SfOx e ipiA, tyrant jbicviy of Ray PjjlexiAe iesif 1960-61 April 4. I received notification today from Lake Success that I have been appointed as the world census taker. I am to appoint any aids I may want. Among others I will take with me is Myrna and I am positive she will go with me. Perhaps we will come across some others of our class in our search. May 7. The arrangements have been completed for our census. Myrna has consented to help me. We will start in South Bend, Indiana, tomorrow. May 8. South Bend. What do you know! We got halfway through the alphabet here today. We might have gone further but we found Frances Lauer. We were at Notre Dame trying to spell the names of these Irish when we noticed a familiar figure coming across the base- ball field. Sure enough, it was Fanny. She’s a home economics teacher there now. Because of the shortage of coaches, she’s also acting as assistant physical education teacher. We talked to some of the fellas and she’s their favorite teacher. May 12. Greencastle, Indiana. We’re just outside Greencastle tonight. We’re staying with Earl Hefner. He is now the nation’s foremost breeder. It seems he started to DePauw but just couldn’t keep away from those Durocs any longer. June 1. Evansville, Indiana. We found one of our KHS teachers today: Mrs. Sipe. She’s now conducting an experiment. Her child is growing up with a chimpanzee. Mrs. Sipe told us that Mr. Fosdick has quit the terrible field of teaching and is now earning his living by answer- ing questions on quiz shows. July 5. Louisville, Kentucky. Here we are at last! I thought we’d never get out of those hills! It was really terrible. We did run across another buddy, though. Oria Curtis and his family were out miles from no- where. His wife, Esmerelda Josephine, told us that he had been lost in the hills. She found him about four years ago. He was, as she put it, a little tetched. They were married and now have six children. She’s very happy but sometimes worries about Oria. You see, he thinks the animals on earth are too dull so he’s adding variety. One of the last combinations he tried was camel, kangaroo, eagle, and giraffe. September 9. Wheeling, West Virginia. During breakfast this morning, I read a small item about another classmate. Cecilia Shutske is now one of the big wheels of the nation. She does her bit to keep the machinery running smoothly by handling all sizes and types of screws. October 3. Richmond, Virginia. We had a little extra time today so we did a little scouting. We found a very snazzy shop so we went in. It was the central office of Mr. Loren Betz: interior decorator. Just in case any- one is interested, he specializes in boiler rooms. October 21. Washington, D. C. We went to the Senate today. Who should we see but our friend of ’48, Charles Cannon. He was filibustering. Through inquiry, we found that he is noted for his excellent speeches. After the session finished, he took us on a tour of the capital. A high point of interest was the exercise and training gym of the Senate. It was run bv our former principal, Mr. Overholser.
