They went to Madison Square Garden and had the distinct pleasure of seeing Marion Kid Clemens win the middleweight championship of the world. On arriving at the airport to resume their flight, the flyers were delighted to see Nancy Lane, famous aviatrix, land. After greetings were exchanged, the flight was resumed. A brief hop into the New England states was next scheduled. Within a short time the old boys arrived in Boston. There they looked up the famous poets, john Attenweiler and Robert Poe. Clarence Reck, the humorist, was in Paris at the time on his vacation. Harold happened to see Pauline Gray and Ruth Luckey, who are stenographers for the famous Heinz's company, now managed by Thurman McClay. John Picker- ing, who manufactures the famous Pickled Pickles, was also sought out. Again the Ford tri-rnotored plane took to the air, this time on a straight hop to Miami, Florida. As they flew along, the conversation was resumed about the class of 1933. Harold happened to have in his diary a list of those of that class, so it was decided to check through it and find out, from their general knowledge, what each person was now doing. Following are the results: Iohn Brumbaugh is an old hand at cow-punching and owns a cattle ranch in Wyoming. jack Battson is general manager of the Atlantic and Pacific company. The famous basketball team of Ohio State is coached by none other than Russ Beaver. William Burr turned out to be an inventor and came forth with a perfect mustache schooner for 3.2.
