artist for International Studios of Hollywood. They were approached by Nancy Hepler and Loretta Kaczmarek, trapeze artists for Ringling Brothers Circus. These four started over to greet us when they were detained by Earl Reagan and Edwin Schmitz, owners of the Lazy Time Dude Ranch located in Reagantown. The mistress of ceremonies, Dolores Verostko, called us to attention, and announced that several prizes were to be awarded. The first, for having the largest families, were given to Florence Hodgkiss and Charles Moore. The prizes for the most unusual occupations went to Patty Kozer, who trains pigs to play the piano, and to Marie Leonard, who polishes jelly beans. The final prize went to Donald Walsh, for having the most pleasant job-that of selecting girls to model Jantzen Bathing Suits. Ken Lehman, who now owns his own studios, took photographs of our reunion. We are enclosing a few of these to show you what we look like. See if you can figure out who we are.

CLASS PROPHECY Dear Mr. Davis, We are sorry that you were unable to attend the 10th anniversary of the graduation of our class. We know that you are probably anxious to find out what has hpppened to us after all these years. We will try to give you as good an explanation as possible of the events of our reunion. As we pulled up at the Stork Club, we were met by Edwin Dillinger, who pointed out to us the new jet-propelled auto designed and driven by John Bandemer. The first person who recognized us was Judge Earl Bollinger, who asked us to join his party. We hardly recognized Bob Findley, owner of a famous chain of restaurants, and Louise Davis, one of his well known hostesses. At the same table was Jack Cole, who is currently singing with the E. Z. C. Ranch Girls. Music for the evening was furnished by the Blue Boys Quartet, consisting of Ronald and Donald Gratzinger, Waddy Grippo, and led by James Shaw. Orchestral music was provided by Kathryn Hresko's dance band. At dinner we sat beside three East Huntingdon teachers: Albert Miller, French teacherg Blanche Wick, Elementary teacher, and Irene Brodak, Gym teacher. The after-dinner speeches were given by Senator Florence Potoka, Don McCloy, famous orator, and George Stepanic, coach at Notre Dame. A style show was then presented by some of our classmates. The designs were made by Martha Dye, Thelma Fenton, and Patty Kachmarek, and modeled by Connie McCloy and Nancy Crouse. When the evening's entertainment was over we danced. Eugene Livingston, well known Arthur Murray dance teacher, and Robert Lineberry, prominent movie star, asked us to dance with them. However, after just a few bars of music, Eddie Kimmel, manager of the Pittsburgh Pirates, and Admiral Andrew Fada, cut in and asked what we thought of Carol Ruth's great channel swim. After dancing we were quite thirsty, so we went to the refreshment table. There we met Virginia Stoner, who had just completed a piano concert tour, and Andrew Soforic, famed writer of crossword puzzles. Huey Vincent, President of the Scottdale Bank, told us that Beverly Walsh owns a chain of drive-in restaurants. John Berg and Joanne Shaffer came over to join us. John is still advisor to the President and Joanne is an airline hostess. Joanne told us that Gladys Edwards is head nurse at the Mayo Clinic. Dorothy Brodak and Maxine Brothers work there also. Nancy Car- nack is a nurse at the Walter Reed Hospital. As we were leaving the refreshment table we met Robert Colbert who told us that he is stage manager for South Pacific. While talking to him we were joined by Ralph Fretts, who made a million dollars posing for Sealy mattresses, and Charles Geckle, designer of Atomic Toys for Children. They informed us that Fred Hayes had just resigned as head of a girls' camp to join Edward Swartz to search for gold in Alaska. The fabulous eomedienne, Barbara Miedel, and Thomas Soforic, pitcher for the New York Giants, invited us out to the terrace for a breath of fresh air. Meredith Trout and Ethel Wat- kiss were out on the terrace also, discussing their impending trip to the moon. With them were Harry Weitzel, noted physicist, and Jack Zimmerman, chief ranger in Yellowstone National Park. As we were talking, Theresa Morgan, Singer Sewing Machine consultant, joined us. She told us that Phyllis Porter and Joanne Myers are secretaries for a New York Real Estate Com- pany, and that Patty Muha is the first lady editor of the New York Times. Patty has just written a book on the missionary journeys of Beulah Pritts. The models for the Toni ads: Margaret Johnson, Ruth Ann Fox, and Ken Yezek were on the terrace also. They were conversing about the big snuff factory that James Hiles opened. A few late arrivals were Marlene Geary, who came all the way from Texas, and Tom Shirer, 62
