@Cci4 “PtofiAecef It is the year of 1965. The 89th Congress is in session. A bill outlawing automobiles is now being discussed in the Senate. However, we still have income taxes. Tax evaders have increased with the population. Janice and I, Jerry Thomas, are revenue agents. Our job—to get their money. There is a rumor in Washington that the National Laundry Dry Cleaning Company is failing to turn in all its taxes. The major branch is in Muncie, Indiana. We jumped into our jetoplane and rocketed out to Indiana. We finally made an appointment with the private secretary. As we walked into the office we saw an attractive lady with long black hair. As she glanced up, our mouths fell open for we saw that it was Shirley Class, one of our old classmates from Harrison High. She readily gave us an appointment with Mr. Fraizer, president of the National Laundry and Dry Cleaning Company. Behind the president’s desk sat Mr. Fraizer—Dick Fraizer! We learned from Dick that he had worked from floor sweeper up to chief executive of the company. We stopped at Mike’s Creasy Spoon for dinner. A man greeted us, and introduced himself as Mike Irwin. We hadn’t recognized him because he was sporting a beard. His cook was Marieta Boyle. We had collected a few taxes, so that night we decided to go out on the town. The first night spot was advertising Marie Clover, a famous tickler of the ivories. As we walked in we saw seated at the piano Martha Cooper, whose stage name was now Marie Clover. Martha told us that Jean Cline was working here as a cigarette girl, and Larry Edwards was the bartender. The next day Janice went out to Pat and Elaine’s Beauty Shop to have her hair washed and set. She was surprised to find that Elaine Mart and Patty Broyles had opened a beauty shop. Our next job was to check on the Antrim Funeral Home. On our way we pushed on the radio controls, and over them came the soothing voice of Mary Justus, disc jockey of Hillbilly Hit Parade. Her first record was a smash hit by Darlene Wray. Arriving at the Funeral Home we discovered the owner was Everret Antrim of our senior class of ‘55. Later we went for a cruise in the country to settle our nerves. Below was a beautiful farm. We decided to land and check on their taxes. We found the owners of the farm to be Cletis and Judy. Cletis was proud of his two foot ears of corn. In the barn we found Bill Brown and Lloyd Hiestand developing a species of red hogs to match Judy’s hair. In the pasture we saw Bob Watson chasing a butterfly which he needed to complete his collection. One of our leads was on a basketball team in Fort Wayne. Jack Sayre and Ed Townsend were stars on the team. Everyone said they used the Globe-Trotter style. We bought a newspaper; the headlines read: Gilbert Huffman breaks Olympic record in mile. He had run the mile in three and one-half minutes. There was an “Advice to the Lovelorn” column written by Janet Marsh. There were letters from Joan Sites and Marilyn Jones asking what to do about runaway husbands. Janet told them to rejoice! In the election returns we saw that Shirley Garland had been elected as a Senator from Indiana. She is promising tax reductions. The only classmate we hadn’t contacted yet was Dick Gasper. He told us that he had discovered a “wonder drug” for dyeing pine trees, which consists of turpentine spiked with anti-freeze. He may receive the Nobel Prize for this discovery. We found our classmates in various occupations. They were all prosperous. Harrison had trained them well in tax evasion. Jerry Thomas Janice Greenwalt
