I suppose you have seen on every front page the glaring headlines relating the completion of the journey throughout the United States, in the largest air ship known. It so happened that I was fortunate enough to be one of the passengers. It may seem queer too, but I was fortunate enough to meet or hear of every memf ber of the class of '3O. just as I was boarding the ship, I dropped my handbag and a small gentleman stooped to pick it up. I was very much surprised when I recognized this man to be Sediel Cavis. He had come from Houston, Texas, where he is studying the Art of Hypnotism. After we were comfortably seated, I noticed a couple sitting in front of me. They looked familiar and after a lapse of a few minutes, I recognized them. Mr. and Mrs. Hubert W. Pearce, nee Evelyn Williams, were my fellowfpassengers. They live in 'New York City, where Hubert is a stockfbroker. They talked to me quite awhile and called my attention to a young and attractive lady in the rear of the coach. I had seen her picture several times but had failed to recognize her as Ruth Williams. Hubert said she was one of the most celebrated stage actresses in New York. Her assumed name is Natalie deMaubi'ey and she has her present contract with the Roxy Theatre. The first lap of our journey was completed at Chicago. Hubert and Evelyn asked me to go sightfseeing with them, since we had a three hour stay there. We first went to the Drake Hotel for our dinner. Our class seemed to be well representf ed there. As we passed the cle'rk's office, I recognized Helen jones typing very cheer' fully for her employer,ZWarde Hearn. Ward has only recently bought the Drake. He made his vastly fortune in the oil wells of Southern Texas. When we started to order our dinner, the waiter who appeared before us was Roscoe Simpson. He is living in Chicago with his lovely wife, a dear schoog friend, of the Sophomore Class Of JO. Hubert seemed to want to make the trip delightful for Evelyn and me and so he took us to the orchestra box. The leader was certainly a cheerful, handsome, and X-In . f26j S .

ro fir-are CARDINFAL A r f J' To f'iQQx happy-go'lucl-cy fellow and proved to be Donald Hinckle. He also lives in Chicago, but has not been so fortunate as Roscoe. After we left the hotel, we decided to visit one of the parks. When we arf rived at the gate of Lincoln Park, who should greet us but Coastel Follis, the curaf tor. He showed to us the interesting places in the park, but best of all, he showed us over the golf links and the tennis courses. just as we were leaving, someone called my name. I turned and greeted Zelma Farris. She is working for Brown, Schiermeyer E99 Coolan and has become private secretary to Albert Brown, the sen' ior partner of the firm. Albert has published a variety of books among which The Habit of Bluffingn, and L'How to Overcome Nervousness and Stage Fright are the most important. Since we had only fifteen minutes left, we decided to return to the field. Sevf eral new passengers were preparing to board the ship, and as they did, I recognized Mae Stewart. Mae has been married fifteen years and she and her husband have become immensely wealthy through the invention of the new type cork screw. They are living in Lansing, Michigan, but they were living in Chicago at that time on account of their business. When the ship had completed its flight across the United States, we landed in San Francisco. As we stepped from the ship, Clada Becker rushed up to us and greeted us in a hearty manner. She seemed so pleased to see everyone and told us she was working for MfGfM. Her newest picture is Going Wild with Pete Barutto playing opposite her. Both of them live in Beakley Hills and have made a fortune in pictures. i We decided to go the hotel for dinner. When we entered, Raymond Willhite met us in the lobby. He is a traveling salesman for the LLW6Hf'LO11gEI1, Hosiery Company andtold us that Alice was back in old Thoinpsonville working as secref tary for J. A. Knight Eh? Son. I noticed someone looking at us continually. Finally a young woman rushed toward the table. When she spoke I immediately recognized her. It was Mrs. Ralph Davison. She and her husband were spending the summer in California. She told me that Ralph was coaching the Humbugs at the J. C. College. julia was def lighted to see us. It was the first time she had seen us since we were graduated from J. C. T. H. S. She invited us to her home to spend the evening. She invited some other people that we had known but would not tell us who they were. We took a taxi to her home, but we were almost sorry we did, because our driver, john KV X f Yagi? as-P E273 1'
