v--gg, 'N Before reaching the coast we passed over a big chicken farm in Iowa whose owner was none other than john Harasymczuk. What ambition! Out in Hollywood we darted from one studio to the other. The photogenic genius at Metro was Robert Reiner, trying to make the glamorous star, Arthur Hyatt, look well in technicolor. With that red hair how could he miss? The musical director at Warner Brothers turned out to be Beatrice Leaver. She and the head costume designer Natalie Eaton were discussing their latest picture work. While flying a little south of the movie city our cloud nearly collided with the latest word in planes. I ducked, but joe only laughed. That Cavanaugh fellow cer- tainly knows how to build them. You mean joseph Cavanaugh? I asked. 'That's the one. I was silently astounded. His rival in the field is Richard Perry, when he isn't playing hermit in the Maine Woods. Likes to sleep you know. Yes, I remember. A sea gull passed us and I discovered we were out at sea. Looking down at Catalina I saw Kenneth Casey, managing his all star baseball team. Watch the man on third, Casey. Down south at an exclusive Florida beach resort I saw the distinguished socialite, Sarah Carlson, now married to a rich New Yorker. We had now landed and as I closed my eyes to the warm sun I was once more at the sign post. Thanks for the trip, joeg it was very enlightening. But what about Eunice Rasmussen ? Look at me closely, replied joe. Blue eyes and blonde feathers! Why Eun, I never would have guessed it! Now which way am I to go? Directly south, replied joe. aff fe G17 I f Q f

f 7f-C Colffsa A Ten years had elapsed since graduation in 1945 and I had just passed rather noisily from this Life on earth to a more sublime existence. When I awakened I was comfortably situated on a pretty puff of cloud just off the milky way. I stood up to stretch and bumped my head on a sign post. A wise looking bird, perched on top of it, laughed outrageously. Well, my friend, I said, very much annoyed, ls it that funny ? Not so funny as it's going to be. Look. With this he fluttered around the sign post. One arrow read Heaven , the other, Below . You have to choose , the bird said, almost happily. That wont be hard, I answered and turned at once towards the Golden Gates. Not so fast, chum. The Gods decided that before you go either way you can have one wish. What will it be? I pondered awhile before answering, I haven't seen any of my Class of 43 in Newtown since graduation. How about showing me what they're doing now? Right . At once a long fluffy cloud like limousine appeared and we hopped in. It ran automatically and we floated gayly towards earth. As we came in sight of New York, the car glided very low and my bird friend, whose name was Joe, pointed into a window on Wall St. In a very stylish office sat three men in conference. joe explained, That's Eugene Woodin, the prominent banker, William Rockwell, the philanthrophistg and Richard DiVesta, the modern Henry Ford. They're great contributors to business. Passing over the Metropolitan Opera House, we heard the critics exclaiming over Anna Griffin's success in Faust , Nice work, Anna. Circling towards Chicago we passed over several large farms. The beautiful places were owned by none other than Robert Leibold and Robert Mayer, famous horticulturists. In Chicago, Joe pointed out two of the professors at the famous Art Institute. They were Frank Miles and james Scanlon, now successfully happy. At a large theatre there we dropped in to see the star performer, Lorraine Shepard. The writer of her latest success was none other than Donald Smith. What a team! Before turning west we flew over Washington. Walking in the White House gardens were john Leavy, now president, and his able secretary, Muriel Person. They were conversing with two well known senators, Carl Berls and Norman Smith. Now who would have thought--? We must hurry! reminded joe and we continued. In St. Louis my feathered friend pointed out a Famous Girl's School which was ably run by Miriam Butensky and Alice Morgan. Their interest in books cer- tainly helped them to success. X fx
