The class of 1959 of Washburn High School has cancelled its class reunion which was to have been held this week-end. Superintendent of Schools Harold A. Maki, chairman of the reunion, received replies from almost all of the members stating that they were too busy to attend. Mr. Maki and his wife, the former Barbara Johnson, are the only members left in Washburn. Several members of the class are leading very interesting lives engaged in military service on foreign shores. General Harlan D. Ledin is currently leading an invasion of England. Sergeants LeRoy Eliason and Frank Mesner are also particiapting in the invasion. Stationed in a field hospital near General Ledin's headquarters in Paris are army surgeons Phyllis Pesce and Lew Ellyn Sytsma. By coincidence, Shirley Tast is General Ledin's secretary and takes care of his private affairs” in Paris. George Malinoski, former labor leader, is command- ing a guerrilla band of Polish freedom-fighters. Camped outside of Warsaw with him are: Vice Commander Jim Malcheski, Dave Niemi, Charles Gierzak, Pete Guski, and Jim Zanto. There are several others overseas, not in military service, who will not be able to attend the reunion either. Big game hunter Leslie Potter and his wife, formerly Nancy Maki, are leading an expedition into the Mau Mau territory of Kenya. They are accompanied by missionaries Bill Wedin and Charles Browne. Mr. Potter will hunt the rare Hodung, while Reverend Mr. Wedin and Mr. Browne will try to convert some of the Mau Maus.
