I wondered what had happened to my old classmates and decided how nice it would be to find out. Going into Ellendale I met two of my former classmates. After telling them of my plan, K ndel Cofell, Lawrence Beaver, and I, Betty Houghton]; started out in Kendel ' s new Rolls Royce to see what the world had done to our classmates. Kendel ' s Rolls Royce barely fitted into the metropolis of Winship, but we managed to stop and see Roger Kendall, who is now leader of the Winship first grade rhythm band. Traveling farther south and west our next stop was Cheyenne, Wyoming, where we were attracted by a rancher who looked as if he had gone ber- serk. Much to our surprise it was Bob Higgs, whose wife had just presented him with a pair of redr-headed twins. Unfortunately Bev was still in the hospital and we were unable to see her. After two flat tires we hit Seattle, and we took an afternoon off to watch TV at one of the local cafes. A handsome, smiling face stared out at us. Who should it be but our ever loving jokester Jack Hammy Helder. And get this Jack was announcer for Campbell ' s Soup ' .!! The next number on the TV show was Kenny Dockter, who just made a hit with his latest recording, Bawl . Leaving TV behind us we strolled out into the streets where we heard cries of k Extra l Extra 1 Deciding to spend a nickel, we bought a paper. These headlines n struck usr Stanley Kern, head man of the Alcatraz Ball and Chain Gang, had just in failed at his last attempt to swim to the main land. Leaving Stanley to his woe, we moved in on Southern California. As it was such a hot day we went to the beach for a swim. Wasn ' t that a familiar figure over there? Why it was Herb Wagner modeling men ' s bathing suits. After a short chat with Herb, we journeyed on. Our destination was Dallas, Texas, where we met Marilyn Neumann. Famous for her trip to the moon, Marilyn was now preparing for her flight to Mars. By the way, Marilyn had developed a very distinctive Southern accent. She informed us that if we went down to the Power ' s Department Store, we would find Verna Kosel modeling the poodle hair cut. o - Motoring on to Tampa, Florida, we found Bob Schonberger lounging in his club. u- He was slightly down hearted as his eighth wife had just divorced him. Bob had reached fame as an author; his latest book was How To Keep A Wife . Going on we cruised by Atlanta, Georgia, where we noticed that the Mrs . America contest was going on. We stopped in time to see our Lorna Maack crowned j Mrs. America . We talked to Lorna for a few minutes and she told us that •1952 Ellendale High School Yearbook - Coleman Museum 2017

JoAnne Heine is now A1 Capp ' s model for the wolf gal. Our next stop was the nation s capital where we found Peggy Hatfield as North Dakota ' s first Lady Senator. Grace Bell was visiting with Peggy. Grace was a famous hillbilly singer on station PU in Tennessee, starring with The Churchkey Five New York was next on our list. Here we found Shirley Vick, the leading romantic actress on Broadway. Shirley informed us that Joyce Evans was her roan- mate and worked as hostess at the Stork Club. Passing the Madison Scpare Garden, we decided that as long as we had a few extra minutes we would go in. There we saw DeLores Nitschke, who had succeeded Barbara Ann Scott as figure skating champion. Traveling on to Boston, we stopped at Vassar College, where we saw a familiar figure on the campus . It was none other than Norman Aman, who was professor of mathematics at the college. We talked with First for a few minutes before we started on our way to South Bend, Indiana. Here we found Don McShane, who is coaching football at Notre Dame. By the way Don talked, he was trying to raise his own football team. Homeward bound we stopped in Chicago for supper at the Argon , where we found Alfred Trautman. Alfjr , turning to music for his career, had succeeded Ralph Flanagan. Traveling farther west, we came to Minnesota, where we found Esther Schaller Griffin. After tiring of sailing the wide blue yonder, she and Marvin settled down to farming. We hated to think of our trip ending, but we were now on our way home. We left Kendel in Aberdeen where he has succeeded his father-in-law as manager of the Capitol Lounge. After our long, but wonderful trip. Fat and I were happy to see ELlendale. Fat rushed right down to the Thompson Yards Lumber Company, which he now runs, to complete another baby crib— not for sale. He and Marilyn have quite a going concern. Now, thinking it was time to go home, who did I see but Newt Davis. Newt is now farming his father ' s place and has become very success- ful. The trip was now over, but our minds were still on our old classmates. Somehow we would see each other again soon. 1952 Ellendale High School Yearbook - Coleman Museum 2017
