elm: pzoplecy Ten long years have now passed since the senior class of 55 said farewell on the steps of ole' B H S and I made my solemn vow to visit all my old classmates Not knowing where to start, I headed in the directlop of good ole Batavia, now a big metropolis XM'nIe driving down the mann street of this beautiful city, I found Beverly Wood in front of the Batavia Daily Times Beverly was very busy and didn't have long to talk, for I found that she was editor of the paper and writer of the sports and gossip column Beverly said that she wasn't married yet, but was en goged to the assistant editor of the Times and that the date was not far off Beverly told me she thought that another classmate of ours lived near a small town by the name of Ottumwa So cranking up my old Model T I started on my way After driving for a while I came across a sign which read ' Registered Aberdeen Angus Cattle, the best in the land 3 miles west and and 2 miles south Wondering where these directions would take me, I decided to follow them After a few minutes I stopped my old lalopy rn front of a huge farm house It was a swell looking place, and I thought for sure some rich cattle buyer must own this As my car was about out of water I started for the door, as I got about half way, I suddenly changed my mind for charging for me were two of the biggest dogs I had ever seen Breaking all speed records ever known I climbed the closest tree I was lust realizing how close I had come to being made into hamburger when the door opened and invited me to stay for supper As I was filling my plate for the fourth time, Bull told me that he and Audrey had been haopuly married for some time and that they had sux small children Bill said he was doing very well, and he had the best herd of Angus cattle rn the state I could see Bull was very happy so after thanking them for a delicious supper and after learning that Kay Hill was in Son Francisco California, I started on my way I coaxed my old Model T Into San Francisco I found Kay in the office of the American Steele Co Kay told me she had Inherited the company from her former boss because of her fine work as his private secretary Kay seemed very happy as I learned she was now engaged to the one and only Liberace After their marriage she was going to rom her husband in playing the piano Then, she, Liberace, and George were planhlng to tour the United States and Europe playmg at famous places Thmkmg lt was about time I left, I asked Kay rf she knew where Margaret Whitmore was Kay gave ne the directions, and I soon drove up to a bug movie studio In Hollywood I had to walt as Margaret was busy making her present picture which was said to be another big hit Margaret is now the most popular and beautiful movie star In Hollywood When Margaret got through she took me to her fabulous home and introduced me to her husband who is a movie producer I8 . . , . 0 0 I 0 .
