at v;hat I had witnessed the last several months. It’s funny hov; one ' s classmates turn up all over this globe of ours in places one would never expect them to be. My journey now had ended, and I had many pleasant memories to scan over in my mind when I had nothing to do but to daydream. I was certainly glad to know so many members of the Class of 194-2 ' had f unfilled the ambitions of their youth. Donald L.

the platform, Ursula v ent out too door, end r-he aixdiGn ' jo ouS the exits i After the fire department naii. put out; the fnre. 1 asked her what the dickens she mixed,. £ho reolied, never did know what was in that bottle so I thought I v ould try it and see what would happen. Things happened all right. That evening, out of curiosity, .e visited one of the hospitals in the city and bumped into Doris Tnie. dho v as night nurse and was walking the floor to keep one Of the babies from engaging in the sport of lung expansion. Just when she thought the baby was asleep, it bellowed forth again and made so much noise that several other babies started up inside the maternity ward, V e left Doris to her job of quieting down the tumult. The next day, as I vralked past a large business building, a fa- miliar name glared from a sign over ' the door,. ' I walked in noncha- lantly and came into the outer office. Uho should be the clerk at the desk but Emily Vifetson. At that i-oment, a man came out of the office door and spoke to Emily. Very well, Mr, Day, she said and proceeded to look in the fjlos for a few letters, Emily had now be- come a filing clerk in Day ' s Supply Co, and was doing all right. Next day, Mr. Future and I set out on the last leg of our jour- ney, We headed for dear old Ha]:ilton. As we v ent past the High School, we could see that the buildjng had been greatly enlarged. Before I went home, I thought I would proceed to the town which had grown into a busy little shopping district. The sign above a store door, McRae Marks, Newsdealers, interested me so I v ent in and there they were — the same tvro smiling faces that used to greet me years ago when I went in for the evening paper. McRae in the corner doing a little bit of ever thing, and Robert right out there in front dishing out the goods. After Robert tried to sell ' me every- thing in the store, we left. On the following day, we looked over the old town to see what changes had been made. First we v ent to the Town Hall. Evidently the old place must have had some v7ork done on it. We met Betty Dodge at the hall and learned that she had married one of the army boys that were there before the war, and she and her husband were now living on his retirement pension. From there, we went to see if Myopia was still surviving. We j v;ere quite surprised to find that Jock Wallace v as the head golf instructor. Ho had taught quite a few v ealthy people tho art of playing golf, I don ' t seem to remember him as much of a golf player in his boyhood days when , he used to caddy there ;he must have improved immense- Mlyl He told me of a now idea that he had. After he l had teed his ball on the first tee, his caddy I would dash ahead and put a magnet in tho hole. When i his ball approached the green, it was drawn tovlard the hole. Well that ' s one way to v in anjw ay. After several days rest in Hamilton, I returned to my college again where Mr. Future and I said good- ; bye and separated, I stood there for a moment, daze3
