19M4l PKQf:'?f,ffV It must have been fifteen years ago that I graduated from high school. I graduated in the class of 19M41. A few weeks after I graduated I signed up with the Byrd Antarctic Expedition. A month later we departed for way down South. Then after fifteen years I got cold feet and decided to come home. I arrived in New York the other day, and one afternoon I decided to walk down to York. When I was halfway between Wrightsville and Hallam I was amazed to find that a new city had been built. As I neared the city I read the sign introducing it to me. It read, This city was founded by the perpetual class of 19M4-1 and is named in honor of George Barton, president of the Chair and Stool Corpora- tionf' It is therefore that this city is suitably called-not Bar- tonsbury, but Chaircago. As I entered the city a well dressed and distinguished look- ing man approached me. I spoke to him, Well, if it isn't the man that makes those wonderful prices possible, Albert Brenner. Then he said to me, Now don't take yourself too seriously, Livingstoneg there is always an animal that looks like youf' Bert, tell me something about this city. Well, he said, a year after our class graduated we noticed how much we missed each other so we all got together and built this city where wc live as one happy family. Tell me, Bert, who is the mayor of this city? Well, he said, theoretically John Walton is the mayorf' 4iWhat do you mean by that theoretical stuff, Bert. Do you have fifth columnists or dictators or something? No, he said, you see, he is married to Betty Hershey. I understood clearly and con- tinued on my way. As I was walking along the streets of this George Livingstone new city I passed several 'large buildings. The first building I noticed was the Lick and Sons Wrecking Company. Frank Lic- tenberger and all his little bergers the proprietors and wreckers. Frank's business slo- gan is gWe are safe crackers. I also passed I'Iank's Hanky Shop and Mike's Peanut Shop-Hank Knokey and Margaret Nishwitz the respective owners. Farther down the street I saw a billboard that displayed this announce- Twenty-seven ment, Next Friday night in the Chaircago Town Hall the noted lecturer and traveler, Philip Kemper, will present a double feature lecture, the topics to be on-'Confound it, who is Ye- hudi?' and, 'Who is the Presi- dent of Chile? Concarne?' After walking another block I passed the Eastern Branch of Stew's Cigar Store. As I glanced in the window I saw three regu- lars, Dave Ziegler, Lambert Schriver, and Bob Reisinger, in- dulging in the intellectual game of Rum. Several blocks farther west I observed a most pitiful sight. A blind man was sitting on the side walk with a tin cup in his hand while his wife stood beside him playing a mouth organ. I couldn't help it as several tears dropped from my eyes. I walked over to him and dropped a nickel in his cup. I was about to walk away when he spoke, Livingstone, youire the same old cheapskate you always were. Surprised, I suddenly remem- bered his voice. 5'Well if it isn't Donald Atkins up to his same old tricks. He spoke again, Move along, buddy, you're hurting my trade. Well, I moved along but I was almost certain that was .lean Pressler playing the harmonica. I walked out in the street and hailed a taxi. As the driver pulled up and opened the door I recognized him as Dick Stover. I said to him, 4'Dick, what does the taxi business amount to? He said, S'Twenty cents the first mile, five cents each addi- tional mile and on Sundays I play with the Loganville Ter- rors. Dick drove me down to the Chaircago Doghouse Agency, owned by Dorothy Layne, where I resided for the night. A nice city that Chaircago. If you ever get down that way drop in and visit those teachers ter- rors, the cause of all grey hair, dandruif, and fallen arches, the class of 19M4l.
