SEIIIUR H..HSS PRUPHEEU It is the year 1960. I find myself weary from paying income taxes. Having made my fortune building Robinson's Rocketshipsf' I give Hubert Yeager, my plant foreman, the business and have my chauffeur, Jack McBride, drive me home. On the way I stop to get my hair cut-it is almost an inch long. Bronson Busby, also an old classmate, is the barber and Buster Puckett shines shoes. Arriving home, I decide that being coopcd up in a one hundred room mansion is not the life, so I order my ever faithful valet, Ray White, to shine all my shoes and to pack up for a globe-trotting jaunt. I resolve to find all the members of the class of ,41 from dear old W. F. H. S. and see how life has treated them. Arriving at the airport, Ray White and I board my private rocket-plane after tele- phoning instructions to Calhoun Long and Annie Laurie Cole, my butler and cook, to see that Jack Hogg cuts the grass on schedule. The airport manager, Claude Davis, bids us good-by and I order chief pilot Billy Walraven to take off for points north. Passing the time of day with the stewardesses, Margie Willingham and Inez Ray, I learn that Elsie Cook and Margaret Bartenfeld are playing in the follies in New York. I also am informed that Paul Palmer has flunked Chemistry at Georgia Tech again, but that Marilyn Ritchie, Ph.D., has just received the Nobel Prize for scientific achievement. Landing at Washington, I visit Billy Monckton of the Supreme Court and Evelyn Smith, chief of the Red Cross. I stop at Baltimore long enough to learn that Madeleine Rutherford is giving a concert. Losing no time in leaving, I designate Chicago as the next stop. Learning, however, that the vicious gangsters, Ralph Ireland, Hugh Morgan and-Ray Dickey, have just killed ten people there, I skip Chicago and land in Denver. There I meet Eliza- beth Park, down and out playwright, and see the world famous Shakespearian actor, Lee Blount, in Hamlet. Returning to my rocket-plane, I learn that Hoyt Redd, chief mechanic, has deserted in favor of Leatrice Sarratt who happened ?? to pass by. Selling peanuts at the airport is Charles Burgess, who still professes faith in Lord Chesterfield's conception of women. Flying on to the west coast with John McCurley as substitute mechanic, we pass over the hermit hut of Warren Gignilliat and land in Hollywood. Robert Cathcart has Hnally beaten Robert Taylor in the popularity polls, and Marilyn Hagood and Evelyn Garner are to be seen working as extras. On a street corner I meet Truman Cowart, National Boy Scout Commissioner, and Pat Butler, radio songstress. I visit Margaret Roper and Glenna Morgan, well known co-authors, whose rivalry with Sarah Spivey, also a writer, is nationally known. IO
