A young man, siTTing across The aisle, looks sfrangaly familiar, and when he speaks she recognizes him as Dick Arnold. You're going To sing aT The MeTropoliTan Opera House Tonighf, aren'T you? he asks. There are a group of us on The plane going especially To hear you. Shall we go To The recreaTion room? Perhaps we shall find Them. As They walk back To meef The resf of The group, Dick Tells her of his posifion as Mayor of RoyerTon. Upon graduafing from R. H. S.. I was unanimously appoinfed To ThaT office. My wife, The former Alvena STinneTT, and Mr. and Mrs. Orville Yohey, Mrs. Yohey was formerly JuaniTa McKinley, came wifh us. Here They are now. AfTer Talking over old Times, The hours quickly pass and The plane arrives in New York in a shorT Time.

The usher, very Tall and dark, is soon recognized as a graduafe' of The '45 class-Vernon Dean. He informs Them ThaT The manager of The Theafre is Bill Gibbs. Smiling confidenfially, Dean Tells Them ThaT Bill has iusf recenfly eloped wiTh his secrefary, Mary SmiTh.- They make an ideal couple, he says. By The way, if you'd like. l'd be glad To call Them. Soon Bill N and Mary ioin The group. Have you noficed ThaT The lead- ing characTers in This film were in our class? asks Bill. Norma Manring and Bill Buchanan each won The Academy Award This year.

AfTer The show, The group decides To go To resTauranT To eaf. As They sfand waifing for a Taxi, Alvena remarks how much cleaner The sTreeTs of New York are Than in RoyerTon. A small, bedraggled man, overhearing her commenf, says, Yes, They do look nice, don'T They? You know, when l was presidenf of The Senior Class of Royerfon High School in '45, l vowed l'd sweep Trash and scandal from The face of The earTh. He sighs deiecfedly, l've kepf my promisel Earl Tharp! They excfaim in unison. Tharp regisTers sur- prise when he recognizes Them. l iusT saw Wilbur Umberger awhile ago, he says. He's sure doin' a fine iob fixin' sTreeT-lighfs. I always said Wilbur would make a good elec- Trician. Meanwhile a Taxi has pulled up To The curb. and in a few minufes They find Themselves alighfing in fronT of El Puco , The largesf, mosT exclusive resTauranT in New York.

Remembering ThaT They would have To dine quickly, The group hurries info The resTauranT. The head waiTer, whom They recognize as Frederick Julius, shows Them To a Table. Fred informs Them ThaT RoberT Sfafford owns El Puco , and is financially successful. The orchesTra, having Taken an in- Termission, refurns To The sTand and begins playing.
