o When the class of 5U graduated, we all signed an agreement stating that we would write to each other In twenty years. Well, at last the day has arrived and as I sit in my office looking at the letters, this Is what I read: Remember Hugh Dado and Valerie Olson? Well, their letter says that they are happily married and are living In Burress, Hugh runs the grain elevator there. Oh, by the way, they have twin girls who have Just started to school. They say that they see Wayne Cantrell nearly everyday as he goes through on his dally run. Let’s check Wayne’s letter and see just what he Is doing. Here It Is. Let’s see, he says that, after nineteen years of struggling to become chief engineer on the Burress run, he has at last realized his goal. I offer my most sincere congratulations to him on this great achievement. Delma Lefler writes that she Is so busy in ner new Job of National Home Ex- tension Agent that she hardly had time to write. She says that she thoroughly enjoys her work. She is married and is raising a nice little family of five with the help of a governess. I see where one of the class has made It to Hollywood. Don’t get me wrong, he’s not a movie star. Just a playboy and one of Hollywood’s most eligi- ble bachelors. This carefree playboy is Dale Schneider. He seems to be weaken- ing though,.as he writes that he thinks that he has at last found the girl of his dreams. , . , . The other day, as I read the paper, I saw where a Marvin Nichols of Geneva Nebraska had been named Typical Parmer of the United States . I wondered at the time if this could be the same Marvin I knew. Well, I’ve just finished his letter and he says that he’s the one. He writes that for being named Typical Farmer of the United States he received $5 000 and is planning a three months trip to Hawaii, Here’s a letter postmarked Chicago. I see it’s from Don West. It seems he has his own building firm. He says that he has a very Important project on right now-----building Eskimo igloos in Alaska. You all remember Jerry Heinz’s ambition in life don’t you? Well, he made it. He is now considered on of the country’s most skilled surgeons. He writes that his private secretary is a 514- graduate. Hmmml wonder who it is. Oh, by the way, Jerry makes records for Columbia on the side. He also lives in Chicago. This letter came as quite a surprise to me. Remember Dick Smith and Richard Perkins? Well, their ietter says that they are fur trappers in Canada. They write that they are running a very profitable business. Girls, here’s your chance to get a mink coat at cut prices 1 Joyce Busselle writes that she is running a modeling school. She says that she really enjoys her work. She also writes that Jo Ann Follock went to her school and is now working in New York. Upon reading JoAnn's letter I find that she is retiring from her Job in a few weeks. She says that she is getting too old to be a model and is going to stay at home and raise her family of three. Have any of you ridden on the Burlington railroad lately? It seems that one of our old classmates holds a very prominent position on the Burlington staff. Charlene Keil writes that she is the secretary to the president of the railroad And not only that; she’s married to himl He controls the railroad and she con- trols him, so as 1 said before, she has a very prominent position on the staff. At last I’ve found out who Jerry’s secretary Is I It’s Barbara Lott. Barbara writes that she ran into Jerry in Chicago one day, and he asked If she wouldn’t like to work for him so she accepted. She says that Don West, Jerry and she get together quite often and talk over old times. After reading these letters, I feel very pleased to have been a Part of that class. We always were successful in all we did though. I feel safe in saying that ours was one of the best classes ever graduated from Fairmont High School. If you don’t believe It, Just ask one of us. Ohi I guess I’ve forgotten to tell you who I am. I’m Marion Pollock. I’m the first woman to be appointed as war- den of a Federal prison. I'm affiliated with Alcatraz. Who knows, maybe I'll be seeing some of you here soon.
