THE BENEDICTUS I Prophecq of Class of '28ff-Concludecl it be now? James told me thatiUna Jay studied to be a nurse and is now nursing in the navy. Then I made my way southward. While riding through the country I noticed a fine, large dairy farm and a sign reading, Michel's Dairy. I wondered if this was the Henry Michel I used to know and at the next station I was informed that it was Henry Michel and his wife Muriel Shelby. I didn't have time to pay them a visitiialthough I wanted to do so. While I was in Florida I soon found that Joseph Laib was a very successful real estate agznt. Joe took me to his home and there was his wife, Marjorie Stone, all smiles. It sure seemed good to see Marjorie again. joe and Marj like the sunny south fine. I had to be on my way so I just spent a few days with Joe and Marjorie and then left for the west. I stopped off in Denver, Colorado, and the first thing that caught my. eye was a large sign reading as follows, Come I-lear The Great Mr. Lewis Lec- ture on Prohibition. Could this be Floyd Lewis? I attended the lecture and sure enough it was. I could hardly imagine Floyd as a lecturer but he certainly is good. He loves his work and he seemed very glad to see me. Then I went to I-Iollywood, California. The first person I met was Dorothy Mc- Kean. I couldn't believe my eyes. My, how Dorothy has changed. She is now an actress and her stage name is Dixie Trevis. Dorothy and I had lunch together and she told me that Luetta Singleton had married some sailor boy and was living some- where in California. Nobody ever hears from Geraldine Slinger but Dorothy says that she is at home on the Carter farm west of Ft. Branch. The summer was about ended and I had to get back to my work. But I never will forget that summer of travel which brought back all those happy days which we spent together in Ft. Branch High School. ' i . MAXINE YEAGER N, I Page Sixteen -4 .V Rv. ,
