This convention is to be held to review the medical advances which were made in the past year, 1969. I plan to attend and ask my laboratory technician, Clarann Harb. to accompany me. Clarann is now the head technician at the leading hospital here in Los Angeles, in addition to being my chief technician. We board a plane which is bound for New York. Soon we arrive at Idlewilde Airport. A new passenger terminal has just been constructed. The beauty of the building is quite astounding, so we inquire about the unique style which is employed. We are told that Rodney Miller, an architect, and Richard Hadenfeldt, a draftsman, worked conjunctly on the plans. Clarann and I then ask about Rod and Rich, as they were former classmates. We are told that they reside in New York City now. The next day we attend the convention. The guest speaker is Ann Marie Giffen, who is head of the anthropology department at Harvard. Ann, a former classmate, is the first woman to have the privilege to teach at Harvard. We have an enjoyable talk with Ann later. After the convention is closed, we plan to visit with Rod and Rich. We ask a taxi cab driver to take us to the address which we were told was Rod's. Soon we drive up in front of a stately mansion. At the door we are met by someone who appears familiar. It is Janice Meyer, who is now Mrs. Rodney Miller. Jan also teaches nursery school. Jan and Rod tell us that Rich plans to call later in the evening. They tell us that Rich is the father of two fine boys. Jan and Rod are the parents of two adorable sets of twins. That night as we are watching television, a familiar show, Keep Talking, ” comes on the air. They have a new guest star, Judy Baird, tonight. You can be assured, Judy is a huge suc- cess as she still has her wonderful gift of gab. (Cont. on Page 14)

Class Mis tory In the fall of 1955, twenty-one willing, eager freshmen climbed aboard the rocket ship, Success, bound for the planet, Reality. The crew members were Benny Armour, Judy Baird, Roger Burry, Don Fowler, Ann Giffen, Richard Hadenfeldt, Clarann Harb, Carol Harders, Carolyn Hawk, Dick Helzer, Bill Holley, Ronald Jakubowski, Loren Kennel, Trudy McCauley, Janice Meyer, Tom Minor, Earl Reed, Sandra Schlund, Rita Waddington, Marvin Welty, and Dick Worman. At the helm were Ann Giffen, Trudy McCauley, Janice Meyer, Judy Baird, and Rita Wad- dington. During the first year Dennis Lorance joined our crew and Dick Worman transferred to another rocket ship. Before the beginning of our second year Dennis Lorance transferred to a foreign missile. During the course of our second year Rodney Miller joined our crew. Jim Anderson visited our rocket for two weeks. Bill Holley, Loren Kennel, and Tom Minor were lost in space. This year those at the controls were Rita Waddington, Ronald Jakubowski, Rodney Miller, and Richard Hadenfeldt. During the third year we gained two crew members. They were Gary Anderson and Uinda LeBeau. Ronald Jakubowski decided the going was too rough and was left at the nearest space station. This year our able commanders were Richard Hadenfeldt, Rodney Miller, Ann Giffen, Janice Meyer, and Roger Burry. We landed on a man-made planet called Dream where we gave our junior play Coveralls. ” While there we also held the Junior-Senior Banquet, which had the theme of An Evening in Paris. During the summer of '58 Linda LeBeau, Carol Harders, and Sandra Schlund became air sick and were left at a nearby planet. At the beginning of our fourth year in space we were hailed by a space taxi. The passenger, Robert Hendrickson, became a new crew member. Our commanders for the last lap of our journey were Rodney Miller, Janice Meyer, Ann Giffen, Trudy McCauley, and Rita Waddington. Towards the end of our journey we stopped at the satellite called Hope where we gave our senior play. We were also honored at the Junior-Senior Banquet before continuing on our way. In the spring of our fourth year we reached our goal. Reality, and were awarded honors for skill and bravery. But our story has not ended, it has just begun. We, the Cairo High School Seniors of 1959, in the county of Hall and in the state of Nebraska, being of sound mind, do hereby make this our last will and testament. To Mr. Nelson, we will next year's math class in hopes that they will be as brainy as we were. To Mr. Hohnstein, we will our ability to keep from reading library books in the study hall. To Mr. Hashman, we will next year’s football team in hopes that it has a lot of weight. To Miss Platt, we will our ability to keep quiet and study during assembly. To Mrs. Ley, we will our ink erasers because she didn't let us use them in typing class. To Miss Link, we will the phrases, he don't and they was, in hopes that she may become used to them. To Harold, the faithful janitor, we will our sincere appreciation for the hard work he has done keeping the rooms clean and warm. To next year's freshmen, we will all our onions, turnips, spinach, and other things they don't like. To next year's sophomores, we will our ability to initiate the freshmen properly. To next year's juniors, we will all of those wonderful, old history text books. May they burn them all. To next year’s seniors, we will our nice, smooth desks, the rattley windows, the fire escape door, and everything else that goes with our side of the assembly. Our personal possessions we leave as follows: Will

Rich, who has arrived by now, tells us that the present mayor of New York is a former class- mate, Don Fowler. Rich says that he believes that Don's success is largely due to his eloquence as a speaker. Don and his wife, Carolyn, are living in the mayor's mansion. The next day we prepare to leave for home, but we decide to drive back to Los Angeles. Since Clarann and I have become rather sentimental from the renewal of old friendships, we resolve to visit Cairo, our home town. We are just outside the city limits of Indianapolis when we notice a poster which states that the speed-way is holding a spectacular dare-devil show the next day. Since we are avid fans of car racing, we can not pass up the opportunity to see this show. The main attraction of the show is Reckless Robby and his crew. The voice of the announcer gives pertinent facts about Reckless Robby before the show begins. We find that Reckless Robby's full name is Robert Hendrickson, who is a top contender for the world speed record. During the show a slight mishap occurs, and Bob is taken to the hospital. Clarann and I are interested in Bob's condition, so we proceed to the hospital. As we enter Bob's room, we find his wife, Pat, at his bedside. Pat tells us that Bob, who is still dazed, is not seriously injured. As we are leaving Bob's room after a short visit with him, we meet a patrolman at the door. We find that he is an old classmate, Dickie Helzer. Dickie tells us that he works at the speed- way and has been assigned to investigate the accident. We continue on our way to Nebraska without any more stops. Once in Nebraska we stay in Omaha overnight. That night in our hotel room we happen to read the headline story in the OMAHA WORLD HERALD. The headline story is about a new jet plane which is to be tested soon at Offut Air Force Base. The test pilot is a former classmate, Gary Anderson, who is a renowned jet ace. We visit with Gary the next day. Gary tells us that Leon Hinkson, an old friend, is now married to Trudy McCauley, who was a former classmate. He also says that the Hinksons are living in Texas. Clarann and I decide to go to Texas to see them. As we approach Broken Bow, we see a huge sign over a ranch yard gate which reads, Ben's B-B. We decide to investigate. Our suspicious are correct; Ben Armour, a former classmate, is the owner of this majestic spread which covers 10, 000 acres. Ben tells us that he also owns a Piper Cub Plane in which he makes trips to Grand Island to pick up supplies for his neighbors and himself. From Broken Bow we head to Texas where Trudy and Leon are living. Just outside of Mule- shoe, we see a rancher and his wife riding horseback. The riders halt and we ask about Trudy and Leon. To our surprise Trudy and Leon are the riders. They invite us to their ranch house for supper and to meet their six boys. By the way, the Hinkson ranch is now larger than the famed King Ranch. We are now homeward bound. We arrive in Los Angeles, and I leave Clarann at her home. My next stop is at my office where I see a sailor who is just turning to leave. I call to the sailor, and he turns. Once again I am surprised for the sailor is Roger Burry. Roger needs my services for a slight case of seasickness. After treating Roger, I receive an emergency call. One of the Los Angeles Rams has been seriously injured when he was tackled. I prepare to go to the hospital. By the way, Marvin Welty is the present coach of the Rams, who have not lost one game since Marv began to coach them. Later that afternoon when I, Rita Waddington, am at my office, I think about my recent trip. Memories of things gone by crowd into my mind with happy thoughts of renewed friend- ships.
