The Fandel and Marchand Construction Company owned by Russell Fandel and Bob Marchand received the contract to build the new high school here in Metamora. They supply their workers with a device which prevents them from smashing their fingers with a hammer. It is a hammer with the safety warning printed on the handle, "Don't forget to remove your fingers from the path of the hammer." The local branch of the Pinkerton Detective Agencygis represented by Marion Wilson, known commonly as "Mr, Trace, keener than rriostfpersonsf' Kenny Fauber, floraculturist, has found the milk in milkweeds. He, with Bill Marchand Who has had much experience in milk distribution, are working together on the problem of pasteurization and distribution for human consumption. It isn't so much the problem of pasteurization and distribution that is bothering them as is the problem of human consumption. Sylvia Neuman has fallen heir to Mrs. Smith's big country home which was granted for the purpose of a perpetual orphanage. Every night before the kiddies retire, Sylvia sings Brahms Lullaby. Nursemaids in the home are Marilyn Michael and Betty Zoss. Coletta Grebner and Carol Rohman are making airline passengers feel at home on a huge jet airliner where they are airline hostesses. Since Anton Engst and Don Fandel love to fish, they built a huge dam in the gully beside Anton's house for the purpose of raising fish. Everything went well until the water backed up over the state highway, so they built a toll bridge over it and are now living off of the revenue. Carole Garber and Lois Schutts sponsor a beauty contest at Anton's Lake. .Tack Fries as you know was never very tall, and now with a beltline of approximately 48 inches, one hardly knows if he is standing or sitting, walking or rolling, as he maneuvers the Chicago Bears from the sidelines. As for .Tim Welte, we would say he used his "noodle," As an outgrowth to the monotony accompanying a service station attendant, .Tim is now President of the Robot-Gasser Manufacturing Company, with factories in the northeast part of Metamora. You see, .Tim invented a device which by pressing a button fills the tank with gas, the crankcase with oil, cleans the windshield, checks the tires, and ejects the cash from the customer in one operation. If there is no cash, you press another button and the operation is reversed--no charge accounts. This ends our imaginings. Even though the world knows nothing of some of its greatest people, we hope that the graduating class of 1953 will be some of the greatest. ., 47
