I decided I should go sol said goodbye and left. I had scarcely gone a block when a woman almost knocked me down. It was Arlene Evans and over her shoulder was a pair of tennis shoes. “Hello, I said. She greeted me and after I had told her how 1 was trying to hear about our classmates she said, Well, I have been playing guard for the Olsen's Redheads, and I see most of them in my traveling around. Do you remember Jimmie Mack? He has become a great author of books for growing children. Don Close and Louie Oden have a harem in Arabia. No doubt, you have heard about Pauline Morris, she’s been running for the first woman president. I was in Charlene Roe's theatre not long ago. She owns the only one in the world that shows its double features at the same time. Bill Cobb and Harry Kaiser have become great inventors. Harry has invented a new clock which doesn’t have an alarm, while Bill is working on a fish pole with which you don't have to wake up when you catch a fish. And by the way, Donald Everendenhas invented a jet propelled automobile which he has painted a bright red. Arlene continued, I just heard about Bobby Brooks when we were in Hollywood. He’s replaced Mortimer Snerd on Charlie McCarthy’s radio show, and I saw Laura Shelton and Marlene Gasner the last time I was in Salem. They could never make up their minds over which school to attend, Oregon or Oregon State so they attend classes taught by Professors Russell and Train, Instructors of Psychology at the University for Itomized Idiots. “And, I heard the former Jackie Fiser has just sent her children to Paducah, Kentucky, under the tutorship of Dick Southmayd to better their education, Arlene said. “Well, I have to run along now,” she said, and left. I went window shopping along the street when a particular dress met my fancy. The sign over the door stated, Andre’s Exclusive Dress Shoppe, run by Alton Epperson, proprietor, with the famous designer, Melburn Craven, designing exclusive styles for ladies.” I opened the door and as I stepped into the interior Melburn appeared. I knew it was he in spite of the mustache and stylish clothes he was wearing. “Come right in and sit down,” he said. Then he recognized me and after we had talked for a few minutes, I told him I was very interested in the whereabouts of our classmates. Why, yes, he said, “Do you see the charming lady modeling the blue bathing suit? Do you recognize her? She is Miss Mary Alice Wiley. Melburn continued, Pauline C. Morris came in for a new hat last week and I sold her a complete outfit. I should know a few more. Oh yes, remember Dick Anderson? He has his own orchestra and he plays up atSitkum every Saturday night. And Rick Bingham liked football so well that when he got rich he built his own football stadium and Jennie Zinn sells hotdogs to keep the place going. “I just received a letter from Ford Worsham last week, he and Glen Zeller have become rising stars since a talent scout saw them in their brilliant performance in the Senior Play. Everything began to get hazy and this familiar face began to fade away into the mists. When I woke I found myself lying by my bookcase with my head pillowed on my Annuals wondering how this could have been a dream because it seemed to be so real.
