Realizing that we, after our journey, were in need of refreshments, Miss Young ordered her chauffeur to drive us to the Meerman Restaurant on Broadway, where we found that Mr. Meerman’s wife, formerly Miss Ernst, was as- sisting him by supervising the culinary department. Dining opposite us were Miss Spinner and Miss Stroven. These young ladies were op- erating a hair-dressing parlor catering exclusively to the wealthy. Miss Dyksterhouse was in their employ making advertising posters for them. After partaking of a delicious meal, we bade our convivial group adieu and continued our sight-seeing tour. Stepping out on the street our attention was attracted bv a large crowd gazing interestedly at a raised platform. Elbowing our way into the crowd, we became aware of the fact that Mr. Luther and Mr. Gillhespy were conducting a rigaret blindfold test, and that officers Merrick, O’Brien and Russell were the policemen busily engaged in keeping the crowd under control. Leaving the interested crowd, we met Miss Gibbs, who was just returning to her dress-making shop. She informed us that she had just received a letter from Miss Yeeneman, world’s champion typist, and that in reply to her request she told her what had become of some of her classmates. Frances also informed us that Miss Bultliuis and Miss Tikkanen were employed as grade teachers in Coopersville. Also that Mr. and Mrs. TerAvest, nee Vivian Lieffers, were conducting the “Ye Olde Tea Tavern” in Eastmanville. Miss Wolbrink was employ- ed in the millinery department of J. J. Wolbrink’sstore. Mr. Gunne- man was sent to Japan as foreign missionary. After leaving Miss Gibbs at her shop, we decided to attend a recital of the New York Symphony Orchestra at the Roxy Theatre. When the curtain parted we were astounded to find that Mr. l uma was directing the orchestra and Mr. Wright was occupying the first chair in the saxophone section. Between orchestral selections, Miss Lillie interpreted, on the piano, the latest current song hits of the day. After departing from the theatre we stopped for a moment at a news stand and purchased an edition of “The New York Times.” In glaring headlines we read the following: “DE WITT, NATIONALLY KNOWN LAWYER, WINS THE HIGGINS-WALLACE CASE.” Turning to the sporting section we saw another startling headline: “VIC SCOTT OUT OF YANKEE LINE-UP FOR THREE WEEKS.” Reading further we found that the reason for his absence was due to a torn ligament that he sustained while sliding home in the'Yankee’s game the previous day. Garret Bennick has also entered the athletic world and has made a name for himself in the wrestling kingdom. As it was now time for our ship to be leaving, we hastened to the landing field and soon were soaring through the air, homeward bound. O. T. B. G. T. E. Page Twenty-seven

IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIC.M S lltllllllllllllllRODEOlllllllltlimm 1931 lllllllllllllllll WHILE waiting at the Hattie Creek landing field for lT. S. Zepp- lin ZR 42 which was to convey me on a sight-seeing trip to New York, who should I meet but Mr. TenElshof. Not hav- ing seen him since 1931, it was indeed a surprise to meet him and to discover that he was also traveling to the same destination as 1. Imagine our astonishment, when we boarded the Zepplin to per- ceive that Mr. Weaver was to pilot us and Mr. Downs had charge of the mechanism. However, our surprises were not yet over, for after we had gone a little distance we discovered that Mr. Kraker and Mr. E. Post, those girl-shy boys of yore, were in charge of the radio trans- mitting and receiving apparatus. While passing over Detroit I happened to remember that Mr. Schmidt was employed as assistant manager of the Ford Motor Car Co. and also that Mr. Johnson was test driver at the General Motors proving grounds. We stopped in Detroit for a short time and among the passengers who came aboard was Miss Hillman. 'Flic fact that she was with a group of young people, led me to believe that she was beneficially employed as a chaperon. This belief was confirmed when she stopped to chat with me for a few minutes. She had recently been visiting with Mr. Holmes and wrife, formerly Miss Parmenter. While there she had been renewing school-day acquaintances and it did not take her long to find out that Miss Brown was superintendent of Coopersville High School and Mr. Esther was athletic coach. While strolling down Main street she noticed that Mr. Merkins was posing in tailor-made suits for the largest clothing store in town owmed by Tim- merman Brothers. While in the Post Office talking to the postmaster, Mr. J. Post, and his competent assistant, none other than Miss Nanninga, she noticed that many of the high school girls were mailing letters to Miss Doane, in care of the Observer. On further inquiry she discoveied that Miss Doane was conducting a confidential column in said paper, to which the girls were addressing their “problems of the heart.” Miss Hillman then left us to attend to her charges. As we glanced through the Detroit Free Press, which we pur- chased, we were pleasantly surprised to note that Miss Carpenter was making miraculous advancement as a soloist on radio television pro- grams, and Mr. Lieffers w'as toiling in congress for the furtherance of farm relief. It was now time for us to leave and with a mighty roar our ship gracefully took the air and according to our schedule our next stop was to be New York. Arriving there and w hile our ship was re-fuel- ing we had opportunity to make a short tour of the city. While walk- ing along Filth Avenue a large, fashionable limousine drew up to the curb. A smartly attired footman opened the door and bowed for us to enter. We, much mystified, did not know for a moment, what to do. However, we were soon enlightened w hen Miss Young and Miss Post smiled and beckoned to us from the interior. We found that they Prophecy Time: 1943 Page Twenty-six
