Sometime in 1969 Somewhere, U.S.A. Dear Folks: We thought you might be interested to know what your friends from the class of '49 are doing so we will take this opportunity to tell you about them. First of all, you will probably be surprised to learn that one of our more bashful boys is now a famous broadway star playing in the stage play Omlet . He is none other than Jim Sullivan. Taking the lead opposite him is Beautiful Liv, known to you as Elizabeth Phinney. Not long ago we received a letter from Kay Anderson, now editor af the New York Times. She sent us some copies of her paper. Some of the articles were a kill. One item of local interest was about movie star Harry Stakkestad. It said that he was being arrested on bigamy charges. Both of his wives finally caught up with him. One turned out to be Natalie Jordon. Another item of interest was the opening of the Heathers and Graham Burlesque Theatre. On stage for the first night was Dixie Miles, who is now taking the place of the late Gypsy Rose Lee. Another attraction for the evening was a male quartet, made up of Norm Lawson, Gene Overway, Dick Coons, and Wick Peth. They call themselves The Four Roses . In small print we saw that the ushers for the evening were Shirley May and Irene Mann. By the way, have you noticed the bill boards lately? If you'll notice, the Copenhagen Co. is offering an autographed picture of Don Kerr with every box. Donna Thramer is also posing for the bill boards, only she is working for a famous toothpaste company. We always knew she had pretty teeth. I suppose you already know that Eleanore Reed and Norma Rodewald are working as cigarette girls at the one-and-only Stork Club. Nancy Loving also seems to be doing all right as hat-check at the same place. Not long ago the Wrangling Bros. Circus was in town. It is now owned and operated by Charlie Splain and Don N eilsen. It seems that some of our friends are working for them. The lady wrestler turned out to be Marlene Nelson, and by nosing around we found out that the bearded lady was Edna McBee. In one tent we found the fortune teller and magician, Bill Von Allmen. His helper was his wife, Rose Marie Dale. Bill looked into his crystal ball and told us about some of our friends. He seemed to think that Nancy Lawson was now an art student in France, and that Carole Noble was married and the mother of two sets of twins. Have you heard about either of them? Did you find out any more about Mary Orbeck and her Frizzy Wave Shoppe ? We were glad to hear she is doing such a thriving business. When did Philip Bell buy out the Bell Telephone Company, or did he just in- herit it? While strolling through town the other day, we decided to visit a few of our friends' places. We called first at the Soul Saver Tabernacle where the Evangelist Preacher, Dean Adkins, had the sermon for the evening. In the first pew sat his wife, Lucille Arians, and their five little boys. Z7 After the inspiring sermon, we walked farther down the street where we saw a'blind man playing an accordion. It was Kenny Skogman. His helper, Larry Gear, was holding a tin cup and selling pencils. We felt sorry for them so of course we bought a few pencils. On the outskirts of town we passed a tent. We later found out it was the home of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Olson, fLi1 Smithl. We were told that the Olson Lumber Co. had gone broke. As we crossed the street we were almost knocked down by a taxi. You might guess that its driver was Ray Shelley. Weren't you surprised when Bill Swanland won the election as mayor of New York? No wonder he won, with such 'campaign managers as Dick Paulson and Leland Schnell. Bob Cavanaugh seems to be doing all right as bar tender in the Egbert and McMillan Sa- loon, business seems to be booming since they put in the television set. We were glad to hear about some of our friends in your community. Especially that Carroll Heiner had at last become a doctor. She used to study so hard. I didn't think that Evelyne Neely and James Allan would ever get married. Remember their first date? It was the Senior Ball of 1948. We were awfully sorry to hear that Betty Blanton had lost her voice and can't sing any more. Say, were you just kidding when you said that Beryl Dene Abel was married for the seventh time the other day, to Charlie Kermen? We thought it was nice that Carmen Brandstrom and Louise Sauer finally won the skating cham- pionship of the Northwwt. Are Sue Nelson and Peggy Bentz really presidents of the Lonely Hearts Club? Did Lottie Routon and Jeanne Denis ever buy out that bottling works? I notice in t-his evening's paper that the great wrestler Bill Bessner is in town. His manager is Walter Jewett. It s rather funny, I always thought it would be the other way around. I also notice in a news item that Nancilou Seay and Jo Aldine Darnell finally had a disagreement. It seems that both wanted to get married to the famous Einstien of this day, Don Norris. You'll probably laugh when I tell you that Dolores DeAtly and Marilyn Eglekrout are now working as modelsg Dolores posing as a housewife for electric stove ads, while Marilyn poses for Lucky Strike cigarettes. Loyola Barrett and her husband James Mc- Kinnon now take the part of Fibber McGee and Molly on the radio. Their sponsor is the Presta Blanca Wine Co. owned by Mike Neal. Neva Aarstad does the announcing for their show, while her husband Lyle Wesen stays home with the children. LeRoy Flick and Clara Stierlen are also on the radio. They count nickles for the Old Ladies Home Pro- gram. Dwaine Brady, I hear, is still going to school at Burlington. I guess he's still trying to get enough credits to graduate. Well, folks, I guess that's about all the news for now. Let's hope we can all get to- gether and talk over old times before too many years go by. We are yours, The Class of 1949
