can .P Opin, David Atkinson now ovsms a prosperous used car lot with the slogan For the Car Without a Future, See Dave. Sandra Baldwin and Jane Smith are now touring the country giving lectures on the art of Talking Fast and Saying Nothing. Rose Ann Ball seems to be the only one who has taken to teaching history. Mary, Jim, and Donnie Bauer have a business of their ovm now, it's called the Three Floor Store of Bauer, Bauer, and Bauer. Bob Bertke seems to be getting a little gray. Maybe his Admiral's rank in the navy is too much for him to handle. Jeanette Bertke doesn't seem to be the least bit gray though. I'll bet it's because her hubby sells Tintair. We see that they are building a new addition to Delores Buehler's nursing school over on Lincoln Street. It seems that Walt Beuerle is doing quite fine in his little business. Get a load of that slogan, Better Bourbon by Beuerle. Judy Davisson really seems to have her hands full trying to raise her family and hold her position at the Spring Plant as secretary to her father. Judy Doe is now the editor of the Detroit Times. Ron Ducey has won an award for handing out the most tickets on the State Police force for 1974. Helen Eiseman is now the first woman president of the United States. By the way, she's still a Republican. Dave Elkin is now the champion weight lifter of the world. Good old Dave, we knew he could do it. Don Foster has bought himself a business. Instead of being Wahl Ki Foor, it is now Wahl Ka Foster. George Gilligan seems to be doing a wonderful job of man- aging the Ann Arbor Korger Store. He has abolished the use of hold-up men to scare the hired help. Lloyd Grau, our future farmer of America. is now a farmer of America. And a prosperous one too. Doris Haist, the fashion girl of America, now works for Power's Models of Hollywood. Rose Ann Hoffman is still spending her summers in Toledo. We sometimes wonder what the big attraction is there. John Harook has just won another trophy for small boat racing in the English Channel. Merritt Honbaum received a gold cup for having sold more Pontiacs from his dealership in the past four years than any other small town dealer. Doug Kolb advertises a thorough eye examination for the small fee of S10. 00. Maybe that's how he got that Cadillac. Jerry Lesser is an even better farmer than he used to be. He now ovsms a ranch in Wyoming. Arlene Loeffler has been librarian for the Chelsea Public Library for the past thirteen years. It must be she likes her job. Dave Luick stated to the Detroit News yesterday that he en- joyds his present position very much and wishes to run for senator again next year. Shirley Marsh is president of her own company. Her slogan is real great, Better Marshes by Marsh. As I walked by Madam Katherine's shop, I noticed her very eye-catching sign, Fine Things for That Lady Friend. I always knew Katherine Merkel would be prosperous. Well what do you know! Clyde Mayers finally bought out Gaunts' Gladiolus Farm, lock, stock, and glads. Lynn Noah's Chinese restaurant is serving chop suey and rice patties on the house for the visiting Democratic Senators. Janett Otte is still operating those cabins on North Territorial Road. I'll just bet she's rich by now. That sign that hangs on Harold's door certainly is distinctive: Harold Owings, President Sinclair Oil Company, Michigan Branch. Cynthia Paul, exclusive dress designer, recently got a com- mission to go to Paris to study the new Parisian gowns. Who is that on that tractor? Why it's Lorraine Paxton doing her spring plowing just like she did back in 54. N Don Proctor, the best dairy judge of 1953, is now president of the National Dairy Judging Association. Margie Robards now holds the secretary's record for number of days spent sitting on the boss's lap. QV Doris Rothman's sewing center seems to be the busiest place in town. Don Rowe has the best record of any FBI man in Washington. We wonder if he is going to take over J. Edgar Hoover's position. Is that Duane Satterthwaite we see out there plowing with that 1975 Oliver Tractor. We always knew he'd be a farmer. Don Schneider is now coach of Southern California. He cer- tainly is soaking up a lot of sun. Bev Smith is now having her troubles with high school stu- dents as she has just taken over the position as math teacher at Chelsea Hi. Mary Kay Stapish hasn't lost her notorious giggle. Mary Ann Titus is now assistant director of nurses in Delores Buehler's nursing school. We never thought that our own Donald Umstead, or Bumpy by nickname, would ever be winner of the Indianapolis 500. Janet Widmayer is now National Representative of Michigan 4H. Kathleen Widmayer is still living up to her nickname, Turtle. Doris Weinberg has been out of college for quite some time now. We hear that she has her own Physical Therapy Clinic in the back of her father's dairy. Leah Wahl has just been voted Miss Sinclair Oil of 1975. Virginia Young has lived up to her name for the past 20 years. She ir still as young as ever. Dave Sz Ron 17
