Bratton. He said he was running a machine which scraped up the gum from the floor. He also told me that since the recent discoveries in the realm of science made by Robert Ludlum it was now possible to make gum by a new process for one cent a package, hence the need for this gum scraper. I said good-bye to Howard and left the depot. Upon reaching the street I called a taxi. I entered the car and as I glanced at the driver, who should I see but Warren Watson. I told him of my intentions to try to find all the members of the Class of '30, He was very enthusiastic over this and offered to help. He said he knew many of them were in Chicago. We started down Wabash Avenue when suddenly a motorcycle cop drew up alongside us. We stopped, and I stepped out wondering why we had been held up. The officer walked over to us and started to hand Warren a ticket for speeding when I exclaimed, Augie l For sure enough it was August Miller. About that time a siren began to blow, and August dashed of to clear the street. As we again entered the taxi, Warren said, Well, I guess August has at last attained his ambition for speed. After driving around for some time we pulled into a gas station to renew our supply of gas. The man who filled our tank I recognized as Guy Shellady. While we were talking to him he informed us that we had a flat tire so we drove into the repair shop. While the tire was being repaired I walked around through the gar- age. I noticed a man directing some work on a large motor. Thinking his voice sounded familiar I came closer. Just then he turned around, and I recognized my old classmate, Chester Dugger. He told me he was the shop foreman and consequently very busy, so that he was unable to talk long with me. By that time the tire was repaired and just as we started to drive out, a nifty low hung and powerful roadster came to a stop in front of us. I recognized the lady at the wheel as Jean Coffield.

X532 SENIOR PROPI-IECY Here comes the Denver Limited, shouted the guard as an immense silver colored zeppelin came into view. In a few seconds the magnificient ship glided into the landing station. As the gang plank dropped into place I walked up into the liner through the door marked Entrance Just as I was entering the library I met a distinguished looking man dressed in a natty uniform. . Much to my surprise and delight I recognized Lester Winter. He immediately took me to his office where We talked over old times when we were enrolled in G. H. S. He pushed a button on the side of his desk and almost instantly a door opened and Oleta Silver entered the room. She was private secretary to the Captain. When we arrived in Denver I persuaded them to come to my hotel. While we were talking a bell boy announced that the hortel manager wish- ed to see us. I had no idea of the surprise in store for us as we were ushered into the lavishly decorated drawing room of the manager's suite. Norma Spoon, we exclaimed as a charming young lady advanced to meet us. She told us that she was the manager of the hotel and hadichanced to see us as we were passing through the lobby. Since this was Thursday we had the rest of the week off, thanks to the law establishing the four day laboring week which had been put through Congress by Senator Edward Allison and Representative Richard Pridham. We decided to go to the opening of the magnificient new Granada Theater. As we entered the rotunda an usher came forward. Who should it be but Mildred Jackson. She gave us the best seats in the house and said she would see us later. Much to our surprise we recognized our old classmate, Pat McEwen as the comedian of the play. He was certainly a scream, and it brought to my mind many of the happenings back in G. H. S. After the show, which we all enjoyed, we again met Mildred in company with two chorus girls. They looked strangely familiar, and no wonder for they were none other than Myriam Eddie and Fay Gosney. They had only enough time to say Hello since they had to get ready for i. X ' x 2 ' f . ., l .

As I was walk- ,pwn ,ZS ing through the crowded station I was rudely bumped by a strange look- asf fieig ing machine. It was being pushed along by a man dressed in a white uni- E g 1gvf1f,'h, no form closely resembling those worn by street cleaners.

I told her I was suffering from a tootache and wished to see Dr. Roe. She led me into the adjoining room and said , An- other patient, Dr. Roe. To my delight it was my old classmate, Dan Roe, in person. He speed- ily and painlessly stopped my toothache. Owing to the fact that he was veiy busy he had little time to talk with me. On emerging from his office who should I meet but James Hall. We talked for some time during which he infoi med me he was the program director and announcer for radio station W L S. I asked him if he knew of any more of our old classmates. He replied that Genevieve Richardson was the proprietor of a famous style shop. On entering the store I met Leo Jackson. He said that he had married, and his wife, a famous stage actress, was here buying her new spring wardrobe. Just then she approached and taking Leo by the arm, walked off. Poor Leo! He certainly had the appearance of a hen-pecked husband. The following day I took a plane for Spokane. When I arrived at the station I found the place in an uproar. Newsboys were shouting, All about the breaking up of Crime Ring. Becoming interested I purchased a paper. On the headlines were written in bold type, District Attorney Willis Breaks Up Gang. I wondered if it could be Emmet and determined to find out, I took a taxi for the city hall, and on arriving I asked to see the District Attorney. I was led into the office, and th.ere was James Willis. While we were talking over old times who should enter but Thurman Ward. He told me he was practicing law in Spokane. - As I was leaving the office I met Violet Miller. She was in a great hurry and had only time enough to say Hello. Thurman informed me she was a reporter for a local newspaper. Since I was so near my old home I decided to visit Goldendale. After arriving at the landing field I stopped at a hot dog stand and was furnished to a delicious hot dog by none other than Margaret Selle. In glancing over the sport news I noticed these headlines, Goldendale High Favored to Win, Coach Fred Lear Says Team in Best Condition. On the following page I read about the Pacific International Livestock Show in which the majority of prizes had been won by the stock owned by Raymond Ferguson, Klickitat County's leading livestock raiser. After reading The Sentinel, being interested in journalism myself, I decided to visit the editor of this up and coming newspaper On entering the editor's office I met Clara Wilkins. She told me that she had recently become the chief editor. Just at that moment a messenger entered the office and handed Clara a telegram. She read it and handed it to me. It was an Associated Press report stating that Miss Harriett Spalding had just been appointed private secretary to the President of the United States. if .. l , ,fi v!.r . ' l. .
