Many Moon Iune, 1961 Dear Diary, I relaxed in my easy chair today and thought how, when I was a senior at Eastern Academy, it had seemed odd to think of a rocket flight to the moon. Here I, John Drukker, had accomplished the feat. I remember distinctly the view I had from the moon and how I could watch the members of the class of '51 go about their duties through the whole world. The first place I looked, diary, was the old home town. It was early morning and the sun was shining brightly. The students and faculty were arriving at school. Among the faculty were several members of our class. Barbara De Bell was in the history department, Gertrude Faber was teaching language, Minnie Klopman a new course in art, and Kay Velzen and Don Vroon were in the physical education depart- ment. Down the street from the school Elaine Doran and Henrietta Englishmen, now Mrs., were talking over the back fence. Walking down the street was Iackie Wattez who was coming to decorate the interior of the ladies' homes. lack Stelpstra and Lambert Hazen were expected to come and paint the outside of their homes.

I heard him ask Bob if he would like to go fishing. Bob said he would and why not ask Bandstra and Wisse the rich bankers to accompany them. They gathered in Ebe's streamlined convertible and took off for Fellema, Ioustra, and Gros Farmers Inc. to do their fishing. As the afternoon increased in hours I returned my gaze to the city. In one of the leading cities of New Iersey I saw Don Verbeck sweating it out in preparation for another operation. Ready and willing to assist him were Alma Trouwborst, Wilma Kuiphoff, and Hermiena Oosthoek. Down the hall Doris Vande Ree was intently gazing in her microscope. Across the street from this hospital was a big grocery store owned by Iohn Oosting who employed Bud Ruit as butcher. This massive build- ing was erected by Sweetman dt Van Eck Inc., builders and contracters. In another section of the city Bill Vermeulen was the operator of a
