To our amazement, Coach Len Schuneman was on the stretcher. Upon our inquiry we discovered that he had been accidentally tackled in a scrimage game by full back, Bob Harris, and guard, Owen Whitkopf, who are now playing for Attica Tech, and managed by David Gigi Kilbreath. Immediately afterwards, Mrs. Schuneman, the former Shirley Brandt arrived with her chauffeur, Wayne Coffey. She was accompanied by Joan Hergert who is now secretary at the Skeberdis Research Inst. of which Peter Skeberdis, Jr. is professor. Just then our attention was distracted by the tooting of horns and a loud crash. We turned to see turkeys running all over. As it had happened, Bob Mishler, on his daily delivery of turkeys to the hospital cooks, Dan Burger and Florajean Frantz, had been side-swipped by the newest member to, the Road Aces, Charlotte Caldwell. At that moment Vernon Lerette, who has been unemployed since the Seniors quit selling Christmas tress, was walking by with his old school mate, Russell Powers. Seeing the disturbance, they took time out to help chase the turkeys. Our attention was once again distracted, but this time by the beating of drums and the cheering of people. Because of the big dedication in our town, the cir- cus had come to Imlay City. The distraction was a parade. Leading the parade was the famous Salvation Army Band, led by Barbara Ray who had given up her ideas of a married career woman, and featured was drummer, Mike Zahnow, and Trumpet player, John Thomson. Immediately following the band came the elephants with their bare back rid- er--the one and only--Miss Susan Kilbreath. The clowns came next with the funniest clown since Howdy Doody's Clarabelle- Clare Soupy Stephens. He was leading his pet flea, Herman, who had been trained by Flea Trainer, Roger Bpnnema. To our great surprise, our old friend, Margaret Taylor, was on the next wagon. She has put on a considerable amount of weight since school days and now holds the position of the fat woman. We followed the circus to the fair grounds and then wandered around to see the other attractions. In the first booth we discovered Joan Hill who had given up the restaurant business and now had her own, selling popcorn. She was keeping her assistant Ardin Mathews busy filling the salt shakers. In the next booth was Leon Gibbard drinking his daily glass of milk. He has replaced Sealtest Dan as the strong man. Another attraction was Elsie, the Bordon Cow. Her managers, who we all thought would be successful farmers, were Fred Radelt and Douglas Steckly. On our way to the Big Tent we ran into Shirley Dean, Donna Groendyk, and Tillie Pittman who are now home on leave from the Wacs. They told us they liked it so well they were twenty-year women. We reached the tent, went inside and who did we discover next to us but the former Marilyn Martz and Jauneta Sollman who are married and had brought their children to the big show. They told us that Art Rabert and Jack Stover are now partners in the Fix-it Shop for Model T's. As the show began, Evelyn Evans circled the track playing the calliope. Fol- lowing her was Janice Shayna with her trained dogs. With the blowing of the whistle by ring master, Bill Lewis, the show began. The show was over and, too tired to walk home, we hailed a taxi. To our amazement, the driver was Bill Elling, who is now operating this service be- tween here and Lum. We arrived home happy with the thought of renewing so many old acquaintances
