tackle and took off. When 1 got to Enders there was a large crowd standing over by a little fishing stand so 1 went over and there was BOB E1NSPAHR selling minnows. 1 told him what I wanted and he told me that he would show me where to catch some catfish if I would wait for a little while; so I waited. We went fishing for a little while and Bob and 1 had soon caught our limit. On my way home I came upon two women who were trying to fix a flat tire. 1 stopped and tried to give my assistance. After I had fixed the tire they asked me who I wa and 1 told them, they then introduced themselves as NORMA POTTHOFF and ARDIS REINWALT. I told them [would followthem back to townincase they had any more trouble. When I got back to Wauneta 1 went into the bank to cash a check. The building was just aboutas lhad remembered it. While I was waiting for tnem to give me my money 1 noticed JEAN NEVILLE was one of the cashiers. After 1 told her who 1 was she introduced me to SHIRLEY HILL and KATHERINE DYBDAHL. They told me they had all been working in the bank ever since 1956 when EVELYN MALONE had bought it. Evelyn was one of the richest people in Nebraska now. This was too much of a shock so after they cashed my check 1 went home and said goodbye to my folks. I drove over and picked up Glen and we started out for New York. I thought 1 had been very lucky to have seen so many of my old classmates and I was very happy they were all well and were doing very well in their chosen occupations. CLASS SONG This old school once knew our laughter, This old school once knew our tears, This old school was home and comfort, As we passed on through the years, This old school is a gonna miss us, This old school is a' gonna cry. Now it trembles just to think, That we’re a’ gonna say goodby. Ain't a' gonna need these books no longer. Ain't a' gonna study no more. Ain't got time to learn our English, Ain’t got time to study math. Ain't got time to bother teachers, Nor time to write a theme, Ain't gonna need this school no longer, We’re gettin' ready to see the world. CLASS HISTORY lnthe yearof our Lord 1943 A.
