CLASS DDODHECY CONTINUED this feature were none other than Eileen Miller and Harold Schrader. I left Ann in Hollywood and decided to finish the journey by auto. Finding I must spend on-e night in the famed city, Reno, I -decided to ta'ke in a show. As I was 'entering wh-om should 'I encounter but Esther !Bell. She joined me and we spent the evening chatting -over old times. To my surprise she told me she was at Reno for the customary purpose of getting a divorce, this being hier third one. We parted, her final fbit of advice ringing In my ears - that I should leave men alone -that they couldn't be trusted. While passing through Missouri I .had the .misfortune to have serious motor trouble and was detained in Kansas 'City for two days. In search of some way to spend my time I noticed a bill board which stated that the Ringling Brothers were coming the next day featuring the fam-ous Lion Tamer, 4G3eorgie Eiken- berry, the 'world's most nimfble Trapeze Performer, Esther Fisher, and the great Magician and Swond 1Swaillower, Robert Burns. Of icourse I could not miss such a bit of good fortune so I started for their show and spent some time visiting with them. When my car was fixed, I resumed my journey and stopping at St, Louis whom should I find to be fighting that particular evening for Ure heavy weight 'champion- ship but 'Wendell Clingaman. Of 'course he won the fight with no effort whatsoever. Motoring on to South Bend I decided to visit the famed School of St. Mary's and who should I see there as a 'very devout Catholic Nun but Alice Engelman. my old pal and classmate. Italiked t-o her for a few minu-tes and she explained that the only way she could ever become Devine was to be converted into the Catholic faith. I next stopped in Indianapolis and picking up a newspaper, .my attention was immediately attracted 'by the headline. It was to the affect that a Missionary Department of the Brethern Church was trying to raise enough money to send Blanche Weishaar to a cannilbial island as a Missionary, Recognizing her as one of -our -classmates, I sent in my contribution immediately, for I knew Bilan-che would make a first rate fmissionary, I also noticed two ads of particular interest: Permanent Wave While you Wait - Prof. 'Carrol Zinn, an-d 'Let me look in the Crystal Baall and gee whatfs in the future for you - Dean Hileman. While waiting in the rest room at iAyres I ibecame acquainted with a lady who mentioned the name of Kathleen Doud Erenson. I inlquired further for .I hadn't heard about her for years. She told me that Kathleen was the most scientific farmer in the country. She has a model farm of ten acres and makes it support her shiiltiless husband and five children as well as herself. I was quite thrilled over my trip for I was successful in either seeing or hearing from every one of my classmates of Chili 'High School.

3 9 in ti ist, if CLASS DIQODHECY One quiet afternoon .I was deep in thought when the door lbell sounded. Ans- wering it I found my caller to be a telegraph boy. To my surprise he brought good news. I had inherit-ed One Hundred Thousand Dollars from a rich uncle whom I 'had hardly known. After I had gotten over the excitement I started planning what I should do next. The first thought that 'came into rmy mind was that now I might take a long de- sired trip around the world. II determined to start immediately. 'The next afternoon, which was Jl1I1'EI5,i1l950, I started, with 'my cousin Ann for New York. After arriving there fwe purchased 'airplane tickets and were soon 'winging our 'way toward the ol-d 1wo-rlld. fSince I had anticipated a long tiresome -trip to England can you imagine my de-light in finding that our conpilot was to be none other than my old school chum, Marguerite 'Keirn. We vtalked albout old times at Chili High School. iShe told me that she had been 'flying for thr-ee years and that soon she .hoped to earn her pilot's fwings. I found she could not tell me much about our other 'classmates except, of course, that Galen fEiler had just been elected Governor of New York. Our :first stop was in London, England, where :I had to leave Marguerite for 'her return trip to the United :Stat-es. While 'walking iby a large cathedral I heard soft organ music and upon .enltering fwhom should I find the musi-cia-n to be but Rosanna Resler. I visited fwith her for a short tifm-e. In the 'course of our conversation she told me that she had fbeen disappointed in love and was mourning her life away. She spent a portion of her time each day in playing wedding marches on the cathedral organ. I proceeded from London t-o Paris where I spent a few days with Doris Conner, now one of the most .famous dress designers in the world. Arfter visiting with Doris and spending a 'few days sight-seeing in and around Paris, we resumed our trip by flying to Tripoli on the coast of North Africa. There again, while visiting one ofthe night clulbs in Tripoli, I received a very happy surprise. Whom should we encounter but another former classmate - Pauline Fouts- We 'discovered -that she had estalblished a beauty shoppe in Tripoli and had developed a large native trade in a face lotion which was guaranteed to remove all trace off -tan. The only schoolmat-e she 'could tell me about 'was Leo ll-Iively. She said she understood that he was gaining great popularity and had acquired a 'fortune in rSouth America by selling a pom-padour wax, From Tripoli we took passage on ia steamer lbound for the good Old U. S- A. Luck it seems was with us. We were invite-d to sit at the icaptain's 'table for din- ner on the first night out. Upon entering 'the dining room we were very surprised and happy to find that our host was none other than Captain Louis King. Robert Crippen chief deck scrtblber' on the steamer, stated that he had received word from our old friend Hugh Rcblbins, who seemed quite thrilled albout :being accepted as Minister of th Paw Paw iM, E. Church, and is also happily married with a When 'we docked at San Francisco I bade good-1bye to Louis and Robert, and through habit my thoughts roamed to Hollywood, that lMefcca for those brilliant screen stars We met a friend of my cousins there and found we were just in time for the premier of one of 1VllGlM's heralded musical masterpieces.

We've kept our grades as high as we could, Even though sometimes they were not very goodg We've done our very best, we think, Although sometimes we would almost sink. Now that our school days have come to a close, And someone else will take our place, we supposeg We hope we've left some helpful deed, That some other class may sometime need. To our future we onward go, Much as we hate to do, you know, We'1l be black, we hope, some day To See how our successors are malking their way. A --Alice Engelman fi! B I ,ef t fe 1 PAGE 22
