my musical ability to Robin Holden. I, Denny Wenger, do will and bequeath my ability to talk in fifth hour study hall without getting caught to Mike Sather. I, Patt Wold, do will and bequeath my abil- ity to burn the candle at both ends to Judy Kettle. ' I, John Young, do will and bequeath my abil- ity to stay away from Brodhead to Dennis Carter. In witness, thereof, we, the class of 1960, have set our hands and sealed this, our last will and testament. Witnesses: I. M. Crazy B. A. Simpleton pwydkcg Dear Mr. McGinnis: Just a line to let you know what the class of 1960 is doing at this time. Our Student Council President, Douglas Schultz, is currently wrestling professionally with the Barnum and Bailey Circus. - Qne day Duke made the sad mistake of challeng- ing anyone in the audience and up stepped Dennis Wenger as his worthy opponent. Half- way through the match Duke lost his footing and Dennis won with a full-nelson. Actu- ally,Dennis is a part-time horse jockey and can usually be found at the track. Still later while traveling down the midway, I noticed a large billboard advertising the play Romeo and Juliet in modern satire. I could hardly believe my eyes when I noticed that the leading actor was our high school romantic Sheldon Reavis. It seems that, at the time, the real Juliet was ill so the fat lady had' to play her part. ' While watching the play, I realized that sit- ting next to me was Julie Eggen. I'1n sure you know she isa registered nurse in New York City. Suddenly the ba-lcony broke and the fat lady fell on poor Spike and Julie rushed to the stage to administer first-aid. I figured that was enough excitement for one night, so I left. One day, while doing my house work, I was visited by Barbara Hillison. She had traveled over to Janesville from Orfordville just so we could go to dinner together. As we were eat- ing our lunch, we noticed a familiar tow-head in the back - flipping hamburgers with one hand and washing dishes with the other. It seems Dale Reints has found his real talent. Incidentally Barbara married an ex-grad and has four daughters as cheerleaders. I'm sure that you are familiar with all the noise they can make as they are at O. H. S. Remember our DAR winner, Mary Bowles? She went on to school at Madison Business College and now she is head accountant at a southern air force base. I kind of think that Mary has a certain interest still inthe air force. At the typewriter next to her desk sits quiet little Carol Nelson. I think both girls had the same interest. While I was visiting with Mary and Carol, a plane came in and who walked off but Harold and his new Italian bride. Judy Klingberg has been traveling around the world trying to find the right school in which to teach. It seems that she is seeking the perfect classroom and students. I read in the papers the other day that John Young and Jerry Duchesneau were chased out of the gambling houses of Las Vagas. The last time they were seen they were heading to- wards Reno, Nevada, to stop Jerry's second, wealthy wife from getting a quick divorce. Last sumymer I had the opportunity to travel to Arizona to visit Susan Gaarder who owns a large Dude Ranch. I Went by way of a jet airliner. After an exciting takeoff, things got a bit shaky as we looped the loop and hit several air pockets. All of a sudden the stewardess tripped and fell into my lap. I discovered, to my surprise, that she was none other than Sharon Powers. To- gether, we went forward to the pilot's cabin and pounded on the door. When it opened, I could well understand why we had so 'much trouble. At the controls were Lee Gosda and Dan Brauer. I told them to straighten up and fly right, otherwise I was going to re- port them to the Civil Aeronautics Board. That seemed to do the trick and we reached Arizona in. one piece. Meeting me at the airport were Ellen Chris- tenson and Judie Fisher, who were vacationing at Susan's ranch while looking for their certain millionaires. Picking up our luggage was Ronnie Thomp- son, It seems he also runs Tim's Taxi Ser- vice and many other things in a little ghost town in Arizona. In his spare timie he plays the guitar and sings in his local saloon, be- cause he can't afford can-can girls. After a long and tedious ride in Tim's taxi we arrived at the ranch.
