p%afi iectt Let ' s take a forward glimpse and see what could become of our classmates of 1953. Well . . . here goes . . . The year is 1964 and here we are at Monroe, Indiana. Mon- roe now has a population of 7,000 and the mayor of our fair city is none other than the honorable Jim Brodbeck, who is doing a fine job of keeping order. Why only last night he arrested Freddie Ehlerding for driving twenty-two miles an hour in a twenty mile speed zone. WARNING — BE CARE- FUL WHILE DRIVING THROUGH MONROE! Freddie now has his own garage and designs his own cars. His motto is . . . If you don ' t like our design . . . design your own. It is election time once more and as I glance at my ballot whose name do I see but Don Holloway ' s! Don is running for president on the Democratic ticket. He must have gotten the ambition in 53 when he was president of the senior class. And look who is his opponent on the Republican ticket . It is Marvin Taylor, Don ' s former classmate. If he is elected, he say his cabinet will be composed of women only because he thinks women have been neglected for generations. As we leave the town hall we see Mr. and Mrs. Gene Bluhm who now own a 500 acre farm near Monroe. Mrs. Bluhm, who ■was the former Elaine Freels, is now managing a ten-room home and caring for their four children. We stopped to ask them about Lyle Gerber, who has just had a very serious operation performed by Dr. Hubert Isch. Hubert was assisted by Miss Pat Barger, now a graduate nurse. Pat and Hubert got along so well in high school that they decided to combine their talents, and now they are one of America ' s greatest surgical teams. They tell us that Lyle is doing fine and will soon be back at his job as a shoe designer. They also tell us that Virginia Mitchel and Eddie Nuss- baum, who were recently married, are building a new ranch style home in Florida. It is being built by the famous con- struction company owned by their former classmates — Luther Hedington and Leroy Chamness. If you wish to have your house designed by these great architects, you can reach them at the Empire State Building in New York City. As we leave the Bluhm ' s and continue down the street we meet Wendell Beer, who is home on leave. He tells us that he has been with the Marines for eight years and is now a 3-Star General. Wendell says that while he was on an inspec- tion tour of his troops in Japan, they were entertained by Bill Rowdon and Ernest Liechty, two of the top actors of Holly- wood. It so happened that one of Hollywood ' s Talent Scouts saw their senior class play and offered them a contract. Further down the street we see Arlene Habegger, the math teacher at Adams Central. During the summer she assists Walt Osterman, a famous scientist who recently discovered a new perfume the girls are all raving about. He is now trying to find a new way to kiss without spreading germs. We finally reach our car and what ' s this we hear on the radio? That was a joke? . . . It ' s comedian Don Dick who re- cently replaced Arthur Godfrey. After Arthur heard Don ' s pro- gram he decied he might as well retire while he still could. Oh, look out! That girl ... we almost hit her! Why it ' s Eileen Funk and she ' s dressed all in black. When we top to see if she is all right she tells us that four days ago her third husband passed away so she is very sad. But she says that her good friend The Reverend Willis Nussbaum was a great com- fort to her because he officiated at the funeral and made all the arrangements with Earl Johnson, the friendly undertaker. I hear Earl is building up quite a business for himself. We express our deepest sympathy to Eileen and continue on our journey home. Well, we finally reach home. Boy, what a day! Who would have thought so many things could happen in less than twelve hours! Now for some good music- on the radio and we ' ll be ready to settle down with the evening paper. But wait . . . what ' s this?! It says here that the coach of Notre Dame, after twelve losses and no victories, has just resigned. And guess who it was? Yes, it was Eugene Weber, another classmate of 53. He states that he might have been able to accept the losses and the misfortune of losing a player with a broken leg, but when Roger Longenberger, his star player, decided to quit the team and marry Marilyn Durr, the famous model, well — that was just too much for him to take, so he decided to resign. Marilyn, who became a model soon after graduation, is plan- ning to leave for a tour through Europe in a few days so she and Rog decided that this would be a grand place to spend their honeymoon. Boy, wouldn ' t it though ! We also read that Mary Michaels, who recently won the Miss America contest, has just completed her tour through South America and will give a lecture at the Community Build- ing in Monroe tomorrow night on How to Get and Get Rid of Boys. That we ' ll have to hear! Listen!! Flash suddenly bursts forth from the radio . . . We interrupt this program to bring you a special bulletin from England. Coleen Hirschy, America ' s swimming star, has just completed her swim of the English Channel in the record- breaking time of three hours, two minutes, and four seconds. What next?!!!. Well I guess that just about takes care of the class of 1953. Oh, wait, we almost forget two of the most important guys. The other day when we were in town I saw a notice posted on the town hall. It said that in a few weeks the city of Monroe will be entertained by the great Ehrman Circus owned by Kenny Ehrman. One of the main attractions will be Kay Ratdiff and his six ferocious lions which he captured himself in the Australian jungle. They tell me Kenny has quite a show and that it is rapidly putting Ringling Brothers out of business. HMM-M-M ! I ' m sure we ' ll all enjoy that! Well, this has been quite a day, hasn ' t it? I hope you have enjoyed visiting the class of 53 as much as we have. Now it is time to say So long until next year when it will then be the class of 54. Compliments of IDEAL DAIRY BAR Decatur
