It doesn't seem pos- sible that so long a time has passed since I last wrote you. My, just think, nearly a decade has passed and I just found your new address. I suppose you would be very glad to know where all of the members of the class of l9h2 are and what they are doing. Suppose I tell you in brief but'very much to the point. They seem to run in some dippy, dizzy and super-colossal order as follows: At present Russell Semmler and Kenny Page are very skillful and much experienced machinists, in Bud Ehmen's Super-Duper motor plant making Ford racers without any tires. CDarn that rubber shorta5e.D , It seems as though Elsie Butler is doin5 a thriving business at her newly located 5as station at Middlebury. Well, it came about at last, Homer Williams and Baroara Grover are happily married. Homer makes a living by trapplnd in Hunts Jrove. lduite a happy couple.J Ed Calhoun is still en5a,ed in the California Pack- ing Company. Rather permanent don't you think? I was talking to Allen Root's father the other day and he told me that his wacky son had lived up to his expectations of becominp a horse dentist in Chana. ' Margaret Greenfield is havinj quite a hard time get- tin5 her kinderJarden kiddies to make paper hats, just like you're wearing. Paul Chadwick and Rita McLean are still settin, the pace for others, just as in the 5ood old days at A.C.H.S. Paul is now-a skilled driver of his Uncle Bob's nags. 1

Four long years we've striven together, To master our subjects in all kinds of weather. Some of our subjects were really fun, We waded through them, most on the run, While other assignments were really tough Of midnight oil we burned enough. But what if we did burn midnight oil? It certainly paid us for our toil, With teachers' help in trying situations We've reached a goal: our own graduation. Of Ashton High we have much to say, A wonderful school in a wonderful way A school board that's great and teachers too, What will we do, Ashton High without you? Graduation is not completed education, Let us strive to work upward to higher destination And make for ourselves an honorable name, Which some day may be written in the Hall of Fame. By Doris Bothe
