efddd gfwtofuf It was a lovely spring morning of April 8th, 1960, as I sat in my beauty shop o Capital Avenue in Indianapolis, Indiana I sat there thinking of eleven years ago and m Senior year in Eden High School A I sat wondering what had become of my nine schoolmates the shop door opened and I arose to face a young woman who was none other than my old schoolmate Susie Rash Susie told me she was a private nurse but worked most of her time taking care of her husband and 16 months old son We sat talking for a while and during the time we heard an ambulance go by with sirens screaming Susie and I rushed out of the shop and down the street to where a crowd was gathering Two cars had crashed together and several people were hurt As we were standing there watching I noticed a young lady questioning one of the uninjured passengers of the cars As I glanced more closely I dis- covered it to be another schoolmate Kay Oneal She soon finished and as she turned around I caught her attention She hurried over to us and told us she was the chief reporter for the Chicago Tr1bune It seemed she had gained her goal in life She said she was in Indianapolis covering a story for the Tribune when she heard of the wreck It seems that two of the people who were hurt in the wreck were fro Chicago We walked back down the street to my shop and Kay phoned her story of the wreck to Chicago We then decided we'd try to round up the other members of the 1949 graduating class and have a reunio Susie said she knew where Doris Alford was, only now her name was Ward She had married another schoolmate Gene KShortyl Ward in 1950 and was now the proud mother of three young boys She and Gene were living on a large farm near Eden and Susie proceded to call them It had been decided we'd meet at m home and Doris said if Effie would keep the boys she and Gene would be there She also said she would get in touch with Earl Garriott who was a veterinarian in Greenfield She said Earl was married and doing well in I them put a call through to Fortville where Virginia Bennett lived and in- vited her and her husband to our party She had married Gene Alfonte in June of 1950 and she was now the mother of a small boy and a five year old girl She said she and Gene had planned to come to Indianapolis to a show that night but they would gladly come to the party instead The last phone call went to Shelbyville where Carolyn Snider lived Carolyn was now Mrs Charles Monroe She was married in December of 1949 and had two s all girls She answered the telephone and was very much surprised to hear fro She said she and Charlie would be there if nothing stood in their way Susie, Kay and I then got on a bus and went uptown to one of the biggest Radio Technician Schools in Central America It was owned by Lester and Chester Bedell We entered the school and found Chester and Lester both working hard at their desks It seemed Chester was married and Lester was anticipating marriage in July They both said they would be there, so Kay, Susie and I left and each went to our separate home Each member of the class and their wives, husbands and fiancee were at my home at 7 30 Each member introduced their unknown members to the rest which in eluded my husband who no one knew but Virginia We had a wonderful time reminiscing of the days in Eden High School until 1 30 when everyone decided it was time to part But each member left with the feeling that the 'good old days in Eden High School' will never be forgotten By Kathryn Land I O .. s U 0 O Q O O O I O 0 O business.
