f- ' ZXNQA Q so Lyn F,ff?4UZQ Mr. Frank Vyzralek ..5.. On my journey through Rhode Island, I met Leonard Preslicka who is now a famous tobacco buyer for the Ameri- can Tobacco Co. While I was lunching in Rhode Island I happened to pick up the New York Times and read of the fa- mous spinsters home in Quebec, Canada. I decided this was a special point of interest which I must not miss. And guess who was the head of it Betty Johnson, with Arliss Nelson as her right-hand helper. Going through Canada at Alaska, I found Bryce Haskett the head chemist in the DuPont laboratories. ' After leaving Alaska I decided to drive over to Asia. However, I could not drive over the Bering Strait because there happened to be water in it, so I had my over. While I was traveling through Siberia, fronted by a very persistant salesman--almost tant--trying to sell me not recognize him but upon asking his name I car shipped I was 'con- too persis- flrst I did found out an iglo to live in, At that it was Vernon Ellwanger in person. He complained a- bout business being poor. I advised him to go to Alaska where his igloes wouldn't melt faster than he built them. My next stop was in Japan. By this time my car was beginning to attract quite a bit of attention from the Jas panese. I even had the pleasure of giving a few of the Japs a ride. I enjoyed it for a while but decided it was not so much fun after all when all the little Japs got a- round my car and insisted on a ride--at least I think that is what they were tryingrto tell me. While I was enjoying wonders of this land I met Odetta Hurlbert. She was a salesman for the American Beauty Company,selling hair cur- lers to the women. That explained the awful looking hair dresses of the Jap women which I couldn't quite at zftrst figure out. I found a very discouraged Elma Voos in Peking,China.

Just as I got off the train in New Orleans, I was confronted by a--oh, you know, one of those guys that poke a gun at you and says, NSt1ck 'em up.u I laughed'and started to walk past him when suddenly I happened to notice his hair. Upon a second glance I recognized him to be Graydon Vakiner. He later told me that he was a man of leisure acting as a second nLady Li- lacn gangster during his spare time. I decided that the play he was in when he was a Senior must have had a bad effect on him and advised him that he was in America and would profit by finding a better past-time. Driving through Toonerville, Kentucky, I met Allen Rajewich. He informed me that he was now manufacturing pretzels. Thelma Leslie's dream has come true. She is a school teacher in the Ozarks. -may to .New York, I decided-I dhght' to have a radio in the new Ford my great grandfather so generously gave me so I stopped in Cincinnati and to my great sur- prise I found Phil Haskett the head of the Philco Radio Corporation. As I left Cincinnatti I found my car sputtering and balking. I was so disgusted that I decided to go to De- troit and tell Mr. Ford what I thought of his car. As I ,drove into Detroit, I saw bills posted everywhere announ- cing the biggest of big fights ----- Joe Louis V. S. George Drapeaux. After a debate with Mr. Ford upon the efficiency of Fords, I decided to go on. By the way I neglected to mention that this said Mr. Ford was no longer Henry Ford but one of my colleague debaters, Hadley Ford. Deesn'ttime change people? Unfortunately I lost my way and landed in Nelsonville, Ga. instead of New York. By this time, I was rather hungry so I decided to'step in the NMan Hater's Night G1ub.u I found Julia Petrik as a waitress in this famous club. She told me that Sylvia Dvorak was employed as her maid. Continuing on my journey I finally landed in New York. I found Helen O'Neill all wrapped up in the New York Times. I complimented her on her advancement from the Gorilla Growls. I found LaVern Kortan, the All-American football champ of Harvard U. preparing for his best and last game of the season.
