Mr. Hobbs finds Billy in his office and congratulates him on his new assignment. Crossing the State line of Texas. Mr. Hobbs decides to spend the night on a Dude Ranch.” After searching for an hour or so for one that looks suitable, he walks up to the reception desk only to be flatly refused a room. He is told that the ranch is strictly for women, as its owners, Doloris Fulton and Georgeanna Walker, arc man-haters. Mr. Hobbs, however, is an old friend, so he is given a guest room and is entertained the following day by the girls giving an exhibition of their riding ability. He thanks them for their hospitality and journeys on to his next stop which is Atlanta, Georgia. Before leaving on this trip, he was told that Phyllis Hiatt had built a training school for models and was turning out the prettiest models in the south, so Phyllis is next on his list. His visit with Phyllis is rather brief as he anxious to be on his way. South Carolina is his next stop and the cotton fields look very pretty at this time of year. By this time the jet has had quite a flight, so Mr. Hobbs decides to have it checked before going any further. The largest garage in Charleston sends one of their best mechanics out to the field for this checkup. When he arrives, Mr. Hobbs sees that it is the energetic Joe Edward Shephenson. Joe has made a success of his work and is very proud of his reputation. Mr. Hobbs then inquires if there arc any more of the class anywhere near, and finds out that Hugh Little has just moved to the city about two weeks ago to start up a business manufacturing a new kind of false teeth which arc controlled by radar. They do all your chewing for you so you don’t have to wear down your jaw muscles anti this in turn prevents those ugly wrinkles that everyone tries to prevent. Here Mr. Hobbs also learns that John Brandon, who is now a civil engineer, passes through the town every day on the way to his work. When the plane is finished, Mr. Hobbs climbs aboard and heads toward his next stop which is Mississippi. Many new houses arc being built in this valley, so he stops to look them over. While doing so, he finds Ed Long working on a six room bungalow. Ed has been doing this kind of work for years and he says that he has seen much of the country traveling with his company. A new army camp has also just been built along the river coo, so an investigation of this is his next activity. Going into a drug store on the grounds, he meets Carrie Michael Wallen, who tells him that her husband has made a career of the army and that this is to be his permanent station. Carrie tells him that she has just received a letter from Donnadcc Campbell, who is now teaching Government in Concord, New Hampshire. Also in Concord is Winona Hoover who is head nurse at the Concord City Hospital. After talking over old times with Carrie, Mr. Hobbs purchases a magazine anti retires to his room for the night. Looking at his magazine before going to sleep, he is startled to read that Betty Mossburg is now at the head of the largest Lonely Hearts Club in America. The next morning we find him hurrying into the Hotel Diner for his breakfast. He is greeted by a cheerful “good- morning” by Wilda Beam who tells him that she has been the receptionist here ever since the summer following her graduation. Wilda is very busy, so he stays only a minute. His next stop is Kentucky. Landing in Louisville, he starts on his search for Joanne Barrick, who is supposed to have a public stenographers’ office somewhere in the city. After finding what used to be her office, he is told by a passer-by that Joanne left for Washington last week to be the Vice-President’s private secretary. Crossing the State line o cr into the “old home State,” Mr. Hobbs slows down his plane as he wants to pass over the largest chicken farm in Indiana. Mr. Hobbs already knows that Maurice Barker owns the farm, so he doesn’t take time to stop for a visit. Maurice sends chickens all over the United States and has built up a wonderful business. After landing in Indianapolis, Mr. Hobbs takes his car to continue his check-up. Stopping at a farm near Westfield, he finds Marilyn Pitts Bouse writing a pamphlet concerning agriculture. He is very proud of Marilyn as she has the honor of being the second lady to be appointed to the President’s Cabinet. Even though she is on vacation from her job as Scc-rctary of Agriculture, she is still devoting her time to her work. Before going back home, he finds it necessary to drive to Kokomo to see if Rebecca Bailey, along with her husband, still has the skating rink. Becky tells him that she likes the sport so well that she has decided to make it a lifetime job. Next Mr. Hobbs drives to Frankfort, where Lena Brown owns a drug store. Lena always did have a liking for Frankfort. so after graduation from college, she purchased the store there. Coming back from Frankfort, he passes a Mobile Oil truck with a driver that looks familiar. Of course we all know that it is Dortha Myers Pickett at the wheel. Don Johns has now taken over his father’s store at Ter-hune, so our ex-coach stops for a short talk. Don tells him that one of Helen Oberleas’ brothers was in and said that Helen had been hired to take the position of editor of the Ladies’ I Iome Journal. Helen has been quite a career girl and she deserves to be congratulated on handling her work and her job as a housewife also. Driving on Road 38 homeward, Mr. Hobbs passes the Tolley farm where Lawrence now lives and is rasing minks. Lawrence also built a storage for fur coats and stores any kind of furs from mink to muskrat. He says that he believes in keeping up both ends of the business. As Mr. Hobbs drives down Main Street, he sees Iva Mac Greeman with a large group of girls. Iva has been the 4-H Leader for several years and the organization has grown tremendously. He waves to her anti turns down Fifth Street toward home. As he walks into the living room of his home, he notices that his wife has a very distinguished visitor. For the first time in Boxlcy history, they have elected a lady mayor. Of course, we all know that the only girl qualified for this job is Carolyn Cline. Although Carolyn is quite honored by the election, she continues her little business which her mother left her of selling Linda Lee Products. After a very short talk, Mr. Hobbs retires, as he has had a very tiring trip. Being very well satisfied with the class of “49,” he has no trouble in getting to sleep.
