G p I Lomg dill' Cami- 'QN- I I u .K as -A .J . Asll ' fa r Xxx, xgX 'f i 'fill Q ' Crx We decide to visit the Shetland Islands before we continue on the main- land to Europe. While visiting several of the dude ranches we run into Doris Hoch, who now owns the largest dude ranch on the islands. She in- vites us to stop for a while and enjoy the pleasures offered on herranch. We discover it is getting rather late, so we must travel on. Next stop London, England. There we meetthe second Gorgeous Gussie Moran who we remember as Jean Clark. She invites us to attend one of her tennis games and express our opinion on her new tennis shorts. We tell her that we must hurry on or we may miss the plane. As we are preparing to leave we hear the pilot talking of a famous bur- esque show he once saw in France. This arouses our curiosity' so we de- ide to see if all that we have heard is true. As we are buying out ickets we hear a familiar voice wailing through the doorway. As we enter we see the familiar voice is coming from the barker of the show whom we recognize as Charlie Faust, one ofour old classmates of '5l. After the show we go back stage to see Charlie and he enjoys it very much. As we are leaving a member of our party calls our attention to a poster that is advertising a bull fight with the famous woman fullfighter seno- rita Miller. We wonder if this could be the same NBillU Miller that we used to know at LaFontaine. We purchase tickets to Madrid where the bull- fight is being held. After our arrival in Madrid we immediately go to the arena. As we enter the arena the crowd is cheering wildly, the reason for this is the bull has just made his entrance. All at once the crowd starts to jeer and boo. We look toward the center of the arena and see that the matador has made her entrance. As we observe more closely we see that our suspicions were true that the matador is Bill Miller. Since we know how the results will come out we leave before the perilous end. We are back to the airport now and ready to leave for Johannasburg, Africa. We decide to go there because of the diamonds that are found there. We are going to try our luck at finding a few for our treasure chest. Upon our arrival we strike out immediately for the nearest mine, with our pick and shovel in hand. When we arrive we notice a large crowd gathered around a long-bearded prospecton who has just discovered a large diamond. As we observe more closely we discover the prospector is none other than Fred Cullar, Since our time is running short and we cannot prospect on our own, Fred offers each of us one of his smaller diamonds to take home. We thank him for his kindness and reassure himihat we will come back and see him before too long. He bids us farewell and we travel on to Arabia. On our way to Arabia zines on board, While looking through one of them we see a familiar name, Jim Haynes, under one of the groups of pictures. Upon closer inspection we see one of our old school mates in the picture. It is none other than Miriam Sheffield. Upon reading further we discover Jim and Miriam live at the harem of we decide to look at some of the photographic maga- in Arabia, so we decide to visit them. When we arrive Haynes we see several beautiful girls clustered about one person. As we push our way through them we discover it is Jim they are clustered about, Miriam is there also, fanning Jim with a palm branch. Jim is busily ex- plaining the fundamentals of photography to them. He finally looks up and sees us. He is overjoyed to see a few of his old friends from'La- Fontaine. While talking to Jim and Miriam we discover they moved out here a good while ago, because of the scenic beauty, to take pictures for one of the leading photographic magazines' in the country. Jim wants us to stay and pose for some pictures,but our time is growing short and we must

Semin peapieeq la S CSeniors of 19517 Year 1961 ! Q .41 If During the nine years that have passed since our graduation ffrom La- Fontaine High school, we have been working diligently to produce a coun- terfeit hundred dollar bill. Finally we have made one that will easily pass for a real one. As we now are multi-millionaires we can afford to hire a taxi to take us to the airport. When the taxi came skidding to a stop in front of our home, we remark that the car looks very familiar. 'In fact, it looks just like the green Ford Doris Silvers drives. We climb into the cab and dis- cover it is Doris. She tells us she has been a taxi cab driver only a short while. After the wild ride to the airport we can see whatshe means. Upon our arrival at the airport we begin making inquiries as to when the next plane leaves for New York. No one seems to know, so we are directed to the main office. There, who should we find behind the desk but Jerry Shenefield. He informs us that he is now the sole owner of an airport. It seems he has enough children to take care of everything. He willingly consents to pilot the plane himself for our trip. When we arrive at New York we decide to do a little sight-seeing. we all have heard a lot about the Statue of Liberty, so we decide we would like to see it. we get aboard the ferry boat and much to our surprise we find Captain Ronald Retherford. He tells us he had always wanted to be a cap- tain of a ship. He came to New York five years ago and got his chance to be a ferry boat captain. In a short time we see the famous Statue of Liberty. We get off the ferry boat and some one suggests going to the top. They now have replaced the old elevator with a new supersonic one. As the elevator shoots upward, we happen to notice that the operator looks very familiar. who should it be but, Donald Working. He told us he came to New York on the senior trip and fell in love with the Statue of Liberty and decided to stay. Now we are off to the airport to start across the Atlantic Ocean on the first leg of our trip. As the trip across the Atlantic Ocean is very upsetting, due to the fact that Jerry pilots the airplane much in the same way as he drove his truck in his high school days, we are forced to make an emergency landing in Ireland because of our air-sickness. When we are conducted into the hospital we are met by the head doctor who much to our surprise is Anna Haggerty, an alumni from old L. H. S. Anna tells us that while she was enroute to England to further her medical education her plane was forced down in Ireland. She became so interested in the Irish and their ways thatshe decided to stay as head of one of the leading hospitals. Before we journey on Anna takes us on a sight-seeing trip on the town. One of the main attractions is an orphanage for red- headed children. Anna introduces us to the head of the orphanage who we know as Phyllis McCo1lister. While talking with Phyllis she informs us that her life ambition has always been to run an orphanage forred-headed children and that she finally succeeded in doing so a few years ago. 3 I Q is 41' I' Eg, ' .gr lm I B-0

We assure him that we will study all of the photography maga- zines from now on As we are going to be late to the airport Miriam we consented to go, and we soon are traveling at a high rate of speed in YA YM 1 G .

As we insured our lives before we left America' ,.,l9 L 411 U the little gray Ford Miriam drove in her high school days at LaFontaine At last,the airport, because of Miriam's driving we are ten minutes early instead.of ten minutes late like we thought we would be. We bid a fond farewell to Miriam and travel to the land of the Rising Sun. We arrive in Japan on a beautiful Sunday morning. We adorn ourselves in straw shoes and kimonos and we're off to the church. Upon our arrival at the church we discover that we are a little late, so we take a seat on the back row. We are attracted by the songleader who looks very familiar, but due to the fact we are on the back row there is some controversy over who it is. After the services, our curiosity has grown so much that we advance to the altar to meet her. Herewhonishould we find except Barbara Henry. She introduces us to her husband who is the minister. She tells us that they came to Japan as missionaries about five years before and they decided to stay. Barbara is so anxious to hear about old LaFontaine, that we had to spend the night to morning we tell her for us and again we are off Next stop Australia. Since and we have the fever to go shooting a few of the many we really must Ol'l ODI' now it rabbit answer all of her questions. The next go, so she packs a lunch of rice cakes , I Journey. is rabbit season in the United States hunting we decide to try our luck at rabbits in Australia. We read in the paper just before we left the United States that they were having great diffi- culty with the rabbits in Australia and they were advertising for men to help shoot them, so we decide to offer our services. As we are ready to start off on our hunting trip we hear someone shouting at us. We turn to see none other than Jerry Sellers running towards us with a dead rabbit. He tells us that he has bren in Australia for six months trying to kill his share of the rabbits. However, we find that his share of the rabbits must be very small, because this is the first rabbit he has killed since he arrived six months before. He says the rabbits are almost human and they keep out-smarting him. We decide that if it takes Jerry that long to kill one rabbit we had better be traveling on our way. We leave Australia with the idea of going to a cooler country. We look at our map and decide that Alaska is just the place for us to go since it is cooler there and we are toldthat some gold is found there also. Since our plane is a ski-plane we land on a lake frozen over with ice, near a village somewhere in the wilderness. We make our way to a small cabin located on the side of the lake. As we enter the cabin we are greeted very warmly by a group of young children. When the mother of the children steps forward we are very surprised to find out that itis Bonnie Cunning- ham. Bonnie tells us her husband is a gold prospector and they have been in Alaska for about eight years now. Bonnie insists that we stay for a bite to eat before we leave and We oblige by doing so. After finishing our meal we decide that we must take off before darkness arrives, so we make our farewells and wish Bonnie and her husband luckin their prospect- ing. At last we are now back in the old United States. Our next fornia where we have heard they are going to make a trial space ship that is to be launched that very day. When we scene of the launching we are very much surprised to find Dilot is a woman. As we Observe the woman more closely Marilynn Hoch.
