THE MIRROR A TRIP AROUND THE WORLD We, Ruth and Xorma, having; gained large fortunes in oil investments de cided to take a trip around the world. Leaving Los Angeles, our home t wn. we thought we would go to the movie center, Hollywood. There we gained much knowledge of “the movies.” We saw the production of “Live-wires” in which Gordon Kruger, our old clasrmate, starred as a famous “sheik.” The fifteen years after graduation had not changed him very much. The Yellowstone National Park was our next stop. Here we saw all the wonders of nature that we had so often dreamed about. From the Park we went to Bismarck, X. I). During a stop on the way we bought a new novel from a book stand. “Love in the West” by Josie Thalle was indeed thrilling to read, since the author was our schoolmate. From the sketch of the author’s life we gleaned that after graduation Miss Thalle had gone West to write novels, an ambition which had always been uppermost in her mind. We had just finished the book when we came to Bismarck. Our educational interests led us to the University. Wandering over the campus, we were asked to go to see Miss Berg, the Dean of Women. We met a little, light haired, bright-eyed, capable woman. We instantly recognized Edna, our friend of the Training Class in Mondovi. After spending the day with Edna in a social chat, we were again on our way. At Minneapolis, Minn., we had to seek a dentist. On inquiring for the best one we were directed to Dr. Amunson’s office. Her credentials were: champion maker of false teeth, painless extraction of teeth, very nominal prices. Her offices were large, and many customers were waiting. Great was our joy when we saw that the dentist was none other than Leannah. Because of the rushing business we only had a few hours’ talk after treatment of our troubles. We then eagerly made our way to our old home town, Mondovi, a city now. We stayed at the Gazoola Hotel owned by a large and capable looking woman, Lola Loomis. Upon recognition, we were given comfortable rooms and received the entire news of Mondovi’s progress since our absence. Miss Loomis informed us of a large Agriculture meeting in Stanley, and asked us if we wouldn't like to go. We were wondering what would interest us there when she informed us that Mr. Pierce Ruseling was President of the Association. Next day we motored to Stanley to see Mr. Ruseling. His farm, a mile from town, was large and prosperous. Because of his wife’s interests he had taken up fanning and had become successful as a dairyman. After spending a joyous time at his home and in Mondovi, we again were on our way. The state capitol at Madison was of great interest to us. We were introduced to Governor Colby who was none other than Foster of our High School days. By his arguments and good ideas he had quickly risen to fame. He was expecting after his governorship to be a senator, lie was our host for the day, and entertained us by taking us to the University to see Miss Agnes Serum, a teacher of languages. We all talked over times gone by, and then went to listen to one of the rising orators of the day, namely, Maynard Saxe, who was adept in handling words, and was very convincing. From Madison we made our way to Chicago. Stepping from the train we were accosted by the smiling face of a Social Welfare worker. We knew at once that she was Hazel Adams. Fifteen years had not changed Hazel much; she was as bright an entertainer as in her High School days. We visited the ait gallery, and were attracted by a painting of a great Futurist artist named Evelyn Walker. Here was another of our classmates who had
