presently on a trip around the world on a second honeymoon in their private plane; Verna and Blythe are stewardesses with an airlines company in South America; Harold is a wild game hunter in Africa; and Ronnie Franz was last seen fighting as a rebel in North Viet Nam. But Gail was sure that all the members of the class would be back for to¬ nights reunion. I thank Gail and go back to the hotel, thinking how happy I am to be home and be able to see all my friends again, for the first time in 15 years. Yes, the reunion tonight will be a pleasant time for all of us. Raymond Gilkyson

(fiance rft Out ‘Jutune The jet plane touched down on the gleaming new airport on the outskirts of La Glace. The plane I was riding on, as well as most on the North American continent, is owned by Ronald Foshaug, an old school mate of mine. The date is June 28, 1977. The occasion is the reunion of the 61-62 class of the La Glace High School. All the class members had received a letter from the former Donna Berg inviting us to the hotel she owns with her husband. She offered us the use of her Ranch Hotel as long as we wanted it. I am quite sure that everyone is looking for¬ ward to seeing their old friends again. Although I had not 3een La Glace for 15 years I had heard a great deal about it. Because it is a new city, it is very clean and modernly designed. So this was where millionaire Brian Lowe made all his money on real estate. Mayor Phil Bentrude truly has a city to be proud of. I grab a sandwich at the airport and call a cab. I check in at the hotel and go up to my room. I notice a T. V. set in the corner so I turn it on. Goo evening, this is B.X.L.G.-T.V. Christine Jentink reporting. Here is the news to the moment. An air crash in the Artie kills twelve. Nurses Dorothy Connell and Sharon S c hwemler are being sent there for emergency rescue service. Professor Ellie Epp of the Harvard University an¬ nounced today that the illiteracy rate of West Spitsbergen was declining rapidly, due to concentrated efforts from teachers Bernice Alstad and Ingrid Gunderson, who have been teaching there for 12 years. Scientists Henry Olydam and Allan Heidebrecht have finally perfected the automobile engine. Their many years of work payed off in the form of a 100 efficient machine, the first in history. They said today, that their profits from this would be turned over to charity. A new hair style was created today. The world ' s wo¬ men became enraptured immediately after seeing this style on Queen Elizabeth. Helene Landeweerd, famous the world over for style creations, was delighted that people liked her new style so much. This completes the news. Now the sports round-up. Bekkerus and Johnson each added a pair of goals to their totals last night in Toronto. They are now the high¬ est scorers in N.H.L. history and there are still 10 games remaining in which they can easily better their records. Speedy Wayne Moodie returns home today from the Olympic Games where he became a track sensation by winning 3 gold medals. Most of La Glace is expected to turn out to greet him. That is the sports. Good-night. I shut off the set and gaze out the window. Then I decide to go for a walk so I saunter down the street. Then I see a sign, G. Student and Sons, Trucking and who is behind the desk in the office but Gail. We start talking about the old school days and about where everyone is. She told me that Myrtle left for Mexico after the spring break up for a holiday with her husband; Helen took up medicine and is very successful as a physician; Donna Hanson is
