.-.N Y , . I W E I fl.:-5: i. .,. 31- - fv'lU 'v.- . - - c if l Aboard the rocket vessel, I recognized the nearest passenger as Don Neal and we were soon deep in conversation. Don had become a prize fight promoter since he had left Highline and was doing well. He was going to France to see Bid Fitchett, the fa' mous billionaire maker of IMPERIAL RUTH cars. Have you any news of our old classmates, Don? I asked. Well, he answered, you know Bob Greenfield. He's married to Alba now. The next passenger introduced himself as Niel Harrett and joined our conversaf tion. And what are you doing for a living? I asked him. Oh, I'm a press agent for Douglas Bone, the movie actor. He's in France now. Married? I asked. Yes. You knew my wife back in school as Helen Muree Beck. The Sea Dragon had only six passengers aboard and within an hour we were all talking together. Harry Anderson was being sent to France by the navy electrical bureau. When we asked him if he knew anything about any of our old classmates, he said: Well, Allan Benson borrowed some electrical equipment from our department recently for his experiments. He's an atomic investigator. The next gentleman to join our group was the tight rope specialist, Arthur Robin' son. He told us about two of our former classmates, Gilbert Parker and George Strib- ling. Gilbert was in Washington, D. C., heading a commission from California to urge Congress to pass an antiftobacco law. George Stribling had done very well for himself by marrying an heiress. The only remaining passenger, who we later discovered was the wife of a New York senator, joined us on hearing the name Highline. It was Kelly Swyney. She told us about some of the members of our high school class. Marion Case had gone to the South Seas and started THE WOMEN'S INDEPENDENCE UNION-HNO MEN ALLOWED. Syl Fulwiler, a reporter for the NEW YORK INTERNATIONAL RADIOfBEAM NEWS, tried for three months to get on the island. Finally the own' ers of the RADIO-BEAM NEWS, Louise Foster and Evelyn Grasely, called in Newton Thompson, and offered him a fortune for a story. But even Newty couldn't get on the island. It was eightfthirty. In an hour we should reach France. But because of an accident it was necessary to land as soon as possible to prevent an explosion. We came to rest in a meadow in western Scotland. A small crowd quickly gathered. They, as well as we,' were greatly amused by Read I'Iayden's dashing out from the cook-room, crying, Oh, my beautiful cake! It's simply ruined! The assistant pilot, who we later learned was Irvin Cobb, comforted Read as best could. Bud Eckman, the chief pilot and ca tain, informed us that a plane had been radioed for. We went outside and were soon joined by the crew of the Sea Dragon. There were Harold Hyatt, the television operator, Allan Myhre, the chief engineerg and Rudolf johnson, the assistant engineer. I recognized john MacKinnon among the crowd looking at our wrecked rocket. We dashed over to see him. He was a sheep raiser but never got ahead because he spent all his money buying chewing gum for him' self and his family. Charlotte Albright was his wife, by the way. At that moment the helicopter from Edinburgh arrived. The pilot was George St. john. Going through the customs in London I got to talking to the chief inspector, who turned out to be Pete Larson. Norton Smallwood was his assistant and did all the, work. At the hotel I met Jeanne Durham and Rosemary Looney, who were in London to attend a convention of the WOMEN'S INTERNATIONAL SOCIETY FOR THE PREVENTION OF WAR. They persuaded me to go to the first meeting with l TWEN1-Yfsix

Glass 'Prophecy May 25, 1950. Dear Diary: I've had the longest and most exciting day! And I've met more pcof ple that I used to know in high school. It started this way--Yes, it was about twenty' four hours ago, back in Hollywood. I caught a TransfAmerican rocket plane for New York and settled down to read. There was only one other passenger on board, a slender, goodflooking chap with black hair. ln a few seconds I recognized him as Samuel William Bassett, the world's greatest violinist! Do you remember me? I asked. He looked at me carefully. I saw your latest picture-what was the name? be No, I didn't mean that, I interrupted, I went to Highline with you. Remem' r? Why, Marge! he exclaimed, and then did we talk! When the steward brought our breakfast, Sammy asked genially, What's your name, my boy? Edelbert Yeager, he answered respectfully. Edelbert informed us that our old schoolmate Hal Robb was the chief pilot of our rocket ship. And surprises of surprises! Ronald Picket was the assistant pilot and Lloyd Wil' liams was the visualfaudio apparatus operator-television operator to you. We talked for quite awhile and I found out that Lloyd was married to Bessie Peck and that Sammy Bassett had studied in Berlin and Vienna and that Hal and Ronald were also married. I noticed a tall fellow in the uniform of an army air pilot intently watching the meters and dials on the instrument board. It was Roy Lamoureaux. Do you still go with Doris, Roy? I asked mischievously. Go with her! he exclaimed. Why, we're married. Living in Denver, now. just then the television set buzzed shrilly and as Lloyd manipulated the dials Bill Gilbert's face appeared on the screen plate. Pilot Robb, he snapped, you're two degrees off your course and three miles below your limit of rarefactionf' Who's he to give you orders? I asked Hal after he had brought the ship back on its course. Chief Trans'American plane dispatcher for the western sector. Pretty busy man, answered Hal. Did you know that Bill's sister, Esther, won the Nobel prize for the best novel last year? asked Roy. just then a greasy individual climbed up the ladder from the rocketftube room. May I present Ralph Karlson? Roy grinned. It was six in the morning when we reached New York and I was hungry again. So I took an automatic tube to the Terminal Building, and a speed elevator to a res' taurant on the six hundredth floor that Hal had recommended. The pretty waitress, who turned out to be Jerry Hawley, served me. May Savage owned the restaurant and Larry Legas was the head cook. We would have had a nice talk but I had to hurry to catch an air rocket for France. When I got to the passport office I discovered that Maurice Poynts was head clerk with Geraldine Reeploeg as his secretary. TWENTY'FIVE I

lif .. l,,,,i V .:,,,: ' ,-l' Mll My .e - . H them. I was introduced to some of the delegates and a lot of them were from Highline. There were Helen Borgcrt, a delegate from Washiiigtcmiig Aileen Campbell, from New jerseyp Esther Crumb, from Oregon, and Maxine Kyle, from New York. Taking an underfchannel tube to Paris, I went to the International Building to meet my director. I knew johnny would bawl me out for being late. But he was in a conference and couldn't be seen, so I went to the Bedord Club to hear Roy Frew's famous orchestra. I got a table near Roy and watched my chance to speak to him. Hello, Roy, I said. He recognized me immediately. Seen Peggy lately? I asked casually. Before he could answer the lady at the next table spoke up. Pardon me, but Peggy Persons is in' Berlin. She has a studio there. I'm Dot Harbison. Remember me? And this is Katherine Kobervig, who will soon become the Countess da Villconeol? In the talk that followed, I discovered that Peggy Huff was a famous landscape artist in Vienna and that Marie Harrison was secretary to the president of France. I was informed that Johnny Castle had left for Berlin and expected me to follow him there. Arriving in Berlin, I was nearly run down by a big IMPERIAL RUTH. The chauffeur, who was strangely enough Gilbert Lobdell, stopped the car and I recognized Dick Mansfield who had become a millionaire as a sausage manufacturer. Come, let us go to mine house, said Dick, taking my arm. There I met his wife, Dorothy McGill, and learned that the butler and cook were old Highline grads, George Pearce, and Katherine Pearsall, respectively. I was back in Berlin at eight to learn that johnny had gone to Vienna. A hired mono-rocket landed me in Vienna shortly and I decided to visit Mildred Henrichsen, the famous dress designer, and her business manager, Bernadette McMahon. Dette was just stepping out so I went with her to some night club. The proprietor was none other than Mary Frances Meenach. Her sergeantsfat-arms were my old pals, Bob Yarno and Ed Berg. While there I learned that Russell O'Dell is a billionaire munitions maker, and that Mel Robbins and Marijane Bird are married and are in vaudeville with Catherine Baker writing all their script. At ten I left to find Johnny. In the directory office I met Rit Powell, who was going to a party at the home' of the Duchess daCillione, formerly Nela Savin. I went with him and met other Highline grads, among whom was Aleda Peterson, a famous brain surgeon who had just fixed up Elmer Stanford. By the way, Max Sayre is the leading brain specialist in Europe. Louvain Todhunter, a wealthy authoress, was there with Fred Tronson. I met Emily Nishimura, who was gathering material for a book she is writing. She told me that Harriet Norberg had married a communist and that Cynthia Morris is the president of some society of Technocrats. Ch, yes, Earl Peterson was there, just as bashful as ever. He is the head coach at Notre Dame now, and John Schertzer is his star quarterback. Bill Robbins, another Highline grad, is also playing on the team. My attention was turned to Jack Thurber, international shoe manufacf turer, and Bernice Sengebush, famous parachute jumper, teasing Victor Carlson, the astronomer, about his necktie. p Franklin Dale, writer of operas, and three of his leads were also there. I hardly recognized them as Gail Cobb, Lorraine Donalson, and Harmony Ester. And so here I am, diary, at Nela's house in Vienna, writing up all my experiences of the day. I wonder if I'm ever going to catch up with Johnny. , TWENTY-SEVEN I
