as 1 Pnornfcv f AX ,N Ten years ago today we graduated. Since this is the anniversary of the Class of '55, the plans for the class reunion are in the final stages. We were chosen to notify everyone of the time, place and date of this great occasion. After getting in touch with all of our former classmates, the day of the reunion has finally arrived. As we arrive, BARBARA WESTERMAN is preparing the table for the food. After a friendly greeting the subject turns to all the good times we had in school and many of the life-long friends we have made. We are sorry to hear from Bobby that RAYMOND SEIB, DELBERT OLDI-IAM, MARLA REYNOLDS, and BARBARA GEISELMAN will not be able to attend because they are now serving in Uncle Sam's Air Force. She mentions that she is now secretary to JERRY SCHMITS famed engineer. She adds that SHIRLEY KRAMER, MARY ESAREY, and PHYLLIS MEIER work as secretaries in the same building. The rest of our old classmates then begin to put in an appearance, so we leave Barbara and join the rest of the group. Y We begin a conversation with BOB HUELSMAN and LARRY KING, two well-known lawyers. As the conversation progresses, Larry tells us that JERRY KING has joined the Foreign Legion. As we stand talking, NAOMI PITCOCK joins our group. She tells us that MILDRED SCHUSSELER and JOANN JENKINS work as nurses in the same hospital as she. After talking to Naomi for awhile we wander over to the next group, who seem to be enjoying themselves tremendously. We soon discover why, SONNY STALLINGS, now a millionaire is the center of conversation. We look around and are not sur- prised to see wedding bands on the hands of ARLENE MAYER, LOIS EMGE, MARY DEWEESE, DIXIE LIKENS, MARCIA HOAR, and MARILYN MICHEL. We are sure they will make outstanding careers in marriage. As we three stand talking, DONNA TURPIN joins us. We can tell by the way she is dressed that she is president of a ladies' fashion shop in New York. Donna informs us that KENNY ODOM and JAMES DILBECK are in the Marines, and GENE BOYLE is in the Navy. We also find out that JACKIE GREGORY and CAROLYN WEISS are airline hostesses. We are shocked but pleased to hear that WAYNE BEELER is a big game hunter, and LARRY GEORGES is now coach at Fort Branch. Also on the teaching staff at Fortsie are LELA SOLLMAN and ELIZABETH FERRY. We're glad to see that RITA CHANDLER and JACKIE FULTON are able to close their beauty shops for the reunion and JUDITH LOCKWOOD has managed to get away from her jewelry store. LARRY TRIBLE, JIM VEACH, CHARLES MAAS, and BILL MARTIN have fulfilled their life-long dreams and become successful engineers. It seems that DICK EPPERSON and GENE LEISTER are now prominent farmers. PEGGY GWALT- NEY is a social worker and MARY ANN MCCLOSKEY is working at Riley Hospital as an occupational therapist. JIM WOLLSTON is salesman for General Motors and JOHN STONE is a test pilot for the Lockheed Jet Corporation. As darkness begins to fall we separate and go our own ways: SANDRA, back to teaching her primary classg KATHERINE, to herjob as buyer for Macy'sg and LORA, back to her nursing career. We all leave with the same thought in our minds. We are glad to see that all our old classmates have gone so far and accomplished so muchg still we can not help but wonder what the next ten years holds for us. We only hope that it will be as wonderful and just as exciting as the first ten years after graduation. Lora Harmon, Sandra Bartlett, and Katherine Maas Compliments of GIBSON COUNTY BANK
