In the year 1973 Mr. K. V. Anderson, the superintendent of Mead High School, is boarding a space ship at the Mead Airport leaving on a tour of the world to visit the members of the class of 1953. Getting out his binoculars he notices that the ship is to make its first landing in South America. Here he sees a red headed woman on the campus of a leading college in Brazil and recognizes her as Faith Carlson. The ship resumes its flight making its next stop at Hawaii. As he walks down the beach he sees a row of neat little cottages and out in front of one is a mother caring for her five little tots. This is none other than the former Ardis Johnson. Crossing back over the ocean he sees a large carrier ship and with his binoculars he recognizes the Captain to be Millard Barlow. As the ship moves on, the town of Salt Lake City comes into view and he decides to visit one of the leading high schools where Violet Berghis the leading instructor of the music department. Entering into the vast country of Texas he comes upon a huge ranch where he stops to visit the former Bonnie Johnson now the wife of the wealthy Don Gaeth. He leaves now for Florida to continue his visits. He comes to a large chemical plant where Gary Widman has just made an amazing new discovery, H20. He now stops in New York to relax and attend the Metropolitan Opera where recognizes the star as Anna Leaf formerly of Mead High. On his trip to Paris his ship almost crashes into a jet plane. A quick glance indentifies the pilot as Myron Sagert, the Air Force Hero. He lands in Paris and begins a tour of the famous city. As he passes through one of the great fashion shops he recognizes the leading designer to be none other than the famous Lila Johnson. From here he goes to Germany to visit, the former Kaye Daharsh who is with her husband, a general in the army. They have just become the proud parents of triplets. As he nears the end of the journey he comes to Washington D. C. where he sees the former Ailene Coyle watching a Hot Rod Race with her four tots. They are all anxiously watching their father who is driving one of the hot rods. The ship flies over a large sheep ranch where Mr. Anderson notices the owner and recognizes him to be Gilbert Drews. His last stop is a large hospital in Illinois. He is taken on a tour of the hospital by the head nurse, Lois Anderson. Pleased with what he has seen on his journey, Mr. Anderson returns home safely
