C1 One evening as Mrs Purdy was sitting in her easy chair reading her Killbuck Cronical, she noticed the list of men in the armed forces Some of the names were familar to her She was really surprised to read that Don Purdy zs now a lieutenant colonel in the air force Further on were the addresses of other service men Raymond Dix and Roy Parrzsh are now midshipmen together in the navy As she skims over the page she notices that Lester Leckrone's dream came true, a navy pilot, Just what he always wanted and none other than Ronnie Clark is his navigator Down farther in the column were the addresses of General Arlie Croskey and MaJor Edward Reed Just think of that!! Oh well, we always did know that our boys would get some place in this life On the next page of the paper was a feature article, at last the dreams of the people of Killbuck have come true The dedication of the Klllbuck Conummity Hospital which was held last weel' To her delight she found the staff members Marlene Hunter and her head nurse, Jane Taylor Jane's assistants were Judy Schopfer and Sandra Roach On page five was the school news written by the superintendent of Killbuck High School, Susanne Miller Marilyn Chanay has just recently been hired for two more years as school secretary, and Carol Klner signed her contract for three more years as music teacher Gee, Mrs Purdy thought, some of my children are follow- ing in my footsteps and are doing a very nice job of taking over the school In the society section she was reminded that Mr and Mrs Ben Tedrow CLouise Spurgeonj were celebrating their 10th wedding anniversary That certainly brings back memories of one night at senior class play practice when Sis came running into the gym to show us her engagement ring Well what do you know, Betty Crosby and Marilyn Schonauer who just got back from a trip to South America are now taking off for a trip to Europe!! By now it was time to watch T V but this paper was too interesting to leave so Mrs Purdy tells Mr Purdy, her husband, to turn on Channel 3 to watch the nation's top commedian, Ronnie Michel Remember all the jokes he used to play on the teachers? Now he gets paid for it!!! A list of new beauty parlors caught her eye next and to her surprise she found that she could get her hair set at Vernitta Mi11er's Merle Norman Studion or Karen Sha.fer's Beauty Nook In the advertising section, Jerry Martin and Gary Glassford, Presidents of two famous big companies were running an ad for two secretaries Now there is a nice place to work for Wanda Schonauer and Mary Williams, Mrs Purdy thought They are both very good secretaries Dean Conner, owner of a trucking line, ran ads throughout the paper advertising his business Geraldine Mizer had told Mrs Purdy about his business the other day when she came to visit She also said that Dean had hired her as his private secretary The editorials were very interesting in that issue One was written about Larry Arnold, who was recently elected President of the Loafers Society Oh well at least he got president and will do a very fine job The other was written about Otis Tennant who owns his own restaurant on the square in Killbuck. That is where Sid can take me to dinner tomorrow evening thought Mrs. Purdy as she made a mental note of it. At last Mrs. Purdy has finished the paper and puts it down to rest her eyes. She thinks about all the interesting experiences she has had with her sons and daughters, the class of '58, lb 3 were some of her own students of 158. At the head of the hospital was Doctor ' D ' 9 ' 9
