All of a sudden we hear the sputtering of a souped-up car. Who should saunter in but Rolland Rickard. Ricky has madea career of stock car racing and has driven in the famous Indianapolis Speedway races, coming in first four out of five times. Joyce Winne, our class English star, comes in next with Beverly Snyder. Both girls live in Albany where Joyce is an English teacher and Bev is a secretary. Both girls are engaged but haven't set the date yet. Who is driving the herd of Ayrshire cows up Main Street? Why it s Paul Schrull' Paul is a successful farmer now but he is still thinking up new tricks The other two Pauls of the class of 59 came in next They are Paul Rodriques and Paul Deselets Both have Joined the service and are making a career of it Paul Rodriques has married a girl from the class of 60 but Paul Deselets is still looking And who is driving up so late? Why Gordon Clapper' Gordon spent some time in the service but is now back home on the farm He S got his eye on the one and only but so far has been too shy to pop the question But the very last to come the one who was always late is Karen Parsons Karen graduated from the states liberal arts college and then settled down in a small community near her hometown Yes the years have changed us all We are now adults with greater re sponsibilities than we ever thought possible Yet the years have been kind to us and therefore it is possible for all of us to sit down at the table for a few care free hours of reminiscing By Karen Parsons L ll -ew M , 3 'jk ff Z M 7 Fifi 59 U7 . . . . . . , ' J . , . , . . . . . , .
