Claaa Pnophecy It had been quite some time since our class had got- ten together. All the members of the class of 57 received an invitation from Jim Hamilton, who is now the owner of the Conrad Hamilton Hotels, to attend a reunion at his hotel in Honolulu, Hawaii. The reunion was to be held on June 1, 1967. As the guests arrived they were greeted at the door by their host, Mr. Hamilton, and the hotels best enter- tainer, Miss Judy Koerner. She is well known for her Hawaiian War Dance. The first guest to arrive was Miss LaVonne Burkhart, who is now a Home Economics teacher at Vassar Uni- versity for Girls. With her was Mrs. Stewart Kessler, the former Miss Delores Templin. She is secretary for her husband who is the present owner of Stouffers' Chickeries in Mt. Morris, Illinois. Next to arrive was Mr. James Gray. Jim informed us that he is now chief engineer on a large government dam that is being con- structed. With him came Mr. Ronald Craven, who is the owner of a large butter factory in Leaf River. Next to arrive was Miss Sue Miller and Miss Pat Meyers, who are featured entertainers at the Copcobana. Following them was Mr. Donald Cook, who is head coach at Harvard University. Mrs. Joel Chenong, the former Miss Pat Eisen, was next to arrive. She is secretary of the Board of Trustees of the Chenong Transport Co. Later that day Mr. Roger Eisen arrived. He had missed his plane because he was involved in an accident during a motorcycle race at the great Ridott Speedway. Ar- riving on the same plane was Mr. Larry DeVries. Larry was still the class clown, in fact he had put his crazy antics to work for him; he now is a Hollywood star follow- ing his appearance as the clown with nine lives in Death of Jo-Jo . Also with them was the stewardess of their plane. Miss Shirley Freeze. Shirley was a steward- ess on T.W.A.'s San Francisco to Honolulu flights. On the next plane was Miss Glenda Cheek, who was now a hat designer in the Dior Hat Shop in France. Her latest style hat is shaped like a bird cage with a canary in it. On the next plane was a famous man, the teen-agers' favorite all-night W.G. N. television disc jockey, Jim Lee Stukenberg. While he was attending the reunion ex- recording artist, Elvis Presley was doing Jim's show for him. With him was Mr. Claude Snodgrass, who had always been interested in electricity. He is now the President of the Board of Directors of the General Electric Company. The last member of the group to arrive was Republican Senator Rodney Brookman. He had just given the keynote speech at the Republican Convention in Myrtle, Illinois.
