POP QC? Dear Diary, The date is June 1, 1965. I have just begun my search for a two-head- ed, left handed 'G1llahooper', a very rare insect. I was bitten by one on graduation night in 1951 and ever since have been seeking the 0PP01'tWlilFy to bite one back! I have just set sail from the thriving sea-port, False iBay, for the Hawaiian Islands on the Emily Jane, a popular yacht. June l2...le arrived in the Hawaiian Islands and the next day I began my search for the bug. Hacking my way through the dense jungle, I arrived at a native village, and upon inquiring my'whereabouts, I was informed in their native tongue, 'Bala polooka-ooka' that I was in the province of Soh- lagoo'. The chief of this small village I discovered, was none other than my classmate, Charlie Schlag, who was now married to a hula dancer. Find- ing my search for the 'Gillahooper' in vain, I sailed westward to Paducah Egypt, for it was reported the insect had been seen in this vicinity. August l3...Anchoring the Emily Jane at the head of the Nile I set off across the desert to Paducha. In the dimly lighted lounge of the 'Dew Drop Inn', I heard the old familiar notes of 'Show Me The Way to Go Home',1rh11, behind me someone was softly humming the tune. Glancing around I saw a bearded, distinguished-looking gentleman, and upon observing him more closely, I recognized him as one of the old group, Don Lowe. At the same time he must have recognized me, for he came over to my table and we talked over old times. Bb told me he'was here investigating the disappearance of the mummy of Queen Osel-a-man-deb, who was mistakenly shipped back to Egypt after our class play. I mentioned to Don how strange it was the piano player happened to be playing one of our favorite songs, and he told me the melancholy pianist was Gary Ullerick, who had come to Egypt in hopes of forgetting his loved one, Toddy Duffy. The story goes that on the day be- fore their marriage, Toddy eloped with her former suitor, Jim Nash, leaving Gary heartbroken and unconsolable. I told Don of my search for the 'Gill- ahooper', and he informed me that he had heard of one being seen in Hbscow, theypresent home of Tcddy and Jim. ' August 25...Set sail this morning for Russia. Hitting some bad weath- er we got a little off our course and landed on the island of Sicily. As long as I was here I decided to make a tour of the island. A big engineer- ing project was just being started on the island, the building of an under- water tunnel to Italy. I heard rumors while in the U. S. that a WDNHB was to be chief engineer of the project, but was utterly amazed to find Marilyn Gresli was the woman. I stopped at her office and asked to see her but her secretary-said an appointment must be made at least a month in ad- vance. The secretary told me that after Marilyn had completed the tunnel she was givin up her'brilliantpareer to return home and marry a highschool Sweetheart. Terry Jacksonl August 28...s-gap-ted again for Russia . Took a plane to Moscow after leaving the yacht at the Black Sea. Found Jim Nash operating a profitable hamburger stand with his wife and seven children. I knew it was his at first sight for a large neon sign readfin both English and Russianl 'Jim and Toddy's Hamburger Shack--Come on in and have a Snackl' Jim todd me that he had come to Moscow at the request of Joe Stalin who was crazy about hamburgers, and wished to introduce them to his people. Two months after Jim's hamburger stand opened, the U.S. and Russia signed a permanent peace pact. Jim also told me that Admiral Hugh Roberts was one of the signers of this treaty. Hugh was very successful in the Navy, raising to the rank of admiral in three years. While glancing at a U.S. paper Jim had, I read where Hugh was dating Margaret Tru an. Oh well, Hugh always did like older women.

November 3O...Left Mbscow after a futile search for the 'Gillahooper'. I boarded the Emily Jane at London I attended the opening for the first time. The star was publicized as being Sonia star gracefully skated out on one of my fellow graduates in the Black Sea and set sail for England. In of -the Ice Follies, which had come to Europe of the follies was a girl named 'Marlo', who Henies's rival. As the attractive red headed the ice, I recognized her as Marlene Johnson, '5l. January 9...Discouraged by my vain search and lonesome for my friends back in the States, I started home. Whom I reached New York, I yielded to my weakness for exclusive women's shops and stopped at one on Fifth Avenue. Evidently they were having a sale, but it was so crowded I could not get near the counter to see what everyone was buying. I asked the sales lady who said they were selling the new 'Gallanger Girdle'. This girdle, she continued, was the result of ten years experimentation by a man named Henry Gallanger, and was becoming more and more popular everyday. Of all the things I had learned about my former class-mates, this surprised me most. February 2l...Decided to take the train home. While looking for some- thing ,to read, on the trip, I noticed a book entitled, 'ly Dad Was Town larshall', by Eunice Kru diack. I picked up the bggk to ,ee if this gouid possibly have been written by the former Harborite, Eu ice Hammond, and strange as it may seem it was., I immediately bought the book and laughed continually while reading the hu crous stor . February 22...Stopped in Chicago to vfh1t'my classmate, Marilyn King, with whom I have been in contact. She is the president of the new 'Zing King Company',.which is experimenting in the use of a new type of noodle for chop suey. She was placing some noodles in test tube, when she noticed a skeleton of a bug in it. I examined it closely and found it was a dicarded skin of a two-headed, left handed, 'Gillahocper'. I asked Marilyn is she had ever seen a fCillahooper' in Chicago, but she said she hadnft. Being very discouraged and down hearted after finding my search absoluteli worthless, I left Chicago and headed home. larch 7...Arrived in Seattle in time to see the final games of the State 'B' tourmam nt. It just so happened that Friday Harbor played the other winner from the same district, Granite Falls, in the final game to see who would place first in the state. CStars on Friday Harbor's basket- ball team,.Perry Sandwith, Craig Scribner, and Robbie Browne, put on a bea- utiful exhibition of basketball by beating Granite Falls 59-571 Dave Phifer has sure done a marvelous job of coaching these boys since ed five years ago. They have won the district championship four he start- years and placed high in state for three years. This was the first time they'had wan the state championship however, and the eight hundred spectators who atten- ded from Friday Harbor were wild with excitement. lhen I returned to my hotel room I turned on the radio. The program I was listening to was interrupted to bring a special broadcast to the listeners. 'Friday Harbor woman gives birth to sextuplets. Irs. Gwen Sohmola is doing fine after giving birth to five boys and one girl about fifteen minutes ago. All of the babies weighed at least three pounds at birth. This is the first authentic record of sextuplets in medical history. I will have more to report later'. Instantly I knew that this was my old classmate Gwen'lorkman, whose name would now be known all over the world. ' larch l9...Took the beautiful trip from Seattle to Waldron Island by water, where I popular resort. Chevalier, Jr. 4 we,talked over planned to spend several weeks at the 'Isle of Leisure', a When'I reached the island, I found the proprietor, ldlllam greeting the new arrivals. When he had a minute to spare, old times and he told me gbgut his resort. He won fifty
