The name Derby seemed to be Eamiliar to me so I inquired at the information bureau oi the airship company on the main street floor. I here found the building was the prpelity of my old classmate, Art Derby. The following day I called on Arthur ' and he told of his purchase of the Wrigly Chewing Gum Company on January 1, 1940. He stated he had consentrated on the fact that he might as well pur- chase the entire Wrigly Gompany, thus reap profit from his unbreakable habit of chewing gum. He had inherited several million from relatives which aid- ed him in this great undertaking, and had purchased the present Derby building recently, as the office for such ride h ay. I piloted space in the old location was not suitable a business. Arthur invited me to stay and home to dinner and spend the rest of the d concented, and to my great surprise Arthur his own machine, not his same old Oldsmobile with its four wheel brakes but the same conpanies latest model, the most modcnn machine on the market, the dangerless nirship with e capacity of seven passenge gers. O yes! Arthur told me all about his matri- monail affairs. He married Miss Thelma Bergren an- other of our school friends. They had had a wond- erful happy married life and had raised a boy and a girl. The boy has finished his college education and is working in the office of his father, the girl is e Sophmore in the State University. On my arrival at Arthur's home Us drove the aeroplane in- to the garage which was situated on the top of his home. He had a beautiful place constructed of brick and furnished with the best and most magnificicnt furniture I have ever seen. Thelma was very much startled at my arrival. We surely spent a most cn- joyable evening. After,Dinner we listened to the radio. I was speechless, when I heard the inagur- ation address of the new president of the United States and who could it be but another of my high, f' X ,Ml PA

Arthur said he had received a letter a few days ago from a party with whom I was-well ac- quainted with in Peshastin. I was eager to know all about it, so he found the letter and gave it to me to read. What! From our old pal, Ralph Springer. The letter was of very much interest to me. Ralph had worked several years on the farm at home to earn enough to continue his education. To my great surprise Ralph was now.teLching at Yale University and teaching the very same subject he so much des- pised in our class in high school. Why, the old boy was and honest to goodness Physics professor. He had, after completeing high school, began to fight for the things he so much disliked and when he started college he continued this individual struggle. Before long he was deeply interested in Physic's and from that time on he won out against the things he had so much dispised during his young er days. Art said Ralph taught in several small schools and had been so successful that he asked to teach at Yale. He has now been there
