I located a fortune teller's place of business and went in. While waiting I inspected the interior of the room, which was decorated in loud colors that increased my nervousness. I had been there only a moment when a lady appeared and asked me to come into the next room where I was seated on a small stool beside a table upon which was a large crystal. Gazing into the globe she began by telling me that in ten years I would take a. long trip and what I would See and whom I should meet on my travels. Just before my train arrived at Dayton, a fine automobile drove up. A very dignified looking fellow stepped out, and as he turned toward me, I reeognized Roy Geesling. I Walked over and spoke to him and he invited me to his home on my re- turn trip. lIe told me he was President of The National Cash Register Co. I had to hurry on as it was time for my train. I walked into a smoker and sat down beside a very distinguished gentleman. and much to my surprise I recognized IVaco Patton. We shook hands, and he gave me a fifty cent cigar. We had a long ehat and I found out that he was one of the big guns on IYall Street in New York. Ive rode at great speed and soon arrived at New York City. when I got off I went up the platform to the engine and whom did I see in the engineer's seat holding the throttle but Donald Rife. That night, as I had a little spare time, I went to the Roxy Theatre, and there I was greatly astonished to see Lueile Sesslar as the leading lady in a play which had drawn crowds for Weeks. The next morning, I strolled down to the docks. There, boarding a large steamer, were Willard Bonham and Frances vVlllllllIlS, very evidently newlyweds. They told me they were leaving for Switzerland on their honeymoon. They also said that Donald Parrett, who was the captain of the vessel, was influential in helping them get a cabin at the last minute. The next day I boarded the train for Chicago. On changing at Flint, Miehigan, l met Willard Penwell, and he told me he was President of the General Motors Co. in Chicago, l noticed printed on a. large building, World's Largest Meat Pack- ers. Zllllll1l:'1'll'l0Il 85 Co. I knew the owner must be Hugh Milton. As I was passing through the cattle region of Wyoming, I learned from a. native that Eugene llollis was one of the largest cattle raisers of the State. When I arrived in Los Angeles, I rode out to Hollywood. There I met Kenneth Junk and Dona Gordon, two great movie stars. They invited me to a studio party where I met many of the celebrities I had admired on the movie screens of Fay- ette County. I then went to the Los Angeles Library. There I met the librarian, Lueile Gai-ringer. She was always so efficient as our school librarian that I was not surprised to see' her in such a responsible position. Un my return I did not forget to stop in Dayton to pay Roy Geesling a. visit. The door was opened by another old school-mate, Pauline Huehison, who is now in the home-making business under the name of Mrs. Geesling. As I glanced quickly at my wateh I saw it was time for the bus, so I paid the fortune teller and hurried away, as soon as I had told her how glad I was to know the future of my classmates. .
