ELA!! 3392215.51 -by Lois Stimmel What a time I have had the last few days way out here in sunny California working as secretary to the president of the American Radiator and Standard Sanitary Manufacturing Co., Mr. Cuganot. Work- ing as secretary really 1sn't as simple as I thought it would be. After renewing acquaintances with my boss he certainly put me to work. I am also just a little too heavy for his knee. This morning Mr. Cuganot gave me a list of things to do such as calling his lawyer and getting more data on job applicants. After putting a call through for his lawyer I was surprised to hear the un- mistakeable voice of Kenneth George, but I suppose I shouldn't have been because of the way he was always arguing with the teachers at school. He really should be experienced. Just as I was about to leave my office the telephone rang and it was none other than my pal Dorothy Webb whom I knew was interested in secretarial work and after hearing of a secretary needed at the Build- ing and Loan Tower I wrote to her and invited her to room with me. She had arrived the evening before. She called to tell me that they had accepted her and had put her to work immediately, but she d1dn't know how she could concentrate on her work with such a handsome employ ere Since Mr. Cuganot was leaving town on business he excused me for the rest of the day. Not having lived in the city long I decided to look it over. While walking down the street, with nothing special in mind, I entered a large building. Going down the hall I noticed one of the doors was labeled LONELY HEARTS BUREAU under management of Ron Ginter and Glen Hennings. I wondered at this, but found out later it was due to the fact of their previous love affair with June and Donna which proved to be great disappointments. There intentions now were to help prevent such disappointments to others. My own love life, complicated as it was, forced my steps toward advice. Seated in the room talking to the great advisors was Bill Phillips. It seems that Carol Moor and he were having marital trouble over the proceeds of the Phillips Gulf Gas Station, which was making them a name to be reckoned with on Wall Street. After relating my masculine troubles with them, their advice was for me to get in with the new fads and fashions such as cutting my hair with bangs and also wearing longer dresses, so I set out for the nearest beauty salon. There I found my old classmate La Vonna George giving a facial. After she had cut my hair and we had had a long chat I started for the nearest fashion shop. Here Doris Cekander who was a famous dress designer refashioned my clothes and made me look like a new person. kfter making myself presentable I decided to visit Carnegie Hall to my surprise and delight Elda Cohrs was giving a matinee concert. She had become very famous and pictures of her have graced the pages of many a magazine.

CLASS PROPHESY fC0nt.l Tearing myself away, I dashed out to find a taxi. As I scrambled into the taxi, I found my driver to be none other than Paul Wensink. As we were driving along a beautiful palm lined drive, the motor star- ted to sputter. Luckily we were near a garage. It was the most modern garage I had ever seen. We were very glad to see Cloyce Wells to be the proud owner. The job was finished in record time and I was on my way once again. Not knowing any place in particular to go myself, my driver told me about the AFRICAN NITE CLUB. We drove there, and upon entering, I found it to be the swankiest club I had ever seen, and it was operated by none other than my old friend, Dale Kern. After getting settled at a table, I was astonished to find Irvin Kline to be the star comedian. He had gotten his start by cracking corny jokes at Jackson High and is now one of the best in the business. After the show I unexpectedly saw Jim Drummer and in the next half hour that we spent talking, I found him to be the head of a university and running it very efficiently. He had studied to be a teacher, and due to his ability he was soon promoted. In the interview with Jim I learned that Donna Bollenbacher was now a housewife for Don and lived on Second Street, so I decided to pay her a visit. I found her and her home both looking like a million dol- lars with her husband and seven sweet little children. I was glad to see that her dream had come true. Meeting so many of my old class mates and having had such an ex- citing day had tired me, so I decided to rush home and tell Dorothy of my experience. ausaeaaees 9.25.22 5152252 lb started our first year in school with 31 members in our class: These were: Harold Decker, Deloris Courtney, Elmer Heffinger, Jimmie Martin, Paul Wensink, Tommy Perkins, Vonnie George, Dorothy Kaughman, Leoma Kirkendall, Elda Cohrs, Marilyn J.

In the course of the next few years we gained a few members. These were: Howard Davis, Dorothy Webb, Phyliss Bowser, Joan Mitchell, Richard England, Lawrence Kirkendall, Jacqueline Coolidge, Teddy Bauman, Gerald Spence, and Patsy Ann Leaders.
