Upon entering the building I noticed a sign . . YOU FISHUM -- WE'LL TACKLEUMR' After Linda graduated from high school, she went to the You Can Get Him If You Try Busi- ness College. Joyce went to the I'llGetHim Business College. After College, since they had been such good friends in CHS, they decided to start a business of their own. While visiting with Linda and Joyce they mentioned a big show at the auditorium which one of the main Broadway stars was appearing in. After I had done a lot of walking I decided to go to the show more or less just to rest. When I reached the auditorium I read a sign saying Pati Thompson starring in DON'T FORGET ME. The name soundedfamiliar and sure enough on the stage singing at the top of her lungs was Pat Thompson, my old classmate. After the show I met Pat backstage and after a brief talk learned that she had taken voice lessons in Hollywood and had received a break in a Talent Show, where she later became famous and well known. I, the spirit of the Class of 1959, have wandered enough to find all of the members of my class and since I am so tired I think I will lie down to rest with this last thought -- May luck and good fortune continue to follow the CLASS of 1959. l f Q V , A , - 4 6 X?
