Class arrived from California where she was a top-notch magazine cover I girl, a product of Glamour Models, Inc. Also hailing from Cali- fornia, we had Anne Mae Wooster, who had taken time off from a ■ state woman’s athletic meet to attend our reunion.

Dolores Ingraham and I Helen Snow were co-owners of one of Chicago’s best known beauty shops. I In the far corner of the room sat Suzy Edsall and Kenny Sims, J partners in a pawn shop and well, just partners. At the next table Shirley Vining, a teacher of dramatics at the University of Michi-I I gan, was chatting with Iris, whom we’ve already met and Don Van Allen, an ideal family man with his own little business — oil, I you know. Norman Rahn, as headwaiter, led us to the other side I of the room where we met Esther Wager, a home ec. teacher at Western State. Kenneth Miller was an expert in the technique of horse-back riding which he taught at Mary Smith’s ranch out West. Julia Peterson and Evelyn Mall, who keep busy running their home I for bachelor girls, came a little later and entertained us with tales I of the sunny south. ■ We had a floor show with some of our own talent. Jay acted as master of ceremonies and presented Shirley Davidson, who performed several creative little numbers for us in the floor show. After chatting with the old members of our class, Iris gave a fare- well speech and urged us to keep up our ideals. We all had a ( wonderful time and voted to have another reunion in 1973.

Class Prophecy Twenty Years Hence I heard a knock at the door and I answered it reluctantly for I was not in a very ambitious mood. The mailman, whom I knew as none other than Whitey Hansen, handed me a notice which bore the following news: Reunion of the Class of ’43” to be held at Jay Kennedy’s Moonlight Bay Ballroom and Bar in Chicago on June 14, 1963.” When I received this announcement I was filled with curiosity concerning former schoolmates. Immediately I rounded up the Greenville members of the Class of ’43 and chartered a bus to Chicago, having procured the services of Hubert Kraft as chauffeur. All of us discussed the activities of various members of our party. Ginny Carter was the private secretary of the town’s leading lady lawyer, Iris Wilcox. Reva Wisber, Winona Swartz, and Eldine Peterson were employees of Dorothy Schroder’s Cottage Candy Shoppe. Wilma Black said she enjoyed a life of domesticity as did Betty Maxfield. Keith Cavanaugh left his hired hands to do the chores while he trotted off to the city. Passing through St. Joseph, Isy Evert, chief cook and bottle washer in her own home, and Ruth Ann Griswold, a special instructor in the fine old art of square dancing, boarded the bus. Since transportation w'as greatly improved in twenty years we arrived in Chicago in a few hours.

With all bey officers: President, Lewis Schrader; Vice-President, Eddie Getzen; Secretary, Dale Hubbs, and Treasurer, Hap Plauman; you should really be able to expect great things from a class. PceGee, the little know-it-all, tells us that the Juniors have a super representation in Student Council with Lewis Schrader, Jean Wright, Pat Winters, Ruth Hall, and Peggy Petersen to fight for their cause. There is a Junior in nearly every activity in school. The band is overflowing with them; there are several Future Farmers of America; the Glee Club and Girls’ League can’t be forgotten. Bud Backus and Sally Church have turned out to be active journalists. Beverly Smith, Anne Field, and Charlotte Fries have shown their interest in speech work. Anne represented the school in oratory at Ionia. Phyllis Barlow, Anne Field, Ruth Snyder, Max Larsen, and Charlotte Fries have taken their place in the field of dramatics by participating in the All-School Plays of this year and former years. Junior boys do their part in sports. Elton Crawford, Lewis Schrader, Dale Hubbs, Kenneth Thomas, Ed Hansen, and others, were important cogs in our football and basketball squads. PeeGee wras enthusiastic about the Hayloft Hop sponsored by these up-and-coming Juniors. He danced so hard and long, he almost forgot to come back and clean up. He told us confidentially that it worried him when he thought how important the class of ’44 would be by next year. r i6 t
