'SENIOR CONVENTION OF 195O' 1 TelegremI shouted the messenger boy, Louis Stefanich. Jlllpv ing up, I hurriedly tore open the telegram. So Robert Hase eyer was giving a convention for the class of '57. Good old Bobby! That would be fun! Just in time, I caught the train for Chicago. It jerked sud- denly and I landed in the lap of Marjorie Badger! Was I embarrassed to ask her how her husband, Art Anderson, was? But excusing my- self, I hurried on. Pausing to buy a paper from'Earl Greenstreet,I saw Mae Dauphin and the town mayor,Walter Gillen, also on their way to the convention. There was much excitement aboard for Margaret Janssen had just announced her engagement and all were enjoying the celebration. The lucky fellow was Donald Welker, world renowned for his invention of a new type of fertilizer, I The conductor, Pred Wcrner,seemed to behaving difficuliytry- ing to get the ticket away from Leo Pechauer, who insisted the ti- cket was his--he'd paid for it. Just then Leo's eye caught sight of Lib Larkins and Dorothy Martin and he submitted the ticket and rushed over to greet his classmates of long ago. Descending from the train, we were welco ed by Donald Welker's village band. Then a rattly old village hack drew up to take us to our hetel and out hopped none other than Robert Vickeryl The pageboy, Melvin Vickers, announced that the convention was to begin in 15 minutes. People started.moving toward a huge ae- sembly hall, ' The convention began with the singing of The Bradlegm High School so g, played by organist Veronica Toliuszis and acc panied by Eugene Hayes on the mouth harp. The realistic tw1ttcringof'b1rds was given by Robert Vickery. At the rapping of Chairman Robert Hasemeyerls gavel, the crowd quieted down and were greeted by Beaucie Hubert. The invocation was given by Reverend Carl Casino. A speech of welcome was 'given in French by Henrietta Legris, in Latin by Earl Greenstreet, and in English by Walter Gillen. The cheering of the latter's speech woke Melvin Vickers, who had dozed off to sleep. 'Elizabeth Larkins, known as 'Lib, the Mind Reader and Philcre- pher, answered questions concerning affairs of the heart, home, and business. Mae Dauphin and Fred.Werner seemed the most agitated over their problems.
