49 CLASS DIQQDH ECV We, the Class of '49, shall gaze into our crystal ball and look to the distant future down upon the now big and booming city of KALAMA. As the city comes into view we notice a great increase in the population. Instead of seeing the old sign post saying 1,028, we see a luxurious new one painted in bold numbers and letters City of Kalama, Population 10,028. Looking down at the bottom of the sign, painted in small gold letters, Painted by the CRANSTON ENGINEERING 8: PAINTING CO. So now we proceed into the city to find our old buddy, Orion Cranston. As we walk down one of the main streets we ask where we may find Orion. We are directed to a large building which is a combination warehouse and luxur- ious oifices. As we walk through the door we see Jeanne Koistinen sitting at the reception desk and while we are talking to her, we inquire it Orion is busy. He isn't, so we go in. We talk with Orion for awhile and ask about some of the rest of the class. He tells us that Gene tLeftyJ Miller is now owner and operator of the Kalama Builders Supply and is raking it in hand over fist the is still singlej. We will leave Doug now and as we go further down the street we meet Dixie Richardson, I mean Hambly, and ask where Bill is. She said, Look behind me, so we did and we see a man all loaded, down with bundles, packages, etc., and two children on either side of him. We take some of the bundles off of him and talk for a little while and soon find out that Bill is now the president of the HAMBLY LOGGING EQUIPMENT CO. and owner of a magnificent house up on the hill. As we leave Bill and Dlx we bump into Julie and Nancy busily walking and a- talking down the street. They both got their wishes, to get married and go to work. Nancy will still be working in the restaurant, after all, Phil owns the place. Julie is working alright, but it is a little bit different: she is washing diapers for little Duke. Julie tells us that Ethyl and James are co-owners in a big hotel in Portland and are doing very good. It's a hot rod, it's a super racer, it's a comet. Nope, it's just Don Duff and his little jeep going to Woodland: that's right, Don hasn't made the grade yet, but he's still trying. We find out that Ron Kilde is now conductor of the new concert orchestra and he himself travels around giving individual concerts. Ron tells us that Reece Gilmer is now in California and is set up in television and Tom Kane is still in the navy and right now sweating it out in the brig for too many wild nights. Heb Nixon is still slouching around, he is the general manager for the WHEELER CHEVRON STATIONS, INC. Harold Franklin went on his trip to Texas and didn't return, the last that any body heard of him was that he was in New York City. We continue on down the street and we meet Eva Hahn and Beryl Jansen dis- cussing battle tactics. They tell us that they are working but their main object is to find a husband. Beryl begins talking about old times and tells us that Norma Ammons married Slim right after we graduated and they now have a wonderful home in Kelso. We ask them where we can locate Nadine and Eddy Johnson and they direct us to the top of what was once the school house hill. Nadine was very glad to see us and we stayed and talked for quite a while. She enlightened us on the need for such a large house, the answer was three sets of twins land still going strongl. We inquired about Louise Simmons and Nadine said that she had gone to college in Idaho and ended up getting married and stay- ing there. We wished Nadine lots of luck and hurried to find our last member, Marvin Johnson, who is now president of the JOHNSON MUSIC STORES, INC. Marvin and Sally have their main store here in Kalama and their home also, and quite a home it is, with two wild children running around, but they are quite happy with everything about them. As the picture fades we see glimpses of the large city and the many school buildings with the same faculty growing grayer and more bent as they struggle with the younger generation. THE END I 10 1
