Cifass .qbrop ecy We were still rejoicing over our meeting when the plane began to nose- dive into what seemed to be a very much inhabited land. But the strange thing about the people was that they were all women. Erma told us this was Arabia. We had not been in this territory long when a woman came with a message that His Highness the Sultan wished our presence in the harem. Much to our sur- prise His Highness was none other than our handsome Romeo, Donald Dunn. Strange that none of the harem consisted of classmates. March 7- Harold soon had the plane repaired and we were off for home. Out of curiosity I asked Erma where the rest ofthe class of '39 was. She replied that Jean Roberts was married to that heavywegiht boxer Eugene Vaughn and they were living down in good old Missouri on a farm. And Max, poor Maxie, was an old ladies adviser in the psycapathic ward of the old ladies home in Missouri. Just at this tinie we landed in the airport in San Francisco. Here we bade goodbye to Erma and Harold and left by train to end our journey in Chicago. March 10- Arrived in Chicago today after spending some time in the old home town. While in Humeston we inquired about that quiet little girl that we remembered as Madyline Kipper. The fellow we asked said she was no longer a Kipper, but Mrs. Schecter and as we peered closely at the speaker we saw it was no other than Dean Blackman. He informed us that he was leader of one of Americais famous orchestras. We also found that Erma Greer has taken the position of Principal of Humeston High and is teaching the offspring of the towns most prominent citizens. And so what started out to be a purely business trip brought back many memories and interesting news about our old classmates. -Eileen
