.qbfzopllecy Last summer I won a trip 'to the World Fair by writing the best 25 words to complete the sentence-I like Gritty Maid toothpaste because- -- - I took the first train to New York and was soon at the fair grounds. I saw nearly everything the first day but was tired to death that night. I went back early the next morning to resume my sight-seeing. The first thing I came to was a fleet of beautiful shiny airplanes in a field with a sign on the gate which said, 'LTake a trip into the future. Find out what you and your friends will be doing in 1950 for only 35.00. Thinking it would be interesting to know the future of all my class, I paid the fee and climbed aboard. Then, piloted by a 'handsome young man, the plane was off with a roar. The first stop came very soon at New York City. Here I found Milton Scheerer working on the editorial staff of a big New York Daily, for which position he was very well qualified, having been the editor of the Mustang Round-up for some time. The airplane industry had made great strides in ten years time and Twila Williams was piloting a fine plane, The Liberty Express, carrying passengers and freight all over the world. On her plane, which was about to take off, Lorene Issler was a passenger. For due to her nose for news, she was an Ace reporter and was flying down to Rio for a big scoop about a Portuguese family row. While nosing around the machine, I accidently came upon a stowaway. This was Don Bulin, who was going to South America to look for a job as a gauche in the pampas. He felt himself to be very competent as he had taken 12 easy lessons in Hi-Yi-ing. In the Empire building I came across Leila Busse, a professional typist in the office of a big business executive. In the Grand Central Station I met Mary Jane Weston and Ellie Marie Sheridan, who had just completed a season of Grand Opera, and were on their way home to Grafton to resume the singing of lullabies. Next I Hew to Washington, D. C., and alighted with eagerness to find who was there. In a short time I met Helen Dickson on the street. She was at- tending a National Convention as she was the Nebraska State Director of Women's Project Clubs. At the capital I found that Don Ochsner was a United States Senator from Nebraska, who had gained an easy victory with the slogan Honest Don, his face is his bond. Here I also found Billy Swanson who was in charge of a new government department, the L.F.A. which stands for Ladies First Always. As I had a great desire to learn whether any of my classmates had crossed the ocean, we immediately headed out over the Atlantic and in a very short time had landed in Europe. The first one of our class that I met was Melvin Levander. He was touring Europe on a motor scooter which he had named Stellie Marie. This he informed me, was Latin for Star of the Sea. Artis Johnson had gone to Switzerland to organize 4-H clubs. She seemed Continued on Page 31 wif ll 250-
