Jessie Davis and Ruth Aud were world renown as artists, and that Frank Gunther and George Gowan owned ill f farms to which they devoted their spare time in raising mushrooms and silk-worms. H Y Is there many of the class who stayed at home? I asked. Why, haven't you ' - been back home? John asked. You would hardly know the town. Why the ' iii .S Stop I cried. I'll go and see for myself. ,Qi F51 Thus after leaving the. group I Iound myself in Owensboro. My first thought X was that the machine had failed me. But then I realized that it was indeed Owens- 't A boro, except that it was bigger and better. A great building stood where the old ffr Qi courthouse used to be, and on it written in large letters were two names that were . . al iii familiar to me- Robertson and Sharp Kentucky-Tennessee Air Line Co. Stepping Yip inside I met Carl Sharp. Ng Hello, he greeted me, it's been a coon's-age since I've seen you. Robert 'ai gr. . . . . 5. i Louis and I were talking about you this morning. Yes, it has been a long time, X gil X' I replied. How long have you and Robert owned this company? Oh, about five ml ggi years. We do not own all of the shares, however, as Carl Head and Stirman New- 'Vail , l ton, who are our pilots, own some. Then too, our stenographers, Miss Katherine Graves and Elizabeth Robinson, and our mechanics, Joe Head and Clyde Hallmark, ...V .X x- own shares. A ri Leaving Carl I walked out Frederica street intending to stop in the Whitely pf ' 2' Hotel. Instead I found a Horist shop jointly owned by Jack Smith and Maitland 5 1 Rice. Next door I saw Joe Daugherty 'running a Piggy-Wiggly store. , ,. 5' Joe told me that he was following in the footsteps of his father and now owned rf-' T l'l several stores. l' it-l Where do you get yogr groceries 'ZH I asked hiw. From the L. E. Produce Z j Co. a local concern owned y Ersa Leac and Lelia ard Evans. I buy all of the - Fi home products that I can. For instance, these fruits and vegetables came from L'-P f l farms owned by Nancy Bosley, who has made quite a success at truck ardenin . 'K , g 8' X , She has for her assistants Nina Pearl Bosley and Florence Arianf' T. E Upon leaving Joe's store whom should I meet but Daisy Mathley. Q ' What do you think? she exclaimed. After confessing that I had never been f-. 0 guilty of the misdemeanor glearned tchat Emily Taylor had become a prominent ' ls' coach and that Laura ruenke an Ellen art Smith were teaching at Tappa H lggdgu College li LSD Glancing across the street I beheld th? dfepot. Instead of the old shack stood a stately building. On the cornerstone the o owing words were inscribed. X If Erected in honor of 'Leyburne Westerfieldf architect. FQ Built by Cain and Hiter, Contractors. kg? Well! who would have dreamed that Neil Cain and Jimmy Hiter would have C' J if turned out to be contractors. ' N Nil' Entering the building I saw Claribel Curran and Lettye Crask busily selling fi tickets. N 'fl 3 T By this time I was pretty well tired out and decided to stay at the Owensboro I gd Hotel. Walking up I registered and started for my room, when suddenly a quiet Qfg, .S voice said, Where are you going in such a hurry? I turned around and recognized jg f Henry Bowling. Don't remember me ,do you? he said. , . J L Of course I do, but what are you doing here? Oh, I'm running this 'Con- F gy? sarn' placeg mostly in the ground, too. Leona Bruner is managing the dining room lm' W' for me and Emma Catherine Brown has charge of the entertainments. I pay them iw, if enough to break Bill Cravens, who incidentally is now the richest man in the XE, yt v world. lf L A Do you know anything about Anna Sue Baker and Louise Campbell? I asked. I believe they are the only ones of thebclass that I haven't heard from. gg 5.5, No wonder you haven't. They are oth a road. Louise is now in France deal- -.5 PW, ing with the interests of the Goodyear Rubber Co. Anna Sue married the Crown ,qi V N Prince of Rexsbourg and is living with him in his provinces, which include no man's ' 9 Eg., land and all of the North Sea. And to think Anna Sue has married into no- '72 V. bility. LR' Throwing the switch for the last time, I arrived in my study. My wonderful if machine had indeed been a success. It had enabled me to find out about all of my ,Q .Lil classmates, and had I the time to spare I could even have visited them. This was ' indeed wonderful. , . l 7 LQ, Well, are you going to stay up all night? a voice called. I turned-it was 2514 my wife. ' 'X is No, I answered, I am quitting now. My adventure is over. I then hung ' the picture in its accustomed place over the desk. The old H1927 class remains a i 4-, fond picture as it hangs on memory's wall. ,Nl 'IQ' Monroe Weill '27.
