I ,rv H . 77 an Mer omorrow lune 1, 1966 Dear Friends, So many of you have asked us what all the members of the class of 1946 are doing that we decided to writelthis letter to you. From all last reports this is what we found out: Through these years Grace Corson has worked herself up to the position of Mr. Mellen's private secretary. lune Crist has finally settled down with all the little Smith farm- ers around. Lucille Doane is still attending the dances at Iudd's in hopes of getting a permanent partner. We find that Eleanor Gordner spends her summers in New York pulling weeds. Ruth May's sailor soon became tired of Navy life, and she is very happy with -the part she ,plays in keeping up the farm. Remember back in 1946 when Leo married a Geisha girl? We have just heard that Iune Oliver's heart is now on the mend. Audrey Rhinard is still in love with Harold, but is putting in her time teaching because they are both too bashful to get together. This is a big day for Ethel Wallis. She has just gotten a one cent raise at the Hughesville Textile Mills. Thelma Sones, after trying out several others, has decided that George is the one and is all set for the wedding. True to her promise, Phyllis Snyder hasn't changed her name because she mar- ried a Snyder: still she can't-seem to forget Calvin. Emma Brungard, who said she was too tall to be romantic, has turned several proposals aside and is now President of the Grange National Bank. Although Helen McCarty pro- fessed to be a man-hater during her-school days, she is performing the role of secretary and wife to l-lughesville's number one brain specialist. Helen Whitenight has a big pull, in fact, many in Unityville, aslshe is life partner in a trucking business. Georgine Eichehlaub became such a skilled cheerleader that, she is now traveling with the Sonestown basketball team as head cheerleader. Norma Bradley doesn't know that her sailor was discharged twenty years ago, and she is still waiting for a letter from him. Florence Derrick has taken her art work very seri- ously. She is married to the principal of Picture Rocks High School and is teaching art on the side. On Muncy Creek we find a fishing boat by the name of Hagerman where Mary Fought is living a happy life. Carlene Gray's man-hunt has ended and she is now the Mrs. Lt. Lunsfar. Three days a week of Pauline Gray's busy life are taken up doing the family wash. Irma Herr has reached the top of the ladder and is head waitress at The Lakeside, Eagles- mere. Florence and Margaret Kitzmiller -are teaching a Home Economics Course in Unityville, strictly for men. Doris Houseknecht wasted no time in getti.ng married, and she and Don will observe their twentieth wedding anni- versary this month. loyce Lassinger is too busy taking care of her twins to sit on the front step these days. The leading ladies of Hughesville spend their leisure time at Anna McBride's beauty shoppe discussing the latest news. Betty Mummey is head nurse at Chippewa Hospital-the largest in Lycoming County. Pauline Ritter, who made her fortune in the candy business, lives in a mansion on Broad Street. Betty Bigger has been running competition with Bette Davis for the last few years and is now Holly- wood's most popular actress. After twenty years of life as an old maid, Dorothy Rogers has decided that it isn't so pleasant and is preparing for a big wedding. Mary Shaner went into the nursing profession. She is night superinten- dent at Danville's famous hospital. Mary Alice Springer has never forgotten her school girl crush on Fos and takes a daily walk to Bryantown. Fern Taylor has set up bus- iness as a Parson , Calvin Diltz has a school in Lairds- ville where he teaches his students how to act in High School. Russell Dugan has a chain of Dugan's General Stores and his headquarters are in Lairdsville. Iames Figels runs a taxi from Broad to Main Street and has the honor of taking Mr. Schaefer to and from school each day. Eugene Glidewell has taken to the screen and is a famous actor. Ann Whittier has just given Bill l-lill his final lesson in horseback riding. Robert Hall is principal of the Villa Grove School. Collins Houseknecht is still a bachelor but he really has gone places. He is janitor at the White House in Washington, D. C. Since 1946 Dean Houseknecht has outgrown his bashful nature and is leading a merry life, making up for lost time. Richard McClain is vocalist for the AGP weekly radio program. lim Fought has finally graduated and the draft board, after waiting all this time, has nabbed him. Bill Odell liked the part he played in the Ir. Class Play so well that he is living in the moun- tains-but as a hermit. Fred Schenck has become the world's folemost auctioneer because he can talk so long without running out of wind. True to all expectations, Charles Smith is teaching the little Smith's the proper methods of farming. Charles Woodside has lost all his bashfulness and is Biggertown's number one playboy. Bob Edkin put to use his year of military training and after twenty years in the army, has the proud rank of Pic. Bob Webster took the Senior Class Play to heart and is now in Mexico digging up Indian relics. Now that we have told you about all the members of the Class of 46 we will say Goodbye and Good Luck. Yours truly, 7fze Wah! .SMZ'm4 Monarch - 18
