I . 0 . - C- v 4 4 4? JJ After several years of work, I get a needed vacation. These being few and rare, I decided to use it to its fullest extent. Thinking back to my childhood memories, I thought it would be nice to visit my old home town. Arriving in Cunningham on the 11:30 Special, whom should I see but Calvin Glenn, prosperous Cunningham farmer, who was bringing in CARE packages to be shipped overseas. He told me that I would find Doris Wardell as Dean of C.H.S. The structure of the building was still the same, but my the discipline! After leaving the school, I arrived just in time to catch the 12:45 Denver bus. We were having a little bus trouble in Colorado and thought we were stalled for the night when we saw coming over the hill g contraption that looked like Barnum and Bailey's Circus. As it came closer I noticed the driver looked fam- iliar and who should it be but Verlin Urban with his Self-Propelled Combine. He told me that he had been following the harvest for the past several years. As we started down the road I heard the trailing echo of Vsrl1n's voice singing 'Dcn't Fence le In.' My next important stop was in Washington, D. C. My first move was a visit to the White House where I was met by receptionist, Kathy Howell. I asked her what she was doing and she said, 'Keeping herself busy helping Pres. Truman with his problems.' She told me that Dorothy was also'working in the White House as the President's private secretary. On the door, 'Private--Dorothy Steffen' was written so large that I could hardly find the door knob. I peeked through and saw her eating a lunch of bread and milk. She was rather embarrassed but said she couldn't possibly afford anything more expensive. Finally, after finding my way out of the lhite House, I was again on my journey. I stopped in Detroit, Michigan, at the Science Research Laboratory. Some faces change after several years, but I was surprised to see that Mary Panning's face hadn't changed a bit. Especially since she was chemist there in the laboratory. She told me she had had several close escapes but always managed some way or another. As far as inventions were concerned there weren't any, as she was still working out a 'FEW' of the formulas Coach Eisenbise had given her back in C.H.S. I was surprised to see Dean Dyche in the same city. But would you ever feature 'Deanie' mixed up with a thing like that, cars that is. Here he was in Detroit, still patronizlng the Dafforn Chevrclets. Leaving the cities I saw a little bit of country life. In Illinois, I saw one of the most beautiful dairy farms, I believe, that I have ever seen. Edna Mae Alley told me that she was running the farm by herself, with the help of Albert. Poor Edna Mae always doing things the hard way. Traveling into Montana, I visited Dick Benson. He made a rather picturesque sheep herder. 'Little Dick' was in the very middle of them and you could hardly tell him from the sheep. Dick was up to his old tricks trying to pull the wool over scmebody's eyes. Surprises will never cease! Going back to dear, old California, I find some classmates whom I didn't see on the trip. Rose Marie Epp and Joanna Dyche were settled down with husbands. Toots Schreok and Kenny Watkins made a nice married couple with three small children, Sylvester, Sybastian, and Susie. Isn't life wcnderful7??17???7? In conclusion of this trip and class prophecy of 1948, I'll return to the peace and quiet of my job.
