My first stop, after leaving Kansas City, was Chicago. One day while downtown I noticed a large crowd in front of the Wrigley building. My curiosity was aroused and I stopped to ask a man what causes that? He told me that the attraction was the Champion Gum Chewerf' Thor- oughly curious then, I edged up to the front of the throng to see the title holder, and I was amazed to find George T. Perry. I was glad to see that at least one member of our class had become a champion in some activity. A couple of days later, while stopping for fuel in Cleveland, I en- countered an old friend who also was going to the city of Boston. He was Fred Nelson back in the good old school days, but since leaving school the has become a renowned teacher and author. His latest book was Chemistry in Ten Lessons. Nelson was on his way to hear a lecture on the Evils of Alcohol by a noted dry leader and being something of a dry myself I attended the lecture, too. Everything went along fine until the main speaker was introduced. He was George A. Jones. Right then my politics almost changed but before Mr. Jones finished I was back with the drys. A few nights later, ,while glancing through the amusement advertise- ments, my attention was fixed by one featuring a popular song and dance man from Kansas City. A natural interest in anyone from the Missouri city caused me to attend the show and I was certainly glad for this headliner turned out to be Jack Heath. The next week I flew to New York. While at the pier bidding a friend bon voyage on a trip to Europe a tall, blonde man with a familiar appearance captured my attention and I recognized him at once as Gordon Delaney. He acted as though he were looking for someone. l54l ,J si I gi 'Q 5 3 5 fi if 'li fs fi i 3 5 s I F fr f 5 il f in qu il F is if .l'.4u'.4d'aiP Q ll ll' Y e ii ! Ea EQEZ I Oc!

4 Ile xi 1? i pony breeder. It seemed that he had become interested and received his I I first information about it while at the College of Pharmacy. : El Paso was my next stop. There I happened across the Hrm of Jones and Stiles, dealers in second hand Fords and other junk. 4:1 Wishing to see the Grand Canyon, which by the way, I hadn't seen since Bud Janes and I had taken our sightseeing tour right after the l Hrst year of school, I made that my next stop. Almost the first person li I saw on alighting from the plane was H. Welch. He was all dressed up f in a coWboy's outfit and said he was a guide. Now I can understand why Ii! so many people go to see the Grand Canyon. i The motor caused trouble and I made a forced stop at Barstow, a small town in California, and was delayed a few hours in reaching Los Angeles. 1 ij Barstow's only amusement center seemed to be a shooting gallery. While E killing time I entered thegallery and was greeted at the door by N. Cmullic, the proprietor. I was much pleased to see him and was sorry when Q!! I was forced to leave. In Los Angles I immediately happened onto E. J. Carroll. He was dressed fit to kill and had a walk that was irresistible. He taught dancing at night and was a regular city slicker in the daytime. He's I the kind of man that gives these big cities a bad name, but putting all jokes 1 aside, it did my old heart good to see E. J. again. Q No trip to California is complete unless a visit is made to Catalina Island, so I took to the water. I made a sightseeing voyage and the ' announcer on the glass-bottom boat was P. Kohl. His voice was as N strong as it ever was. 5 The next Week I flew to San Diego and after staying there a couple of weeks without seeing anyone I knew, I had given up meeting any old friends but finally I bumped into I. Slocum. He, like the majority of the fellows I had seen, was out of the drug game. He was a lock expert I and specialized in opening safes. I heard of a bull fight scheduled the next week in Tia Juana, Mexico, it so I decided to stay and witness it. Under the new Mexican law the lighters had to throw the bull and were not allowed to kill it. This was g' an international affair and I anticipated that it might be somewhat boring ki but I soon forgot that and was nearly overcome by astonishment when the l56l
