The day was May 22, 1965. Iwas waiting at the airport for my old school pal, Jan. She was spending the next week with me. Our husbands, both being doctors, weite going to a medical convention so .lan and I had a whole week to ourselves. 'It was1Jan's birthday and she didn't know it yet, but I had planned a surprise :oi ner. lhe big surprise being my invitation. to all our former classmates to my nome for the party. It would be a class reunion at the same time. It was about 8:00 p. ni. and the party was about to begin. Our first guests were Carol Smith Conklin and Dolores Smith Conklin. They both seem vfery happy and arelhving in a new duplex house built by their husbands. Their hus- bands, incidently, are brothers, and they had a double wedding. I looked out the window and saw a red Chevy convertible pull up and a vaguely familiar figure step' out. Much to my surprise, it was Jerry VanCamp dressed in a Naval uniform. With him was Eddie Nayaert, also in the Navy. They are both lieutenants senior grade. Y Next to come was Ann Conner, who is now successfully teaching in a New Xork City private elementary school. She really seems to enjoy it. Q After Ann, Lonnie Heusler Lincoln arrived, accompanied by her husband, George. Lonnie and George have completed theirhnew home overlooking Canan- daigua Lake. It even has a swimming pool for thgeir two little girls. We had no sooner closed the door when Gail Hart DeWeaver entered and told us ot her. success as a public accountant for' I. B. M. She and her husband have a home in Rochester, New York. About ten minutes time had elapsed when we saw two taxis rounding the corner. Out of them came Wilma Smith and Bonnie lddings. They are both en- gaged and working as private secretaries at Lincoln Rochester Trust Company. Out of the next taxi came Richard VanDeventer, Ray Phillips and Ray Van- Hemel. They have all taken over their fathers' farms, Ray Phillips, is a, dairy farm, Ray VanHe1nel has a feed store, and Richard VanDeventer produces wheat on an amazing scale due to new scientific methods with which he is experimenting. By this time, we were exhausted from answering the door so we let the maid take over. Pretty soon, Morgan Knapp came into the main room where all the other guests were talking as fast as possible. We could see he was beaming about something. He told us that yesterday he received a letter from the Postmaster General complimenting him on his work on the rural postal service in Ontario County! ! Guess what? He also has the biggest sheep farm in New York State! After Morgie, I soon saw Carolyn Verdehem standing in the doorway.. I im- mediately rushed over to her, and we went into the den to leave her coat. Her training at R. I. T. proved to be worthwhile, for she is now Food Administrator for the Tools Restaurant in New York City. Pretty soon, Charlotte Adams Howard came on the scene. She is now head of Harper's Beauty School in Rochester where she once studied. Along with Char- lotte was her old school pal Beverly King who is now Mrs. Thomas Cheney. Bev is now a private secretary for the president of Saks, Fifth Avenue. Pretty soon, I felt a slap on my back and it was none other than Kenny Conk- lin. NVhen I asked him what he was doing now, he answered me in his own hu- morous t'?l way, that he was specializing in raising little Lyons! Along with Ken, came his close friends Clark lddings and Harvey Eggieton. Clark and Harvey are top designers for General Motors. They are responsible for many of the mod- ern three-tone and plastic body cars. Three girls who were very close friends all during their high school years are still together. They are Bette Ann Enders, Diana Diederick and Alice Gifford.

66444 Wdatow - - In gcptcmbcl- of 1951 our class witl1 a record number of 67 memliers embarked L 7 on its high school journey. The first job of the Freshman Class was to elect officers for the year. The fOl10yVincrvc:e1'c elected: Donald Ulmer, prcsidenlg ltaymond Phillips, vice-presidentg Mal-.farcfSchcrbyn Sccrcmryg Charlotte Adams, treasurer, and William l'llltllI'Ctlll, D ' , I T l V I assembly CO1ll1ll1llC0 representatiye.

In April, the class embarked on its initial money-making project by holding a round and square dance which was enjoyed .by all and proved to be a financial success. At the beginning of our Sophomore year, the class consisted of fifty-seven members who elected Raymond Phillips as president, Margaret bcherbyn as secre- tarv, Alice Gifford as treasurer and Hiehard Vanlleventer as assembly committee representative. Wlren Mr. Tamburrino left, we welcomed Mr. Donald Yarter as our new advisor. With our thoughts on the future New York trip, we again attempted to boost our treasury. This was accomplished by the selling of Stanley Products during .lan- uary and February and a bake sale held on February 28. After many long b11t en- joyable rehearsals, two one-act plays entitled Mushrooms Coming Up , and Shock of His Lifev were presented in March. Our -school year completed, we eagerly looked forward to the coming term when we would be classified as upper classmen and have the privilege of assembling in one homeroom. As .Iuniors our class had been whittled down to forty-seven members. Our first job was to elect class officers. They were as follows: Raymond VanHemel, presi- dent, Barbara Denniston, vice-president. Patricia Miller, secretary, .lanet Nagel, treasurer, and Morgan Knapp, assembly committee representative. As the first money-making project of the year the class sponsored a Boy Scout banquet which boosted the treasury a great deal. QA second money-making project was the sale of basketball pencils before and during the season. As Mr. Yarter resigned in January, his advisory position was taken over by Mr. Wilbur K. Hartmann. K L X L K A Q M -ln January, the class ordered the all important class rings, which finally arriv- ed in April.

After I talked with Carl a while, I saw .loyce llenderson. She is llie assistant physical education director al Cortland Stale Teachers' College. .loyce went to Cortland to study after she left Phelps. The next young man I ran into was Leslie Bailley. Les is the proprietor of a garage in Geneva, N. X. He was telling me about Lee Johnson and Don Nellis. It seems that Lee now has his choice ol' any Ford ,on llie market as it is not Ives Motors, Inc. any more, .but .lohnson and Ives Motors, Inc.

She is very suc- cessful, though, and loves her work! Before I knew it, I found myself chatting away with thnee old pals of mine. They were Sandy Lord, Eleanor Buiseh and Carol Madigan. We talked so fast I hardly renicnibered a word that was said. They told me that Norma Deuel Blank- enberg is in Germany with her husband, Bob. 'l'hey have built a permanent home there. Carol owns a chain of barber shops. Guess what they specialize in-you guessed it!-side burns! Sandy and lile are now in the motion picture business. I guess they're giving Marilyn Monroe a hard run for her money! - Iturned around and was face to face with Benny House. Ben, as we all know, is quite a politician. He won the election for governor of New Xork Stale over Bobert M. Quigley. No sooner had I seen Ben, than I ran into Barbara llenniston and Marge Scherbyn. Barb looked beautiful-she's a model for ''Mademoiselle . I' couldnt help .but notice the diamond on her left hand. Marge had such a good 'linie on her senior trip that she decided to go back to New York to stay. Her name isntbcherbyn any more and she lives in the most beautiful penthouse.
