Well, ya know he's runnng Mariots Essex House in N.Y. but I don't think that's the real reason he might not be able to come, he had to get Kathy's permission.

Look, Roger Skogen. He worked his way up through the managing ladder. First it was high school, then college, now he works for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Sounds like a good jo . Say, there's Nancy Ostle, she was voted most Artistic in High School. Now she paints fire hydrants in Bynum. Isn't that Reverend Gary Passmore? Sure is, he's the Reverend for the Circular Sect.

Did you see where HughHefner died and willed all the Playboy Magazine Company to Craig? There's Rusty, he looks every bit as big and strong as he did in H.S. He was kind of superhuman wasn't he? What's he do for a living? He's the editor of the Dailey Planet. That's kind of time consuming isn't it? Yea, but he hunts bare every once -in-awhile with Kelly. Doesn't he get cold hunting bare?

Her smile and laughter captured all. Her love was here to stay, Our chain of friendship built with her. Grew stronger every day. Some times were hard for our dear friend She struggled all her life. Her asthma that she wished to end, Had caused her pain and strife. Her problems made it difficult It's hard to realize. She never complained, but merely smiled, With her loving eyes. She worked and toiled for many weeks. She did her very best Kara, the one who did the most To make Oliver a success. Her spirit, love, enthusiasm. Her Personality, A precious gift to Choteau High, and our community. She made her life a part of us, Which we'd have never known. Now from earthly presence here. Like a little bird has flown. She leaves an imprint in our hearts. Our love will never end, For Kara loving, living, our companion and our friend. About four years ago there came into our town a shy person, Kara. She had a smile that was as bright as the sun. On entering Choteau High she was as happy as could be. Whenever anyone was around She would do what she could. Her laughter was shared by all and she always could smile. Then that dreadful night of January Eleventh we no more smiled. Our Heavenly Father found a need for our dear Kara and He took her to his home where she is looked after by him. Now just because our Kara's gone does not mean that we will Forget her friendly smile and all the love she willed. Our hearts are filled with happiness For God has picked the fairest of us all to begin our life above. She was dearest. 81 Faculty- Varsity Basketball Game Faculty Line-Up Our Yell Belles What a bunch of crocks!

Did you hear John Fishbaugh bought John Henry's? No, how's the bar business treating him? He likes it alot. He also changed to name to John Jacob Jinglehimer Fishbar and Chips. Did you know that Kristi is in the painting profession too? No, what does she paint? Rebuilt cars. What does Janine do? I just spotted her over at the bar. Janine works as a cocktail waitress in John Jacob Jinglehimer Fishbar and Chips. Who just walked in? That's Mike Larson. What a sporting jacket he's wearing. I wonder where he got it? Warm Springs-it's a straight jacket. Warm Springs? What was he doing there? He tried to rewire Radio Shack and got a buzz and he never has been the same. Boy, I bet that was a real shock to Joni! Well, looks like that takes care of everybody. Ya, nice B-Sing with you. I think I'll go refresh my drink. Well, just remember what happened in High School.
