Pea Seated at the banquet, I found myself next to Lou Ann Cassell, owner of the Cassell Manor Farms, one of the largest in the country. It contains 15,000 acres on which graze 4,000 beef cattle and 200 dairy cows. She also raises everything from goats to guinea pigs. joe Dalton and Bill Polk are her farm managers, both having received Ph.D.,s from Purdue in farm management. just as Lou Ann finished telling me of her farm, Bob White and Doug DeBord entered and seated themselves at our table. They have teamed up and started building parts for hot rods by mass production under the name of Hot Rod Auto Co., Inc. Their hot rods are built for the rich young set and priced from 52,000 to Xi3,500. Each vehicle is guaranteed to run if properly assembled. They are completely different from any other hot rod on the road. Bob also publishes a hot rod magazine monthly with the help of Virginia Brown as editor. Bob reported that it has always been Virginia's secret ambition to be a race car driver, but since this is a little dangerous, she has had to settle for second best as a magazine editor. Upon reading the menu, I was surprised to see that part of the meat to be served was donated by Fyfe and Green, Inc., Meatpackers. It seemed hard to realize that Carolyn Fyfe is actually the head of a large meatpacking concern. Her present partner is Dick Green, but he is planning to retire and Dale Burton, first vice-president will take his place. It seems that Dick has made a million dollars, so he is going to take his money and go to Greenland to be a hermit. The toastmaster for the evening is LeRoy Modglin, who long ago became a famous modern artist. He is so far ahead of other artists that it is impossible for anyone but himself to interpret his drawings. However he is so absent minded that recently he showed the same picture twice to a well- known art critic, Bob Coats, and gave a different interpretation each time. Art critic Coates, how- ever reports that all truly great artists are absent minded and often forget what they were trying to represent. On the back of the program were ads from various business establishments. A large ad at the top of the page read, Enjoy Good Food -- Eat at the Dew Drop Innu - Proprietresses, Ruth Walker and Frances Vester, Recommended by William Maddy. Bill is a famous connoisseur of food. He has sampled food in approximately 75,000 res- traunts and recently published his second book on novel eating places. His first book sold 8,000,- 000 copies and his second promises to be even more popular. His book was used so extensively that even Rose Rhonemus, prominent politician, mentioned it in her last campaign speech. She said, quote, If I am elected as Dog Catcher for this fair city of Austin, Texas, I promise to feed the dogs only food from restaurants recommended by Wm. Maddy, unquote. Furthermore, she also stated in her campaign for the coming year, that she would catch all those vicious dogs which attack the dog catcher's wagon. Her assistants are Mary McFadden and Nancy McCord, who have a high interest in the well being of canines. As LeRoy Modglin, the toastmaster, introduced the speaker, Betty Franklin, he explained her work as governor of the State of Indiana and especially her interest in the common worker. She has done her best to pass legislation to provide a two-day work week. Needless to say, her attitude on the subject has done much to add to her popularity. Following the truly inspiring talk by Miss Franklin, Evelyn Groscost showed colored pic- tures of her work in Africa as a missionary. Evelyn has become famous for her activities and travels. She has a private plane and makes at least one trip between this country and Africa each month. Another of the ads on the back of the program read - Shop in comfort in the Ashcraft Co., in the newest, most modern department store in Royerton. Owned and operated by Duane Ashcraft and Bob Dotson-This department store chain was started in 1953 as a variety store with Nancy Joyce as the only clerk. Now Nancy is the second vice-president of the company. Mary Jane Leamon and Pat Collings are the secretaries to Bob and Duane, having started working for them 25 years ago. The chain has become famous for its branches in the far flung parts of the world. The most recent venture has been to place a small store in Sibera which specializes in summer sports wear. Duane Clements, who is employed by the J. D. Ashcraft Co., made three trips to Siberia in the last few months to complete plans for the store. Following the banquet, I was surprised to see Ronald Mixell and Kent Trehearne, former basketball stars from RHS. Ronald spent a few years in college and emerged as a full - fledged mortician. Kent Trehearne has become his partner, and they have a very respectable, but rather dead business. They have chosen as their motto - We Live to Bury. Just as we were preparing to leave, an apparent stranger with a long beard, and his companion approached us. At first neither was familiar, but with the first word the stranger spoke, his identity was revealed. It was none other than Arvin Brokaw, world renowned scientist who recently discovered the scientific reason that razor blades cut. He was acompanied by his assistant Carolyn Anderson who has faithfully worked with him for 20 years. Arvin reported that according to his calculations the only member of the class who at present is not living in the States in Stephen Cook, Lieutenant-General in the army. He is stationed on Christmas Island in command of 75 troops. Bidding farewell to Arvin and Carolyn and leaving the familiar portals of RHS, we left. However, I would be the first of the class to enter Royerton, as I would be here again on Monday as a common, ordinary school teacher. -SALLIE WATT.
