We decided that we should hire a gondola to sightsee in Venice. We went to the largest gondola boat line in Venice and who should wait on ui but Marilyn Wamke, the owner of the company. Marilyn operates the company in her spare time since she lives in Austria where Bob K. is stationed in the armed Forces. We thoroughly enjoyed our ride but finally had to bid farewell and board our plane for Spain. A fiesta was underway in Madrid and everyone said we should attend the bull fight that afternoon, with many doubts as to whether I would enjoy it, we went - and found Jon Fink to be billed in the main feature fight. Anxiously (and fearfully) we awaited the main event; and when it came, Jon entered the arena confidently challenging a white bull. Jon proved the master of the situation and in no time had conquered his foe. With all this excitement over, we decided to head for Africa. In Tanganyika we found Jack Chittick and Jo Ann Allen patiently teaching the Hottentots scientific farming. Jack has come up with several new ideas in farming but he’s trying them out on the savages first. In the Gold Coast we found Jerry Reed practicing medicine. It seems Jerry had come to this country for three reasons . First, to practice medicine: Second, the name Gold Coast fascinated Jerry, who was always looking for an easy fortune (In his spare time he mines for gold); Third, being a staunch Democrat Jerry just had to go some where to escape the Republican administration. Leaving Africa we headed for Arabia. Here we found Yvonne Edgerton in the harem of The Sheik of Araby. In- cidentally, she was his favorite wife. We thought this situation was quite reversed since it was Yvonne who usually had a flock of boys dangling on a line. During a short stop-over in Afghanistan, we met the famous atomic energy scientist, Dave Hoffman, who was working for the government of Afghanistan. The poor natives hadn’t heard of atomic energy until Dave happened along; so he decided this was an easy job and the place for him to stay. Next we flew to India and while walking through a narrow winding street we found Marianne Mangnall playing her clarinet and charming snakes! Marion K. surely must have changed some of Marianne’s attitudes since high school days. In Burma we found (of all people) Ardell Tegtmeier acting as a safari guide into the jungles and her specialty was hunting elephants for ivory. What a change! Our plans called for Siberia next and after crashing through the iron curtain (we made a big hole in it) with some difficulty we reached our destination. Imagine, we saw Gary Pattison working - in the salt mines that is. This is the only job Gary has held for any length of time. The atmosphere here wasn't too inviting so we left for Japan. We arrived just in time to see Japan's lady wrestling champion, Joan Hays, go into action. We understand Joan has her eye on the world's title, and after seeing her in action we believe she can do it. We toured the farm where Elda Tegtmeier raises silkworms and orange tea. Elda informed us that the one thing that has had her baffled for ten years is hov to eat peas with chopsticks. Our next destination was Singapore. There we found Orleuc t-rank operating an exclusive and swanky night club. From the looks of all the money being spent. Orlene must make a small fortune every night. Our next stop was in Australia. Out in the middle of nowhere we found a huge ranch where Darlene Anthol raises kangaroos for all the leading circuses in the world. Darlene started to raise horses but switched to kangaroos when she found they were always one jump ahead of horses. While we were in Australia a special bulletin came over the radio that the famous explorer, Edgar Bredemeier, had finally reached the south pole and had set up a village, Little Pawnee , somewhere in the antarctic. We would have gone to see this but we didn't know the exact location. Heading our plane northward, we next landed in Hawaii. Roger found the hula dancers to be the most entertaining and we noticed Loretta Oenbring was one of them. She explained that she was working while Don K. finished his term in the service. Leaving Hawaii, we continued on our way to Nicaragua in Central America. Here we found the Dirt-Cheap used car market owned by Francis Oenbring. Wondering if we could rent a car, we went to talk with Francis and he was glad to oblige. Business had been good. Francis said, and he was having the time of his life (sounds just like him). Taking our used Cadillac, we drove to the studios of SWW3-DTV (Spanning the World With 3-D Television). Bruce McClintock was the owner, operator, and inventor of 3-D TV. Our last stop before going home was in Canada. Arriving there, we obtained the help of a mounted policeman to guide us through some of the country. Leland McClintock turned out to be the guide and I have never heard him talk so much before as he did while taking us sight seeing. Leland must really enjoy his work! Back in New York City, we arrived in time to hear the famous pianist of Carnegie Hall, Metropolitan Opera Company, the New York Philharmonic Symphony. Katherine Peckham. giving her annual piano recital. Backstage, after a splendid performance, Katie talked about her career and family faster than we could listen. The next day we boarded our plane for our flight to Pawnee City. We stopped in Lincoln long enough to watch the great Pawnee basketball team, coached by Lowell Johnson, win the state tournament. Next year Lowell plans to complete work on his course in medical and physical therapy. After reaching Pawnee City our trip ended. From there Roger flew back to his business and airport in New York. Thus ends the tale of the future of the thirty-five seniors in Pawnee City High School of 1954. P.S. I got my Master's degree. How? Don’t ask me! Donna Preston
