to enior 6761.95 Cgproplzecy I was sittin' at my toadstool desk in study hall one day when Mrs. Shireman breezed through and tossed this note on my desk. You have been elected to deliver a toast at the junior-Senior Banquet, entitled Reflections in the Pool- - In which you are to roast A toast Your beloved school folks With hair-raising jokes! I was panic stricken! Out of sheer nervous exhaust- ion, I fainted there and then, right in that study hall. And in that trance I had a dream. I dreamed that I fell asleep on a bed of ferns with a milk weed pod pillow and a mushroom canopy. I, like Rip Van Winkle, slept for twenty years. In my dream I thought I awakened and discovered that I had shrunken to one foot two. Without food or drink for all those years, I was completely dehydrated. To quench my thirst, I made a dash for the Wishing Well. But when I leaned over the side of the well to dip the bucket in-what I saw was such a shock I almost fell into the well! It was ONLY THEN, that I made the discovery that my trance had lasted TWENTY YEARS! Way in the bottom of that well I could see a newspaper floating around and the date on it was 1977. It was a copy of the New Riegel Daily-Snooper. I see our former superintendent made the head- lines for the day. In two inch type it says UMODEST MAN ALMOST DROWNS IN THE GULF. The story reads: There was great excitement this morning at Vera Beach when Mr. B. M. Durbin was pulled of the water. Artificial respiration was applied by two visiting firemen, Eugene Zoeller and Carl Hoff- bauer. When Mr. Durbin was revived, he was asked what had happened and he replied, Well- I don't know how to swim, but I got in over my head because I thought it was embarrassing to HUG THE SHORE. Under LOST AND FOUND I recognize so many of the names. My old friend Mr. Flaherty has an ad: Lost-a g-ood donkey. I left the Old Fort Gym so fast after the game that my donkey couldn't keep up with me. Here's another one: I:'ound- by Raymond Kessler-a three gaited horse. When you ride it, it starts, stumbles, and falls. From the looks of this next column jobs Wanted it seems that most of you are unemployed. It says here Margaret Theis and Susann Kinn want baby sitting jobs. They say they just love baby sitting and always do exactly what the babies tell them to do. Here's an odd one. !'Will do ANYTHING. Have been retired for so long I could eat a raw dog. Sign- ed Mr. H. E. Newcome. Is there anyone here who could whistle one up for Mr. Newcome? Well, I see my commercial teacher is doing all right. He wants to HIRE SOMEONE. Help wanted: New cook needed at once at Mr. Francis Kern's Boarding House. When the price of flour went up, our last cook's bread didn't rise accordingly. I see Donna Reinhart is the editor of the Love Lom column. There's a letter here from Ieananne Hark who was presdident of our class. She writes, Dear Miss Reinhart: I am beginning to get a few gray hairs, But I am romantically interested in a man ten years my junior. 'Shall I dye my hair? Donna answers: True love NEVER DIES. She has another letter here from Mrs. Shireman. Dear Miss Reinhart: I am a school teacher and I am al- ways so worn out and tired when I leave the school- house. 'What should I take? Answer: Dear Mrs. Shireman: Take a Taxicab. Well, well, it sems that Barbara Wellborn has just retired from the Navy. She joined the Waves right after graduation to be in the same profession as her boyfriend. By the way-they're happily mar- ried now and their twin boys will be joining the Navy next year. I see here that Eugene Zender has been promoted to head janitor of the New Riegel High School. Con- gratulations, Eugene! It seems that Phyllis Lefontaine has been doing well for herself. She and her husband have just appeared at the Ohio State Fair as the leading dare- devils, testing the 1977 Dodges exclusively. Because of his great athletic ability, Frank Kuhl- man has just received the honor of being the first white person on the famous basketball team. the Globetrotters. Good luck, Frank. From the society page I see that Alvin Kern has just made his debut in the Metropolitan Opera. Also, Mrs. Gregory Vanderbuilt III, the former Miss Dolores Reinhart, has just entertained the Vice President of the United States, Richard Hemminger, at a special ball given in his honor. The former Iane Mathias, taking time out from teaching her children the sport of volleyball and the art of cheerleading, has written a bestseller, How To Be A Quiz Kid In Three Simple Lessons.. Kindergarten. Grade School. cmd High School. It looks as though Leonard Rumschlag has had a bit of luck. With Miss Blum, his former music teacher as his agent, he has attained great fame as the Trembling Trombonist. He really does tremble he's sooooooo-o-o nervous when he gets in front of an audience. I see that Alice Lucius has just been appointed Chief Cook and Bottle Washer at the Tiltmore Hotel. They've converted the Leaning Tower of Pisa into a hotel and changed the name from Biltmore to Tiltmore. Mr. Holden, who was our agriculture teacher at New Riegel High School, has just leased out his new farm at New Riegel to Richard Kessler, who wishes to use it for experimental uses. It seems as though our English lteacher, Mrs. French, has had some good luck too. In a nation- wide search by Oxford University she was chosen as head of the English department. Alfred Lucius has just obtained a patent for his sawed-off peace pipe. He intends to become a salesman on an Indian Reservation. I guess THAT ends it! A Water Nymph just jumped into the well and stirred up so many bubbles that I can't see the print. I HOFFMANN MEMORIAL FUNERAL HOME -i Tiffin, Ohio Ten
