eaahfz O 1965! Ten years ago we graduated from High School! Wonder where my old classmates are! Around Bippus we find Max, who owns one of the largest farms in the area. It is called The Bar X Ranch. Max was out checking the fences. His wife told me that Pete was PHSIOI of H beautiful church in Huntington. Pete answered my knock, He was the same old Pete, you RHOW what I mean. He seemed very happy, and said that his work was very interesting. He was thrilled over having a class reunion. He told me that Alice Altman had married Merritt Roth. They now have two children, Alice age nine and Jay age six. They live in a modern ranch type house. I could see a slick Cadillac in the garage. She was also pleased with the reunion plans. Sandra was Iay's teacher. Sandra is still single and doesn't even seem interested in marriage. I decided to spend the evening at home watching Television, but no picture would appear. It would soon be time to listen to George Gobel, so to the telephone directory I quickly hastened. The name, Larry Hoch, caught my eye. It was our Larry. He did not charge any fee. We convers- ed for a long time concerning class of '55, and the good times we used to have. I arose bright and early the next morning and decided to see if I could locate anyone via the telephone directory. Mr. and Mrs, Richard Shaffer. Dick graduated in 1954, but our Margaret was engaged to Dick, Wonder if Mrs. Shaffer could be Margaret? I jumped in my car, and soon pulled up in front of a very attractive home. It was Margaret who answered the door bell. Dick was an attorney, and she was his secretary. She told me that her sister Ruth and her husband Paul lived in the suburbs of town. She said Paul was doing very well with his factory work. Ruth leads a quiet life at home taking care of their little girl who just started to school this year. Margaret said she would get in touch with Ruth and tell her about the reunion, so I shall wait until then to see her. So back to the telephone directory! The next familiar name I found was Mr. and Mrs. Ronald Lancaster, I decided to call and save a drive. I had to try three times before I could get the line. Finally a lady answered, the voice sounded very familiar, and then it came to me it was Esther Wohlford. What was she doing there, of course they used to be childhood sweethearts. Then she must be Mrs. Lancaster. I told her I'd been trying to get them for some time but the line was always busy, She said it's like that all the time since Ronald became a general contractor, They've surely been keeping him busy, I was glad to hear he was doing so well. I asked her if they could make the party and she said they would be there with bells on, if they could get the regular baby sitter to take care of the twins. I checked my list and only one remained, Bob Vendrick. Golly! I wouldn't have any idea where he could be. The only thing I knew to do was to talk to his Dad. He could surely tell me where he is. When I arrived at the Vendrick farm, Mr. Vendrick was just finishing up the chores. Bob has a teaching job in southern Indiana, teaching Math and English at Vincennes H. S., and doing very well. He is still single. He just hasn't found the right girl and with the army, college, and everything he doesn't have too much time for courting. Mr. Vendrick guaranteed me, he would let Bob know about the reunion. Wow, this rounding up my old class was a bigger job then I thought, I can scarely wait until the reunion. I L..
