SI-ENIOR IDR PI-IIECY Refliilillg that I was hopelessly lost in the maze of the African jungle, and nearly overcome by lack of nourishment, and want of sleep, I lay down under a giant rubber tree. As close friend to Amelia Earhart, I had accompanied her on a snail-collecting trip and had bee11 separated from her and our plane for two days. l knew Amelia would have a searching party organized for me soon, and that I would be rescued. Still, I had wandered far, in search of food, and was tired, so I decided to rest for awhile. I had no more than closed my eyes, when a beautiful fairy appeared before me saying, Come with me, I am taking you to see your old classmates of O. H. S. She helped me into her fairy ship and we started. As all of the boys and girls were located in the U. S., we flew straight to the New Y01'k AiFD0Pf- imagine my surprise at finding Ernest Stewart as a mechanic there.

o.H.s. TILLICUM 1932 and coming down the Great White Way, I was delighted to see a large lighted sign reading, Andrew Holderreed, World's Greatest Banjo Strummerf' I attended the show, and afterwards went backstage and talked with Andrew. He told me that Rosa Dahl had written him a short time ago from Boston, where she is private secretary to Algernon Vanderhoof. The next day I rode in the fairy ship to Chicago. Picking up the Daily Chicago Journal I was horrified to read that Carl Murray, one of the most noted gangsters of the city, had been wounded in a gang war, and taken to the Good Samaritan Hospital. I hastened to see him and was surprised to find Caroline Sanders there as Superintendent of Nurses. After talking for awhile she led me to Carl's room, and there we found Orval Norman visiting him. He, too, had come by plane from New York where he is a prize-fight promoter in Madison Square Garden. We had an interesting visit reviving old times and were ready to leave when Carl's doctor entered. I didn't recognize him at first, but as soon as he spoke I realized he was Albert Ostergard. Hastening westward, I paused for a few minutes in Seattle. Going through the market I nearly ran into Carroll Chance, loaded down with packages, a perfect example of a hen-pecked husband. He was very glad to see me, but when I asked him about Elizabeth Porter, he told me he hadn't seen her since graduation night ten year ago, but had heard that she was teaching in the Ozark Mountains. From Seattle I flew to California, stopping at Stanford University to greet my old chum, Ethel Spencer, who was Dean of Women there. I also found Karl Blechschmidt there as football coach. Ethel got time off and accompanied me to Hollywood. That evening we attended a night club famous for its flaming haired hostess, Ruby Bell. On the street the next day we met Kathleen Clarke who told us she was working as an extra in the Covered Wagon. She said her duty was to sit in the wagon. Passing on we noticed a sign reading Exclusive School of Dancing, Ernest Moe. Instructor. We entered and found Ernest teaching the Zephyr Dance to Harold Lloyd, Jr., Ethelmae Dolores Barrymore, and several other children. Ernest was very surprised and pleased to see us. I was saying goodbye to Ethel, when I felt someone shaking me. Opening my eyes I beheld Amelia standing before me. She had finally found me. Then I realized that llly trip in the afiry ship to see my old classmates was only a dream.
