Joyce, it seems, had become an airline stewardess and the job had become so much of a routine that she never knew whether they were in the air or on the ground. Joyce stepped out through the door while they were in mid-air. The pilot was charged with negligence. The three of us were so tired of riding that we stopped in for a floorshow. Delbert Jury and his orchestra were providing the music and Lulu Belle and Scotty were the main attraction. This great team was composed of Raymond Peterson and Marian Martin Philadelphia was the next whistl e-stop. Arlene and I started down the main drag to shop, and we ran into Sally Crabtree on one of the comers. She had given up her math career and was now travelling about the country with a flea circus. Bruce Edwards, she told us, was her main barker. Along the way we ran into Melvina Hiepler. She had recently won the world ' s plowing contest and was now on tour. She directed us to the office of Eugene Krieger, who was a renowned psychiatrist. We had a pleasant chat with him before leaving. Derril bedell wad destined to go down in history books as the first man to ever bail out of a plane without a parachute. At last we had arrived home l Haven ' t we forgotten someone? No, we haven ' t forgotten them; they ' re residents of Ellendale. Guy Bobbe is a prominent business man now that he has taken over the local welding shop. Duane Wanttie also resides here; he runs a restaurant. Guess which one. Bob Bymers is now Ellendale ' s mayor, and he is working diligently for a six-day school week. To the south of us is Canny Slemmons, a great surgeon, in the up-and-coming town of Gage, South Dakota. All we can do now is sit and wait for our guests to arrive for the reunion. But waitl We forgot something. We forgot to tell them the date. OH, N01 1951 Ellendale High School Yearbook - Coleman Museum 2017
