P P HE Y t JULY, 1958 Rosle and I had just boarded the train in'Akron lwe're at the Pediatric Hospital there, you know. Ros1e's superintendent of nurses and Ifm at the head of the infants? vardjifor Cridersvllle and gottin all our belongings settled when we noticed a man in a Navy of 1cer's uniform. We sat there admiring, of course, and trying to imagine what he looks like from the front. But you can't tell much from the back of his head, except that he had blabk hair, so we casually went to the end of the car for a drink. And when we got a buster look at the slender Navy Lieu- tenant, we both gasped gggmag Roger! and went to sit with him. Nor nhftold us that he was on I way home-after receiving a card from some member of the Class of '48, which stated that there was to be a picnic in the Cridersville Memorial Park. Ros- ie and I-had received similar cards, also. We started reminiscing, of course, and laughing about old times and all the fun we had in school. How fortunate we were, but we d1dn't realize it then. Finally, after a long while, we began to run out of words. I picked up a Chicago paper and began to glance through it, when my eyes fel on a famil ar sight. picture of Qggn.Qgggk on roller skates could most likely be in any paper. She was a professional and had had several offers from Hollywood, but Joan was married Cshe used her maiden name only for her professional life! and wished to retire soon from her career. She had made her fortune .nd bought a lovely home in the suburbs of Crldersvllle, where she could plan her future activities as a social worker. While reading about Joan, I heard Rosie ask if Qgg Harshe and Ed o lln were still buddy-buddies of Norman's. It was no great shock when I heard that Ed was the very prosperous owner of a 300-acre farm. I always knew that would be his life-work. I be- lieve everyone in Czidersville has heard of Harshe's Dairy. Yes, sir that summer Don spent working at Decker's was certainly well-spent. ,I'l1rbet Mr. Decker never dreamed that some day this same lad would own and manage a competitive dairy. But even these two large firms cannot furnish products enough for the metropolis Crldersville has grown into. SNorman also told us that Lloyd Corson was working in the chem- ical laboratory of the Ford Company at Dearborn, Michigan. He always did seem to grasp Mr. Critesfs teachings in chemistry eas- ier thain.the rest of us. Maybe now he has a chance to put the borax bead test he enjoyed so much to a practical use. The first thing we did after arriving at Cr1dersvllle's huge railroads station was to grab a booth and, after calling our folks, we called ggth 3ltch1e's beauty shop-or Ruth's Modern Salon--to see if Ruth couldnit set our hair. She was extremely busy, but said she would handle us personally. When we walked into her shop--and it certainly was modern--we commented on her unusual decorating scheme. Ruth told us Kitty Reilly for galley still sounds more familiar! had been her interior decorator. T e whole thing was so original, that she d1dn't have to continue telling us how successful Kitty had been in decorating the lovely

After Ruth did our hair--and I must say after looking at it w understood how Ruth had built up her businesseewe had some Spar 'W -. ,ft QL-nf.

Glennes brought us a letter which she had received from Jean Shealy. She lives on a ranch in montana with her husband. They raise horses which any person interested in racing has heard o t Yes, they certainly are famous. One of her horses, Winged Wauu der, won the Kentucky Derby two years ago. Maybe you saw Jean's picture in the paper with the winner. Wwell, Glennes, we really must run along. See you tomorrow at the p1cn1c,N for she had received a card, too. The next day dawned beautifully, and we arose with the Sun at 11200 A. M. CLate sunriseej Mothers are so kind, aren't they?4 Our basket was all packed by the time we were ready. The picnic was to be at 1, but we wanted to get an early start. It's hard to tell what kind of Sunday traffic you'll run into driving through Cridersville. But even with our early start, we were met at the park by Mary Spyker and Helen Snider. So they were the ones responsible for all those mysterious pose cards going to fourteen certain people lincluding themselves, so they'd be sure not to forget! I We had known before that Mary and Helen had gotten employment in the of- fices of the Lima Tank Depot, and when General Motors took the plant over, Helen and Mary had been advanced to the head of the office. Helen was Hbossn over general office employment, and Mary was personal secretary to the manager of the plant. Yes, their shorthand came in handy!! We talked, and as our conversation grew, so did our group grow --until finally the fourteen members of our graduating class were all present with their wives and husbands. And after congratu- lating Helen and Mary for thinking up the idea, we left saying, WSee you next year at the picnic of the WC1ass gg 'gQ'.W ,2 n I
