6fll5'5 ifrzfplzec It is now 1981 twenty years since I graduated from high school. I decided that during my vaca- tion from teaching high school English in New York City I would visit my old friend and classmate, Marion Hall, who is suPeriUtCndent of nurses in Dallas City Hospital in. Texas. While changing planes aron Wilber, who is married to one of the wealthiest men in the New York Stock Exchange. She decided that rather than going on to California forher vacation as she had planned, she wguld come with me to Dallas to see Marion. After we had been in Dallas a few days, we decided that it would be nice if we could have a class reunion after all these years. in Chicago, I met Sh The problem of where to have the reunion was settled when Barb Tornow, United States Ambassa- dor to the Moon invited us to rocket to her moon. house. As we arrived on the moon we were rather surprised to see no one around, but all of a sudden we heard a loud roar, and we turned just in time to see Barb in her rocketship, chasing a snow plow. Must be she enjoyed doing it so much in Phelps that she has kept it right up. After we had been ushered inside and had renewed old times with Barb, the class members start- ed coming. First were Joni Ulmer and Judy Ottley, world famous for their hair dying technique. Ap- parently some of the peroxiding they did in school paid off. Hearing much chattering we turned around and saw Sharon Wheadon Hurne, Bonnie Forbes Overslaugh, Karen Yancey Chase, and Sandy Hartnagel Nieskes busily discussing their children and the problems they have with babysitters. Just then someone tapped me on the shoulder and turning around I saw a pair of sunglasses and a flashy sports jacket. This couldn't be---but it was. The famous author of the book, How To Make Your Own Casket in Ten Easy Lessons - Cheap, Scott Dyke. He had driven up in his Lark! Next to come were the old inseparables Paul VanHeme1 and David Robinson. Paul, it seems, liked his checkered pajamas in the Senior Play so well that he now owns Paul's Pajama Company and is the largest producer of checkered pajamas in the world. David, we learn from Paul, should be addressed as Your Honor, since he is the head Supreme Court Justice. It seems that after graduating from Hamilton, Dave set up his own law practice in Phelps. He rapidly rose to fame and is the young- est person ever to be on the Supreme Court. We heard the sound of marching and turned to see Navy Admirals Mike Hart, Mike Sweet, and Charles Conklin, march sharply over to the food table. Behind them came Jerry DeLooze, a test pilot in the Air Force, flying between Earth and Mars, and Charles Nayaert, a marine, just back from an expedition to Venus. Suddenly there was a large commoting over by the table and someone shouted, I know that's the right song! Upon investigating, we find Bob Pacer with a tape recorder still trying to get Purge Polka to play. Apparently after the Senior Play, music became a challenge to Bob. As Bob quieted d . own, we heard what sounded like a motorcycle and turned to see Carl Yancey buzz up on his souped up Rocketship, which was in the sh f Cycles, Incorporated, ape o a motorcycle. We understand that Carl now owns Yancey's All Tight. people, out ,on the porch for shuffleboard. That was Cindie Curtis, Social Director OH the 3.3. P.C.S., America's largest liner.
