It was a dark stormy night as the creaking little train wound up the Py- rennes of north eastern Spain to the hidden village of Proximo de en Ninguna Parte, which translated, means Next to Nowhere. Nowhere was 15 miles farther down the line. The date was Friday, November 13, 1962, and time for the re- union of the Class of 52 , C. H. S. As the train pulled into the station, two dark figures descended to the platform. After casting wary glances hither and yon, the two men, dressed in pulled-down hats and overcoats, with one man sporting glow-in-the-dark orange stockings, hailed a cab and were whisked away to a large old mansion. Before entering the ponderous oaken door, the two stopped to listen to the wierd strains of Bumble Boogie being played on an out-of-tune piano. On crossing the threshold, they were greeted by the happy voices of all pres- ent except two who were playing checkers in the corner. These two were silently and steadily glaring at each other; they had not made a move in twenty minutes. One was the famous laboratory technician who had recently found the cure for acute hiccups and was known by the name of Lois Jane Rollins. Her op- ponent was the equally famous Ray Richardson who had coached the Vassar All-Girl football team to three Rose Bowl victories. The gentleman at the piano was the noted barroom pianoist. Jack Foreman, who had gained a place in the Musical Hall of Fame by introducing boogie-woogie to the Boston Philharmonic Orchestra. Margaret Rundall, the noted Parisian cafe singer, and Richard Millman, world renowned automobile designer who had invented earth's quietest car, were talking about the strange habit of wheels falling off trucks. Seated in front of the fireplace was Connie Hall, a nurse who had re- cently assisted a doctor from Albania in quelling an epidemic of hangnails in a colony of pigmies in darkest Africa; and there, too, was Carolyn Lloid, the noted model for straw hats, who ran a bookie Joint on the side. Zelda Marshall, voted Mother of the Year, was trying to get one of her nine children down from the chandelier. One of a pair of men who entered the house was the flashily dressed Dick Hohstadt, the millionaire Holstein breeder, who had crossed his cows with kangaroos with the result that by their constant Jumping around, they produced butter. His companion was Bob McHaley, world traveler and do- nothing, who had not settled on any one occupation, but at present was hunting for the home of the Amazons as a scout for Richardson's All-Girl football team. Why the village of Proximo de en Ninguna Parte was selected for the re- union is not known. However, one day back in 1952 during a class meeting when everyone was talking at once, some wise person slipped in this motion. True to form it was passed sans knowledge, sans discussion, sans anything. Sponsored by: UNION CASH GROCERY REUTER HARDWARE Union, Oregon

The Junior Class put their noses to the proverbial grindstone and began the school year by electing for pres., Jack Lane; vice pres., Harry Hoadley; and sec- treas.„ Doris Hoadley. The Five , so called because that is their total member- ship, demonstrated much spirit by taking part in student activities, selling cookies and cupcakes during noon hours and by maintaining an active rivalry with the seniors. We're Young Only Once , a teen- age 3-act comedy, and the Junior-Senior Banquet and Prom proved to be the high lights of the year for the class of '53
