After they landed at the new airport which was built south of town they went uptown. They met Marjorie Iohnson coming from the doctor's office. She told them she led a very happy life as Miss Glass's nurse maid. They were glad to be back, so they decided to walk around a while to see if things are as they used to be. Upon meeting one of Dale's former girl friends, he stopped to talk to her. Bernice patiently waited for Dale to conclude his conversationg and after a two hour wait, she WCIH back to the airport without him. When he finally arrived, they got into a heated argument and Dale admitted he still loved the other girl. Bernice was heart broken, but she told him she would give him his freedom. They took off for Reno the following morning. When they arrived, they went immediately to the court house. As they entered the court room. the judge was just coming out of his chamber. To their surprise it was none other than Orvil Scherrer. They were so happy to meet him, they forgot all about their quarrel. After they talked with Orvil for a short time, the four. tired, but happy people hopped the last plane for New York and home. BY Orvil Scherrer Anita Lindemann Thelda Phillips Eileen Springer Donald Herman Eleanor Werling Faculty Poem Students and faculty alike. As everyone over the nation. Have joined in our daily fun. Playing the Game of Education. The faculty have taught us much, By their patience, guidance and advice. They've taught us rules and regulations, Not to break them: and always think twice. Sometimes we think they're so crabby. They show us no respect. With paper throwing. chasing, yelling and such, VVhat more can you expect? Sometimes they seem to be so cruel, I'll tell you why it's so, VVhy I just asked lane what the lesson was! And teacher said. 'To the office you go. Theyive scolded, spanked and joked with us Oft' times we were afraid. But not for a million dollars, Would we any of them trade. Each teacher has left with us. Lessons that we'll never forget Spiritual, physical, both taught And the impression left permanent. Thanks from the bottom of our hearts! And as life's scale we climb, We'll remember your tasks and ours In Gods eyes-are sublime. By Phyllis Furthmiller Page I9

Upon arrival at Borneo they met Naomi Simerman and Audrey McAfee, who were both happily married to two native men. They told them that they had taken Ll trip a couple of years after they were out of school and had ended up in Borneo. lhey said that they were both very happy. Their husbands were both crab fishermen. l'hey wanted to stay longer, but their time was getting shortg so they were soon on their way to Calcutta, India. Here they saw Dale Amburn selling rice to the Indians to make enough money to support his three wives. He invited them to his home for lunch. To their surprise his three wives were none other than our former class- inates, Dorothy Confer, Mary Reed, and Vonola Barkley. Upon leaving at the scene of a radical fight between the three girls over Dale, they left for Tokyo. After leaving the airport at Tokyo, they looked for a way to get up town. At the edge of the airport they saw Lloyd Yager renting bicycles. so they rented four and rode with him. Being evening, Lloyd and lules were not the best of friends because they were both in love with a girl called, The rose of Tokyo. Yes, you guessed itg she's Ruth Smith. After spending the night in the Hotel Honshu, they proceeded hack to the airport to continue their iourney, their next stop being Moscow, Russia. When they arrived in Moscow, they were told it was a big holiday. People were dressed in brightly colored clothes and the streets were crowded with dancing and happy people. Wandering alone the crowded or white way. they met none other than Patty Yager. Faye Elliott and Bernadine VVerling sitting on satin cushions watching the activities. They told them they had gotten tired of American men or the American men had gotten tired of them, so they decided to go far away and be old maids and live together. The following day they arrived at Paris. France. Mrs. Wilburn decided that she needed a new hat to hnish the trip. They went to the Thrift Ship to look for a hat, when Phyllis Furthmiller came out to wait on them, she was very glad to see them. The excitement brought two more girls, whom they knew a Avis Kav and Erma Werling, graduates of '46 from O.H.S. They chattered a while, but as the time was passing by, they had to leave soon for Belgian Congo. After landing they were greeted by Bruce Hunter and his wife, Eileen Springer, selling Renuzit to the Natives, to make a living for their four children. They in- formed them that two other classmates, Donald Herman and Thelda Phillips were living in Brazil. Since Brazil was on the way home they decided to stop fora couple hours. Upon arrival, they met the two familiar faces, but they were sorry that they could not invite us to their home, as they were too busy gathering their coffee beans, so they left for Miami, Florida. Here they saw many wonderful orchards of oranges. They watched the orange pickers for a while and discovered Ray McGee, the supervisor of the crew. He told them he came here during the orange season, but went back home to Ossian, where his wife and three children are after the season is over. They had to leave before they were ready because of an approaching storm. The storm caught up with them and forced them to land in Richmond, Virginia. After the storm they decided to look around and see the town. ln the local butcher shop they met Anita Lindemann buying her weekly supply before she went back to her job as the keeper of the city grave-yard. Since she had a lot of graves to dig. she had to leave them. The storm was over now, so they started for Ossian.
