KIM-L Pfwnfwflf- Homecoming, at Snowden High brought us many happy reunions. As we were driven toward our Alma Mater by the capable Bill Trover, we glanced out the bus windows and were amazed as we saw familiar names of the Class of ,52 in neon lights. There in front of our eyes in bold letters was Gorisek and Wisniski Beauty Salonf, Inside the shop were Rosemary and Dolores working on a society woman, Marian Kozak. In the next block was GriHith,s Mortuary with Harry Daugherty driving the ambulance out of the driveway, as Donna was Welcoming some guests.

Nancy Neff gracefully per- formed her ballet solo, and then had her costume fitted by Amelia Kratofil, the seamstress, while Donnah Randall, the expert fashion designer, looked on with approval. On our way down to 'the cafeteria we saw Mary Popovich and Ioan Opfer- man in the Common's Room preparing their notes for next weekis debate, Pro- ceeding further on our little jaunt we heard Ambrose Blashich, one of the mem- 22
