SENIOR CLASS Dear Mr. Bontrager It is now 1982, World War III is just over and we've decided to check up on the Seniors of '62. First, we found Beth Everhart, now Mrs. Danny Rickel. Danny, Beth and the kids are living in New Orleans. Beth is still unhappy because Danny's Atomic-powered Chevy is beating her Nuclear-powered Ford. We heard that Beverly Bostwick is the chief Donut-maker for the concentration camps in Death Valley. We must keep those Russians happy somehow. Next we found Marilyn Meggison now married to an Army General. She is also Chief Assistant to the Post Master General. We visited Janet Southard now the wife of a Wyoming rancher on their 10,00u acre ranch. They are converting used bomb shelters into cattle barns, so their 4,000 head of cattle won't get cold. We were unable to see Donna Gooderl as she stayed in Russia after the war. She is still homesick but she's consoling herself by teach- ing the Russian children how to giggle. We heard music and noticed Ryland Kessinger, the Annapolis General, playing the accordian for a World Champion Polka Contest. It may be a Swedish Polka Contest but he still likes his Scotch. Charles Bailey is a little behind times. He's still trying to keep in step with his regiment. Poor Chaz, he'll always be slow. John Nichols has been faking out the Russians in his little green Ford . They think he's a ROCKET!!! Garry Stadel planned to make the Array a career but due to several ailments he returned home. He and Martha now have a chicken farm and we heard they never lose a chick because of an alert watchdog. We also went back to Hoyt to see if ’Dear Old Hoyt High was still there. Much to our amazement there were coach and Mrs. Cross still in their trailers. They're still cracking the whip on the class of '64. The Juniors of '62
