rupberg ci f F N THE Spring of 1934 I went on a lishing trip which I will not i Kay. 5 v - PQSQU soon forget, not on account of the number of hsh caught, but for an entirely different reason. Thereby hangs the story which I shall relate. I had linished my lunch and was lying on the cool grass, S55 JQX watching a white cloud in the sky, which was cloudless except for this one beautiful cloud. After looking for a while at this cloud it turned into the letters, Class of '24. Presently a fairy touched my shoulder and told me that if I would come with him he would show me what my former classmates were doing. I followed him without hesitation. Soon we were sailing through the sky, using the beautiful cloud as an airship. ' It was to my surprise that the cloud stopped over the Postotiice building in VVashington, D. C. As we entered the building I was amazed to see there our former class president, Sparky Bailey, who was making quite a name for him- self as Assistant Postmaster General. After speaking to him for several minutes we sailed on, until we reached New York harbor, where the largest ship I had ever seen was at anchor. As I looked over the side I saw the name, The Coviwzgton. I asked a man standing near the name of the commander. He replied that Admiral Delaney commanded the ship, and that he was approaching us at that minute. Then I recognized old Bo, our Bell hop. VVe then moved up Broadway. As we were passing the stores I noticed the most beautiful picture I had ever seen in my life. I went inside to ask the name of the artist. I inquired of a beautiful young lady about this, and as she was talking I realized that I had heard that voice somewhere before and it dawned upon me about this time that it was none other than Charlotte Smith. As the time was passing rapidly, we sailed through the sky without a stop until Buffalo was reached. VVe entered the door of a large and magnificent- looking building, At the desk inside the door was seated our little Wallace Harris. He informed us that he was owner and general manager of a group of one hundred and one stores located all over the country. The next place we stopped was in Pittsburgh before the laboratories of the VVestinghouse Electric and Manufacturing Company. As we entered the door we noticed on the door the following: Experimental Chemist-W'alter T. Owens. On opening the door I recognized- Ted seated at the desk, very busy. We could not linger very long at any place, because our time was limited and there were many more of the Old Students to account for. This time we sailed in the direction of Richmond. The Virginia Legislature was in session and we
