Running competition with Van Johnson is Dale Grenia, the new Casonova of Hollywood. The new book that is now on the market, I Don't Intend to leave Home was written by our own Allene Hudson. I am doing very well at combining my two jobs as housewife and ballet instructor. Please write and tell me of anyone from our class you might know of, whom I have not mentioned. Sincerely ours. April 30, 1967 Vernonia High Vernonia, Oregon Dear Miss Peasnall: I was glad to hear from you and very surprised at some of the activities taken up by the class of '47. I was talking to Mr. Hills and also found some interesting things about the class of '47. Here they are: Will wonders never cease I Donald Parker is now the new Reverend of the Christian Church in Vernonia.

Among the new teacher's at V.H.S., I was surprised to find Bej ty Rose as chemistry teacher. Jimmie Rusow and Bobby liew are now in Japan as army reserve men. They have the plans all mapped out to v.in the next war. Duke Byers can still be found hanging around the old haunts of the football field. You can hear him loudly yelling, Peanuts, popcorn, chewing gum. I was quite shocked to discover that Edna Snyder was starred as a dancer and Thelma Rainwater as a singer at the New Gayety. Earl Spofford and Don DeWitt were blown to Mars while working on a new explosive. I wonder if they found one. The most surprising news of aHwas when I heard about Don Tiffney being a dramatic teacher in Lincoln high school. Verlin Crume is now the director of the Paper Boy's Union. Gordon Cline, architect, is drawing the plans for the new V.H.S. building and Mary Ann Johns is the interior decorator. Believe it or not, quiet little Russell Snook is now a prize fighter. His next match is with the world heavy weight champion. Tommy Ilolce, at Madison Square Garden. Jim Briggs, taxidermist, is opening a new shop on Bridge Street. It seems as though we have accounted for all the students from the class of '47, so I’ll close for now and get some rest. Yours truly. SEPTEMBER 26—BONFIRE RALLY
