Episcopal, Kenilworth) 1975 marks the fiftieth an­ niversary of the class of 1925 through ouf the land I vvas a member of the class of that \ ear at the United States Naval academy at Annapolis, Md. I had resigned as midshipman after twenty months because of a disagreement between myself and the Department of Mathematics. The disagreement centered about certain questions on the examination. I could not accept their answers and they would not accept mine.

I was still a member of the class of 1925. There is a very strong class loyalty at Annapolis, as also at West Point. These schools have not. for many decades, had fraternities. Your class is your loyalty within the institution. To the big reunion I was invited with my wife. I was not particularly anxious to go but Mrs. Manner had in mind it would be a good idea, and so, as any married man can tell you, we went. And am I glad. We had a ball. We spent money I had not planned to spend thus, but that is a small matter com­ pared with the real joy of seeing men I had known over fifty years ago. The president of my class, recognizing that I was the only clergy man in the class, asked me to preach at the memorial service for our departed classmates. This is the sermon that just recently appeared in these pages. Our plan was to get on the Indiana - Ohio - Pennsylvania turnpike to central Penn­ sylvania and then drop south through Baltimore to An­ napolis. It was a miserable trip. Once again we were cursed with rain-heavy downpours with Rose at the wheel. The lightning crackled-the thunder exploded in roaring barrages of bass fright. The rain was so thick you feared you would never see the slower car before you or be seen by the truck behind. Cars filled the space beside the road under each viaduct. All you could do was go on. So. we kept our heart in place beneath the chin while hail beat a trying tatoo on roof and hood. Nor was the weather all. The toll roads are having lots of repairing done on them. The paving fell off abruptly in some places. There was mud on the road from old clouds of dust. It was miserable and dangerous. Then there were the trucks, great huge behemoths that scream along beside you roaring and grinding; beating the life out of the concrete and creasing your trip with com­ merce. It was as though some mechanical dinosaur raced you tor your soul. From their maw they belched clouds of diesel exhaust, poisoness enough to bring gas masks back in style. I had had it. God never meant life to be like this. I would come home on back roads and save $11 worth of tolls. We did. but that is another tale. We stopped at two motels. Both were of the same chain. One was clean as any motel I have ever seen. The other was stained, soiled, broken. Both were the same price. Along the Indiana stretch many Oases were closed. Ohio has a good trick. When you get off for the night the toll taker gives you a list of motels within five miles, state inspected with price lists. He may make no recommendations. No ad­ vertising is permitted on Ohio's turnpike. When you enter In­ diana or Pennsylvania from Ohio the billboards smack you right in the face You had gotten used to scenerv and here again are the proclamations of the market place redundant with overclaims. In the evening when we stop, if there is enough light and a small town close by, we look over the old pink brick cour­ thouses. Some counties keep all their buildings in the same kind of architecture. Some put on two or three additions, each in a different style of building. It generally looks awful. There is much to be said for the small simple serene old house on a quite shady mid-America UZJa£gxee#, Agency Drugs "YOUR PRESCRIPTION HEADQUARTERS" 1327 N. RIVERSIDE DR.
