I took a walk down the street and bought a paper from the boy on the corner—you certainly can't pick up a newspaper these days without realizing that this lsthe Atomic Age. I started reading the headlines, and recognlxed the name of an lod schoolmate of mine. Wayne Perry, nuclear physicist discovers npw'.uae for atomic power. Old Perrystein himself. Always knew he would make good. President Himes declares National Holiday. Ye3, he was nominated when the public decided he looked like Lincoln. By the way, his secretary, Irene Morse has certainly made a success of her business course. What's this? Someone running competition with Cedric Adams? Why It's Harold Kurth. Must be those new glasses of his. Last year's Nobel Prize winner, none other that Mr. Darwin Larson, has named Priscilla Hoon, a recent graduate from Medical Technology school as his assistant. The famed surgeon, Alfred Knudson, married his little nurse yesterday in New York. Yes, you guessed that It's Carol Strom. What? Boogie woogle in Carnegie Hall. Yes, It's Kathryn Mlelltz. Frank Pelley has just been named Instructor of Agriculture at the college In Ames, Aowa. Con Hovland and his wife, the former Hildreth Hanks have been sent to the wilds of Bongo Bongo as missionaries. Guess r'll turn to the Sports page. Why even here, the class of '49 is Making a name for Itself. Jim Mahoney Is now assistant manager for the St. Louis Cardinals. As Is my custom, I next turned to the adds. Here I saw an ad for Elliott's world's largest web footed frog legs, raised of course, In Bennington. Fresh vegetables for city tables. Kempe's truck farms. Stockdale's best Jet Hellocopters run, of course, by Glenn and Oakley Stockdale. Bakery goods at Watts Bakery, 21 St. Avenue. I was home. In the region of LeRoy the other day and visited many of the other members of the class. Mary lou Fister, now married, recently the toast of Broadway, got her start on dramatic roles in her senior class play, no doubt. Mavis Malcomson Is now working in her own little resturant In Hiceville Iowa with Jubby Gene as Co-owner. I saw Viola Harrington driving down the street here In a two toned Chev. home on vaction no doubt. She is living In Minneapolis. A success In the newspaper field as a reporter. Lorraine Prestegard and LaVonne Roe are both married and living In Chester Iowa. LaVonne Wolthoff is now using her famed voice for lullabies, and Mildred Younker Is working as telephone operator on the west coast. Bob Regan was in his rounds as vacuum cleaner salesman the day I wa3 home Howie Peterson is running the poolhall in Ostrander, still trying to master the art of bottle pool. Pete Hohnson is converting '29 Model A's into rocket cars. Paul Bothun is playing his part in the Atomic World. Did I say playing? Yes, he's stell playing in Gordyls Swing Band in his spare time from the Atomic Rocket Car factory. Last but not least, we find Betty Hanson as a model for the local Petite Shoppe. I think the class has become very successful, don't you?
