In October the staff members enjoyed a veiner roast at Jubilee Park, and another party was planned for later in the year. Work on the Spectator has progressed continuously throughout the year. Different members ha e erpeged in taking pictures, gathering material for the book, or tyring the layouts. Although we had aome trouble beating the deadline , we pained valuable exoerience in literary and commercial fields. In future years we hope to be able to look back on our book as an interesting worthwhile project from which much pleasure may be derived.

In witness whereof we have hereunto affixed our hand and seal this twenty-seventh day of May lr. the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and forty-eight. I D CLASS Miai It wae a warm sunny day In July 1968 as I oaseed tnrough tne little village of Klckapoo. Twenty years had lapsed since I was In this small town, and It brought back memories of my school days at Brlmfleld High School when I often attended the social functions In Klckapoo. Those were tne days! Bob Porter, a Vice-President at Caterpillar Tractor Company, and his chaffeur had agreed to snow me the high lights of this town. I was surprised to leern that Bob Pacey, who 16 now married to the famous ballet dancer Puth Knlgnt, Is tne sole proprietor of the famous Domino Club that was formerly known as the Gllles Tavern. Ruth's old high school friend, Leona Heinz, wno was such a lovely brunette Is now a beautiful blonde, and she sings with John Watter's orchestra. They are known throughout tne world as the Hooey Hot Watter Heaters and tney have quite taken the place of Bing Crosby and Dinah Shore of the atomic forties. Breezing along for a while, we came to Boom-Town (that used to be known as Edwards Station). The Rlngllng Circus now owned by Turner and Lanoue war. playing there that day. Tne show was very highly advertised as the greatest of all circuses. Yvonne Is now starring as the beautiful equestrienne who turns sumersaults, fllnflops, backbends, and other gymnastic stunts on horseback. Duane Is specializing In tight rope walking. His deatn defying stunts high above the ground, are the talk of the circus profession. While we were witnessing their sensational act, the drums began to beat, tne band beean to play and the crowd to applaud. There appeared In tne center ring Virgil (The Flash) Traver and David (The One and Only) Myers, In the most amazing aerial trapeze act of tnls century. The crowd watcned breathlessly as they soared two hundred feet above the arena without a net or a safety device. After seeing tnls Circus I decided that I would cruise on over to Oak Hill and see tne new hotel which had recently been built by the great millionaire, Sgt. Herb Weeds Buy'em by the Carton Harding. After talking over old times for a while, Pie Introduced me to his wife, but Introductions really weren't necessary because It was our old friend Dorothy Short. This happy couple now has three small children, Petunlh Hugo, and Penelope. As I stood In tne lobby of Mr. Harding's Hotel Waldorf, I heard music from tne huge Blueroom. Upon Investigation I learned tnat Berta Slocum, our old classmate of '48 has Ijeen playing an extended engagement there. People from distant points come to near her play her special Jive Music. From Oak Hill I decided to go to Soutnport. I had heard tnat Homer Lauderbach's great Southport Pirates were to play Michigan In an All-American football game. I had a little trouble securing tickets until I discovered that Colleen Bennett was ticket manager. Even though twenty years have passed she is as pretty as she ever was. She owns and operates the huge arapnltheater In wnlcn I was seated as well as a great snare of tne business In this thriving city. Colleen has built up a fortune In railroad stocks. Once Inside I settled down to enjoy the game, but all at once I heard a voice I had not heard for some time. Looking around I saw Pat Dungan and her red-haired husband. Upon talking with-them I learned that they run a large and prosDerous dude ranch In Wyoming. They Invited me and any other old friends to spend our next vacation with them. Two days later I arrived at the big city of Elmwood. I heard that a new clothing store had been established. Since I wanted to see the changes that had been made, I went to the store and guess who was there. MARY MOTT! Mary owns the store and she says she has sworn off men for life, having had several unfortunate love affaire. I asked about a couple of other friends, Betty Howe and Wllladean Reinhart, and was told that they were both head nurses In Elm Haven, the most prosperous hospital In our midst. I hastened over to see these two girls. They have been friends for quite some time and It appears they always will be because they married brotners—twins, that Is. When I finally left Elmwood, I started for Brlmfleld because I realized that I had completed my aim and that my pleasant trip as well as my money was now at an end. I reached home well satisfied with the showing the class of 1948 was making In the world. -I r 4f T r •. Ab a field trip In Social Problems, we as Juniors made a tour of our historic state capitol, Springfield,with our teacher, Mr. Paul Blackford. We were introduced In the Senate by Sen.Clyde Trae-ger and we also attended a session of the House of Representatives. We went through the Centennial Building and the Governor's Mansion; we visited Abraham Llncolrfs home and the monumental tomb erected In hie memory. OUR 1947 fULD As a part of this trip we returned through Salem. Welearned much about pioneer life through seeing the restored village In which Lincoln spent his young manhood.
