7m Yfeafut It is now the fall of 1960-October 4, to be exact--and we are honoring Druck, our class sponsor, with a party. The occasion is his birthday, and we are giving him the final piece of luggage to finish his set., This gala festivity is being held at Bledsoe,s Venetian Gardens, an exclusive night club in the heart of New York City, owned and operated by Jack Bledsoe. He has sev- eral of his old classmates employed. Nancy Sutton, hostess, is busy seating people at their reserved tables. On the bandstand the spotlight points with pride to the master of ceremonies, comedian, and bandleader-Ray Bodie--with his Ray's Ragtime Bandf, which features Bud LaVine on the drums. Already Ray is becoming famous for his syncopated rhythm which is becoming popular throughout the United States. He has made some piano recordings of some of his compositions. As we turn our attention to the crowd-,tl'iat'isf gathering, we find the Governor of Indiana, Honorable Dick Meredith, and his wife, thelformer-'Jean Williamson, who writes all his speeches. At the same table with the governor and his wife are Phyllis Fanning, stockholder in Elevated Shoes, Inc., and Bob,Ba'dders, whonow owns a chain of shoe stores throughout the country. Although this is supposed to be a social affair, Phyllis is getting a little business in on the side. She is tryingvto interest Bob in putting her shoes on the market. 'f . -, , Going on to the next table to the right of us we find Denny Druckamiller, coach of the St. Louis Cardinals, talking to Ken Neukam, now a big league pitcher for the Chicago Cubs. Already they have been featured.in a picture in Hollywood, The Neu- kam Story,', starring Jim Hamilton as Ken Neukam. This picture, it has been rumored, is winning top honors as reported by Dene Cotner in her Hollywood column. Dene is succeeding Hedda Hopper. Glancing to the left we find Bill Radcliffe, che great dare-devil' speed tester who has been given an award for wrecking more cars and getting out alive than any other living person. Also sitting at the cable is Bob Holmes, a very prominent Buick dealer, who is trying to listen intently to two people at once-Howard Clark, rattling endlessly on about his new invention, the jet-propelled car, and Joe Beck, trying to outdo Howard with telling about his Beckillac. Our curiosity is aroused as we hear the jingle-jangle-jingle of spurs. Looking up we see Jim Shank, owner of Buck Lake Ranch, and his co-worker, Karl Wuest, star of the rodeo at Buck Lake and owner of the fastest horse in the world, Black Jewel. Following them we find Jim Fisher, Secretary of Agriculture, and Clem Davis. Jim is about to present Clem with a certificate of achievement for writing the best arrangement of Cow Cow Boogie,', which recent tests have proved makes listening cows produce more milk.

uzffze anime Finally we meet Eugene Easterday, who is making lots of money in his dairy business. He tells us he sees Sondra Randolph, Thola Miller, and Susie Lemley almost every day when he delivers milk to the fraternities - used, of course, in the cooking. Sondra, Thola, and Susie are housemothers of Alpha Gamma Upsilon, Phi Kappa, and Tau Kappa Epsilon respectively. They will be arriving soon. They have been delayed because of Tri-State Commencement. Merrill German, Dean of Indiana University, is talking with Captain Cy Johnson, now a member of the Indiana State Police Force. At the same table is Dick Holmes, principal of Flint High School. Just arriving are Minnie McKellips, who owns a chain of McKellips and Company Sc, 10c, to S1 Stores, and Carlton Erwin, president of the Kroger Company. Bob Mitz- man, now a great artist, is also arriving. Junior Pentico, on leave from the National Guard, and Don Blum, who now owns a huge skating rink in Los Angeles, will give a performance on skates for part of our entertainment. Now I should like to introduce to you some of my formei' classmates sitting at my table. As I am secretary to Winsky Television Company, I am interviewing Sally Williamson about one of her piano pupils, hoping she will consent to let this pupil appear on television. Also sitting at my table are Don Nelson and Lewis Mounts. It seems that Don has a hot dog stand at the World Series every year. Last year, as he went through the crowd selling-and getting results as he usually does-some man complain- ed of Don's walking in front of him, thus making it impossible to enjoy the game. This man decided to bring suit against Don. As the whole world loves Don's hot dogs so well, it will naturally be concerned about the outcome of this trial. I have decided as a favor to the world, to let this trial appear on television. Lewis Mounts, America's num- ber one lawyer, states that he will very willingly accept this case. Lewie has been nick- named the Argue-er because of his brilliant career. It seems that two of our old classmates are missing. They are Danny Munson and Harold Spencer. They are working for the United States Government on something that is a top secret, information to their promises. Nancy is Druck is now sing For He's and were unable to be here tonight. They have vowed not to give any any foreign nations and if I know Danny and Harold, they will stick to announcing that dinner will be served in ten minutes. She states that arriving with Mrs. Druckamiller and suggests that everyone stand and a Jolly, Good Fellow. --ARLENE MCCLELLAN -NANCY SUTTON Page Twenty-seven
