S gy OPHECY' Q CLASS PR f - if --LV-to oooo As I was walking to work one bright and sunny morning in 1962 at New York Citg a messenger boy approached me and asked if my name was Barbara Harmon. I told him that it was and he immediately handed me a telegram from Fresno,California. I hur- riedly tore it open, wondering who it could be from and what about. In a few mo- ments I found that it was from a friend of mine, Ruth Preisinger, who was employed as a secretary at a large firm there, asking me if I could take leave for a--while and visit her. She said that she may have a story for me. I, being a reporter was naturally quite curious, also anxious for the vacation. I called my boss at theof- fice of the New York Times and he said to go ahead. I decided to take my time tra- veling as I wanted to enjoy the trip. I was scheduled to leave on the Northern Pacific in about 2 hours. As I pack- ed a few things I stopped to turn on the television set. A ball game was being dm- yed between the New York Yankees and the Philadelphia Phillies. Just as I was about to switch to a different station I heard the announcer say, next batter Alvin Dale Schock, who plays centerfield for the Yanks. I was amazed because even though liv- ing in New York, I had not known this. I listened and watched carefully. Strike one---way out in the field. He got to first, second, third and home. He had made a home run and I felt really proud of him. A glance at the clock then showed me that it was time to leave for thestation. I soon stepped on the train and went whizzing on through much beautiful scenerymur til we made our first stop, which was at Pittsburgh,Pennsylvania. As Iwas getting off the train I saw a girl in a Wac's uniform getting on. Looking more closely I, recognized Ardella Schon. She told me that she was still in training and that she liked the work very much. She was now on her way to the West Coast for more train ing. Feeling very happy that I'd met her I walked down the street into the nearest drugstore to the phone to call my friend,Lillian Yesenko, who was a fashion editor for the Seventeen magazine. She told me that she was not too busy and asked me to come and see her for awhile. I did and we talked over old times until it was soon time for my train to leave. Lil said that she'd walk to the station with me. As we were waiting, a poor bum came up to us and asked us for a dime so that hecould buy a cup of coffee. I exclaimed, why, Jack Hawley, by this time he fished out his glasses. He told us that he'd been a bum ever since he was out of high school. We gave him a dime and then he sauntered off. Just about then I heard the conductor shout, All Aboard so I rushed into the train. I found a comfortable seat and pick- ed up a magazine. As I was looking very intently at it, I felt a tap on my should- er and someone said Hi . I turned around and looked into the face of Loretta Grosz I went back to where she was sitting, took a seat beside her and started talking. Loretta was travelling to the slum district of Chicago as a social worker.She said that she really felt like she was doing a worth-while job, spreading the gospel to the poor and unchurched. Our next stop was at Chicago so I bid Loretta good-bye and once more left the train for a town in which I thought I knew no-one. As I walked down the street, I kept my eyes open for a hotel. I had to find one as my next train wasn't leaving until 10:30 the following morning. As I was waiting in the luxurious lobby of a hotel I had located, I picked up the evening paper and glanced through it. As I turned the next page, I saw an art- icle headed, Richard Huston, Chicago Millionaire, back from vacation. I was quite surprised to see this and I decided to look him up the following morning. I asked a policemen to direct me to the home of the Chicago Millionaire and I soon found myself in a very exquisite home in the suburbs of Chicago. Richard se- emed very happy and told me all about his good luck with North Dakota oil. I left Chicago the next morning feeling very lucky to have met so many of my classmates. I3

I was getting quite tired when the train stopped at stopped outside of a small drugstore I caught sight of a and rabbit tails and a uJust Marriedn, sign. Then I saw the bride be, but Luella Grosz. I stopped and talked to Kansas City, Kansas. As I car decorated with thicans the couple and who should them for a-while. Luella, looking very happy, told me that she and her husband were honey-mooning in Kansas, but planned on making their home in Turtle Lake. They asked me to come to lunch with them, so we walked into the drugstore for lunch and whom should wesee butMdn- hardt Flemmer standing at the counter. After he had greeted us he told us that ne was a scientist, working on a wonderful cure for one of America's dreaded disease. He then said, goodbye, because he had to hurry off as his scientist friendfs were waiting for him to help them on an experiment they were about to conduct. I said goodbye and left, for it was time for me to continue with my journey. The conductor told me that the next stop was at Jackson Lake, Wyoming. I gazed out the window and saw a large ranch. It was then I remembered that this must be Jim Sellon's ranch, as I'd heard that he had a ranch near Jackson Lake, Wyoming. As we came closer I saw the large sign that read, nSellon's Double Bar Ranch.n I knew I couldn't miss this opportunity to see Jim so I asked the conductor to do me a fava' and drop me off here. This he did and I walked up the path to the huge house and rang the doorbell. To my surprise the quite surprised also, told me that he himself, then appeared, looking about cutest little redheads I'd ever seen, was foreman the same as door was opened by Alfred Schock. Alfred, here on Jim's ranch. The rancher ever. Behind him were four of Us looking just like Jim. As I looked around at the very luxurious furnishings, Jim smiled and told me that he had profited quite- a bit on his thousand head of full-bred cattle. I told the boys that I didn't have very long to stay, but I was really pleased that I had had a chance to come and mn them. At this Jim said that his private airplane would take me to my destination s which I told him was at Cheyenne to meet my train. After a very ride, I was once more on my way home. Pleasant air-plane The next stop was at Salt Lake, Utah. Taking a taxi to a hotel we ran into a dog catcner's cab causing a slight smash-up and catcher step out of the cab who should it be, but good laugh at our strange meeting he told me that was married and had two lovely children. The next morning the train left for my final After what seemed an eternity I was finally there Lo and Behold Hueben Berget. he was living as I saw the dog When we'd had a in Salt Lake City, destination, Fresno, California. and in a cab headed for Ruth's house. She told me that my trip had taken so long that she hardly expected me any more. That evening, she suggested that we go to the nDomen Ballrooms,there was to be a dancing act that starred Arlene Schumacher. Arlene was wonderful, after her act was finished, we went back-stage to see the star in person. She was the same gay Arlene, Just as friendly as ever. After a few days of being with Ruth my vacation was over and I realized that I would have to get back and on the job. At home my boss asked me if I had enjoyed the trip and I told nim of the good fortune and strange co-incidence of seeing all my classmates of n52n in this ghgpt while. ,- K'- f 'N -' at 4 0 X,. -yr .yd iiiggk. 47 f - .GXXN 5f5g ,IQ , fo-I - A Z, J'4?
