SHARON MYERS just flew in from New York where she is the top recording star of the country. Her latest record, My Pillow's All Wet From Tears Running Down My Cheeks While Lying On My Back Crying Over You Blues, just missed getting a gold record. As a consolation prize she received a pound of putty and a bucket of hog livers. RAY CHAPMAN has practically stopped time. The calendar makers have gone out of business since Ray retired from the pin-up photography business. It was just last year that Ray laid his eyes on their last leg . JACK MOULTON, the world traveler and big game hunter, is a bit perturbed over his SI I .40 fare to Bunker Hill. The rickshaw runner gave him the business by taking the long way through India. Jack's most harrowing experience happened in Africa when he had to rush out of his tent and shoot a wild elephant in his pajamas. How the elephant got in his pajamas, no one will ever know. Getting the tusks off was quite a problem. ERNIE JARMAN was a famous TV announcer until he made his prize faux pas, Have you tried Buppert's Reef. Now he spends his time looking for dinosaur tracks and climbing mountains in his top hat, cut-a-way and 2 toned spats. JUDY EDEN made her famous expedition to the Artic Circle in l97O. Here, it was love at first sight and the beginning ofa long happy marriage for Judy and the Abominable Snowman . Mr. Abominable couldn't attend tonight--he's home in the deep freeze. In the winter they operate a peanut stand at Skunk Hollow. CHARLES VAUGHN just flew his rocket in for a landing. He is the only member of the class who got into space. He is stationed on the planet Mercury His work is top secret, but word from the grapevine says he is bringing back samples for thermometers. ORLAND SNEDEKER'S first book, Fun In An Undertaking Parlor was a smash hit. The public is eagerly awaiting his second book, The isothermal Transformation Of Austenite In Molybdenum Steels to come off the press. If you can't get a copy--wait --it's going to be made into a movie next year. ED SCROGGINS got snapped into orbit when he started dating Ray's pin-up girls . He is known as the suspender snapping man about town now. He can afford his frivolous activities by virtue of being the president of the Malipoofsky Dog Biscuit Co. Ed was instrumental in perfecting a dog biscuit which tastes just like a mail carrier's ankle. EVA GOEBEL is back in the states for the first time in 25 years and just because of the reunion. She hasn't changed much in looks, but oh, that costume--a genuine psuedo leopard skin sack, a witch doctor's head piece, and a pet leopard on a diamond studded leash . You can't buy the latest fashions in deepest Africa. She is affectionately known as Great White Mother among the Wambutti Bug-A-Boo pygmies, to whom she has devoted her life Eva has taught them cheerleading and in return they have taught her to be the hottest bongo drums beater in all Africa . Too bad she can't stay longer than the night, but she fears that the natives will become rest- less without her. After an evening of exchanging tall tales and wild experiences, the 25 year reunion comes to a close. Never before and probably never again will Bunker Hill see such an array of varied occupations and talent as assembled by this class of '59. For the class of fifty-nine, A class that's really fine, I tried to write a poem, But I couldn't write a line. I couldn't find the word That best describes their zeal, I couldn't tell about their trip, It didn't seem quite real, And then it came to me one night, Just like I knew it would, And I wrote this poem about their trip, I knew I surely should. A TRIBUTE TO THE SENIORS by Ken Jenkins They all worked hard, to aid the cause, To make this trip exist, And only one was made to stay, Her name scratched off the list. They worked together, hard and fast, To make the dough roll in, So much against them, yet I know They'd do it all again. Washington was the goal they set, For not a class had been there yet. Everything's ready, They've nothing to fear. We think of them And the goal they seek Comes first to mind, As an exciting peak . A peak of joy and pride to them, A peak in life, To each of them. They made it their life, And yet not all, They kept up their studies Spring, Winter, and Fall. They sacrificed Gave all they could, It took all they had, As they knew it would. Oh, they're still not there, But yet so near.

.. il' .rx 0V f Lg if 6 Class Prophecy It is late in May in the year l984, almost 25 years to the day that 26 seniors walked through the doors of B . H. H. S'. with diploma in hand ready to seek their fortunes. Now they are coming back to Bunker Hill for a reunion. Of course, the thought running through everyone's mind is--I haven't chang- ed, but what will the others be like. The anticipa- tion is soon to be over because PEARL SCHREIBER has just arranged the last flower and is awaiting the guests at Pearl's Palace, the state's most luxurious supper club, located on a slope overlooking the beautiful Bunker Hill Reservoir. RONNIE MORRIS has canceled his engage- ment at the Astor Hotel in New York in order to bring his l50 piece all girl orchestra to the gala occasion. Ronnie married one of his trombone players and now they are making beautiful music together. GEORGE HESS is the first to arrive. George is a very successful physician, but he looks a little tired. Little wonder--he has delivered l0,000 babies. He is now working on a complicated formula for instant people. DORIS FENSTERMAN drives up in a Cadillac fall people from Texas drive Cadillacsj . Doris got her start in an odd way. She read somewhere that if you plant a feather, you can grow a chicken. Sure enough, that's what happened. Now she has millions of chickens . Who could be far behind Doris but SHIRLEY BUTLER. Shirley has a very responsible position with the Blow Big Bubbles Corporation. She is chief bubble gum tester. GARY BLAND drives silently up in his i960 Rolls-Royce. Yes, Gary is a changed person. Here he is driving a 24 year old car which has 999,000 miles on it and the original set of tires. Gary doesn't have to be a hot-rodder anymore because he gets his kicks out of sliding through the oleo that is dropped on the floor of his oleo factory . JUDY KAMPWERTH is the next to arrive. No, Judy didn't marry Ed Brown as everyone expected, but instead, has made a name for herself in the labor industry. She works for the Michigan Cherry Pickers Association and is in charge of all delinquent cherry pickers. Her big problem at the moment is to figure out a way to get the workers to hang by their nose so they can pick with both hands. There's a friendly fellow. Ole hand shaking, back slapping Congressman BILLY WOOD . Of course, he's here for the party, but he's doing a little politicing on the side. He is trying to get backers for his latest bill--build a mile high wall around Illinois to keep the California smog out. DAVE DUBBELDE has made tracks with his long foot and short hand. He is personal secretary to Mrs . Picklesimer of the Picklesimer Precious Pickle Plant. Dave can be considered prosperous, considering the fact that he gets paid with pickles. CAROL ALDERSON isn't really making an en- trance with a new rock and roll step. Carol has an occupational disease. She moved to California after graduating and has been chief grape stomper for the wine makers ever since. MALCHUS BAKER comes ladened with autograph ed books for everyone. He is publisher of the Spook, Spook, and Sadie Garfinkel Corp. His best sellers are comic books for high school students and books from the Trail of the Tingling Spine series. Every- one wants to find out more about Sadie, but Malchus isn't talking . Everyone's mouth drops a little as HELEN JOHNSON makes an effected entrance in a black iacket and high heel tennis shoes. Helen became a teacher as planned, but found the life too quiet and subdued. She is now squadron leader of the Black Jacket Motorcycle Gang . This couldn't be a member of the class. Yes, it is! JIM NEEL with a beard to his knees. Instead of seeking his fortune out in the world, he has brought the world to him. Jim is producer, director and star of the annual Passion Play in Bloomington . JEANETTE ENKE limps in. She is recovering after being gored by a bull while fighting in Spain. Jeanette got a thundering ovation for that fight. After being wounded, showman that she is, got up, fought the 4,000 lb. animal bare handed and em- erged victorious. That's throwing a lot of bull. Everyone knew it was DENNIS HUNT when they saw the State Police car roaring in with red lights flashing and sirens blowing. He worked himself up through the ranks from garbage collector to General of Police. Dennis grew with his job. He is down to a mere 375 lbs., but he's been sick. He became a national hero for his outstanding work on the Cracked Piggy Bank case . JUNE RENEAU has made a cool million in the sporting goods business. She manufactures flexible one fingered bowling balls. The hole in that ball is so flexible that you can stretch it over your head and wear the ball as a hat. In a pinch, it can even be used as a spare tire. BILL RAYMOND has become indispensable to the medical profession through his inventions and discoveries. His mechanical back scratcher has been an invaluable aid to people with short arms. He has just received the Nobel Prize for his machine --the Burp Catcher. This is expected to bring re- lief to thousands of belchers.
