On© bright sunny day in September 1965, I decided to take a long trip to celebrate the be- ginning of my second million dollars, (I had failed on my first.) I still lived in the city of Dorchesterville, which had grown considerably during the past 15 years. The Wainsy railroad lines are now running through our town. These lines were founded, owned and operated by an old classmate. Dale Wainscott, who now lives in Ner York City I started on my trip by taking a Wainsy special to New York. Upon arriving, I went to see Dale and w© talked a long time about our days in school. After leaving Dale, I walked to Times Square and here to my surprise, I met the former Ruth Broeske, now Ruth Wilke. After talking awhile, Ruth invited me to her home for supper, so I oould see Norman and also her sister Elaine Broeske and friend Joan Hennlich, who were visiting her. Elaine and Joan were much the same and I spent an enjoyable hour laughing and talking with them. I left after a delicious supper to go to Madison Square Garden to see a basketball game between the Knocknees and the Pidgeontoes. It was a very exciting game, especially when I saw Billy Jantsch playing with the Pidgeontoes. The game became twice as exciting when I saw Don Baggy Seidel stumble out on the floor with a jug of water. I went to see them in the dressing roan after the game and received a cordial in- vitation to spend the night with them in their apartment, which I gratefully accepted. The next morning I said good-by and started off on foot to get a passport for a trip around the world. I walked about a block and then hailed a taxi. I could tell by the driving it was a woman driver but I never expected it to be Doris Fierke. We talked over old times and when I reached my destination she said the ride was on Irv. After I left her I went to see about get- ting my passport. As I walked into the building, whan should I see but John Lapp. He said Gene and he had started the LAST-LAPP CRUISING EXPEDITION sane time ago and were doing quite well. I got my passport and also obtained a ticket fran the boys for one of their ships. I boarded the ship and to my surprise, I met Virginia Gal) and Dori6 Zuther, who were also taking the trip. Wo talked a long time and enjoyed our dinner together in the ship’s dining room. We had a pleas- ant time chatting together and when w© arrived at Marseilles I found I had to bid farewell to my friends. Here they left the boat for Paris to resume their duties in their famous dress design- ing salon. They had just been hone for a short visit. The ship had to stop at Calcutta because of engine trouble. The repairmen were called and I was amazed to see Gerald Tauchen heading for the engine roan. He said he was very happy with his work because there was never much to do. Our next stop was a Hawaiian port. The ship stopped long enough so I could visit a large Hawiian pineapple farm and whom should I find the owner to be, but Bryce Hinke. He said he liked Hawaii because of the beautiful scenery but he missed all his old friends that lived in the States. So when I was ready to leave, he gave me some messages and pineapples to give to his friends and we said good-bye. At the end of December we sailed into San Francisco Bay I .as happy to be hone again and decided I would spend a couple of days looking around San Francisco. I had heard much about their woman mayor sol thought I would try to get a glimpse of her. I was admitted into her of- fice, and there behind the desk sat Marleen Gruny. We were both happy to see each other and we discussed all the things we had done since our high school days. After my visit with Marleen, I went to Pasadena to see the Rose Bowl Game and the coronation of the Queen of the Roses. When I got close to the Queen I recognized her to be none other than Gwen Sebold. I managed to get to talk to her a little while and she told me she was about to start another musical film in Hol- lywood with Ricardo MontalbonJ The next day I took a train for hone. We had a thirty minute stop in a small town in Ne- vada near an Indian reservation, so using this opportunity, I went sightseeing and finally came to the Indian school. I went in to inspect the classroom and to my surprise saw Mary Lou Hurth was teacher. Her old nickname, Minni Haha, had given her the idea. I spent the rest of the afternoon visiting Mary Lou, then deciding to take a quicker way hone I took a plane fran Reno, Nevada to Chicago. Stepping aboard the plane, I was greeted by Jean Miller, who was now an air hostess. We talked all the way fran Reno to Chicago, and I told her about meeting all our old classmates. I still had some time before I could catch a train for home so I wandered around Chicago. I finally came to Wrigley Field where a group of girls were playing baseball. As I stood watching them, I saw Marion Miller out on the pitcher’s mound. I went over to talk to her and she said she had become a phy. ed. teacher in one of the Chicago schools. Taking a glance at my watch I noticed it was time for my train to leave again, so I said good-by. I’m hone new. It he,s been a real delight to see all my old friends and classmates again, and I am proud that they have made such successes of their lives. Now after my little jaunt around the world I am again ready to resume my duties as the President of the University of Wisconsin. As ever, Don Schumacher
