About five miles inside of Canada, my stomach was getting weak, and seeing a restu- rant just below me, I stopped in for lunch. When almost half finished with my lunch, in fact it was just as I was drinking my coffee that a Royal Mounted Policeman walked in, and in that uniform was Neil. Gosh-I did he look slick in that suit. I asked what he was doing at the present and he said that he was looking for a pair of middle-aged men who were smuggling moonshine from the states into Canada. Gosh! this almost made me swallow the coffee, cup and all. Boyl after hearing this our acquaintance was short, come to think,of it I left immediately. After leaving Canada and coming back into the states, I went west. About four hours of riding brought me to a small town in Nevada, and while my flying Pal was getting his tank filled, I went up-town sight-seeing, or as the women call it window shopping. When walking through the busiest sections of the town, I happened to peek in one of the windows, but this window belonged to a beauty parlor, and doggone my peepers, there I saw Sophie curling such beautiful pigtails with Arline's hair. Well, men usually aren't allowed in such places so I walked in. Our chat lasted about half an hour. During this time I found out that Arline was now a Mrs., whose husband owned a prosperous mining business in that town. But Sophie was still a Miss, who hadn't given up hopes yet, She men- tioned that at present she was going with a tall dark, and handsome Negro, who was so romantic. Well seeing that I had to leave, I wished Sophie the best of romance and left her, to return to my Flying Pal. My next stop was Hollywood. When I arrived there I went in a building and walked right into the middle of an act, and guess who were playing the starring roles? Mertz and Pansy. The show was about Navy life and its sidelines. But my real surprise was when a familiar voice from behind asked me to move back a little. I looked around and there before me was Kenny. I asked him what he was doing there. And what do you know, he was the producer and the director of the play. My next move was not halted till I reached San Francisco. Here is where I met most of the Old Gang. On the way passing a huge building I noticed a sign which read Reducing for Women. This institution was directed by Nancy Schulz and her assistants, Betty Hornung and Germaine Wagner. I later found out that Nancy was the winner of the Most Perfect Figure Contest of 1955, I had a temptation to walk in and see her exercises but was interrupted by a Lieutenant General, who turned out to be Len Sacho. When talking with him awhile, I found out he got his rating by doing good deeds for the Generals. He being in a hurry to go see the President, we separated. The Golden Gate was an interesting sight too. For there, I met Bob Schmidt, and Don Drumm. They just got out of the Brig. So they bought themselves a yacht. They even offered me a ride, and I like a fool, ac- cepted. Boyl can those sailors make those boats turn, and travel. With my pleading we made the ride short, for I still valued my life. After this I got back to .my Flying Pal and headed back home. About half way home, I had to stop and refuel My Flying Pal again. At his town I stayed over- night. When I awoke the next morning I had a little time so I bought myself a newspaper, and when I looked at the headlines my eyeballs rolled out, but managed to push them back in again. The head- lines read Corporal Phillip Adamski Makes Germans Behavef' As I read further I found out that for his heroic deeds in the last war, the Big Three gave him a part of Germany with himself in com- plete power. I bet old Fido loves that. In the same paper I read about Bob Bergs, the famous College Professor, who made another new discovery on how to make gas out of water. Looks like I'll have to visit him soon. No? When nearing home I turned on the radio and suddenly heard a News Flash. Elaine Berg and Mary Eberhardy just bought out the Commonwealth Telephone Company, so it looks like they are in a fair sized business, too. Back home I met Leon. The Marines really made a man out of him. All he wants now is a place to settle down and peace. Lanie seems to have the store in order- yet, while Verlyns ice-cream factory is still keeping him the same size. Gee! Irving Halverson finally made up his mind. He bought a farm in Schnopsville and plans to raise the best herd in the state.

Last spring was ten years since my last days of high school. It is also the first time I went on a vacation. Travelling now-a-days really is a bit different than it was back in my young days. Now all I do is hop in- my Helicopter, which I call My Flying Pal, and I'm off. Here is what I encountered on my trip. I had planned to go up North first, so that's where I went. On the way over a woods, I noticed a lumberjack chasing a rabbit and from the appearance the rabbit was gaining dis- tance. This scene looked interesting so I picked a suitable place to land and landed. I asked Luke why all the commotion and he simply answered that he had a little trouble with his women, so he was trying to get a rabbit's foot to bring back the good luck that he had before he was married. After a little chat, he asked me if I was dry. I said sure a little, so he lead me to a place where was served nothing but the best. But when we arrived there, I almost fell over, for there were Gordy and Bob L. hav- ing a merry time beside a keg of moon-shine. After we laid a couple behind our belts and talked about the old times, it got sort of late, so I took off again and I flew over the bbrder into Canada.

What do you say Ludkey and- Straub? 11- I agree with you, Mary, that people shouldn't read other's notes, but it was very interesting. 12- Next time, take it easy, cause you know, Germaine, running into teachers isn't the best policy. 13- Fishing is quite a sport but Philip, why do you take part in it at night, on Main Street? And do you always sing when you fish? 14- Lanie Kaiser has been sporting a pretty blue sweater since Christmas. It certainly was the cause of trouble, at times. 15- You may have good speed in typing, Arline, but it works a lot better if there is paper in the machine. 16- Luke Lang seems to have trouble with his handkerchiefs. All we know is that one morning Luke's hankie was sticking out of his back pocket, and seemed to be slightly covered with lip- stick. 17- Does Bob Bergs make it a habit to frighten little children? I found out when he was adjusting th microphone something happened and one of the Juniors jumped practically a hundred feet!!E! fSlight exaggeration possiblej 18- Irv Halverson assured us he never did anything to make his face red, but we wonder???? ?????????????????????
