He had received several letters from members of the class who could not attend the reunion. The first letter was from Phyllis Abrams, -who is private secretary to an executive in New York. lt was also announced that she will be giving up her position as secretary, and be getting married before too long. The next letter was from the tall red head of the class, James Geber. He is now stationed over- seas in the navy. The third letter was from Mrs. Marilou Howard Wilson, who is living in Texas with her husband. The last letter was from Mrs. Linda Kratzer Simmons, who was unable to attend because she could not find a baby sitter. A phone call was received from Shirley Clemonds, who is a Wac. She said that she was to be discharged in a few days, -and would be getting married to a Peorian. The table in the comer was completely filled with teachers. All during the meal they were- seen discussing their many school problems. Among these were, Kathryn Gibbs, -who is teachin at E.C.H.S., Judy Haines, who is superintendent at the grade school, Virginia ilill, who is professor of English at the U. of l., and Jeannette Moravek, of the grade school.

Across from him is the balding John Bridson. He now owns several of the Mobil- gas service stations, and there is a rumor that he is planning to purchase more out of state. The old faithful forward, Bill Howard, was also there. He has a welding shop in the south-east part of Elmwood. Dale McBeth, who now sits in top engineering position in Chicago, discusses some of the old basketball games with Dr. David Wilson. Dr. Wilson erected an animal hospital in Peoria not too long ago. Across the room sat the former Ag students. At the end of the table was Charles Garrett. Charles was the first member of the class who married and is still the same happy Chucky. Next to him sat Mickey Crouch and Bill Schoenbein who talked about the new types of farm machinery. Buddy Silzer flew in from California and remarked that he has one of the largest Corriedale farms in the West. Ronald Goetze, another farmer, was also included in the group. Raymond Kolowski, who is farming south of town, is waiting for Lieutenant Mary Lou Weber. They plan to be married in June. At another table sat Bonnie Rice, who is Superintendent of Nurses at the Methodist Hospital. She, Fannie Moore and Peggy Miles, also nurses of the sur- rounding area, were discussing new drugs with Medical Technologist, Dian Winn. Also at the table with the nurses was Billie Book, who is now married and living in a twenty room mansion in Oak Hill. Mrs. Marcia Norris Neal, who was attired in her usual black, was talking to Jean De Ford, secretary and receptionist of a Peoria firm. At the last table Gladys Wilson, now owner of Wilson's Pool Hall, sat with Mrs. Rose Dunham Johnson, and Mrs. Beverly Dembinski Craig. Ruth O'Hearn, who is married and living in a log cabin in the woods, was also among the group. Joe McCoy, pitcher for the Cubs, gave a short talk on National League Base- ball.
