After Mary and Melva June had arrived at the station they were not a bit surprised to find Mr. R. D. Farthing acting as toastmaster, he was the man who had very patiently put up with them for many years of their schooling. The first couple who was interviewed, was a tall gangly man and an attractive blond woman. At first we couldn’t recognize them, then the man lifted his huge 10 gallon hat and when we saw that head of curly hair, we knew it to be none other than Clayton Peck, our class president. Sure enough the woman beside him was Mrs. Peck-nee Bonnie Lewis, she hadn’t changed a bit either for we had to ask her to step away from the mike a bit for she was popping her gum too loudly. We were saying goodby to the Peck’s when all at once we heard a terrible shriek from in the audience and when we investigated we found a goodlook- ing young man, with a large beany shooter in his hand, and not far away, looking as if her pride or something had been hurt, stood Glenda Freeman. No, Harry Abrams hadn’t changed much either. The next lady brought up to the stage, we found to be Mrs. Judy Smith, who had been our annual queen in 1950, who told us that Mr. Smith was seated in the audience, with their family, a small outfit of 4 sets of triplets, and that they were living in a small bungalow of 199 rooms not far from Eads. Approaching us next, we found a girl whom we knew very well in school; namely, Miss Margie Hoepner, who told us she was secretary to the president of C. U. For some odd reason Margie has never lost her fondness for Colorado University. Behind Margie came a very lovely lady whom we remember as Jackie Fluke, but who was now Mrs. Gene Bailor. Mr. Bailor was along too. Everyone was being seated in the dining room and the banquet was about to begin, so we would continue our interviewing from the dining room. I found sitting beside me Mr. and Mrs. Herbert Davis and he told me that they owned a large sheep ranch near Haswell now, and were doing very well on it. Seated on the other side of me I found his twin brother Hubert, who is a very famous scientist. Not far down the table I heard a woman talking, so I went to investigate and found it to be none other than Julia Mae Owen, who was very well known for her pure-bred Hereford cattle and her beautiful ranch house near Denver. All at once we heard a terrific noise, and turned to find a very distinguished looking couple, it was none other than Mr. and Mrs. Andy Haller. We knew her when she was Ethel Holter. While they were all having coffee, we decided to wander around a bit and who was the first person we ran into, but a very beauti- fully groomed lady. It was Miss Pat Watts, who told us she was proprietor of Patties Wack and Hack” beauty salon. Sitting farther down the table we saw a very rich looking, handsome young man, so naturally we advanced as quickly as possible, and found it to be none other than Bill Fischer, who told us that he was now head photographer for Getro- Molden Mayer, and was at present working on a film about the pharmaceutical works of Dr. I. Blownup and his assistant research chemist, Barbara Kerst Kammarcal. Barbara was al- so a member of our graduation class. Finding we had interviewed all of our guests we were about to sign off, then we thought of our class motto. The Logs Lie Before Us, Let Us Build”. We wonder if we have lived up to it.
