We ate dinner in Oklahoma, and then we journeyed on to Iexas. we arrived in Amarillo that night, where we stayed all night. Early the next morning we left for Dallas. We arrived there about noon and upon inquiring we found out where ,. g petty worked. We found Betty in her private office. After we talked awhile with Betty she informed us that she was mar- ng --ed to her boss. So, she started with us to New Mexico to lock up Herbert who was in the Marines. We arrived in Santa Fe where Heroert was stationed the next night. Herbert was on guard duty but would be off in about 5 minutes. So, we desided to wait. When Herbert got off duty we all decided to go eat supper together. Her ert couldn't get a furlough, to our disappointment, but he informed us that Don Martin was in the levy and stationed in 1 San Diego, California. So after telling Herbert farewell and wishing him the best of.luck we were once again on our way. We stopped in Arizona, for the night in the town of Phoenix. Early the next morning as we were going to breakfast we passed a building and on the window it said, 'Dewayne Lipp, Artist.n I wondered if it could be one of my former students. The boys, anxious to find out, went in- side to inquire and low and behold it was Dewayne Llpp that I had had in the class of 53. While having a nice chat with him he informed me that he had married the former Betty Holloway who also ha: been a student at Roll School. Dewayne told us that he couldn't go with us on our journey since his job took up -W rost of his time. So, after saying our farewells we went on 'nr to breakfast. After breakfast we again started out, and I f Ls 1- - ' U6a-6J toward California. We arrived in San Diego that night, and we decided to wait until morning to see Don Martin. Early the next morning we set out to see Don. When we got to the 1 Haval Center the boat Don was on was just docking at the har- bor. Don was surprised to see us, and we were all so surprised . to learn that Don is now a Captain. Since Don couldn't get a leave he was unable to go with us on our tour. After telling Don all the home news, which included the winning of the state basketball championship by Roll, we were on our way once again. Don had told us we could find Ethel in Seattle, Wash- 1 ington, so we decided to make that our next stop. After 'MW traveling for a couple of days we came into the state of Oregon. n Then dinner time came, and we found ourselves in the city of Portland. Je decided to eat and look the town over.

CLASS PROPEVSY I was on my vacation in 1965 and having a good time when garage which was in Detroit, Michigan I p1l'ed up at the D- Soto and Plymouth Garage The mechanic couldn't find tre trouble therefore he called the head mechanic Walking into the main office, I noticed a diploma bearing the name, 'Donald Carroll Head Mechanic ' My memory recalled a former student of mine with that name, and when the head mechanic walked in low and benol' it was Donnie. While Donnie was fixing my car he informed me that Fredrick lived in the next state, which was Wisconsin. So Don decided that he would take a little vacation and ride along with me to see the other students. Don told me he thought Fred Neesell owned a huge dairy farm out in the western part of Wisconsin. Upon inquiring we found the exact location, which was just a few miles northwest of Madison. We noticed in the distance many very large buildings. Upon arriving we read on the barn, 'Fred Heeeell Jr., Dairy Falry'. We arrived ln time for supper and Fred invited us to stay all night. We told him we had to be off early the next morning because we were looking up all the old senior class of 1955. After supper he showed us all his prize possesions. He said that he had to work very hard the last ten years to earn all this. So I asked Fred if he would like to ride along with us. Ee said he thought he needed a vacation so he said he would go. We started off for the Show-He-State, which is Missouri. We were going to look up my old student, Ronnie Lakin. Fred had told me that Ronnie was a salesman at Montgomery Ward in St. Louis. Fred also told me that Ronnie had married the former Barbara Elliott of Hartfond City. we decided we would stop for the night. I stopped to register at a hotel and noticed the name was 'Ross' Eoteln. I wondered if it could be Joan Ross, the student I once had. But when I went inside I noticed a man that looked very familiar to me. Upon inquiring I found out it was Joan's brother Dale. He said he and Barbara had gotten married and were the owners of this hotel. I told hir we were looking up all the old class of 1955. He said Barbara would be very glad to see me, so we went up to our rooms. Later that evening there was a knock at my door and low and behold it was none other than Barbara! To our disappoint- ment Barbara couldn't go along with us to visit the rest of the classmates because of the work that had to be done at the hotel. Aft6P having quite a chat with Barbara, she left and I retired for the night. Early the next morning, I was up and ready to go and, after saying goodbye to Barbara and Dale, we were on our Way. After traveling for miles we finally reached the state of Missouri. We found that Ronnie lived in St. Louis, I went to the store where Ronnie worked, but to my disappointment Ronnie could only spare us a few minutes of his time, for he was working on a big business deal for the company. It seems that Ronnie had been very successful with his work. After telling Ronnie of my intentions, I learned that Joan lived in Colorado. So I told Ronnie goodbye and the boys and I started out for Colorado. We arrived ln Denver the next day about noon. The boys and I I 'w 1 -1. .. .- :unusual ' 1 suddenly my car started acting up.
