professor at Yale, Darlene Lindquist was a test pilot for the new jet planes at White Sands, New Mexico, and that Marilyn Moline was married very happily to Curly who owned a Chevrolet body shop just outside New York City. Blondie also suggested that if we hurried we would he e time to hear a political speech at Independence Hall that Dale Olson was going to make, so she and Veryle gave us a police escort and we sped away once again. In no time at all we reached Philadelphia and Independence Hall. As we entered we were silenced by Dale’s famous oratorical voice. We had missed the main part of his speech but as we came in he recognized us. He came over to talk to us and al- though he was very dignified he seemed like the same old ’Ole’ we used to know. He had gotten to be a very outstanding political figure now and was running for city dog catcher for Philadelphia. Dale said that Kenneth was now Governor of Nebraska and we felt very proud to think that Kenneth was once a classmate of ours. He also told us that the sole owner and operator of the Hult Mortuary back in our old home town of Wausa was Wanda Hult. The little city of Wausa as we used to know it of 725 popula- tion had now decreased to 25 people due to Wanda’s very prosperous and efficient bus- iness. By this time our six day leaves were up and Betty had to report back to her quarters in Denver so we said good-bye to Dale and then to each other and I returned to my office at Washington D.C., feeling very proud that I war once a member of the famous senior class of '51 of Wausa High! SNEAK The Seniors said good-by to Wausa on March 9 to leave on their sneak. They left at noon on a chartered bus and arrived in Omaha about 6:45 after being stalled in Fremont for two hours. Upon our arrival in Omaha, all enjoyed a delicious dinner at the ‘Old English Inn.' We then went to our hotels - the girls to the ‘Rome’ and the boys to the ‘Wellington.’ The following day we toured WOW Radio StatTon, W 0 W- T V, and the World Herald building. A free luncheon was given us by ‘Brandeis,’ and after eating supper at ‘Dixons,’ where we also ate breakfast, we joirrneyed out to the Omaha stadium where we saw a hockey game between the Omaha Knights and St. Paul. Then once again we boarded our bus, this time turning homeward. After making our last stop for lunch in Norfolk, we arrived safe and sound about 4 A. M. in spite of the hazardous roads. A grand time was enjoyed by all of the seniors, most of us wishing we still had our sneak to look forward to and realizing that our high school days were almost over. — 14—
