They say that Ace High's big helicopter plant has brought the biggest percentage of people to Midland since the big fox-fur rush in l952. A word about this fox-fur business. Henry Bugs Carpenter started it- a rumor that faxes had dug into a radium mine and become coated with it. However, enough of such stuff. I was walking around the town, or rather, city, and marveling at the changes time had wrought. In the school I ran into some old friends. Imagine my surprise to find Doug Lee lthe boss of the familyl, the janitor, married to Red Bennett and both-not one, but both- down on their knees scrubbing the halls. Will wonders never cease? El Stewart is now girls' physical ed. teacher and her ol' pal lhicll Helen Dudley is dietitian in the cafe lschool cafeteria to youi. Donna Metcalf still doesn't know what the score is! Willy Lyons, who still.retains her maiden name after six unfortunate weddings, is Chemistry Professor now, as Doc Tweedy moved to Iceland. Frank 'Ears l?l Behr is the big noise lor smelll in the Dow perfume works, and doing very well, too. Charlie Whipple has isolated a new organism, Whip- pliteers--King Sized which he claims will completely change the corn situation. John The Mayor of Our City Lee, after his affair with that Rockwell kid in high school, has for some reason or other developed a strange interest in tall, slim females. And he's' still a wolf. In mentioning Mayor Lee one always thinks of Ross lDonl. Our man Donald now drives a Buick, vintage of l928. Too many girls l?i loved him for his car in high -school and his mind snapped. Dick Kohls still wakes up screaming when he dreams of the Vic Tribune. Poor boy! Don't know what would happen if Bobbie lnee Paddockl lain't that fate?I weren't there to comfort him. The elder of the Pad- dock girls, Emma Joy or something like that, has re- signed herself to her switchboard for the rest of her days. Senorita Sola and her doves are now playing at the Gayity, which is managed by Gracie Britton. Leo Dean and Ruth Stein, the famous stage lovers, are starring at the Frolic lyes, I said Frolicl Theatre in a revised edition of Hasty Pudding. Charles Ducky High lthat other High boyl is starving in a garret. lt seems that Ducky started drawing landscapes. Ron Carsen Lowry has g'one off his nut! He's been trying to solve that joke which shows the ski tracks, one on each side of a tree, for thirteen years now. Might l also say that Ron is bowlegged now? There was a little celebration today. Bob Hunt, with tears in his eyes, got his long-awaited job of county drain commissioner. Major General Dale D l D for Dirty l Gerstacker and Rear Admiral James DeWese stood by to congratulate Bob as he accepted the job from Mayor Lee. Ah, Time, thou ever present of all things, where are the members of the Class of '43 today? Only you know -some time our lsobll grandchildren will know. Until then we are, Obeediuntly yours, ROD TOWSLEY, DON CHRISTONE, DONNA METCALF, MARY JANE PADDOCK.
