Let's slip up on 01' Man Time and turn the clock of years to May, 19—, to have a look on the prospering city of Dexter, Missouri. I ts see now, what changes do we see ——There is main street glowing with neon signs from tall, erect business constructions, an attractive and modern recreation center for the young people of the town, a beauti- ful and spacious athletic field which will seat 5,000 near the high school buildings, and the newest addition to the city, a radio station. In most homes in Dexter, the family is sitting around or near the radio, anxiously awaiting the broadcast of an extra-special program. An air of tense expectation fills the room, and finally the announcement comes------- Good evening, ladies and gentlemen—This is station KDEX extending to you an invitation to listen now for the broadcast of the reunion of the Senior Class of '52. Several years have passed since this class, which was one of the most outstanding ever to be graduated from Dexter High, left its halls to make their marks of distinction in the world. Tonight the entire class has returned to Dexter for an all-out reunion in the newly decorated Teachout Auditoru reunion in the newly decorated Teachout Auditorium. As we saunter past the tables, listening to the run of conversation, we nay catch phrases of incidents belonging to the good old days. Jerry Barbour, who now owns a chain of motels, will be in charge of the meeting; the featured entertainer will be Harriett Graber who has thrilled radio and television audiences with her torch songs; and comedian Arlyss Olds will lead the group singing. Just now arriving is the prominent Harry L. Anderson, noted authority on Parliamentary Procedure. He directs his footsteps across the floor to a table where several of his old class mates are seated. Greetings are exchanged and a fluent conversation gets underway. Delois Stacy, Mary Swinger, and Wanda Aarant, who have made a big hit on Broadway with their catchy trio numbers, are talking about their latest show which is being directed by Cecil Robertson and backed financially by the multi- millionaire, Doyle Roberts. Also at the same table are Jack Wood and Doran Vancil. Jack is now the proud owner of the Stinkless Cigar Company, and Doran is head of the Plumbers' Union in Denver. Seated at the next table we find a group of '52 Seniors who have gone far in their various fields. Here is W. R. A 11stun, who owns and manages the new ten-story Hotel Dexter; Jack Irving and Sam Jarrell have worked together and built the famous SamJack engine that operates completely with water for fuel; Dean Bennett, the discoverer of Red-Grow , a solution which when applied to the scalp results in a fine crop of red hair; and Bertha Walker who established a business school of her own after inventing a new and faster method of shorthand. Going on through the crowd, we catch a glimpse of Jim Jones, Number One Jet Pilot, who set an astounding record in flying with his plane, The Atonic Blonde. He is talking with Coach Carter Robinson, now training the football boys of DHS, and Wendell Dowdy, the school's truant -26-
