PROPHECY 0F CLASS 0F 6'52 Our next stop is to be New York City. Don Bucher will meet us with his cadallic taxi and take us to the Waldorf Astoria Hotel, where we will meet Glenn Zimmerly, as manager. In the dining room, we are greeted by the host, Tom Bowman. Also, after our first fine meal at the hotel, we meet the dignified floor detective, Bob Conrad, who is chasing down some stolen towels. In the evening, we will attend a stage show by Danny Sauders and Glenn Swisher, who have run Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis out of business. No such trip, however, would be complete without visiting the capitol of our nation, so we head for Washington, D. C. Steve Burington is now Secretary of Treasury of the United States Government. Twila Conrad is his capable secretary. The treasury has made great increases, during the time that Steve has been in office. We visit many great buildings in Washington, among them the National Art Gallery. Here we view the great masterpiece of Modern Art, done by Gene Caskey. He got his start in this field of art, when he spilled the paint one day. When we visit W. W. V. A., we will see Ruby Zimmerman featured as their hillbilly star, who has wooed many a young man by her wonderful rendition of Pistol Packin' Mama. We are southward bound now, as we head for Florida. Here we find hand- some debonair, Dick Marthy, lolling on a beach with many pretty debutantes near at hand. He is on one of his many extended vacations in the height of -his glory. We visit the winter quarters of the Ringling Brothers Barnum and Bailey Circus and here we see Bob Lonier, giving out with the encouraging yells of 'tCome to the Big Top. We go in to watch the aerialists and soon we recognize Melf-Uwe- Lorensen, who has returned to America from his homeland of Germany and taken up the life of the circus. Gymnastics was too calm for his high spiritedv blood. There is a National Home Economics Convention in Florida and I being in- terested attend a session. Then I see Mary Ann Hostetler, who is a teacher of Home Economics and has brought her youthful girls to it. Dick Kinney, who is atraveling salesman and who can relate many Dagwood- door experiences, We can only hope to meet on the train, as we start west. We arrive in Tucson. Arizona, where We have a short layover and meet Rog J ohnson, who is stepping off the train and is about to leave for Training Camp with the Cleveland Indians. Rog, as many of you know, is a pitcher and has by far out- done the once famous, Babe Ruth. A little farther north in Arizona, we visit a great construction project. It is a bridge that spans the Colorado River and is made of plastic in its newest form. The plans for this were drawn up by Carl Gerigg Don Dravenstott is the Builder. In Utah, we visit the Steiner Brothers dude ranch with its spacious and beau- tiful scenery. Mary Jane Johnson and her husband are here soaking in their health vitamins. We start off on horse back along the old bridle paths and the trail leads us up hill and down. My horse is no easy rider. Ruth! Wake up! What do you think you're doing, riding a horse? , said Ronnie. What?-Well,- I guess I was. We had just passed Frank Carney's shack, where he works on his comic strip 'Leapin' Liana's Lingo. Wasn't it fun, Ronnie? , Ruth said. What? Oh! I guess it was just a dream. But let's take a trip like that some day. When our ship comes in, of course. And she told him of the many adventures in her dream.
