As we board- ed the bus, we noticed that the driver wasQCliff Fivecoat. After talk- ing for a minute we took our seats. As the bus began to ove, we recog- nized the woman in front of us to be Carlene Falkenburg,!now Mrs. Bill Hess. They had two small boys under E that looked like twins. Bill had recently become President of the Egret National Bank in Nampa, Idaho. Our first stay was to be in Arizona. Barbara'Websteruhad written several months before and invited us to attend the grand opening of her world famous B bar W dude ranch which was to take place Feb. 20. The bus eased to a stop at a middlesized California town. We got off to stretch eur legs and netleed with a start thatqnavid Wardjwas selling newspapers, He told us he had had some hard luck and had to sell news- papera, to get back on his feet financially.

Prophecy Continued it was nearly time for us to get off. We checked in at the Hotel Plaza and after tidying ourselves, went to the hotel coffee shop for lunch. Soon a tall gentlemen walked in who we soon recognized to be Fred Hollinger. He 'said he was the house detective for the hotel and was Inves ga ng a rob- bery, which was reported by Shirle 0lson'Q now hirle Overl Some of her jewelry and furs had been stolen. It seems her s a become wealtlnf when his rank was raised to Fleet Admiral in the Navy. V After an enjoyable stay in Arizona, we traveled East. The next stop was at Chicago, where we arranged to ride on the lake in a ship. As we 'stepped onto the boat, there stood the captain of the ship, Herle Talkingonf' He stated that he got tired of farming and wanted to try some hing new. On Sunday we decided to go the huge Baptist Church. As the preacher walked out on the platform we unbelievingly saw ar es be orf We could say only a few words to him as we were all rushed for time. The next day we went sightseeing. As we were on our way to the Natural History Museum we recognized the tall thin traffic cop at one of the busy intersections to be'Tom Robertson.' About that time a taxi came whizzing through, and we caught? glimpse of the driver, who was Hubert Iverson. After a two week stay, we hurried to New York. The evenfng we arrIved, we bought tickets to the Barnum-Bailey Circus. After some trouble finding the circus grounds we finally entered the gate where we saw some elephants being watered. We went over there and who was watering the elephants but Don Blele. He told us his ship building hadn't worked out and he wanted to 55 cIose to his wife Wanda Olson. A huge elephant came lumberingby and rid ing gracefully on it's Sack wasQWanda Who became an elephant trainer. We had never seen anything like that circus. Before returning to our hotel we stopped at one of the small cafes. When the waiter came for our order he told us the owner Marlene Pennerf wanted us to have the lunch free and that she wanted us to come to her office for a visit. During our con- versation with her we found that Jane Canard was widely known clothing de- signer for one of the most exclusfve sEps In New York. It was time to continue our journey much to our dismay. Weunow headed for Washington D. C. We had received word that our classmate Carolee Healy was the new President's private secretary. We looked her up and had a long talk. She liked her work and said the pay was very satisfactory. Now we had to head West again for time was going swiftly. Late the next night we arrived in Mexico where we planned to see a bull fight. After we had been seated in the large amphitheater, an angry black bull charged in- to the arena and after him raced the fighter with his red cape. To our great amazement the bull fighter was Earl Lewis. On our way home, we again stopped in Southern California at a large orange orchard for some oranges to take home. When we were about ready to pick some of the oranges a gentlemen walked up and said for us to pick all we wanted. We weresurprised to see the owner of the orchard to be4C1air Ho kins,J He talked us into staying in town that night and attending a piy he was giving. We were a little shakey in the knees as we arrived at his mansion, but the evening turned out to be very enjoyable and the guest of honor was the lovely lady mayor,KEita Perkins? We arrived home a day early to rest up. Wgn Eula went back to the hospital on Monday they had a new nurse and a very good one too. When I asked her name she told me it was Norma Jean Woole B9 I was glad to hear that she was near enough for us to ee her once In while. Nothing had changed at mr office and Eula and Iwill both treasure the sights and memories of our trip. EMALOU BURRIS
