Dear Mr. Ewell, Becoming a senior was something new to usg becoming a teacher was something new to you. We leamed together. Problems arose and were solved. We often asked for help and you gave it to us freely, and often that help penetrated deeper than the problem itself. We leamed facts and figures but it seemed that beneath that there was something which you were trying to show us-a sort of way of making the most of life. It would be impossible to thank you for the intangibles which we are unable to express in words, but if you can understand that which we are trying to say . . . thank you! The Class of 1953 22

THE SUN Reflects the Liberal View June 12, 1973 POLICE INVADE HARLEY REUNIGN Word reached local headquarters this afternoon that the notorious Class of 1953 of Harley School has retumed to the scene of its crimes. Due to knowledge of out- standing records held by these culprits twenty years ago, the squad invaded their class reunion hoping to clinch the case. The gala affair was in full swing at The Meacham Motel, located at the bottom of Ellison Park, where it fell exactly twenty years ago tonight. The squad was confident in their leader Judson Patterson, successor to j. Edgar Hoover, until they discovered his name heading the list of bandits. Upon approaching the motel everything seemed in order much to the dismay of the police and particularly Commissioner Patterson, who had not seen his classmates in twenty years. Inside they found the class grouped around the solarscope, latest invention of famed Bruce Kennedy. At the time they were engrossed in watching Phil Zimmer- man, who was enroute to the party after successfully shooting the moon. ' A less progressive group of grads were seated about the fireplace playing I pack my grandrnother's trunk. With disappointed faces, the law shuffled into the kitchen, hoping to stir up some trouble. There they came upon the Shaw Catering Company headed by Robert himself, whipping up a typical Harley meal. On hand was epicure Frances Miller, who had generously donated several cases of the newest Miller Beverage, Venu- scola. And to prove that the things of the earth are still the best, Sally Holden is the Miller's chief competitor with her Vermont maple syrup. Hearing that Prather lnc. were to supply entertainment, the cops decided to stay. Shortly Alice brought forth a fine song and dance team from one of her many night clubs. Clem Fry and Sue Posson followed this, harmonizing in the sweet refrain of There is a Balm near Pluto. Barby Keyfetz, who had just been lec- turing the Satumites on Ten Lessons to a Bigger Vocabulary, interrupted the entertainment with a repeat performance. Before long the late comets, Donn Dickason and Jon Hill, soared in on their finest jet. Most striking among the group was Kermit Steinberg dressed in the latest in sportjashions fincluding necktiesj. Yes, Kermit's Champion Stores have now taken the place of the formerly famed Steins's. The police looked suspicious- ly at john Stehler who was, without a doubt, causing the most commotion. It set-med he had an uncontrollable desire for making hook shots at an imaginary basket. Ted Keller soon ushered Patterson's squad to the door. As they went on their way, leader of the group Keller pointed out that this class of culprits had cer- tainly become well adjusted to life in t:he Universe. 24
