explained the charges to him and though Mayor Stangle didn't generally advocate corrupt government, he dismissed the charges against them. lAfter all, Homer and Palmer were blood brothers.j Darkness was just beginning to descend as they left the Mayor's office. A huge neon sign of a classy niteclub on West Boulevard was flashing on and off. Niteclubs had never held a particular charm for him, but there was something different about this one. As they entered it, he suddenly knew why. This was the small restaurant Thelma Huls- meyer's dad had started long ago, and after he retired, Thelma took it over and converted it into a nite spot. They checked their coats at the door with Beulah Braun. She had been working as hat-check girl ever since the niteclub had opened. The headwaiter, Willard Heintz, showed them to a table and took their order. They sat down and glanced around. Mr. Fogt recognized a lot of celebrities to be his ex-students. Don Schwartz and Larry Bell were there, and upon catching their eye, they ambled over and joined them. After talking over old times for a brief period, Don excused himself. He said he was scheduled to takeoff for Mars in his Super 56 Rocket the next morning. Don was ambassador to Mars, and he had to settle a few minor details in the peace negotiations with them. Larry was going to accompany him, as his mechanic. Funny thing! Larry had invented the -Super 56 Rocket, the only one of its kind, and no one else had yet mastered the mechanical parts of it. There's no doubt about it-Larry was a mechanical genius. Just then the orchestra, under the leadership of Lois Lacy, com- menced to play Stardust . Lois' string orchestra was considered the best in the United States, and it was plain to see why. Upon glancing at the couples on the floor, Mr. Fogt spotted Jim Hulsmeyer and Carol Watercutter. They were married now, and had opened an Arthur Murray Dancing Studio in Anna. They were also doing exhibitions on T.V. Homer reached into his pocket for a cigarette, but discovered he was out. He signaled to the cigarette girl, and Louise Counts slinked over. She greeted them with her usual b-ig smile, and though it was against regulations. she chatted for a minute. She told Mr. Fogt that he must definitely drop by Anna School before leaving town. Since Mr. Stewart had retired, Barbara Wilt had taken over as superintendent, and was doing an excellent job. Patty Bertsch was also on the teaching staff. She had taken over the girls physical ed. classes and had organized the best girls football team in the state. Mr. Fogt glanced toward the door just as Ray Bornhorst and Beverly Wrigley entered. Louise said that Ray was the president of a new ferti- lizer plant recently erected in Anna, and Beverly was employed as his private secretary. As the orchestra started to play the closing strains of their theme song, Mr. Fogt and Eunice rose to leave. While driving home, they discussed the events of the day. They both agreed that the Senior Class of 1954 had turned out extremely well. He yawned lazily. Suddenly he felt tired, but it was a peaceful tiredness. He knew now why he devoted most of his life to teaching. This Senior Class was his re- ward. GRILLIOT PLACE. McCartyville
