They ran a Lonely Hearts Club in New York and they tell me that Jack Lundgard, now a sailor, is one of their steady customers. I thought a sailor had a girl in every port, could be that's Jacks trouble!! W Mary Rathbun and Margaret Harland graduated from Geneseo State Teacher's College and Mary says that she and Margaret are now teaching at schools in Rochester. Mary is a grammar school teacher and Maggie is specializing in teaching at a school for the deaf children. Warren Herendeen and Tom Filiatreau were next in sight and at first glance, it seemed they were arguing. Upon further investigation, I understand that Tom and Warren are practicing for a debate which will be presented later in the program. Both the fellows are professional debaters and faring Very well at their chosen profession. On my way into the gym, I noticed a beautiful car parked outside which I thought was some foreign make, but after asking Gerry Schaefer, now an auto mechanic, I discovered that it was a car designed especially for Ronnie Van Camp, a prominent oil tycoon. It was designed by Don Nash, who holds a very important position as a Mechanical Engineer and car designer. Glancing at my program for the entertainers' names, I spied Barb and Ray Dun- ham's names. I already was familiar with their T. V. program, Barb Sz Ray and was very glad to see them perform in person. I always liked beautiful clothes, and when I saw that gorgeous red dress next to that lovely blue one, I just had to go over and see who owned them. The gals turned out to be Joanie Post and Millie Canne. Millie tells me that she is runing a Travel Bureau in California and that she gives occasional lectures on travel in schools sur- rounding her town. Joanie is a photographer's model and she tells me that she loves the work. Zeke Barry and Charlie Overslaugh seemed to be having an interesting conversa- tion, and being avwoman, I listened in on their conversation and I found out that Zeke was a forester in Canada's Wilds, and that Charlie was an efficiency expert. He was one of the most ambitious fellows to graduate from the Busy Bee Efficiency School. Well, they always say that sometimes we outgrow child-hood habits, and I guess Charlie is no exception to the rule. Charlene Ogden is a member of the married set of the class and she seems to be very happy as a housewife and mama. Let's see, there seems to be three fellows that I have missed. Levern DeRuyter, Doug Opdyke, and Dick Day. After inquiring, I found that Doug was bringing the two fellows and his car broke down. Doug thought he would use the same car he had in the high school days ffor sentimental reasonsj, but it just didn't quite make it. After asking around I did find that Doug is a school guidance director and LeVern and Dick are both prosperous farmers. Now I have met and talked to all of my high school chumis and though it has been ten years since we all graduated, I'm sure that the memories of our school days will always be fresh in our minds, and that at our next reunion, I will find them all as happy and prosperous as I found them today.

PMMHWH' h h re comes the mailman. I wonder if anything came for me today. Only one fi , Tetfs See now it's an invitation to my class reunion. Your presence is re- envjtcggegt a class of 1652 reunion being held in the Phelps Central School Gymnasium, que J une 21 1962 at 1:00. Come and see old friends and classmates. June twenty-first, thats next Saturday afternoon.. I'll have to check and see if I'm on dutv next Saturday. It doesn't seem like ten years have passed since the class f 1952 left its old Alma Mater. Ten years isn't really such a long time, because for ihe they have been filled with many wonderful experiences in the field of nursing. Saturday finally arrives and I set out to attend my class reunion. Kathryn Gleason and I go together because, since we live in the same town, and work in the same hospital it will be easier and more pleasant to travel together. Four hours later we pull up in the bus garage parking lot and start out for the gymnasium. Not having known that the gymnasium was enlarged, we are amazed when we see the size of the room into which we are directed. There is Miss Mundy and Mr. Hartmann. Upon inquiring, I find that Mr. Hart- mann now is the Principal of Phelps Central, and Jack Donaldson is acting as Vice- Principal. Miss Mundy is Art Director at her old Alma Mater, Syracuse University. Going on, I find Bonnie Hulster and Evelyn Eggleton chatting in a corner. Bonnie tells me that she and Evelyn are planning on erecting a Youth Center in Phelps and directing it themselves. They are just a couple of home town gals. Lowell Falkey is over by the refreshment table along with Bob Nagel. That's no surprise, they say that .Bob's appetite increases as he eats. Lowell tells me that he is coach at Clifton Springs Central, they haven't lost a game since he's been there. Be- tween mouthfuls, Bob informs me that he is teaching Mechanical Engineering at Col- gate University. Both Lowell and Bob are still bachelors by the way!! I am told that Harry Peake and Don Richmond run a garage over in Newark. They specialize in selling car accessories and Don gives a few hotrod lessons as a side- line. Carol Oaks, Betty Burnisky, and Jeanne Lundgard, are next in sight. Carol and Jeanne have a secretarial school in Rochester. They call it the O. Sz L. Secretarial In- stitute. They are doing pretty well as managers of a school. Betty is Nursing Director at Rochester General Hospital and she tells me that Donna Ryan is running a Pizzaria in downtown Rochester. I made a note of this because pizza has been a weakness of mine since my high schooldays. - After talking with the girls, I saw a group of fellows chatting about something which seemed to be very interesting, so I thought I'd see what it was all about. I recog- nized the fellows as Dick Lyon, Gordon Minns, and Bob Mosich, it seems that they are all truck farmers and they were discussing the poor corn crop of last year. Speaking of farmers, I was informed that Donald Fridley and Jim Goodman have a dude ranch in Texas and Alan Van Deventer is a stock buyer living in a town just east of Jim and Don's ranch, the Bar DJ. I Barbara Gaylord and Bonnie Krager tell me that since they graduated ten years 380, they haven't once lost track of one another. Bonnie married a 'month after she graduated and now has three children. Barbara is a social worker in Chicago and is now trying to start a fund to purchase an oversized Air-Wick to deodorize those famous Chicago Stockyards. 28
