Would you believe it! They write on walls. cut up the desks, and scratch Hoors. I never heard of such injhiylglay. But I taught them something. Ha, Ha. Each desk had to be refimshed by the rascal who marred it. XVas not that so, Miss Harris F he asked liis private secretary, a pert red head, who was none other than Betty Harris. Betty had been his able assistant for many years. A charming woman, meticulously groomed, walked toward us and set us guessing again: but when she laughed, we knew it was Loudean Vinson, for many years a wife a11d mother. She said she had 3 children, and each one was really making his mark in the world. Marv lidna Moore. also wife and mother, said, her oldest son had received a quarter million dollars for his invention in flying family vehicles. A second son had iust published a new novel. jo Ann Moser had married a movie producer and done minor parts in several pictures. She had also written some plays. VVhen someone asked Harold Tate what he had been doing for the past 25 years, he said Raising Peanuts. Then the boys who in 1945 were in Mrs. Groves English class rushed him, for they were still hungry for peanuts. Harold showed them the jumbo variety which were being used so extensively for plastics. Don Lawrence was also farming, but he was specialing in Show Stock. His cattle had won many national honors and a few international prizes. He said that he had iust imported a Short Horn Bull that had cost 310.000, Just then Laverne Rigsbv, related his dairy experience in Wisconsin. He had 'invented a new cheese, which was being exported to many other countries. He had also put on the market a new homogenized milk. His dairy herd was composed of 75 fine Holsteins. The pretty, sparkling red head, Ruth Faye Bond, spoke up. I wish you would send me some milk to Chicago. l'm using sour milk, casein, and cream in my Beauty Salon there. VVe have found milk treatments very beneficial to the skin. Here comes dear old Betty Hoover- ---1-1-. But she will have to tell you the rest of her nam.e. VVe had heard that she and her husband had been in the Orient as missionaries, but Betty said not. She said that they had traveled there, but they were doing Social Service work and also taught v. music . 1. - ,. to the natives. ' Genevieve Barton- had been in India for several years doing research work among the Indian women. She had helped them to gain some freedom, but she admitted that she had never found out whv the Indian women didn't marry American men. Mary Margaret Small had specialized in raising Collie Sheep Dogs. The Govrnment of Australia had given her dogs great recognition for they were considered the best possible for the great sheep ranchers. Argentina bought dozens of clogs from her every year.

C Class Prophecy 1 n In the summer of 1970 the class of 1945 of Galatia High School decided to have a reunion, thinking it would be very interesting to see how far the class members had scattered in 25 years. Some fame from almost around the globe to attend. At the air port who should step out of the plane but the former class president, Red Maple, with thinning locks and a streak or two of grey but gay as ever. He, after an honorable discharge from the Navy at the close of the war, had gone into Air Express business in Central America and it was rumored that he, still interested in athletics, owned a' large interest in a ball club there. Hardly had that greeting been given till a helicopter settled and out came Major Dale Bond who had continued in the air service all these many years. He was accompanied by his Spanish looking wife. Their home 'was in Texas. Someone overheard Dr. George Crawford say to them, Hello, Bond!! Sure glad you could come. Then turning to the others. Dr. Crawford explained. When Major and Mrs. Bond dropped in on us last week end, they feared they couldn't come. Major Bond brought some mosquitoes for my research work. Dr. Crawford has a huge research laboratory in South America. He has helped to make Central Brazil more livable for the white man. A stunning woman walked up and we rubbed our eyes and looked again. Such Parisian clothes and hair dress!! It was Edna Devine-now the wife of a French importer. She had for many years been internationally known for her interior decorations and maintained her studios in New York. We finally closed our gaping mouths, when she called out- Well kids, say something! ! ! We all laughed at the familiar phrase and expected an introduction to the two men following, but on closer view we recognizd Billy Ray Tate, who had piloted the plane in which they came. and Raymond lordan, who was the mechanic. ' Tate and lordan owned a commerical hangar with 25 planes in which they taxied passengers anywhere in the states. They lived in Brooklyn. Wayman Garner, an engineer, in Yukon. told how they had brought his gold out on dog sleds. He had traveled by train, auto, boat. and finally by plane to attend the reunion. The spectacled Professor, Dr. James Lester Golliher, L.D.D., Ph. D. with a small goatee and cane. strolled up. He was still able to talk. CContinued on next pagej rfiifjiiirif f. fl-..
