As we talked further with Donna we learned that she has had two husbands and is still on the look out for the one . She has at least two diamonds, and they aren't the type you buy at the dime store. Donna, also mentioned that her clothes; originally from Paris were not really new, only two weeks old and that her pure mink stole was one of many. The final member of the Class of '61 is late as she was in high school'days. After waiting patiently our little stragler appears. After she catches her breath the former Margaret Tallman explains why she is late. She has returned a short time ago from taking her 1st graders on their annual school picnic. As usual some of the children became lost and Peg had to round them up before returning to the school. Speaking of children, Margaret mentioned the fact that she has a few of her own running around her ranch style home. The end of the evening came rapidly upon us as we chatted about old memories and the fun we had while in high school. We all hated the thought of breaking up this joyous reunion but realized that we must all go our separate ways once again.

NOW, LET'S LAUGH A LITTLE I! The hardest tumble any man can take is to fall over his own bluff — huh, George? Keep in step with yourself, Lois, and you need not worry about the rest of the parade. If women think that all men are alike, then why is it they are so particular in choosing one — what about this, Donna? Lovemaking hasn’t changed much in 2500 years — Greek maidens used to sit and listen to a lyre all evening, too. How about it, Bev? Some people don’t have much to say but you have to listen a long time to find out -- especially to Peggy! One must have a good mind to be able to keep the promises he makes or so Bev contends. There is no perfect substitute for common sense but silence dees pretty well Lois proves that! Dignity is the capacity to hold back on the tongue what never should have been on the mind in .the first place — what’s on yours, Donna? The newspaper says that mistletoe is bad for trees — bad for trees, yes, but fun for twos. The girl who thinks no man is good enough for her may be right and then again she might be left — better watch it, girls! A wedding ring is like a tourinquet — it stops the circulation. You're young but once — after that you've got to think up a new line of excuses for what you do — better start thinking, George! No one is ever too old — and that may be why all of us keep putting it off! The best way to get rid of a hot head is to give him the cold shoulder — this applies to a lot of people, not just certain seniors!
