it and Merz Implement Company. Gale was now producing 400 horsepower fuel-injected combines. Janice McNeely was his head secretary. Linda Saal, Judy Jilek, and Peggy Buckminster were now the co-owners and co-operators of a string of Ice Cream Palaces. Kay Hardt was the captain of a regiment of K.T.N.C. Meter-maids, which included Linda Arnold, Kathryn Gruber, Brenda Rowley and Mary Karst. They specialized in walking along and putting pennies in expired meters directly under the nose of parking meter patrolman Bob Zentner, new assistant to Ivan Bieck. I also discovered that some of my classmates were businessmen in Falls City who were quite famous all over the world. Many persons from all walks of life had attended Gene Rowell's Institute of Intestinal Fortitude, where for $15 a week, Gene would build up one's courage and also throw in a few hair-raising tales of Gene's own experiences while in high school. Claudia Kreutzer and Mary Coonce owned the world renowned restaurant Laurel and Hardy's Place. While talking about famous places, it would be erroneous, indeed, to pass up Cheryl Enge's Twilite Club. Jim Prater had become a wealthy sign-maker specializing in signs for Falls City High School; some examples were: over the mirrors— “Don't Comb Hair, or on the lockers— Tuck In Shirts, and some on the walls which simply said, Go To The Office, You're Wanted For Something! Cheryl Brecht was selling wall-size maps from her map factory—each one scrutinizing Rulo, Nebr. Sterling Fritz was one of the best Marriage Counselors in the nation. He said he owed it all to romance problems some years back. Charlene Grush established Grush's Institute of Higher Learning here, and Shirley Ebel was a professor in Home Economics specializing in greaseless foods. The new Superintendent of Falls City Schools was Dennis Moore. Tom James has home after attending Harvard University for nineteen years in order to prepare for the really big colleges. One of the more notorious characters of Falls City was Mike Acey-Duecey Morgan, the undisputed Czar of the gambling syndicate who ran a major poker parlor” on Sunset Boulevard. On the outskirts of town was the Rolling Cockleburr Ranch owned by Doug Sailors and Wilbur Yoesel. Linda Posey had just acquired the Towle Estate after returning home from Atlantic City, New Jersey, as the new Mrs. America. Sherry Smith was a promising young politician whose thundering voice was compared to that of William Jennings Bryan. Cindy Glenn had become Falls City's wealthiest citizen after establishing a Night Club in a location unknown to squares. Her main entertainers were Julie Hasty and Carol Ramsey doing sound imitations of alley cats and Debbie Bacakos doing the pantomime. Myra Krumme was the world's greatest woman lumberjack and every year she rolls a log from Saskatchewan to her father's lumber company in Falls City. Robert Stone was residing in Happy Hollow, near White Cloud and was known as one of the world's last genuine hermits. Vicky Little had just returned from Washington where she had just failed to convince Congress to pass a bill outlawing backseats in new automobiles. Upon interpreting this, the machine broke down, but I was so determined to find out what else was happening back there that I closed my office and jumped on a train heading west towards Falls City. The name of the train was the Falls City Fireball and it was engineered by no other than Eugene Whitney, who engineered a train instead of driving a car because he didn't need to see where he was going. The conductor was Larry Brazau. The train stopped at Verdon, giving the excuse it was not safe to go further, because of a huge unknown mysterious meeting in Falls City. I hopped off the train and walked a couple of miles when suddenly three huge stables confronted me. The sign on one said Sharon Palmer's Riding Academy and after renting a horse to complete my journey, I neared the outskirts of my hometown. There I was met by Janet Werner, the President of the Falls City Chamber of Commerce. She informed me as we reached Main Street that the meeting was the Reunion of the Class of 65. Here I met all of my old school mates and I realized that even though we had separated into many various branches of life, we all felt the same about one thing—we are the Greatest Class that ever graduated from Falls City High School.
