widely attributed to his earlier inheritance of the Jones-Laughlin Steel Corporation of Pittsburgh. While on my journey home, I stopped to visit JAMES SHIRKMAN, the owner of Sioux City’s most fashionable Bachelors’ Club. Incidentally, this town has become rather famous since the establishment of CHARLES CAMPBELL’S Camping Grounds. I was almost persuaded to remain indefinitely, but was recalled home by the Mrs. who reminded me of my marital status and place of residence. Almost reluctantly I returned home, only to learn of the many exciting innovations introduced into the otherwise normal living of hometown friends. It seems that PHIL CURTISS (the boy who had always liked pretty teachers) had received a new set of socket wrenches for Christmas and had seen fit to declare himself equipped for the jewelry business. Of news to me, was the revelation that BARBARA BROWN was now teaching fourth grade physics, and that ROBERT KAUFFIELD had returned for a refresher course in science; namely, physics. (Very strange coincidence, I must say.) BEATRICE ROOD has been taking vocal lessons from teacher JEAN MATHEWS for almost ten years, but still hasn’t found a way of breaking the monotony of the morning sessions in the school library. The Bobbsey Twins, MARIJO DUNNINGTON and RICHARD VOELKER (with the expressive eyes which fascinated our Lit. teacher), have decided to call Room 20 their permanent home, although allowed to occupy but one seat. MENDAL PAGE, who just couldn’t bear the thought of leaving the atmosphere of Government class, has been repeating the course ever since. WILLIAM STALEY has surprised the world with his discovery of a most potent pill by which one could master English grammar with only a gulp and a snooze. JOYCE CROMBIE and RICHARD OAKES have become well-to-do through their joint steam-bath and tree-surgery outfits; while HAROLD LADNER has suffered financial reverses in his Zooming Zephyr manufacturing concern. He attributes this to an excess of college sciences which have confused him in his scientific planning. JOYCE KAMPPI and EVELYN KENT have hired the town’s most eminent architect, FLORENCE RUSSO, to design an extra room for the exclusive use of Home Economics girls who have beaten a path to Junior High. MARGIE DAGGETT has erected a profitable Snack Bar which serves school lunches. (She sho’ can make dem griddle cakes and sho’tnin' bread as ah’s nebber tasted ’em befo'.) JOHN VENDETTI has gained fame by the Vendetti lovelies gracing the calendars distributed by the RUTH COX Calendar Company. DONALD ANTHONY is doing very well with his Angling Arcade. DICK SHARP has been married six times, divorced thrice; that’s all, however, that is known of his present circumstances. ROLAND VON OSINSKI has experienced vagabond days in United States; so he has now joined the Foreign Legion. MARY TAYLOR manages a chain of music stores and has employed FRED WAGNER as head Sales Manager. DALE WEBB has prospered in his used-cars business. His collections include models ranging from 1928 to 1934. CARROL ARMSTRONG is the test pilot for these vehicles, and he can really put them through the acid test. RUTH MATSON has become the nation’s top physical and chemical technician. Only recently she discovered a simple method of cooking water without evaporating the HO elements. A commendable volume entitled The Latest Trends in Winning Friends and Influencing People has been civilization’s heritage from the illustrious pen of LOIS KRAUS. The Know-lt-AII-Tribune, of which FRAN-NIE HOLDEN is the chief editor, has decided to publish this great work in twenty installments. Also appearing in the Tribune is the never-forsaken Advice to the lovelorn column written by ROBERT BYRON, the undisputed authority in this universal field of human experiences. Of especial interest today is the fact that the world has beaten a path to the door of KATHLEEN GRAY—ever since she invented the flawless mouse-catcher, guaranteed to captivate mice of all colors, races, and creeds. HELEN HAMMOND has become well-known as a composer of popular ditties, the latest being Faraway Gazes. We presume half the reason for the popularity of her songs is the charming interpretation rendered by chirping HELEN GOLASZEWSKI. VIVIAN GUSTAFERRO has started a new theater in town. The opening night was acclaimed a tremendous success; the film SUPER SAM became entangled in the projector, and before being rescued, it was shown continuously for six hours. It was certainly super! It is still 1959, and I have succeeded in rounding up the gang of unrivaled prestige and fame and vocational success. As all good things must eventually come to an end, even so must I bring an end to this epic of prophetical dreaming. Perhaps all my classmates may not meet with such highly desirable destinations; but let us hope their achievements in life may not fall too short of admirable accomplishments. 25
