A TRIP TO CALIFORNIA IN 1935 One day in spring Phelps Wilder rushed into the offices of the Dean Durham and Company and presented to them a plan of going to California in Phelp ' s brand new shiny Ford. After Greg and Lud had heard the plans they both consented to go in one breath. We ' ll start tomorrow, said Phelps. One day they were speeding along a nice smooth road, when Carl Koch, speed cop, arrested them. They were taken before D. Davis, judge, who let them off. When racing through Wyoming they just missed hitting a cowboy who proved to be F. Preston. Upon reaching Salt Lake City the boys went to see a circus where they saw Allen Ferry, strong man, lift great weights. That night after the boys had had their supper they went to see a boxing match. When they got there they were astonished to see J. Bersback knocking the heavyweight champ all over the ring. The next morning when they were roaming the streets they came upon H. Lackner and S. Webster giving a puppet show. Then the boys left Salt Lake City and went to San Francisco. While the boys were at San Francisco they went to see a vaudeville where they saw an accordion act featuring H. Warren and R. Sellery. After some deliberation the boys decided to go home by train and so Phelps sold his Ford to Maxwell and Shimmin, dealers in second hand merchandise. After selling the car the boys went to the bathing beach and went on the pier where Phelps immediately fell in. He was rescued by H. Curran, life guard. Lud hailed a taxi and all the boys were driven to a Benson and Rixon two-pants suit store by M. Millard, taxi driver, where B. Benson sold Phelps a suit. When the boys were on the train going home they decided their trip was very successful because they had had a good time and had met their classmates who were at North Shore in 1927. Page 30
