The Class Of 1934 In 1950 As the World's Fair was being held in San Fran- cisco, we decided to go. We boarded the train one morning and after inquiring, discovered that our en- gineer was Kenneth Laman. Upon nearing our first stop, the conductor came around yelling at top speed. It was Dale Plikerd. The train stopped at a small town in Missouri. Robert Shaffer, acting as a poli- tician, was standing near the depot delivering a speech to about ten people. On the opposite side, in the upstairs window, was Martha Craig dreamily reciting her latest love lyric, We hadn't noticed who had boarded the train, but it was surely brought to our attention. What a noise! It was the former Pearl Howell with eight or eleven children. Our route took us through Colorado. On a sign board along the railroad was The Simindinger and Rob- ison Ranch. We found that they were our two old schoolmates. Then, to our surprise. a man told us that they had married Gertrude Rohrback and Vio- let Wilkins. We wondered how Ivan Simindinger and Gertrude got along. Having decided to spend a day in Salt Lake City, we prepared to get off the train. We spent the day on the shore of the Great Salt Lake. We saw Ruth Metzger in bathing, and thought she must have come here to learn to swim. because she knew that she couldn't sink. She told us that Rosalie Hennon was president of a girls' academy there, We arrived in San Francisco in the morning and got into the nearest taxi. When we got out and paid the driver, we found it to be Mack Sutton. We went into the hotel and over to the manager's office. What a surprise when Joe Wright stepped forward. Another surprise came when June Core took us to our rooms. While resting we lis- tening to the radio. The announcer said that we would now hear the world's best crooner. It was Robert Mack with E'velyn DeLong as his accompan- iest. We listened to them as long as we could stand it, and then changed to something else, We heard someone talking about giving children sun baths. It was Annadelle Detrick giving a speech on the care of children. The announcer then said that because of Eddie Cantor's illness, Howard Miller would take his place on the following Sunday night. After be- ing suificiently rested, we went to a beauty shop. We found Norma Miller and Edna May at our ser- vice. They told us that Mildred Moorman was man- ager of the dress shop around the corner. Then, for a look at the Pacific. On the shore we found a large crowd. On the platform was Robert Baldwin. He was being presented With the medal which iden- tified him as the world's champion swimmer. We decided to take a ride in a speed boat and went in Elmer Burnett's boat. What a ride! On the fol- lowing dav, before entering the grounds, we went into the planetarium and found Forest Wells to be the owner. We then entered the fair grounds and. of course, rented chairs in which to ride, and who should get the job of pushing us but Harold Mon- tague and Joseph Fisher. We supposed Harold was still trying to reduce, because he did look rather thin. We saw a clown running around on the fair grounds and finally discovered that it was Ned Zim- merman. He was advertising the best kind of shoe laces to use. We entered the Hall of Science and went to the manager's office to inquire about an ex- hibit. We found him sleeping. When he opened his eyes, it proved to be Ralph Hayman. In the after- noon we took a ride in the World's Fair Zeppelin. Raymond Lippincott was its pilot with Lois Major as hostess. Later we passed the Enchanted Isle for children. We read on the sign that Ruby Myers was manager. A little further on we noticed a small building built in the shape of a dog. The building belonged to Harriett Sherer. She was running a home for dogs whose owners wished to leave them with her while they were at the fair. On the next day, we went into the grounds through another en- trance. We walked a little while and then we heard someone saying, He1'e's where you get your cider and doughnuts. We turned to see who it was and there was Robert Price and the former Pauline Der laney. I guessed Pauline was making the dough- nuts, holes and all, In the commercial building we heard someone reading as fast as they could. It was Mary Price giving the dictation for the National Dictation Test. Buelah Brenneman was among those taking it. We found later that she had won the championship. It was about time for lunch so we Went into the nearest restaurant. Its proprietor was Leona Shepler. We ordered a chicken dinner, which we got, complete with feathers. The orchestra played while we ate, but there were may discords. When the leader turned for applause we saw that it was Isabelle Goodwin. In the afternoon we saw a stand where pop guns were being sold. The stand was operated by Theodore Miller and his wife, the former Sarah Ann Eisley, supplying the pops, The last day of our stay, proved to be an enjoyable one, too. In the morning we listened to a Welsh chorus under the direction of Ollen Jones. After this we went to Ripley's Believe-It-Or-Not building. In there we saw Paul Rahrig masquerading under the name of the One-Man-Band. He was playing six- teen instruments at one time. In order to relax be- fore our trip home, we decided to go to a Chapel 'meeting held on the fair grounds. The principal speakers were Wanda Thompson and Armand John- son. The choir leader was Nina Miller. Seated at the organ was Elsie Leis, In the middle of the meet- ing she started playing, Hail, Hail The Gang's All Here. This was such a shock to us that we both fainted. When we gained consciousness we were in the fair-ground hospital. There, bfore us was Har- old Mechling in a doctor's uniform with Ruth Brooks as his head nurse. On the following day we set out for Spencerville. We thought that the trip had been enjoyable and profitable for us, two well-preserved old maids, Opal Davies and Jane Burnett. Page Thirteen
