331 North Market St., Escalon, California, May 25, 1958 Dear Wanda: I'm so sorry that you and Harry couldn't come to our reunion but Detroit is a long ways away. The reunion was held in Roy Hyson's New Ambassador Hotel in downtown Escalon, and nearly everyone was there. Kenny Cooper, the new Idol of the Air Lanes, and his band furnished the music, and those three charming debutantes, Esther, Iune, and Gladys, put on the floor show. Needless to say, I enjoyed the banquet most of all. And no wonder, for Bob A. is the head cook at the hotel. He must have learned something from Miss Reek- man's cooking class. Mary Powers told me that she was still taking P. G. at E. U. H. S, so she could be near Miss Stockholm. Now for a shock. Bill S. had to give up skiing. Yes, Edith insisted, and he had no choice. Vera has finally succeeded in gain- ing Harry's attention, for Belva's interest is all centered upon her husband Albert R. and their twin sons. Lenore and Frank Adrian are raising cattle in the Burwood district. Ploy Trager is wearing a diamond purchased by Harold E. from the H. Martin Ieweliy Co. You know Harold is president of the Escalon Bank now. You'l1 laugh to hear that Bruce, now head track coach at Cal, has finally persuaded Ed H. and Opal to transfer from Stanford to Cal. Mary Silveira and Pat C. are expected to win honors in the Olympics to be held in Farmington this year-Pat in swimming, and Mary in the high hurdles. I haven't time to more than mention the rest. Iuanita is a fashion expert here in Escalonp Stewart Erskine and Lena W. are dancing teachers in South Africa: Evelyn G. is an old maid school teacher, and is she strict! Oh yes! Curly has a hayseed orchestra that he thinks is tops, and you must have heard Buck Mini and his two side-kicks, Al S. and Kay C. on the radio. I guess that's all now, except for the best and most exctiing news of all which I have been saving for last. Carl and I have finally figured a way for me to be more than his first cousin. I am now Mrs. Carl Willard Gushe. lsn't that thrilling? Do write and tell me how Harvey's Udell Speedster is selling. Bye for now, GENE. 1112:

STUDENT BODY As we look through the newsreel covering the past year's important events of the Student Body, we can see that this is one of the Student Body's most success- ful years. The Student Body Officers are as follows: Al Sorrenti, President: Gene Iackson, Vice-President: Opal Bergen, Secretary: Bruce Moorehead, Treasurer: Mary Powers, Editor of El Escalon : Doris Palmer and Gladys Hagstrom, Editors of the Hi-Booster : Don Riesenbeck, Boys' Athletic Manager: Frances Gonzales, Girls' Athletic Manager: Harry Sexton and Peggy Lehman, Yell Leaders. The Student Body has now the largest membership it has ever had. This or- ganization has worked in excellent harmony throughout the entire term. Every enterprise which this group has undertaken has been a success because of the splendid cooperation of both students and teachers: as a result the Student Body has never before been so financially successful. Assembly programs have been given by the different classes and organiza- tions in school. Various other interesting and educational programs have been given by speakers and entertainers. Early in the year Paul Cheak gave a lecture on the subject, Health, and he also entertained the Student Body with many skillful stunts and tricks. On November 10, Audrey Sheller, one of the only three marimba artists on the Pacific Coast, played a number of selections on her marimba. Warren Atherton gave a Washington's Birthday address. On March 11 Mr. Armstrong, president of the Armstrong College, gave the Student Body a lecture on the subject, Planning for a Career. e145
