On June 1, 1962, we left Laketon on our long planned trip around the world in our new blue Cadillac. The weather was wonderful for traveling and after packing, we drove to Burch's filling station at junction 114 and 15, to get our car filled with gasoline. Tom Burch, now married and in partnership with his father, waited on us. We chatted a few moments and then bade him good-bye and were on our way. Our first big stop was to be in Washington, D. C. We stopped at a newstand and who should we come across but Jim Weitzel. He was getting a paper. He told us that he was living in Washington, D.C. and was a senator from Indiana. He had be- come a great man in politics. We now headed our car for Niagara Falls. As we were parking our car there, we glanced across the street and saw a car with the sign JUST MARRIED on it. Who should climb out but Terry Miller and his new bride. We congratulated them and learned that he was a instructor at West Point. We were sorry that we couldn't talk longer, but we were in a hurry to get to New York City. We wanted to go shopping in New York, so the first place we went to was the large Murphy’s Dime Store. After having purchased a number of things and were just about ready to leave, we glanced around and saw Carol Sue Fruitt (now Slack 1 at one of the cash registers. We hurried over to talk to her and she said that she liked working at the Murphy Dime Store in North Manchester so well that she was now clerking here. We wondered how she ever came to be in New York, but she soon explained it to us. Max was now the manager of the Murphy Store here. She said she enjoyed her work very much. She also told us the former Dorene Eltzroth was living in New York. Our next stop in New York was at Madison Square Gardens. We were looking around and much to our surprise we saw Jacob Cormany sparring around with his trainer, getting in shape for his championship fights. We had a little chat with him and then went to the Yankee Stadium. We had heard that the Yankee's were playing the Cleveland Indians that day. Just as we walked in, we heard the crowd cheering. Devon Ogden had just made a home run for the Yankee's. We thought we saw a fa- miliar face out leading a yell for the Yankee’s. It was! It was Mr. Hanson Baldwin! He had liked yelling so well back at L. H. S. that he continued doing so for the Yan- kee's. The Yankee’s won! After the game we didn't get a chance to talk to Devon, but at least we got to see him play. Next, we looked for Dorene. She was quite surprised to see us. We learned that she had worked as a secretary in the Underwood Typewrite Office and had marr- ied her boss. She was living in a small apartmen and was leading a very happy married life. We had a wonderful time in New York, but decided to see some more of the world, so went to New York Harbor, and boarded the Queen Mary , driving our car on the boat with us. We weren't on the ship long until we met Rex Baker, the cap- tain of the ship. He decided that it was cheaper to be a bachelor, so he had never married. We landed at London. Because we had always heard so much about the famous London Opera House, we decided to take time out to go there one evening. We thou- ght we heard a familiar voice, and, lo and behold, it was Myrl Frantz trying to sing the leading part. We enjoyed it very much and wished we could have talked to him. Our next stop was at Paris, France, which is noted for its style and fashion shows. One evening we went to one of the Elite Fashion Shows. Among the models was Dorothy Shewman, a graduate from that famous class of 1952. Her picture was appearing in some of the noted magazines. She saw us sitting in the audience and motioned for us to wait after the show. This gave us a chance to talk to her and we
