'P'lofiAecy It was nearly twilight when I arrived on the beautiful campus of Toops State Univer- sity, located by the rippling waters of Toops Lake, that fateful evening of June 4, 1974. As I was dreamily listening to the waves splashing upon the sandy beach surrounding the lake, I suddenly heard a terrifying noise. It came from Beachview Hall, the most modern building on the campus in which the annual End of School dance was being held. Upon entering the building I heard a loud voice roar, I can lick any or all of you, followed by a tremendous free for all. When the smoke cleared you can imagine my shock and surprise to see standing triumphantly in the middle of the shambles of the once gorgeous dance hall and surrounded by limp bodies, one of my old classmates, Jerry Hendrickson. Jerry admitted to me that it was he who had yelled the first chal- lenge but made me promise not to tell his house mother, who was, as Jerry put it, a pretty tough gal. After hearing all about this muscle woman I became quite fascinated and Jerry agreed to introduce me to her. Much to my surprise this terror of the students turned out to be another of my old classmates, Betty Johnson. She told me that right after leaving high school she had become a woman wrestler but retired after winning the Olympics in 1968. She also told me about the Dean of Students, Patricia Stucker. It seems that she had decided that Patti wasn't dignified enough for a woman of her position. I talked with Patti for quite awhile about old times and then continued with Jerry on my tour of the campus. He told me that she had become an old maid because she never found a man who could out talk her, and that was the only kind that could get along with her. We then strolled along Waterway Drive to look at the famous painting of a goose, the school mascot, since the lake used to be quite a goose hunting spot. While 1 was marveling over the painting Jerry told me that he could introduce me to the official mascot of the school since 1960. I know that you realize how proud I was to learn that this honored individual was another member of the old class of 57,” Bill Eller. Bill said that he had been elected to his position during his Junior year at the institution and had held it ever since because people believed that he was just the man for the job. With that we left Bill and went to meet another unusual member of the staff, the only man in the whole world to hold the position of Dean of the Home Economics Department. I certainly was surprised to find this to be another of my old classmates, namely Gary Onstot. Gary told me that he had started out in Engineering but had been elected chief cook at one of his fraternities sauerkraut and soda pop feeds and that the whole thing had been such a success that he had made it his life work. Just thinking about all of that sauerkraut and pop made my stomach start doing nose- dives and tailspins so I bade all my old classmates goodby and left so quickly that I got picked up for doing 125 miles per hour in a 95 mile zone.
