Q S 'I r -9 Y I 1 9 2 9 A DIAIQY OF A TRIP AROIJND THE WORLD BY AIR I LEFT Buffalo on the Pacific Coast Air Line for Seattle. To my surprise, my old classmate, Harold Corpe, was chief pilot. My plane was four minutes late and the Hula Special out of Seattle for Hawaii will only wait two minutes for an over time plane, so I had to spend the day in Seattle. I visited the University of Washington and renewed acquaintance with Dr. Elma Owen, who is Dean of Women and Professor of American History there. Later in the day, I encountered our old coach and history teacher, J. R. Strother, who is now the head Ping Pong coach in a girls' academy near Seatt e. Tuesday, January 16, 1950. I arrived safely in Hawaii after a slow trip. I stopped at the Beechside Inn, which is run by Anna Mae Sheridan. Hawaii certainly must be the land of wonders, for Anna has certainly put on the avoirdupois. After supper I 'went 'to 'the South Sea Follies where Lorena Atkinson is the charming leader of the Hula dancers. And I will say she had a wicked shimmy. I also received an invitation from Professor John Brock to visit his laboratory on top of Mount Kilauea, where he is diagnosing the cause of volcanic eruptions, but time did not permit me to visit it. I also had no desire to visit a volcano or its crater. Wednesday, January 17, 1950. I left Hawaii at 6:23 A. M. on the Imperial Air Coach for Shanghai. We landed safely at Opium field after a smooth trip at good speed. There was two hours be- tween planes, so I took a rickshaw out to the capital and saw Ambassador Max Hughes. I might add that he had Doris Davis along for a private secretary. I left at 10:15 on the overnight plane for Bombay. Thursday, January 18, 1950.. ' The plane arrived at Bombay early in the morning but on account of the 'weather prevailing we had to stop over a day. I was pleasantly surprised upon stepping into the telegraph office to find Ruth Freese chief operator. We had a good chat and ended by going to lunch together. After Ruth went back to work, I strolled down the street and was nearly floored when I saw our own little Lois Harrison charming snakes on the market street. She was disguised, and the natives thought she was a real witch, so I didn't cramp her style by rushing up and saying something 'to her. Friday, January 19, 1950. ' The plane left at 7:32 in the evening for Cairo, Egypt. About midnight one of the motors started missing badly and we were forced down at Bagdad. Chief Pilot August Chabot could not take off until iviechanic Mervin Buckingham had replaced a blown cylinder head gasket. This took quite a while, so following the maxim while in Bagdad do as the Bagdaddies do, I set out to see the city. As I was passing an opium shop I spotted Miss Smith conversing in Arabic with a customer. We finally started and arrived- in Cairo late the next morning and I just had time to step into a coffee shop for a bite to eat between planes. Of course I could have eaten on the Plane, but 1 thought I would eat a meal on. terra firma., Edna Kitchell was hostess at the shop and showed me to a table. Bessie Finley, who was the waiter of this table, got my lunch to me in a hurry so I easily caught the plane for Rome. Oh! I almost :forgot Oma Taylor was the cashier at the cafe and she had the nerve to short change me. Saturday, January 20, 1950. l arrived in Rome late yesterday for a two days stop. On passing through the art galleries I notices pictures displayed by John Quick and several nifty statues that were sculptured by Ernest Young, so I looked them up at their studios. I might whisper confidentially Eva Greub is John's star model. Sunday, January 21, 1950., I was up bright and early and went out to Caesar field to take the Bonepart Air Express for Paris. I met another of the class of '29 when I bought my ticket for Paris. It was none other than Catherine Butler, the ticket agent. THIRTY

After practice, I had a nice visit with him and Kenneth DeVorss, who composed all the pieces played by George's orchestra. They gave me the address of a good restaurant and show. I dropped into the restaurant and found that Paul Jones was the chief chef and Harlow Freeman was head waiter, The food was disgusting, but Paul says the French think he is a wonder. Later I went to a show and you can imagine my surprise when I saw Thelma Bradley, Elda Gilbert and Thelma Lupton in the leading follies of Paris, but then you could have expected it! Tuesday, January 23, 1950. I took a short trip up to Berlin, where Ralph Rand is running a beer garden. Ralph was looking fine and sent his regards to our English teacher, Mrs. Muir, who is still teaching, From here I took a circle up through Denmark and Sweden to Mos- cow. I found Sam Hitchcock superintendent of the Copenhagen Snuff factory. When I got over to Sweden I found Mrs. Holley, our old Wyomalo sponsor, had just won a skiing contest in which she set the record for the high 'ump. In Moscow, there was a big riot and quite a bit of excitement over the Bolshevilcs, who were under the leader- ship of Glenn Shaw, massacring the Czar. I left, as soon as possible, without giving him my love. Wednesday, January 24, 1950, I was back in Paris again, so I dropped into Charlie Markert's dance and dine Dreamland Cafe. Dorothea Knepper was the cigarette girl and Helen Kitchel was the cashier. I said hello to them all and they told me if I went around the corner to a peanut stand I would find an. old faculty member. Sure enough, it was Mr. Chit- tick, selling' peanuts in Paris. Later in the y I took the King George Special for London. 1 Thursday, January 25, 1950. I called on Francis T , who mode ng in London's most exclusive women's shoppe. She looked as full of deviltry as ever and says the women don't live in London that she can't sell something to. She asked to be remembered to Miss Beck, who was leading the Methodist choir at home. When I got back to the hotel, I bought a paper and read where Judy Rose had just been divorced from the Prince of Wales. After supper I strolled down the street and needing a shave, I stepped into a barber shop. The barbers were all women, and among their ranks was Miss Hasbrouck, slicing whiskers to her heart's content. Thursday, January 25, 1950. I packed my grip and went out to the field and took the Lindbergh Airways plane for New York. VVhen dinner was served, I was delighted to see that Jessie Hotchkiss, curls and all, was the stewardess on the plane. After dinner, Jessie and I visited all the way into New York. Friday, January 26, 1950. I spent the day with my old friend, Beverly Blake, who is now married and is running the most elite perfume shop on Fifth Avenue, She loaned me her private secretary, Miss Ruth Boren, to dictate a few letters to and late in the evening I took the overnight plane to Chicago. - Saturday, January 27, 1950. I arrived before dawn and rushed down town to see Dr. Frank Seney, who is a specialist in heart complications. He recently developed the theory that love wrecks more hearts than any other malady known. Before I left, Fred came rushing in and announced that he had just landed a contract for a building 125 stories high to cover 18 city blocks in Chicago. I might add that he is a very successful architect, Later in the day, I received a telegram from my brother asking me to hurry home because they are contemplating tearing down the old high school and building a new one. He wanted to prevent any such drastic action. I rushed out to the aviation field and chartered a special plane for the trip home. I arrived in Buffalo just in time to save our old high school from destruction. -ROBERT SMITH. THIRTY-ONE
