where a grand state fair is in full swing. We are surprised and pleased to hear that a world-famous acrobat is to perform. We take our seats in the immense grandstand and watch with anxiety the daring feats of the acrobat. I glance at my program to find out his name-and there staring at me in black letters is the name, Carnera. Then I know it must be Ovid Smedstad. Can it be? My guess is confirmed when he comes out to make his majestic bow amid thunderous applause. We'll have to be moving on, so come along. Where are we going? To Chicago. Let's visit Northwestern Univerity. We find two of our old classmates as instructors here, Howard Jorgenson as Professor of Medi- cine and Kermit Wollan as Professor of History. We decide to remain in Chicago a few days to visit places of interest and hear the Chicago Civic Opera. We are delighted to find our old friend, Cora Pederson as Prima Dona of the now famous opera Madame Rosebud. After visiting many exclusive shops we happen upon one with an attractive sign bearing the name, Madame Louise. Something seems to draw us inside, and to our astonishment Madam Louise appears in person as Louise Nali, our former classmate. She seems glad to see us and informs us that Inez Sylvester and Myrtle Skaaden are her assistant buyers. We leave Chicago and go east to New York. Being in need of gas, we drive into a Skelly Service oil station. A familiar looking man steps out to our car and we recognize George Pederson. George seems to be con- tinuing in the work he began while at school. Arriving in New York City we see a wedding procession about to start. Being very curious we slip inside the doors of the massive church to get a glimpse of the members of the procession. We notice with grow- ing curiosity that the wedding is a double one, and that the grooms are surprisingly alike in appearance. Then we know who they must be. The Olmeim twins! Ssh---it is time for the brides to enter! Everything is so quiet one can hear a pin drop. Two beautiful, young brides are now enter- ing. But look---as we look from one to the other, we put our hands over our eyes---for the women are so identical that we think our eyes must be deceiving us. In the evening we attend a concert given at the great New York City Auditorium. The band we hear is under the direction of a young man, whose name we do not know, but who has attained great fame as the se- cond Sousa. As the curtain rises, we see before us in the flesh and blood, Arthur Nordberg. We learn that he has composed many new and brilli- ant marches, besides many popular overtures. We leave New York and travel southward to Florida. The hot, sultry weather obliges us to stop at a farm place along our way to rest in the cool shade and get some drinking water. We find, Myrtle and Olive Run- quist running this farm. They show us all their ducks and tell us that they have a very successful little duck farm. Now we are approaching a small village. We agree to visit some of the shops in the town, and find an almost unrecognizable Arnold Opdahl, as the butcher. Arnold surely has put on the flesh since he graduated. Now we make a big jump over to Italy. Here we find Russell Knutson a now excellent architect, in charge of the building of a new cathedral, which, when completed, is supposed to surpass the Cathedral of Rheims in beauty and splendor. We also find another old acquaintance here. Calvin Pederson is now Ambassador from the United States to Italy. Our last journey takes us to Paris, France. Here we find the last of the 1932 class. We attend a Revue of the Follies at a large theatre in Par- is. Clara Kjonaas is one of the famous dancers. Now that we have completed our journey and have taken a peep into the life of each member of the senior class of 1932, we see with satisfac- tion that everyone of them is doing his share to uphold his class motto, Honor Lies At Labor's Gate.

All right, be prepared to go into many parts, for they are widely scattered. First let's skip over to Switzerland. Isn't the scenery beautiful and the air stimulating? We are on a grassy, green knoll looking down into a deep ravine. But we are not here alone. Who is that pretty young lady yonder, sitting before an easel, painting? She reminds me of someone-let me think-oh yes, it must be Hazel Aronson whom I haven't seen for twelve years. We get a glimpse of her work and notice the striking resemblance of it to the scenery before us. Let us not disturb her-but let us move on for we have many places to go. Now where are we? We are back in the United States in a city in Idaho. As we are visiting the different places in the town, we chance to walk into the hospital. The head nurse who offers to show us around, we recognize as none other than Helen Aune. I always thought Helen would become a nurse, she had such quiet, winning ways. But stay-what is that we hear? Why surely-a church bell! Let's take a look into the church on the corner. There is quite a large congregation assembled in the pews, and as the stern-visaged pastor takes his position at the pulpit- we gasp, for we are surprised to see before us in a long black gown, Carl- ton Brevig. Let's hope he practices what he preaches! We close our eyes, and when we open them again we find ourselves on a large steamer headed for China. As we walk on the deck, we catch sight of the captain. He is very handsome in his white duck trousers and blue coat. Let's go closer and talk to him. Of course the handsome captain turns out to be Captain Torben Brenden. He always did look distinguish- ed in a captain's suit, didn't he? Well, here we are in China! Who knows, we may find some old ac- quaintance here. Sure enough l---in a Lutheran Mission we find Alma Gorder and Frances Erickson very much absorbed in converting the heathens. Frances whispers confidentially in my ear, that she and Alma had taken up this glorious work after abandoning the mere thought of men forever from their minds. They seem satisfied with their work. All right-ready. Close your eyes-zip-now open them-where are we now? Why of course on a large cotton plantation in Texas. All about us we see fields of snow white cotton. Upon inquiring of some men at work in the fields, they tell us that this immense farm is owned by Mr. and Mrs. Ernest Gorder. We are astounded to hear that Mrs. Gorder is the former Florence Hagen. Next we are taken to the White House where whom do we find but Har- riet Hagestuen, who has been happily married to the President for six years. Harriet's quiet and dignified manners enable her to adopt very well the distinguished position as First Lady of the Land. Let's charter an airplane to take us to our next destination, good ol' Starbuck. Our plane is expertly piloted by Ralph Swenson who has now become a world-famous pilot. He tells us of his non-stop flight from New York to Australia, which has brought him more fame than old Colonel Lindbergh ever had. Well here we are at Starbuck! My, how things have changed! The town now has a population of 2,000. We find Herbert Kirkevold as Presi- dent of a large new bank which he runs very successfully. We'll wager Herbert got his idea back in '32 when he was treasurer of the athletic association. All the people in town seem to be talking about the strong basketball team which the town now has, so we are instantly informed that it is Frank Noyes who has brought the team to success. Starbuck also has a new large hotel which is owned by Elvera Mickelson and Mable Nelson. Now our journey takes us about 150 miles southeast of Minneapolis J 4....m- Jo- .+ +A- -4-'1in..i- -0-4 + H En 'P'
