N 5 2 3 16 5 Just as we were about to turn off the visio-radio, we heard an important news flash. Ambert Eabcock, a mad science-fiction fan, had just flown the first rocket to the moon and was challenging anyone else to try to land there. Before we knew it, we were in London. Climbing out to stretch our legs, we found ourselves confronted by Donald Brown, a writer of several popular ro- mantic novels, who told us he was resting before starting another book. Walking down town we came to a lecture hall, and deciding it would be a good place to rest, we went in. As we sat down there was a burst of applause. Looking up we saw Helen Tuuri. She had just received the distinguished honor of being named chairman of the S.P.C.F.E. (Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Flowers in England). After a short visit with Helen we continued on to Paris, where we met Joyce Anderson, a famous model who was vacationing there. With her was Betty Bauder, a famous tobacco auctioneer. We ate lunch with them and then took off on the last log of our journey. Passing over Moscow, we were surprised to hear the voice of Peggy Walleen on the Voice of America . Peggy was a former Girls ' Stater and at present govern or of North Dakota. She was vigorously campaigning for the office of president on the No-Party ticket. Although the election was three years off, Peggy evidently wanted people to know she was a candidate. In no time at all we were over the Hawiian Islands where our visio-radio picked up a special broadcast of the Lyle Heitman vs. Joe Louis exhibition match. Lyle, now world ' s heavyweight boxing champ, had no trouble with the aging Louis. The roving television camera picked up Eleanore Christianson and her husband followed by six young ones. In her letters Eleanore had told us that she and her family, longing for the rustic pioneer life, had moved to a small log cabin in the Ozark Mountains in Arkansas. Landing in San Francisco we went to a movie, Wayne paying as Ella and I had nothing smaller than $10,000 bills. In a special film we saw pictures of Harris Voegeli, the first man to capture a flying saucer, being interviewed by Lawrence Kelly, a reporter for the New York Times. From San Francisco it was only a few minutes trip to Ellendale. Landing, we were met by more of our former school mates, Marion Magoon, Elinor Wedell, and Mickey Hermansen. Marion is owner of the Stork Club in New York, Elinor is the coach of Notre Dame ' s All American team, while Mickey is owner of the Big Ben Watch Co. Eating supper that night, we talked over old times and decided that no one can tell what a person will make of himself. As often as not, a person will end up doing something just opposite of what people expected him to do. Looking at our watches, we see it is time to leave, so paying our check, we traipsed off into the sunset. 1950 Ellendale High School Yearbook - Coleman Museum 2017
