PROPHECY Ccon'tl uYou recall Don Clover, don't you?, I guess he is just heart broken. His son L le Clover, who graduated with me, didn't follow along in his fathers foo steps and become a farmer but instead has a job driving a commuters' bus from Francesville to Monticello for those who work at Bryanvs, The only reason he likes the job so well is because he has a fifteen minute layover in Monticello and can look up all his old girl friends. He has remained a bachelor thus far. Rumor had it that Lyle has been shot by the arrows of a mis- chievous little fellow who sometimes changes our minds for us. Poor fellow! I hope he doesn't regret the loss of his freedom. They tell me she is spoiled and jealous! I don't know about him! nYou also recall that young lady whose hair was always within an inch of perfection in school, don't you? Bett Gastineau--you guessed it! She has put her talent to a profits e use. After graduation she attended beauty school and now parlor called Bet's Salon. Betty's specialty hair by changing it to a lustrous red. Rumor regularly visits the salon for rinses when he town. has her own beauty is enhancing women's has it that Ed Kelley visits the old home nOur class had its share of boys who ran around considerably, but one of the miracles of the tale is that Art Geyer, one of those who had the habit very badly, settled down and is one of the best husbands and fathers in the countryside. At,least-this is what his wife, the former Roberta Houston, said about her farmer husband. nYou remember that I said our class harbored some of the great est geniuses of all time I'll tell you about one of these This lass was quite a whiz at shorthand back in 1951, and, after getting her B S and M S in business, she went ahead and specialized in shorthand and is now considered one of the greatest experts of the day Of course I'm speaking of none other than Arlene Beiswanger She has written several textbooks along this line for high school use Quite a popular place on highway 45 just outside of Medaryvi is the former has to him at to her 5D Drive In This eating establishment is run by three seniors Of course Donna Onken is quite busy because she work at the restaurant and keep house for Bob you remember the same time, but as yet there have been no children to add household duties Dora Westphal especially likes the work because although she has never married, she has a soft spot in her heart for the place dating back to senior days I haven't quite figured out what Dorothy Kruger's aim is but at least she has furnished the other D for the name of the place nIt seems as though our group cou1dn't all get away from the old home town Two of our most enterprising young men went into business for themselves Paul Kruger and Paul Ledford started the Two Paul Drive In Theatre They are doing quite well except that Paul Ledford has had quite a time keeping his partner in line You See THE FREEMAN C0 PULASKI COUNTY ABSTRACT For all kinds of Insurance Far Abstracts Real Estate Loans Join the American Motor Club and Play Safe on your Trips 0 o so oo ' ' 0 ,V ,nr 0 0 H - lle O . 0 o 0 . , . l , O - . o
