to homemaking, farming, politics, and their various jobs, and I, SHARON MANESS, will continue on my trip around the world, making personal appearances with BEVERLY ALLISON and her all-boy band. As we turn to go back to the hotel, we are all anxious to get to our own homes, but we are reluctant to leave our friends. Being together today has brought back mem- ories that we will never forget.

-N q: 'tv1 lS 'w ' CLASS PROPHECY Well, today's the big day-May 21, 1972, exactly I5 years since the class of '57 of C. R. H. S. graduated. It seems impossible that we'll all be together again today. The few old classmates that I've met again thus far don't seem to have changed very much. jf I remember when our plane landed at Honolulu last X ' night. BEVERLY SAYLOR was there to meet us and we X recognized her right away. Beverly and her husband run ' this beautiful hotel where we're all staying. ' When we got to the hotel, a few of the others had arrived. Standing in the lobby getting reacquainted were DR. AM-MIALYE O'BRIEN, CAROLYN LONG, world-famous sci- entist who makes wonder drugs by playing her magic flute, BOB WISSINGER, owner of the elaborate 'Wissinger's Recreation Room,' and OWEN BUTERBAUGH, coach of the Ha- waiian Hound Dogs, the undefeated Hawaiian football team. It was good to see them all again, ,but we wereall so tired that we went directly to our rooms. And here it is, morning already. I guess I'd better go downstairs and meet the others, but first a quick check in the mirror. My hair seems to look all right. It was done by SHIRLEY MITCHELL and NANCY MILLER before we left home. They own their own beauty shoppe now and are doing very' well. Now Tm ready to go down. Oh! I recognize some of my former friends alreadyf 'There are! 'DORIS EMRICK. MARY BELLE FRAZIER, SHIRLEY FEASTER, VIRGINIA STRAYER, BEVERLY BAREFOOT. and MARY ANN BELTZ. I've heard that they all hold important 'secretarial jobs for some of the United States Senators. There's VERA IUNE ROSE, home economist. She must be giving some household hints to ANNA MAE OLDHAM, DORIS BAUGHMAN, IEAN ROUZER, PAYE HILLEGASS, MARGARET TURNER and SHIRLEY SHIPPEY. I read in the newspaper that they and their husbands have started a project called The Perfect Home. As I go on into the lobby greeting old friends, I see BOB STULTZ, IOHN SHAFFER, BERNARD MCDONALD, ROSS COOK and BILL BOWSER. They're probably discussing the latest prices that farmers are getting on the market. There's ELAINE LAMBERT. I believe I'll go talk to her. I'm anxious to find out how she did the last time she swam the Mediterranean Sea. What's all the confusion across the room? I see now. IVAN WENTZ is getting ready to sing his latest recording for us. That song was written by another of our former class- mates, DONNA LEE SHAFFER. I see that BOB HESLOP, Air Force jet pilot, and IACK FEATHERS, plantation owner, are going to relive old times by playing the accompani- ment on their guitars. Ivan will appear next week on DALE FAUPEL'S Oobie-Goobie show. Here are PAUL STRAYER and IOE FEATHER. They've just completed another of their spectacular engineering feats. . . . Time for breakfast. Here's my place-card. What a pleasant surprise! I've been seated between PROFESSOR DORIS BENNA, Head of the University of Hawaii, and PAT MacINTRYE, the first lady President of the United States. Who is the couple across the table? Oh! It's CLEM MILLER and his wife, the for- mer PHYLLIS ALLLISON, who have been living happily in one of the new, modern, two acre glass houses. Thirty Eight

333.5 alI,x WASHINGTO TRIP Early Sunday morning precisely at 7:00 A. M., a procession of seventy-two sleepy- eyed seniors boarded two Blue and White buses to travel to our Nation's Capitol. About five miles down the highway, I sneaked a look at the other occupants on my bus. The boys were snoozing. The girls were wearing that thoughtful expression that clearly says. I've a feeling I forgot something. fi We left the turnpike at Fort Littleton and by this time everyone was wide awake and enjoying the fine October day. After a short rest stop at McConnellsburg, we were on our way again. By this time the conversation had turned to constant babbling of what seemed like a million voices but which, in reality, came from just thirty-seven people. Our first real vision of beauty and grandeur overtook us when we visited the Washington Cathedral. The size of the building made us almost forget lunch time and the size of our appetites. After spending some time in a cafeteria and sampling their many delicacies, we went to spend some time with our relatives at the zoo. On the more serious side of things, was our next stop at the Franciscan Monastery. This is a Memorial Church of the Holy Land and contains many beautiful shrines and al- tars, the most striking of which is The Holy Sepulchre. The purpose of this Monastery is to preserve and maintain the Holy Shrines of Iordan, Israel, Egypt, Syria, Cyprus, and Lebanon. By this time, our tired and heavy feet told us to check in at Washington's tallest building, the Cairo Hotel. After a few moments away from the noise and bustle of the city, we went to the Lotus Restaurant and dined. We also enjoyed a floor show at the same place. This delightful entertainment gave the crowd itching feet, so we went out and toured the town. Finally, at an unmentionable hour, we started back to the hotel, dragging our rubbing alcohol behind us. On Monday morning, when we opened our eyes, one thing was apparent-it was a dreary, rainy day. We had breakfast at Sho11's Cafe and then went to the Iefferson Memorial. This is a circular structure of white marble and is an impressive tribute to the author of the Declaration of Independence, who was the third President of the United States. At the' center of the inner hall, atop a black granite pedestal stood a nineteen-foot statue of Iefferson. On the surrounding panels are excerpts from his writings. I discovered it was Iefferson who spoke of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Next we went to the Lincoln Memorial. This is built in the manner of a Greek temple with 36 white marble columns representing the States of the Union in Lincoln's time. A statue of the Civil War President holds the place of honor in the center hall. On the south wall is inscribed the Gettysburg Address and on the north wall is his Second Inaugural Address. Arlington National Cemetery where rest thousands of men who gave their lives shaping the destiny of this country was our next stop. Against the background stands the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier where today and every day a lone sentry stands guard. We saw the changing of the guard. The feeling of Mount Vernon is indicated by Washington's own ambitions to settle and to pursue the art of agriculture, fulfill his duties as a citizen, and sustain in its ele-
