Clary Proplzeay Twenty years after our graduation a small crowd started to assemble at the A. B. E. Airport awaiting the arrival of a jet propelled passenger plane. Among those waiting was Arthur Oplinger, jr. employed by the Department of Interior. Seen chatting with him were several of the faculty of Hellertown High School f Doc', Fenstermacher, head coach of the basketball squad, which has just won the State Basketball Championshipg Janice Koloski, Math. teacher: Fran Guro, commercial teacher and cheerleading adviser, and Ed Schriflpert, teacher of instrumental music and head of the renowned H. H. S. Band. Lona Weaver and Dot Freeman are teaching in the Hellertown elementary schools. The years haven't changed them much except for a few gray hairs which were probably caused by the rowdy students. It was announced on the intercom that the plane had landed. As we rushed out to the Field, we noticed Barbara Ziegenfuss and Bonnie Fulmer, the steward- esses, leaving the plane. Following them were Lee Kichline, a food inspector for Howard johnson's Restaurantg and Rick McCall, carrying a trophy which he had just won in the National Open Golf Tournament. A well-dressed woman then came down the stepsg she was none other than Pat Benzak, well-known fashion designer. Nan Marish told us that she was teaching in India and that she enjoyed her work very much. Returning from their base in Texas were several servicemen in our class 7 joe Kosalko, james Youngkin, Dave Mindler, and Jerry Savitskeg incidentally, they have only less than a year to serve before they will retire. Next we see Joe Gallucci, pro-football player and well-known engineer chatting with two of his classmates, Jeff Lightner, head ofthe Smithsonian Institute at Wash- ington, D.C., and Jim Pfeiffer, head ofthe electrical engineering department of the Bethlehem Steel Company. While seated in the waiting room, we were informed by Francis Mertus that he was the instructor of the Air Force Band, he mentioned that Paul Buck is also a member ofthe band. Hearing the clomp-clomp of high-heeled boots, we looked up and saw a bowlegged gent with a ten-gallon hat coming towards us. He was Skeeter Ruth, owner ofthe largest dude ranch in Texas. Following him were his secretaries, Helen Arnold, Audrey Ganssle, and Doris Tarantino. Last but not least the pilot, looking very handsome in his suit of blue, walked into the waiting roomg he was Ricky Wartman. As we were leaving the airport, we passed the Control Tower. We saw there the head weatherman, who was John Cheg- widden and his assistant, who was Ronald Weirbach. l42l

Class Prophecy lc'0nt'dl Later in the day we assembled at our alma mater which is now a Senior High School. Among the hrst to arrive was part of the St. Luke's staff headed by Jim Kichline and his secretary Barbara Gozzard. He is assisted by Catherine Zondlo. The head nurse was Diane Zimpferg her assistants were Phyllis Haag, Carol Proszics, and Marlene Danyluk. Talking to them was Jackie Gall who is now a social Worker. Chatting with his cousin, James Kichline, was Clark Gross, a Forest Ranger. Clark mentioned that recently he had seen Louis Horvath, a Game Commissioner. A big business tycoon, Alfred Horvath, head of the Opal Automobile Mfg. Company entered, followed by his many secretaries: Nancy Karch, Anna Verba, Kathleen Zednik, and Theresa Macik. Chatting with Nancy Karch is Marilyn Ost, a bowling instructor. Bill Hedrick, using his hobby as his career, is now owner of the nation's largest ham-radio concern. Marie Kmetz informed us that she was working for Eddie Stauffer who is now a dentist. Sandy Gad, laughing as usual, told us that she was living near Doris Duh who was unable to attend because of the shortage of baby sitters. Sandy also said that she had six children. Coming towards us were three Marines and a pretty Wave. They were Robert l,eith, Donald Ziegler, Chas Mattos, and Penny Ziegenfuss. While making the rounds, we saw Karen Reicharcl, Carol Dull, and Mary Lou Rice, who are all private secretaries at the Bethlehem Steel Company. Karen informed us that Barbara Peffer and -loyce Zawick were head of the Accounting Department, and that Bob Trauger was also head of his own department there. Virginia Templeton's position was quite evident, for she was dressed entirely in black: she has taken over her father's business. Another position was revealed by the attire, that of Earl Schwartz. He is now a pastor in the Lutheran Church. We were discussing Bob Furgeson's success as a big leaguer in baseball as he entered the room. He told us that Leon Riegel owned a large farm in Canada and was doing very Well. Gloria Tott, a beautician in town, told us that Bob Kosman was making a tour of Europe with the Metropolitan Opera Company. We were very much pleased to learn that our classmates had succeeded in their chosen professions and that they were all very happy. It was a most enjoyable reunion, one which we shall never forget.
