H. S., are at last ready for the press. Until the smoke had died away, it was not possible for anything to be learned, and though the reporters swarmed about the schoolhouse for several days, it was not until today that anything definite could be found out. The complete details of the reunion are given as they ap- peared in the minutes of the meeting. The reunion of the class of '32 E. H. S., was called to order by Pres. Barnes, in the auditorium, Dec. 10, 1952. A report of the activities of the secretary, D . m ell, in rounding up the Aiumni was read. The report is as follows: IM i A' Senator Jackson nformed me, Aug. 10, 1952, that a reunion of the class of '32 might be appreciated by the -rbpemlfrs and asked my co-operation in making the said reunion a success. I Immediatbwt set Rout to find as many as possible of my old class- mates and inform them of the impending aHray.W . My search took me iirst to Elwood, where Bill Wright and his Esquimoes were playing daily to capacity houses in the new and greater Princess Theatre. Directly across the reet I found the Klienbub Beauty Shoppe. Upon entering, I was accosted by M:: rel, who would have immediately touched up my somewhat bedraggled permanent, had I not politely but violently desisted. I K From the beauty shoppe, I staggered to Leeson's Hardware and encountered Bruce Allen, president of the Madison County House Thief Detective Association. Having first searched my person for a stolen house, he consented to accompany me to the Police I . Q - pdvrnff' Station in an attempt to persuade Chief Courtney to attend. Leaving the Police Station behind, we swung into the spacious thoroughfare that was Main Street. Down Main to Apgerson, thence to the offices of the Water Co., I.

F 21522 In the Anderson High School, we encountered Miss I-Iettmansperger, head of the Phy- sics Dept. and Prof. W. R. Smith, teacher of Chemistry. In the Post Office, we interviewed Miss Phipps, U. S. Internal Revenue Collector. She put us on the track, of fRipj Yohe, lately made Warden of Sing Sing. We wired a report of our efforts to Senator Jackson, who caused Washington, D.C., to reveal the whereabouts of Verl Dietzer and Lawrence Hirschinger. By running an ad in the personals column of the New York Times, we brought to light the Wilson brothers and Joe Brogdon. A similar ad in the Chicago Tribune brought a letter from Ray Legge, Mayor of Cicero, Illinois. Even with our almost miraculous success at finding the missing members, a great number of them still remained at large. Reading a newspaper one day, I chanced upon a picture having a familiar look. Consulting my Crescent, I found it to be none other than Bob Wesseler, millionaire oil man and partner of the original Weldon Shickley. This concludes the report of the efforts of myself and the United States Dept. of Justice to notify the members of the class of '32 of the impending reunion. I thank you. fapplause, applause, applause, applause, and still more applause.j A sharp disturbance, instigated by Billy Frazier and concerning peanuts, was quelled with difficulty. i Suddenly t-here came a knock on the door. Sergeant-at-Arms Brogdon, accompan- ied by Warden Yohe, answered the summons and discovered a very small and apparently feeble man of great age, leaning on the arm of a Boy Scout. The octogenarian proved to be none other than C. C. Hillis, he having been the victim of an unsuccessful opera- tion, intended to make him once more eighteen years of age. The Boy Scout was Basil I-Iosier, who had had the same operation performed with an exceptional degree of success. By this time the crowd had become large enough to occupy all the seats in the bal- cony and at least forty were sitting on the steps. The doors had been left open to provide a sufficiency of air, ventilating facilities in the Auditorium being fully as bad as in '32. The next attendance report was given by Ed Clark, the niffy veterinarian, owner of a dog and cat hospitable at Windfall. His report follows, ad verbum: Residing in Windfall are: Alton Gray, 'Beth' Ackerman, Ralph Robinson and Bob Evans, the great cartoonist. From Windfall I went to Kokomo, where I found Jack Lehr and Paul Faulstick trying to teach John Gmurk how to lay bricks. I became so interested in this spectacle that I seated myself on the brick pile to await developments. fno applausej I I xfa Ill
