QJLoaa JWapAecy. The day has finally arrived . . . June 18th, 1965. Beautiful, blue, and majestic, the Andover Pond serves as a perfect reunion place for the class of 1955. Small sailboats and many people swimming are seen. Our class was very lucky, for all of the food and beverages were donated by the district manager of the Nu-Way stores, Ernie Weirich. Fred Johnson was kind enough to pick up the members of the class from all parts of the country in his taxi fleet, which has made him one of the wealthiest men in New York City. Miss Doris Barnhart declined a ride with Fred in favor of her newest, bright yellow English B.S.A. motorcycle. Miss Barnhart collects these from all parts of the globe. One of the guests of honor at the picnic is Dave Marsh, the newly elected Mayor of Elm Valley and new proprietor of the fabulous road-house called “Dave's.” Miss Janet Lang Astor Vanderbilt Black Taylor is the envy of the ladies present. She has a two carat diamond from each of her previous four husbands. She is a permanent resident of Reno. The entertainment is being furnished by the renowned Metropolitan star, Miss Catherine Mickle, who is famous for her many types of voices. Mr. James Connor, the Paramount Pictures leading man, has just arrived. He still has the trophy he won for the best looking man in Andover. What is that noise? Moo-moo. David Conde’, the leading dairy man in the vicinity is arriving now. His favorite cow, “Bessie” has followed him. Those basketballs seem to be stuck to Ed Harkenrider’s hands. Since he has been playing for the Boston Celtics he hasn’t been able to get rid of the balls. Probably one of the best or the best cook in the senior class was Anne Harvey. Although Miss Harvey has just won the world “goose berry pie” contest at Paris, she was kind enough to fly back for the reunion. Michael Smith, now a professional wrestler under the name of the “Arctic Seal,” is having much fun showing the rest of the boys a few of his wrestling tricks, one of them being his famous “Roller Coaster” hold. We did have trouble recognizing Mary O’Dell and Barbara Clark. Both Miss O’Dell and Miss Clark are modeling for Harry Conover, and receive a copy of each article modeled. Patricia Baker now holds a most unusual job. Always seeking adventure, she succeeded in discovering the undersea city of “Atlantis.” She is now Queen Patricia. George Wheeler is so busy with his business affairs in the salmon fishing industry that he sent along his brother with one of the largest salmons ever caught in the Columbia River. It was sent in a specially chartered plane. Realizing her high school ambition. Miss Sandra Bostwick has become THE buyer for all clothing stores in the West. Miss Bostwick is never seen without her hound dog “Fifi.” The Theron Burdick, Donald Lewis team have finally patented their new formula for a potato. The amazing thing about this potato is that it is red, white, and blue, and the arrangement resembles the flag. Joyce Fuller and Lorraine Cornish have taken over the very lucrative business of undertaker in the communities of Wellsville and Andover. They agreed to give us a sample of their embalming method today. Every Sunday in the newspaper you see the comic section “Horsey.” The author and illustrator of this section is none other than our own Duane Scribner. You all know “Speeder” Kemp, usually known as “Dick.” Always interested in cars, Dick has now perfected one that runs on energy taken from the weather, whatever it may be. Les Paul and Mary Ford were famous ten years ago. Now, however, they have been replaced by the team of Richard Burger and Alura Grossman. As you may have guessed, Richard plays the guitar and Alura sings. Yes, oil has actually been found on Pingrey Hill. After drilling for ten years Roy Halsey struck oil and is now the richest man in the country. Francis Vickers, better known as “Butch” is back from his hunting trip to Africa. He has brought the class a tiger’s tooth as a souvenir. Charles Howland and Avery Mead have not been separated yet. They have taken over the Funcrest Roller Rink and do a feature skate every night. Mrs. Bluebelle, the former Miss Lucille Smith, arrived with her famous penguin Liberace” which proved to be one of the main attractions of the reunion.
