Wilbern Ferguson has recently discovered a drug which, when slyly slipped into teachers' food at noon, allows students to sleep in the afternoon classes with' out being called upon. Elizabeth Bullard is now quietlv married with a House in a house. Oh, what a fine home! Wilmer Harris is touring as a happy bachelor. His mind, time, wine, and money are going quick. Lee Scholl is now shoveling along in his new firm called, DigfMe O'lee Undertaker. It isn't a very lively business, though. Barbara Gribble is studying in Holland. She's try' ing to learn all she can about Dikes. Jack Hartzell always seemed to have something horsey about him. He is now a horse doctor. Mary Ellen Greenup has even greater lung power today. She calls hogs on a certain Blue Ball farm. Sherman Fleetwood now holds the position of bell' hop at the Manchester Hotel. Jane Vandervort and Dick Hubbard now have a radio program of their own. It is called, The Blonde Brains Are Here Again, on station WDJH at the most convenient hour-2:00 A. M. Ellen Hathaway, alias ToadfFrog, is teaching all the little tadpoles how to swim. Marvin Shane is Postmaster General of the United States. His past experiences with mail boxes helped him ascend the ladder to success. Last, but by far the least, come two characters of the class. They are, of course, Wilma Powell and Dellas Harris, who are cofpresidents of the Soda Jerks Union, holding their first convention in Chicago. fThere always has to be two big Burps in the bunchj Well, this ends our search for the members of the Class of '48, Although we do not see the members of the class all the time, our thoughts are of them quite often. And we are sure that you will agree that this Class of '48 was quite a swell class. ELLEN I-IATHAWAY, Chairman DICK HUBBARD JANE VANDBRVORT
