Not so very long ago, twelve years to be exact, I decided to visit one of the institutions of our town. Since it was all new to me I was quite bewildered at first, but then when they explained that we were merely going to participate in some guided tours about various subjects I became less apprehensive. As time wore on, the other members of the tour arrived. iley, Joann Olson, Connie £laude.

December 15, 1985 Dear Diary, Last week when I arrived in Chicago after spending thirty years in Hawaii as a pineapple buyer for the Earlville School cafeteria, I saw the names of some of my old classmates in the paper. The first name I saw was Janyce Seaton's. It seems that she had just had the distinction of being the first woman from Illinois to be elected to Congress. There was also an article on a millionaire, Jim Norton. It said he had made his fortune manufacturing pinball machines. Also in the news was Bill Coffey who had just been chosen Mr. America” of 1985 and an article on a book written by Bill Pointer, a philosophy teacher at Shadyside College. When I opened the paper, I noticed an advice to the lovelorn column. It was edited by Sonja Nielsen. Later, I stopped in a health bar for a glass of milk and saw Sharon Sutton on television. She was a woman wrestler. I was so engrossed in wrestling that I didn't notice the man next to me until he introduced himself. It was Jerry Smith. He told me that he was an undertaker now. He was also able to tell me what had become of some of our other classmates. It seems that Edith Snelling is a book- keeping instructor at Earlville; Ruth Tuftee is a nurse at Belvue; Sharon Gould has her own beauty shop; Connie Prater is married to a stock car driver; and Bud Swayze is a prominent hog raiser. Betty Whitlock has a band called Betty and Her Babes. Her singer and guitar player is Norma Coble. After I left Jerry I returned to my hotel, and I had no sooner opened the door than the telephone rang. It was another schoolmate, Lee Wiley. He, too, had just arrived in town. He said he had spent the last eight years in Africa as a missionary to the Pygmies. He told me he had stopped in Earlville and that he had seen Delores Ryg and Alice Youssi. Alice now has her own restaurant and Delores is a farmer's wife. He also said he had heard that Roger Cantlin is a guide in Australia for teachers that come there to shoot wild boars, that Delores Claude is editor of True Confessions magazine, and that Phyllis Gast has done quite well for herself in the manufacturing business. She makes canes, crutches, and wheelchairs. It’s really strange, when you stop to think about it, that, out of our class, not one of us ever ran for President. LARRY TAYLOR
