1043557 enior gfadd MOI? ec? On May 28th, 1954, nine proud seniors accepted their diplomas and set off into the different directions that their work took them. Shortly before they left they all agreed to meet again at their spot where they held many memories, good old Curlew High School. To them the 10 years that was agreed on seemed like a long time, but the years flew by and in no time it was time to meet again. As the bells tolled out the first is just arriving. Who in the, oh yes it's Larry Brixner. Larry, you know, is now the prosperous owner of a racing track down in California, and has a very famous horse who is now the world'e champion racer. Next is Gerry McQuinn who lives near Curlew, on a small ranch with her husband and 4 small children. Of course you all remember way back in '54 when she switched names and became Mrs. Green. She claims that they have finally completed their log house. What! we hear footsteps outside, yepg just as we thought, old prize fighter himself, Delbert Lindsey. Of Course you all know that he won the heavyweight title last August, and he says that he thinks that he can hold it for just as long as that old timer named ----- 'Joe Louis' did. We all think you can too. Good Luck, Delbert. About now the voices of Bill Monnin and Ronnie Borders are heard. Hum-m-m there seems to be a third person, yep! presenting the one and only, the great Mick Matthews. It seems that Mick flew Ronnie and Bill in on his new jet plane. He is, you all know, a very famous ac- cordion player in New York. You can hear him on the radio every night at 8:00 P.M. and see him every Sat. night on television on channel 71. Ronnie is a 7-star general leo he says? in the army, and Bill is one of the scientists who are furthering the progress on how to speed up Model A Fords. Next to arrive in an airplane is Faye Ells. She is flying her own plane called the 'Hook-um-cow', She tells us her trip was lovely. She came all the way from Guatemala where she and her husband own a large cattle ranch. She tells us they have introduced a new breed of cattle. Next is Bob Oliver. Bob is now a jet pilot and has just finished flying 16 missions over Moscow. Bob is now stationed at Curlew Air Force Base teaching aeronautics on the side. Last of all but not least is LaDonna Egner, or is it Hottell, who has just driven up in one of her many Jaguars'. It seems that she has made a wondrous paradise out of Death Valley, which they have turned into the biggest horse ranch in the world. Since all the seniors have now arrived they settle down and talk about many old times and soon it is time to go again out into this world of many things. Good Bye---Good Luck.
