Zhao 791 Recently as I was sitting in my Texas home thinking ot' my old high school days, I glanced at the calendar and noticed it was June 25, 1966. It was just ten years ago when I graduated from dear old P. C. S. I thought to- myself -what fun it would be .if I took a trip' back to Phelps and looked up all my old classmates. I called my close friend Marcia CKenyonD VanHemel and told her 1ny idea. She told me to come ba-ck to New York State for a few days, and we could look our Class' of '56 'up together. After much debating with my husband as to whether I should drive our Cadillac on take a rocket - I decided to drive. After kissing my two little Conks good-bye I was of.f for Phelps. Three days later I was back in my home town whi-ch needless to say, had changed quite a bit. I drove out to Marcia's beautiful new home and after talking to her husband and two boys we were off on our rediscovery of the Class' of 1956. We noticed a soda shop in place of Whitef's Store and decided to stop and have a soda. The owner and head soda jerk is Dave White. After enjoying our sodas we drove off and noticed the Phelps Theater which has been enlarged and is now owned by Janice Phillips and her husband. We saw an advertisement of a new movie just released by Warner Brothers which stars our high school actress, Linda Main. We heard that John Maslyn is now married and runs the Phelps Hotel and that Lee Butler is married to Janet and is living in Newark. We went next door to the Super Shoppe which is now run by Edwin Mas- lyn. He told us he has branch stores in all the main cities. Ed is still quite the man around town. After leaving Ed we went to our dear old Alma Mater where we saw Jean Frederick who is now- Guidance Counselor. Jean told us that Ann DeWandel now' owns a private school in Y. C. and is still noted for having parties in her penthouse. Jean said Karen Johnson was ba private secretary until a year ago when she married her boss. We then wentto the gym where w-e saw Coach Gary Gleason. He told us his basketball team has gone to the sectionals for three years straight. Gary said Kenneth Overslaugh is part-owner and star of the great New York Lop Trotters and that Gerald Guard is now manager of the Rochester Royals. After leaving P. C. S. we started. toward Clifton to see our ibfuddy Virginia tMadiganJ Lapresi. She has a new home and is busy ra.ising her two little stones . Virigina told us to go over to her favorite eating place f'Stan and Helen's . We did - and were surprised to see it owned by Helen Edington and her hus- band Sftanley. Helen told us her sister-.in-law Norma Maines is now head nurse at Rochester General 'Hospital and is engaged to a surgeon. Helen also told us that Joyce Hollenbeck liked her job at the mountains so w-ell that she now owns her own resort hotel. Another of our classmates who spends a great deal at Joyce's resort is none other than the famous scientist Donald G. White, Esq. At Helen's we glanc- ed ati the television and noticed a girl playing an accordian. Why it was Mary Walters who now has her own T.iV.Ashow. We left Helen'.s and went to Newark to see Carole Mattoon. George and she are very happily married and have three children. She told us that Donna CConklinJ Allen, Muriel tFieldl Bailey, and Joan Ccontinued on page 465 23
