Doris Slawson Tearlien In today's lecture we are going to take an imaginary tour around the United States. Everyone should know about this country we live in.

Also in our travels we are going to visit cities that are now the homes of certain people who once went to this same school. l believe that these people were graduated in the year 1938. That class has spread all over the country. I'm sure you must have heard about the famous class of '38. Sieve: Say, thatfs the year Red Best was graduated. You know the fa111ous first baseman for the Deroit Tigers Tenclzeiz' You should know someone else too, the New York State Senator now in Washington, D. C. Angie: Mr. Paul Vadnais? ls he from Rensselaer High School? Suzebel: QRomanticallyj Uh huh! And his fiancee was graduated then, too. Eleanor Faas is her name. Tenrlier: Well, now you can see that there are famous people scattered all over who used to co111e to this school, who even sat in these very seats you're now occupying. Shall we start? Have you any choice about the way we travel? joe: Yes, I'd like to leave from the Albany Airport. A fellow by the name of George Rajkovich is a grease monkey up there. Tenrlier: All right! Now imagine we're flying. Think our altitude is 3,000 feet and our speed is 175 miles per hour. Our pilot is Ed Bell, flying one of Canady's planes. Suzebel: Are we going to eat at the Kathabel Cafe ? That belongs to the Phelan twins. Angie: All you thing ol' is eating. l'm eager to see some of Miss Irene Hewitt's paintings at the Museum of Art.

Teru'l1er: Children! I appreciate your enthusiasm and l'm glad you know so many alumni but you can scarcely call the work of these serious. You should have less levity. Know people whose work is really important. Such as-ah-ah. Suzebel: Dick Carlson is still trying to get a date with her.
