Bill looks over the scenery as he and his wife, the former Mary Louise Eckery, cruise to New Orleans, Louisiana, where he looks up his first classmate, Bud Herr- mann, who is president of the Elgin Watch Company. Bud invites Bill and Mary Louise to his new ranch style, all modern home to meet his wife, who was Liz Buck, and his four children. The next morning, bright and early they all start out together to visit their next classmate, Jim Morgaridge, He is busy raising pigs on his large farm in Arkansas. His wife, Barbara Christenson, and his twin girls help him. Jim shows Bill and Bud around and they talk him into going on with them to visit their next classmate, who lives in Indiana. He is none other than Lee Fischer. Lee, they find out, is half owner of the Indianapolis Speedway and also president of it. He has won the Indianapolis 500 for the last six years with his 38 Ford. Bill, Bud, and Jim find Lee at the speed way and he takes them to his house where they find that Lee hasn't married yet. Lee decides to leave the speed way long enough to go along with the rest to see the other classmates. The next place along the way is Texas, where Jim Hermance and the former Nancy Bickford lives on a 100,000 acre ranch. Here Bill abandons his car and they all climb into Jim's huge plane and take off for New Mexico, where Dick Clark, now a producer, is looking for new prospects for his coming movie, Mexico In America. His leading lady and also his wife is the former Betty Burgen. Dick decides to post- pone the production on his movie to continue with the rest to visit their last class- mate, Darlene Johnson, who lives in California. They all gather in her huge mansion and have two big wonderful nights of fun and talking about old times at dear old Alvo High. As the time nears for everyone to leave, Darlene, who has just received a divorce from her husband, Robert Wagner, decides to go back to xNebraska and marry her secret love who has kept in contact with her through the years. They all bid each one good-by at their respective homes. 12 JUNIORS MARY LOUISE ECKERY President Music..........................1,2,3 Dramatics......................1,2,3 Paper..............................3 Annual ........................... 3 Class President....................3 Vice-President.....................2 Secretary-Treasurer................1 Volleyball.....................1,2,3 Pep Club.......................1,2,3 Cheerleader......................2,3 Student Council....................2 ELEANOR KELLOGG Secretary - Treasurer Music.........................1,2,3 Dramatics.....................1,2,3 Paper.............................3 Annual............................3 Class President...................1 Secretary-Treasurer............ . . 3 Volleyball...................1.2, 3 Pep Club......................1.2,3 Cheerleader.......................2,3 MICKEY LIPSKEY Vice President Music...........................1,2,3 Dramatics........................1,2,3 Basketball.......................1,2,3 Football. ...........................3 Track................................2 Paper................................3 Annual......................... .... 3 Class President.....................2 Vice President....................1,3 Student Council......................1 MARILYN SUTTON Music.........................1.2,3 Dramatics..................... 1,2 Paper........................1.2, 3 Annual............................3 Volleyball........................2 Pep Club......................1,2,3 14 ARLAN NEBEN President NOBLE FISHER Class Reporter BOB GARCIA LAVON HOWE Secretary - Treasurer FRANK PORTREY CAROL ZOZ Vice - President ELEANOR GILMORE BONNIE OLSUFKA 16 DALE ROELOFSZ Vice - President CAROL FISCHER Class Reporter ROGER GILMORE 'P'leA ineti Photograph not available JIM VINCENT President RITA HERMANCE EVELYN FISHER Secretary-Treasurer MIKE HEIER NANCY PRINTZ 17 'pMtfaUl Mickey Lipskey.
