CLASS OF '36 coffee drinking movement in Russia. One of his eyes is somewhat black, but he re- fuses to make a statement as to the cause of his misfortune. Other visitors are Allen Lawrence, 1945 Nobel prize winner in the field of chem- istry; Elsie Eide, professional air hostess; Wyona Wilson and Virginia Pearsall, dress designers, and Grace Genung and Vadeina Gifford, who are instructors in a School of Charm. The next stop is the Oak Creek Canyon Inn, managed by Adeline Lenz and Bessie Johnson. Nearby is the large cat and dog hospital maintained by Bernice Lyons and Cleo Hewitson. After a day at Oak Creek the group journeys on to Montezuma's Castle which has been much improved. An escalator takes visitors to the ruins which have been enlarged and modernized by the government. Dorothy Webster, dietician; Sabina Nicoll and Doris Lange, managers of a business school for bachelors; Burke Cunningham, a second Einstein; Ina Dickerson, lion-tamer; and Jean Crozier and Edith Edwards, chewing gum demonstrators are there also. Suddenly the government guide directs their attention to a man surrounded by a group of Indians. It appears that the man, who proves to be Louis Balog, is trying to teach the Indians the Lindy Hop as he thinks their old dances out of date. Louis tells his old friends that he now does tap dancing and blues songs for a large cough medicine concern advertising over the radio. He also tells them that Henry Plummer is still searching for a woman with common sense. This is the last scenic spot to be visited as Patsy and Opal must make a hurried trip to Congress Junction to interview the great divorce lawyer, Thomas Hawke. MARGARET TINSLEY PAGE It

CLASS OF '36 riot so rush to the windows while the city’s policemen, armed with modern death ray machines, go out to investigate. An object is seen to be hurtling downward from the skies. It proves to be Marvellee Oliver, stunt parachute jumper, who has just leaped head first from a plane in one of her most daring exhibitions. As she nears the ground she demonstrates her extraordi- nary abilities with a few flips and side kicks. She finally alights on the arm of a giant sahuaro cactus. This act evidently displeases the gardener who is none other than Gilford Bisjak. Marvellee agrees to pay damage costs and “Gil goes away satisfied. In looking over the shopping district of Prescott the group finds that Delina Zanot. Bette Parsons, and Mike Miller are the co-owners of a delightful dress shop. Mike ap- pears to make money on the side by giving boxing lessons to women, and she has turned out many experts who claim that it is due to Mike that they live so peacefully with their neighbors. A trip is taken through the new jail. It contains every comfort and the inmates do nothing except acquire culture. Indeed some of the prisoners are so cultured that the visitors complain of feeling inferior. Fortunately, not one of the class of 1936 is found in the jail. On one street corner a crowd has gathered and there is much shouting. In the midst of the commotion stands none other than J. R. McDonald, leader of the powerful social reform movement which is sweeping the country. He is gesturing fiercely with one hand while he holds a pitcher of water in the other. He seems to be leading the people up to a fever pitch of excitement. Before leaving the city the vi:itors go to Nekkers Hill. Here they find Bob Perkins, the old man of the mountain, herding sheep. He tells them that the hill makes an ideal spot for a sheep ranch. From Prescott a trip is made to the Grand Canyon. After a pleasant meal at Bright Angel Inn, owned and operated by Jessie Maders and Mary Kmetich, the com- pany decide to view the canyon. They find its main attraction to be a huge Gorge Slide up and down which cable cars run continually, affording quick and comfortable trips into the canyon. Eugene McConnell, its inventor, operates the slide so that mule- shy travelers may visit the river. Allen Butterworth, electrical engineer, helped con- struct the system. Allen also manages the El Tovar Hotel in cooperation with Frances Yeomans. Ruth Pipes operates a modern beauty shop upon the very rim of the canyon where she spends most of her time telling of the approved styles in mustaches, sideburns, and goatees which are again popular. Pat Mcllvain lands his huge air liner while the group is still at the canyon. Among the passengers are Ted Kiehl, president of the World Bank in Switzerland, and Carl Stump, his bodyguard. Two other arrivals are Allwyne Stricklett. who is iust returning from a far-off mission, and Arthur Espinoza, big-time politician, who aspires to be gov- ernor of California. The reporter who dashes out to get statements from the visitors is none other than Margaret Tinsley, crack A. P. correspondent. The boys propose a fishing expedition to Morman Lake. Upon their arrival 'here they find an abundance of a large boneless species of fish developed by Thelma Had- lock, famous fish culturist. They find that Thelma is now working upon a fish that can be cleaned and cooked in three minutes. She got her idea from three minute oatmeal. Patsy and Opal decide to take a boat ride. Whom should they find at the beat house but Fred Patton and Charles Bobo, whose beards make them look like real hill- billies. Another visitor at Mormon Lake is Robert Oliver, who has been supporting the ■ Mil PACE 20
