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.

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

20 Zi EE.. :il IIE She tells us that she is off to the moon. She also says that this is go- ing to be her second trip. She has been to the moon before, and found that she likes it very much. In fact, she says she thinks she might stay because they have the best looking men upthere. We bid her a final fare- will and tell her to expect us any time. Since we are back in the old United States again we decide to stop at the famous Reno, Nevada. Not that we want to get a divorce or anything, but we heard that they were holding a professional basketball game there and it has been some months since we have seen one. As we purchase our tickets and find our seats in the field ouse we see that both teams are in their respective huddles. In a short while the game gets under way. One of our group remarks that the referee looks very familiaq but because our seats are almost at the top of the fieldhouse we cannot make out whom it is. After the game we rush down to the referee. Not that we want to give him a big sock in the nose or anything, but we want to find out just who he is. When we finally reach him we are greatly surprised to find Bob Dawes. He tells us that he came to Nevada about five years before and he makes refereeing his hobby. He tells us his real job is that of the judge in the misdemeanors court, but he doesn't have much work to do because most of the people us on a sight-seeing tour and interesting place. We morning on the last leg of are interestedin the divorce courts. He takes of Reno and we find that Reno is a beautiful spend the night with him andtravel on the next our journey. Now we are back in old Chicago, the place we started from. While reading the newspapers that have accumulated since we left we find that a new wrestler is going to make her debut in one of the Chicago rings. We see that she goes by the name ofPowerful Patty. we wonder if it is anyone we happen to know so we decide to go see. After the dreadful fight between Powerful Patty and Gigantic Jackilen, we advance to the ring to congratu- late the winner. There looking just the same as she did in her high school days is Patty Rogers. We congratulate her on her first win and she explainsthat she acquired her strength from pushing through the halls in LaFontaine High School. We tell her that we will be looking forward to her next fight and leave the ringto go home and get a good night rest. The good night's rest that We thought we were going to get was interrupted by a phone call at noon. One member of our party answers the phone and faints dead away after hearing the message. When we finally revive her we discover that we are under arrest. The police arrive and we are taken to the jail pending trial. We demand a lawyer and one is brought to us. There looking through the bars at us is Betty Thompson. She tells us that she has been a lawyer for seven years, and she is willing to help us the best she can. We explain the situation to her and she tells us that she is very sorry but she cannot help us. Do here we sit waiting for our twenty year term to be up, wondering what all of our friends we met on the trip would think of us now. What a mess we are in,, but just who would think that they would find out those hundred-dollar bills of ours were not real? Authors Darlene Holtsclaw Ann Shenefield Jim Eopley '
