TXV ENTY-N I N IC proprietor: Ruby Navert and Katherine Tholstrup, traveling hairpin sales- womeng and Aileen Tower, chemistry instructor in the University of Mexico. Ialso was overjoyed to see Winifred Colvin, who was taking orders for cod liver oil pills. Not far from Mexico City I found Estelle Strom raising a fancy breed of rattlesnake for the Boston Museum. Her chief manager was Louis Edenholm, who spent his spare time inventing new and original football plays. I made a flying trip into California and found that Hollywood was being rocked with the revelations of a young and beautiful lecturer, who was shouting the evils of wearing high heeled shoes. The striking damsel Was none other than Wanda Wilson, and as a special compliment to me, she had her hairdresser sing, Sonny Boy. And the woman who sang it in her own touching and beautiful voice was Crystal Olson. After the lecture a man took up a collection, explaining that it was Wanda's only way of support. This gallant man was David Hernandez. Having come so far, I could not miss visiting my old home town and seeing what changes had been made in thirty-five years. I visited the high school and found that Darwin Sjolseth was the beloved principal. In the lai ge aviation department, Wino Mae Mitchell was instructing eager students in the art of flying. A daily newspaper was printed in the large print shop, with Jewelle Godwin in charge. In the city, I found Edith Gage running a huge gum factory with Winnie Lou Hunsaker as distributing agent, and Grace Holte advertising manager. Through the noble efforts of Corrinne Awckland, it has been found that gum was ben- eiicial to the thinking powers of high school students, and its use had been heartily endorsed by Principal Sjolseth. I could not resist a few days pleasure in New York, and my first night there found me enjoying the frivolities of a new and exclusive night club. The owner of this club was also master of ceremonies and after a few minutes of close scrutiny, I recognized him as Paul Stevens. One of the brilliant aicts on the entertainment was a tango by two Spaniards of genuine Castillian nobility. I had to laugh when I realized that they were none other than Dorothy Kerlee and Gaylord Bell. The club had been given such complimentary press notices that I visited the office of the New York Times, and much to my joy found my pal, Dorothy Galyean, Chief editor. The brilliant notices were due to the journalistic efforts of Bob Beurling, who was also assistant track coalch at Yale. I visited with Inez Christianson and Sheila Purves, successful book publishers, and at the immediate time, were publishing the 1965 edition of the Skagina. A court case came to my attention in which Alma Hanson was suing Rinnie Nelson for breaking a contract. It seems that Alma had been given the exclusive right to sell electric bed warmers to Arctic explorers and Rinnie had broken the agreement. Miss Hanson was being repre- sented by the brilliant attorney, Francisco Sulit. A frantic message from Peggy warned me that a man was usurping n1y throne. Through my negligence and Wanderlust spirit, James Hayton had got control of the nations, so I was banished forever. One day I was musing over my travles and the people I had seen, and it suddenly dawned on me that I had seen the entire class of thirty of the Mount Vernon High School. How true that old phrase, The world is small. L. W.-'30.

'I'lVI'IN'l'Y-IC I GII 'I' I left Zanzibar for Constantinople to attend a world famous opera then in progress. The program announced that it was being presented by Ted H011 in the new and beautiful Verne Auckland Theatre. The young hero, who was shaking the world with his tenor voice was Heston Wey- rich, assisted by Herbert Benthien, Florence Husby, Mary Ni-chols, Hazel Purcell and Helen Smith. The opera had been in progress for several years, according to James Astel and his wife, the former Edith Abbott, who were chief stage hands. I took off for Finland to take part in the annual Lutefisk Week Cel- ebration. I was honor guest at a big lutefisk dinner prepared by Mary Brennan and Pauline Brandt. One of the big features of the banquet was a musical program by the famous Johnson Quartette, composed of Mildred Johnson, La Rue Johnson, Astrid Johnson and Leo Johnson, ac- companied on the piccolo by Kenneth Ward. I communicated with the governor of Paris, Robert Anderson, and he told me of disturbances in that city caused by the radical paintings of Bob Hanson. Much to my amazement, I found that Peggy had selected Wayne Wyman as governor of Asia and that his hobby was chimney sweeping. He was at the time entertaining three noted missionaries, Jane Billings, Ruby White and Delbert Lewis, with their press agent, Virgil Buchanan. In Arabia, I found an industrial war raging because Roy Sharrett and Whitney Shook were trying to :corner the date market. I then flew to China. Here I found that the annual football classic be- tween China and Japan was to be played on the morrow. Millions thronged the stadium at the appointed hour clad in evening gowns and suits. The master of ceremonies, James Callahan, introduced the players, coaches and officials. I nearly iswooned on seeing that Carl Rings was the Chinese grid coach and Helen Moore the Japanese. The head linesman was Olaf Iverson and I rushed madly on the field to embrace him. The next moment I was arrested for disturbing the public peace. As I was traveling incognito, no one recognized me and I was thrown into jail. The cell next to mine was occupied by Runar Anderson, who had been con- victed of the murder of a saxaphone player. I was finally freed and left for Australia, where I visited with the governor, Robert Bloom, and his wife, Grauce Larson. Their household consisted of several old school mates: Dorothy Lilienthal as housekeeper, Ellen Holman as secretary, and Grant Nelson as gardener. I continued on to South America to consult the governor there, and I was over-joyed on finding that it was Wayne Miller. A revolution was in progress, for women had been abolished from the bullfights, and Elise Barnes was in charge of the troops, assisted by Charlotte Weis, Mabel Tideman, La Verne Coins, and Vivian Greenwood. I left them to their troubles and visited a large squaker farm in Argentina which was owned by Opal Schweikhardt and Evelyn Nelson. The squakers were discovered by Roy'Carlson and grown for the New Year's Eve market. Two other old school pals were down in this country growing bigger and better nuts for their own corporation of E. Sundquist SL L. Nord, Inc. I went up into Mexico where the annual All-Nation checker tourna- ment was on. I found Harold Shelley a contender for the championship, who, according to his manager, Gladys Mauseth, was the very best player. However, Lloyd Hildebrand was forging to the front, and according to his publicity manager, Mary Louise La Venture, would win. Among the crowd which attended I recognized Julia Lillquist, a pop-corn wagon
