Granlee was one of the founders of tc the Jim Conley residence near Jim receiving much attention from his since he injured his hand in the corn we then journeyed Morral. Here we found wife and four children picker while picking corn on his fcurehuhdred acre farm. After having tea at the Cenleys'k we went to Chicago where we visited one of the cities leading business estab- lishments-meFeurot's Ehysique Building Company. Mr. Edward Faurot is the president and CWBGT of this cempany and last week the world witnessed his greatest triumph when he drove Charles Atlas out of business. As Edward was very busy, we did not stay long. We' started for California but while flying over Jefferson City Missouri, we noticed that the circus was in town and, as we we decided to stop and look around a bit. that we did, for whom do we find in that Morral High's previous students. A Natch- had all afternoon, We were very glad circus but some of urally, one of the biggest attractions in any circus is the trapeze artist and we fauna that Gene White wasj Barnum and Baileys' star attraction. She had joined the circus after she ran away from college with the sword swallower. Upon further investigation, we found still another member of the class of 1947 who proved to be Ann Schmelzer. When she heard that her friend, Gene White, had joined the circus, Suede- cided to also and has since become the world's greatest lady lion tamer. Continuing our afternoon travels, we find ourselves very curious about a lonely figure we see walking in a des- olate spot in the Rocky Mountains. We land and find that the person is none other than Paul Wiley. Paul soon ex- plained to us that he was living the life of a hermit and that we were the first human beings that he had seen for over four years. He is a member cf the staff of chemists at Harvard University and the other chemists had chosen him to leave the University and become a hermit for a period of 42 years in order to help them complete their research of the primitive man. We decided that perhaps it would be better not to visit with Paul too long perrment so we continued Lane City, we stopped to there.

He said that he had ridden it four times in the last hour and explained that the reason he was so elated over the V new concession was because he had always wanted to travel but since he had to support his ten children, he had never had the chance. Now this wonderful new invention took you' round the world in two minutes for only twenty-five cents a.. n in We left Don buying another ticket and next stopped Hollywood. We had little trouble finding Betty Brady, ex-Morral student, and were interested in the work which had taken up. She was the wife of a man who drew for Walt Disney comics and she had obtained the job ishing the voice of Clarabel Cow in the movies and radio. We then flew to Los Angeles which was only a onds away and there found two of the graduates of class together in a thriving business.

Our next stop is a large pmnumrn1i1Smnmem1 California Here we find Pete Merritt. Pete is a retired sugar-beet weed-puller who spends most of his time taking life easy or driving one of his seventeen convertables. After leaving here we fly over the Pacific and finally land on an Island far out in the Ocean. This proves to be the island of Kerarmo Retto and we find Howard Conley living here at the present time. He is planning to stay here until he makes enough money to continue his extensive travels over the world. He is making the money' to continue traveling by selling bubble gum to the nativies. Our visit with Howard was interrupted by several native children who came to purchase some of the fascinating gum so we continue to Africa where we find Virgil Hite. He has taken up the occupation of farming here where he has lived since he returned three years ago with his wife, an educated Zulu who had been in one of his classes at college. We visited with Virgil until his wife ordered him to start pre- paring dinner so we then started the return trip home across the Atlantic. We stopped to view the scenery on a small Island and there we found still another former school-mate. Vernon ' Neal is the chief of highway patrolmen on this small island He is considering quitting his'job, however, as they don't have automobiles on the island. We found that itmms getting late so we turned toward home and arrived there just in time
