ARKYND THE WORLD Cccnt.J Quite different in the English environment is James Gerdes, who is the Royal Barbarist. He told us how his co- worker, Arlene Kleene, was busy doing a 'hair-do' for Queen Elizabeth right then and wanted us to stay and visit. So after a few hcurs visit we took wing and flew out of sight. Looking down on New York City, we were thrilled to be back once again. I guess it is style for women to be taxi drivers for Audrey Grussing took us to the Grand Central Station. She had replaced Calvin Jaenlsch who was offered the position of Dexter in the WCorless Archer' show. Breathing in the fresh Washington air we came into contact with the president of the United Women Mineworkers, Gerald Behrends. He told us he was having quite a bit of trouble with Mr. Bonald Coleman, President of the United States, concerning these workers. Stopping in Chicago we saw a wrestling match between Gene Thein and Rocky Marciano, Jr. He CGeneJ packs a punch that's full of power But a doctor, Muriel Petersen, is al ways present She had copped the Cornflower scholarship to the Medical University of Pennsylvania We arrived in Ninn eapolis just in time to see the Laker's play Rodney Molenaar coaches the team from early spring 'til late fall Following highway 212 we stopped for the usual snack in Glencoe. To our amazement Iavonne Gatzmeyer welcomed us to the most delectable Chinese dish She is the new reception st at Joe's Cafe ' Just as we entered Clara City we ran out of gas Lucky Erna Wachman's husband runs a filling station She fives gas free to all her former friends when her husband isn't around That proves that home is the cheapest place yet for we entered Clara City on free gas Arriving home we picked up the Clara City Herald to read the latest HGWS There on the fr nt page in big head lines was written NLCCAL CLARA CITY GIRL TAKES OVER AL CAPP'S FA OUS CCMIC STRIP, LIL' ASNERIW It explained about Marlene Fritz received Al Capp's will and papers, also, how she was going to continue the 'Sadie Hawkin's Day' races Our eyes roved over the page we caught another familiar name uHarlene uss graduates from the Veterains Training School, What will happen nextU9999999?999 Thus ended our trip around the world We want to wish all the seniors of 1953 more success and happiness for ten years and after.
