Senior Prophecy, continued iionable restaurants for lunch. They sat down at a table, close to a woman who apparently had oodles of money. They lunched and when they arose to leave, Mr. Forbes accidently bumped her, almost knocking her hat off her head. She jumped to her feet a bit disgusted, then lookedi at him with a knowing glance and said, Aren't you Ray Forbes? Surprised and little bewildered, Mr. Forbes replied, Why yes, I am. She introduced herself as the former Marilyn Hitchings, also a graduate of 1951. Marilyn asked them out to her villa and informed them she had married a Texas oil magnate. Mr. and Mrs. Forbes arose early the next morning to continue home- ward for they were getting lonesome for their children. Time was also drawing ,near for Professor Forbes to prepare for the next school year. They were glad to sec the graduates of 1951 so successful in their varied occupations.

Senior Prophecy, continued was very much amused because she knew who the tall, black-haired woman was. After Mrs. Chitty had given her all the French lingo de- signed to go with her trade, Mrs. Forbes introduced herself and her hus- band and complimented Mrs. Chitty for speaking French so fluently. In France they boarded the Pan-American Airways which was to take them to Hawaii. They noticed the attractive stewardess with laughing brown eyes who later came, over to them, told them she was Dorothy Ste- venson and explained th-ey had been her former teachers. They remem- bered and it took their minds away from the flight. Dorothy made them as comfortable as possible and told them that her schedule took her from Hawaii to France, where: she had a d-ay of rest, then took her back to Ha- waii where she had three days of leisure to spend as she pleased. Time ,passed very quickly and it was soon announced they were to land, within ten minutes. They extended Dorothy their best wishes as they left the air field, then drove to the city where they checked in at the Royal Ha- waiian. They were greeted at the desk by the owner who claimed the name of Richard Smith. This was also a fellow who had attended, Fernald High!!! Mrs. Forbes teased Dick and asked him if he still slept on buttons to pre- serve those dimples. Dick informed them that he had a rather shaky business here, namely, hula dancing, and didn't know when he might have to return to farming in the States. Dick gave them the nicest apartment in his hotel overlooking Wakiki Beach. After spending a week on Paradise Island, they took a plane to South America, stoppingtin Rio de Janeiro where they went touring and took in all the magnificent splendor! of the city. Late that evening they went strolling and sighted a large neon sign featuring, 'tDotty, the Latin. Queen of South America. Mr. and Mrs. Forbes decided they would like to hear some real Latin music, so they walked in. Dottie made her appearance in great Spanish fashion, and no wonder she was called ai queen! Mr. and Mrs. Forbes squinted and on closer observation found it to be Dorothy Dadisman, the girl who had livedl on a farm back in Iowa and who had been a graduate of Fernald with the class of 1951. They went backstage and reminisced about her past school days. Time was growing short but they wanted to stop in Mexico for a few days to see a Mexican bull fight. Eladio Gomez was given top billing on this particular bull fight and all the people were' talking of what brilliant .performances het gave. They found their seats among the natives and waited anxiously for the fight to begin. The matador made his appear- ance and the bull came charging ini Every movement of the matador, even to the turn' of the wrist, was so stylized that his performance resem- bled a dance. Aften many tense and exciting moments he was successful in killing the animal in the specified time. Mr. and Mrs. Forbes had pre- viously met the promoter of the fight and he had promised to introduce them to the matador after his performance. When introduced, they found him to be none other than Johnny Nelson, fighting under the name of Eladio Gomez. He said that he had two loves, bulls and money, but he added with a smile-mostly money. Traveling on to San Antonio, Texas, they went to see the Alamo, which is of historical significance and later went to one of themore fash- 17
