SsmjuoAA- K 4X1 Marlene The ‘Wheel of Fortune” keeps turning, turning, turning, and the town of Duncan keeps growing smaller and smaller as the years go by, until finally it is the year of 1973, when the class of ’53 is having its reunion. The total white 1 population is normally five but it seems to be rapidly increasing. As we wander around and gossip with each and everyone of the class members, we find that Lottie Marv Helen AULVIE BOURGEOUS is living on his large farm in Franklin. It consists of ten acres of run-down cotton land. He says if he has a real good year he can afford to buy both a pair of second-hand overalls and a new shirt. He has sacrificed a lot to come to this reunion, we can tell. Hark! We hear the rumble-rattle of a horse and buggy. The population of Duncan has arrived—RUBY CHRISTENSEN, her husband, and their three children. We see a tall, grey-haired woman approaching the door. What’s she doing here? Oh, it’s our old classmate PEGGY BARLOW. Since Mrs. Clark’s retire- ment, Peggy has taken over. They tell us that the worry of trying to make a volleyball team out of three kids has turned her hair grey Who is this driving up in the bright red Model-T hotrod? It’s our old friend and buddy, SAM FOSTER, master of the under-world since Castello’s exile. We can’t help noticing CHARLEEN SCADLOCK, flirting as usual. Seems she’s still trying to catch herself a man. She’s even reverted to trying to perfect a man-trap. Looks like two girls from the class of ’53 stuck to their high school ambi- tions. Yep, JANICE RAPIER and MARLENE SMITH are happily married tc their “guys.” Here comes someone in a helicopter. It’s VERNON STINSON, the great aviator; he’s been flying around the world in search of the four comers of the earth. Say, we hear hoof-beats on the trail. It’s BILL HILL, the famous jockey, on his still more famous horse, “Slowpoke.” What’s Fernando Lamas doing here? And who’s the cute little gal tagging after him? It’s MARY HELEN REYES? Why, that’s right, she married him!! Say. whose snazzy Cadillac is that sitting out in front? Is that MARY JANE SPAW wriggling out from under the wheel? It is!! She says she’s engaged to her boss. She’s such a good typist that he wants to marry her so he won’t have to pay her a salary. Laurie NORMAN ALLRED has finally got himself a wife. The only way he coulc get up the nerve was to take a swig of fermented grape juice. Poor NADINE STEVENS! After so many engagements, the men finally gave her up. She’s an old maid school teacher now. The last person in the world we expected to be a tramp was WAYNE O’DELL, but he is!! He just came in, in the box car of the last special of the dav. Janice Rapier Nellie and Mary Jane
