(’ ass J ropnecy The year is 1984 - twenty years after graduation - and to celebrate this grand occasion, another World's Fair is being held in the City of Galway in honor of the Class of '64. As we drive into view in the bus donated by the GREG SMITH Transport Company, we see the JOHN THI-BADO Building, designed and built by DAVID LIS, the year's architectural wonder, for the exclusive use of DIXON STURTEVANT, so that he can practice his inimitable no-handed full-court set shot without bumping his head. At the gate, SHARON CORNELL forces us to buy tickets, and we are given LINDA Nonstop'' MUSOLFF for a guide. After signing MARGIE ARNOLD'S record book, we start down the main road leading toward the center of the Fair. On your left, begins our guide, you see SHERYL BENDER, the nation's most powerful secret weapon, put in that glass case by the order of JACK Big Brother KRESS, after she talked Premier Khruschev to death at Vienna. We all gape at this phenominal exhibit, but soon pass by to see PEGGY SHOUTIS, on skis, outrace DONNA BENSON, the well-known stock car driver. ED KLEMENTOWSKI asks for his money back, but is knocked over the head with a Douglas fir by ED JONES, lately of the forest patrol, now chief security officer for the Fair. Turning the corner, we come upon the booth set up by a team of renowned space scientists: DICK TRAIDER, JOHN GAVALETZ, MIKE SKORNY, BOB SLIDER, and TOM LEE. Having made the highways too hot to hold them on earth, they have made the first U. S. space rocket with a built in bar, which they are expected to launch with the help of astronomer JACKIE SCHOBERT next month. However, weather forecaster DONNA MORRIS is not optimistic about the trip. The way those jerks drive, she says, they'll probably pile up into the moon or something. As we reach the large fountain in the center of the fair, our guide points out the basement hangout where modernistic poet JOHN HEVELIN can be found reciting his latest poem, composed of nothing but punctuation marks. However, more interest is shown in the DOUG HEMINGWAY Burlesque House, featuring such famous names as DIANE Knees” DAVIDSON and MARJORIE DENISON. The floor show is in progress as we enter, with music supplied by that fantastic musical team of BOB LACHTRUPP (on his no-string guitar) and MYRON BENWARE (on his valveless trumpet), who have just returned from a concert at Carnegie Hall. The excitement is too much for two of our group, who faint dead away, and when stretcher-bearers LINDA KENYON and SHARON STAFFORD arrive, it is found that they are reporters STU STANTON and GEORGE BROWN. However, after expert medical care by Doctor NANCY PITCHES, they are revived enough so that we can go on. Aren't you going to stay and hear ADDISON JACKSON sing? , asks hat check girl MARY ANNE CORNELL, and we are just about to turn back when our guide whispers that comedian MIKE MALIK is due to give a performance in half an hour, and that if we hurry, we will just have time to see the MARILYN BROOKER abstracts in old garbage before he goes on. However, we find the road is blocked by a herd of cattle from BOB BAGDEN’S model farm, and by the time accountant BILL BRUNDIGE has figured up the cost of damages done to his client KRIS LABAHN and her new haystack hair-do, it is too late for anything else. Sadly, we turn away, but just as we are about to leave, pony express rider MARY LANS-BURG rides up and explains to us that the whole show will be given again the next day. So we head for the bus, determined to return once again to the wonders of Galway's World's Fair.

We were a very large and excited group of Freshmen that began our high school career four years ago. Like all Freshmen before us and all that will follow us. we put a great amount of effort into making our major class activity, our first dance, a success. We were intensely proud of the outcome of Accent On April. Our sophomore year enveloped us in activity. Our class officers, John Hevelin, Linda Musolff, Donna Benson, Kris LaBahn, and Mary Lansburg, led us in planning a one-act play contest, the first dramatic venture in Galway in four years. Foolishly, yet naturally, we did not pass the year without disagreement. We clearly remember being widely split over what we would wear on Moving-Up Day, but we also remember our unreserved pride as a class when our first class members were tapped for NHS and when we won the athletic banner that afternoon. Ambition marked our junior year. Between dances, ordering rings, and selling refreshments at games, work on our Junior Prom was begun. With five hundred rolls of purple crepe paper, a ton of cardboard, three thousand Kleenex tissues, and a tremendous class effort, we succeeded in creating Deep Purple. ” That year we lost our dedicated class advisor, Miss Blessing. Like all class advisors, she worked too hard and was too little appreciated. As seniors, we were busy, our attention having turned to scholarship tests, college interviews, and graduation announcements. Yet, we have taken time to reflect on what has happened to us over the past four years, and in doing so, we have taken a long look at ourselves. We are a class of extremes - quick to criticize what we do not like, quick to support what we favor; we are impatient and intolerant of injustice or inaccuracy; we are a class of intense perfectionists. For the past three years unhappiness to the class of 1964 has been pork and sauerkraut on Mondays and happiness has been seeing a movie in its entirety without the film projector breaking down once. Now, as we approach June and graduation night we have begun to see things in a different light and we hope to take our place in the world, each in his chosen career, as mature citizens.
