nawabmjwtlfwu and nine children. just as Iwas ready to continue on my way I noticed another large build- ing, Iwas soon informed that it was a skating rink. It seemed that he and his wife and children loved to skate so well, that they built one on his farm. Maybe you have heard of 'johnny's Skating Club.' Continuing on my journey I saw a familiar figure playing in a yard. I ask if she was Charlotte Rude, but Iwas mistaken, it was Charlotte's daughter. just at that mom- ent Charlotte ca.rne to the door, she was the saxne friendly person. Ilearned that she had married an old 'Flame' from Howard. She had two children, Nancy and Max jr., who were then on the Quiz kids program at the new I. Q. station at Chicago. She WGS i!lfC1'C5f0d in knowing about her class and asked me to keep her informed of any news that I might be able to obtain. Iwas getting deeper into Dreamland. As I was going over the Pacific, I found my- self on a large island called Hawaii. Soon after I arrived, the new governor and his wife carne to welcome me. It was none other than Joseph' Bryant and his wife the former Pat- ty Hewitt. The Hawaiians informed me that they thought Patty was becoming as popular as the former leading lady Mrs. Paul V, McNutt, Patty was hoping to stay for a long time, she had enjoyed some interesting experiences. Getting closer to the moon I came to Europe. ln Paris a large coliseum caught my eye. There were several people quite excited over a newspaper article. For curiosity I bought a paper. In big headlines: 'Woz-ld's Famous Bobcats Versus the European Famous Bearcats.' In smaller type it had the lineup for the teams. Bob Gross was captain for the Bobcats. It had a brief history of Bob. He had been playing with the team for many years. The game was to be played that night. It was a 'thriller' to the last second. The Bobcats won the game by Gross' famous last second field goal. Bob was crowned captain for the all-astars. He had some very thrilling experiences that he told me. He was also interested to know what had happened to his classmates. I was very close to the moon and nearly out of Dreamland, when I turned on my tele- vision radio. As the picture grew more visible I saw that it was JoAnn Mohler. She had taken Cass Daley's place on the radio. She had become a famous actress on the stage and radio. She now lived in Hollywood and owned a cattle ranch. I found that she was on a tour and was planning to appear in person at Kokomo, Indiana and from there to Phlox. I had now come to my journey's end. - It seemed that on my trip I had drifted in so many different directions, just as Fate had before scattered in the Class of 1946, vakrsvxarxmarsv 'CLASS WILL ' With weary bones, worn down pencil and borrowed paper, I, Robert Gross, do here- by bequeath my belongings in U.
