SMPMWW In the year of 1980 Mr. Tony Blair, editor of the Boston Cronicle had decided to do a news story on the typical U.S. town, Eaton, Indiana. He chose this town because it had grown tremendously in the last 21 years. It seemed that the class of '59 had given it a real boost. He was introduced to the mayor, Gary Clevenger, who accompanied him on a tour of the town. First they visited the Canning Company where Tom Butterfield was manager. The ed- itor learned from him and several of his trusted employees, Dave Chenoweth, Dick Craw, and Dennis Morgan, that Eaton had produced many outstanding men and women. Among them was Don Love, who was head scientist in the experiment that sent Joe Ashcraft and Terry May to the moon. Working with him on this experiment were Don Pippin and Mon- nie Love. After leaving Mr. Butterfield, they visited the school. As head kickball coach they found Mic Balle. Other members of the faculty included Irv Hart, head of the department for educating intelligent morons, Jim Ratican, head of the girls physical education depart- ment, and Budge Hahn, principal. This town seemed to have a secret for success. What could it be? When Dick Ross, captain of the police department was asked what it was, he said that he couldn't quite pin it down , but he thought Gene Pittenger, manager of the junk yard might have the answer. Mr. Pittenger wasn't in his office, but his secretary, Vicki Pratt, told them that he was attending a convention for brown-eyed cat lovers with Ted Foust and Danny Besser, a big success in the manufacture of Handy Dandy can openers. Elizabeth Harless invented the original can opener. They were still determined to find out the secret of this town. So, they went to see Mr. Cap Prewett, a U. S. senator who was visiting his home town. He told them that the town board, which included Larry Smith, Danny Benner, and Mary Brenner, had devised a unique plan that must remain a secret from everyone except the President of the United States, Larry Kane. As they were leaving Mr. Prewett, they noticed a parade coming down the street. So, they stopped to watch it. Leading the parade was Wally Sanchez, town marshall. Follow- ing close behind was none other than Mary Jones, Miss America of 1980. Her attendants were Nancy Bixler, Sharon Mixell, and Margene Brinkley. As the parade progressed they noticed another member of the class of '59, lt was Myrna Shonk, model homemaker of the year. Following up the parade in their new fire engine were Janice Eltzroth, Janet Morris, and Dianne Stewart, the nation's only women of the fire department. After the parade, they visited the beauty salon to see what the latest hair styles were since this town seemed to set the example. One of the beauty operators, Wanda McAllister told them that the hair style for the coming season would be the empire created by the famous hair stylist, Glenda Herron. She couldn't talk to them very long because her cus- tomer, Janet Wright, who was a famous fashion model, was urging her to finish her hair so that she could keep her appointment with Don Weaver, president of the Eatonite Movie Studio. So, they walked down the street to the library. But on their way they met Mary Hold- ren, president of the sorority for snake lovers. She told them that Rosemary LaMar had just won Sl, 000, 000 on Peg Dorton's quiz program, What do you make of it . In the library they found that Janet Ward was in charge of books that make your eyes bulge and Lulu Mae Roach was information clerk for spacemen. To conclude their visit to this town they interviewed Linda Ward, Judi Shirk, and Car- olyn Eppardg model citizens. Eaton had come up to their expectations and was even more outstanding than they antici- pated. To be sure, the citizens were proud of their town. 21
