i Revelations HE NEVV YEAR of 1946 had been ushered in with a snow storm. On this, the third day of the year, the wind was still raging, although the snow had ceased falling. Darkness had fallen early over Elma, which had now grown to a city of large size. As I sat musing before the fireplace in the darkened room I thought about my two years' tour of the world. Suddenly I remembered that I had kept a diary during my travels. That was just the thing to read on such a night as this- Where had I put it? Of course, it was in my traveling trunk. I get my diary and settled before the fire for an imaginary tour of the places I had visited during the two preceding years. I turned to the section I had written during my tour of the United States and then read on, going from continent to continent. How familiar some of the names of the people I had met seemed. Why, they were old classmates. I soon found that all the old class of twenty-three of the Elma High School were accounted for. As I read on this is what I found: I left Seattle 10:30 for Spokane, reached Maywood, the first stop, at 3 :00 p. m. Who should enter the train, no one but Homer Mouncer- Ile recog- nized me and sat down and began to talk. I soon learned that he owned a large wheat ranch in the Great Bend country. He got off at the next station. May 7, 1943. Reached Spokane this evening about 9:45. Being tired I went to secure a lodging place for the night- I selected the Washington Ilo- tel, the best in the city. Who should I see in the lobby but Rollin Gordon, now a- traveling salesman for the United States Tire -Co. May 8, 1943. Nothing happened of any interest only the tiresome train. May 11, 1943. I reached Salt Lake City- Would I meet any of my old seho-olmates here? There was a big entertainment at the Tabernacle this aft- ernoon. Anxious to see the large assembly hall I went. The program con- sisted of classical singing and dancing, very interesting. ,Was that Leona Walker dancing? Asking the woman who sat beside me I found out sure enough it was. My train left at 5:35, so I did not have time to talk to her- June 3, 1943. It is a long time since I have written in you, old diaryf, but nothing much has happened until today. I arrived in Austin, Texas, this morning. and who should I see when I stepped off the train-no other than Bill VVelch. Oh, yes! he is married and owns a large cattle ranch now, but I don't know who the lucky UU woman is. June 6, 1943. Well, I reached New Orleans just in time to go to the great carnival of the Mardi Gras- This is the biggest event. of the year, Here I find two more schoolmates who have become successful in business. Leland Lan- caster and Laura Robinson. Leland owns the largest cotton factory in the world. I also learned from Leland that Lyle is married and now editor-in- chief of the New York Ilerald. Laura is private secretary to Mr. J. H- Gas- ton, who has a large lumber mill here. I thought Laura had enough of the lumber business in English, but I guess she didn 't. June 19, 1943. I made a short stay in Birmingham, Alabama- I noticed in a newspaper where a large irrigation project is being built in South Af- rica- The contractor is Harold Schamehorn and the engineer is M. B, Jones.
