estates on each side of the road. At the top of a big hill I stopped the car and started up a big flight of stone steps. As I reached the top a strange sensation over swept me. As I started to push the button to ring the bell I be- gan to feel sleepy: I pushed the bell and I heard a shrill ring. I awakened with a start as I heard the shrill ring of the Brown's doorbell! Goodness, I had been dreaming! As I went to the door, I looked at my watch and it was 11:30. The Browns must have forgotten their key. I let them in and I noticed that Mrs. Brown kept watching me, and then she began to laugh. I then realized that I was holding one of Jimmie's little blue Buick cars. As I walked home I wondered if the future of the class of 52 would be as I had dreamed.

I left Louisville feeling wonderful after seeing so many of my old class mates, and took a plane to New York. At La Guardia Field, I bought a New York newspaper and to my surprise, I found an advertisement of Jo Ann Martinfs hat shop. Jo Ann always did have a creative ability, so after graduation, she be- gan designing hats and eventually set up her own business. I went to see Jo Ann and she told me about Willa May Crosby who worked her way up the ladder of sing- ing success. Willa May had a New York T-V show and starting with her was Gary Crosby, Bing's oldest son. Ernest Elwanger also made his fortune in New York. He was manager of Sherman Billingsly's Stork Club, one of New York's swankiest night clubs. While in New York I went to the Stork Club. I found Hugh Totten as the feature attract- ion of the floor show. After graduation, Hugh sent for a book called, HHow to Become a Ventriloquistu so he began his career with his pal Herman, and took Edgar Bergnam's place in all the movies. While in New York, I attended a style show of the latest Paris fashions and found Mary Higdon as one of the models. After the show, I went back stage and I asked her if she knew where any of our other class mates were, and she told me Frances Adam was working as a dress designer in Hollywood, for Cell Chapman. I left New York after saying good-by to my friends and took a train for Hollywood. While on the train, I was very much surprised to find Lloyd Smith as conductor. Lloyd was living in Toledo, Ohio with his wife and four children. His wife is a teacher of Sociology, in a near by High School. The train stopped at Sage-brush Junction, Oklahoma to let off five New York socialites who were going to a dude ranch. As the train pulled into the station, I noticed an elaborately dressed cowboy standing by a station wagon with the name HFlying S Ranchu on the side. As he turned around, it was Paul Smith. I couldn't miss the opportunity to talk over old times, so I got off the train, deciding that I could catch the next western bound train. I went to Paul's ranch with his other guests and met his lovely wife and daughter. Darrel Whitman was also at Paul's ranch. He was Paul's foreman but he spent most of this time teaching New York debutantes how to ride. I left Sage-brush Junction on the next train for Reno, Nevada. Paul told me about Boheim Bir who became a famous lawyer in divorce cases. Boheim had just won freedom for Margaret O'Brein in her 5th divorce suit. Another class mate, Jim Arnold lived in Reno too with his recent bride. Jim, was owner of TRUMAN DOWNS, a famous race track. I left Reno, and by train, I traveled to Hollywood. In the down town business section I saw a used car lot and an elaboratecar renting business, I decided I'd like to rent a car and tour Hollywood so I went into the office and was met by an efficient secretary who was busy typing. When she looked up at me, I recognized Opal Stevens, now Mrs. Don Haas. She and Don had a very successful business and a lovely home. I asked Opal if I could rent a car and she picked out one of her very best models, a light blue Buick. I drove the car through the down-town business section and an inner f0rce Seemed to be guiding ne. for I had never been in Hollywood before and yet I felt as though I had been here many times. Before long I found myself on a winding highway with a lot of beauti-
