ULASS PRUPIIEUY As I get ready to climb into my bed, I wonder what I and all my classmates will be doing 10 or 15 years from now. Ho-hum, I sure am tired, I think, as I go off to sleep. Hey, what's this? Here I am flying through the air in a funny contraption that resembles an airplane. Why there's another one just passing me and another one! The sky is full of them. I think perhaps I am dreaming, but just then a girl in a long skirt taps me on the shoulder. I find out to my amazement, that she is none other than Anna Neidhardt, the air hostess and that I am personally being conducted all over the world so that I might see all of the places where my classmates are. My trip is being sponsored by Dick Perkins, who is now the President of the United States. His bodyguard, I am told, is none other than that well-known man about town, Bill Cleland. Soon, we are passing over Hicabilly, Utah. I hear that Dortie Ames and Theresa Wonderly own a dude ranch here, and have Gene Brown and Bob Bailey employed as ranch hands. Next, we are flying over Poncho, Wyoming and I see on my list that Ora Miller is the president of that well-known club called the 'fSnooker Fan Club . I also see that jack Brown holds a prominent office in the club, being the treasurer. We fly on again. Soon we are passing over the great navy base of Whamasham, Kansas. Three of my old classmates are in training here. You are right, they are Deloy Preston, Stanley Huntsinger, and Bill Handy. Next, we come to Picadilly, Missouri. I look on my list and see that Alice jones and Juanita Banks are employed at Jack Panico's yo-yo factory. Alice makes the yo- yos and Juanita attaches the strings. We fly on, and the next town is Ping-Pong, Illinois. I see on my list that Pat Schooley has done much in the educational field by building a special school for poor immigrants. Employed at Schooley's School are Plank Hetz, teaching the gym classes, Virginia Nelson, teaching commercial subjects, Dave Miller, teaching chemistry and biology, Doris Winn, teaching dramatics, Willagene Manon, teaching Latin and English, Elinor Kallsen, teaching art, and Albert Zuber, teaching history. We fly over low and just catch a part of Cheer, Cheer for old Ping-Pong I-Iigh'. Next we come to Ouch, Indiana, in which Mr. and Mrs. Pete Pearson own a small chicken farm. When asked why they bought a chicken farm, Betty remarked that they wished to carry on the tradition of The Egg and I . Going on, we are soon flying over good old Hicksville, Ohio. I see that several of my classmates have preferred H to any other place. We see that Seth Scott and Allen Yarger own and operate the Scott-Yarger Dairy. Their milk, I am told, is absolutely the best anywhere since Mervin Volkert, the well-known scientific farm- er, has developed a new germ killer which he has sold to them exclusively to use in their milk. We also see the Red Pastry Shoppe owned entirely by Red Daniels. Then we see that Leon Thiel has started a theater of his own in Hicksville. He has LaRayne Timebrook employed as ticket seller and Dorty Beerbower as ticket taker. After checking Hicksville off my list, we are again on our way and the next stop is none other than New York City. We see here that famous, well-known, social work- er Io Anne Cromwell has started a special organization for women only. Their motto is What Good are Men? We'll Take A Good Horse Any Day. After checking Io off my list, we make a landing at Finnegan, Maine, to refuel before making our round-the-world voyage. We are very surprised tq see Duayne Kennedy and Arnold Phillips employed as mechanics. They refuel our plane, and we proceed across the Atlantic feeling much safer after such superior workmanship on our plane. Pg: YUM!!!-Fl

A few hours later we reach Paris, and Whose picture should we find on all the billboards but Pat Wyckoff's. There's one we can see from our airplane. Let,s see now, it reads- Why Koff? Use our new Sasaprillo Extract. -We decide we must try some sometime, as it must be good if Pat is advertising it. Next we are flying over Arabia. We see on our list that Eloise Voght is starting a new revolutionary movement here. She is teaching the Arabs the intoxicating ways and customs of the United States. Soon after, we are flying over No Chow, China. Here we find Gene Gloor and Floyd Kimple owning a small Chinese restaurant, and who should they have selling their chop suey but Ruth Lantz and Lela.h Beverly. We decide we have spent enough time in the Orient, so we start on our long flight back to the United States. We stop at Tapooka, Hawaii to refuel before flying on home. Believe it or not, we see Mary Ann Morton teaching the natives the Hawaiian War Chant, American style. We then continue our long flight home, and reach the United States in a surpris- ingly short time. I see on my list that there is just one more stop. We circle on up to Lemon, Canada, where Imogene Hinsch is training to be a mounted policeman- pardon me, a mounted policewoman. At last I can breathe a sigh of relief, as everyone is safely checked off my list. I then start back for Washington to carry my report to Dick. Oh-what,s happening? The plane is falling! It's crashing! Ouch, my head! What's this? I,ve fallen out of bed! Then it was all a dream after all. Well anyway it was a lot of fun. ' iby Marie Crouse Page Twenty-six
