current leader in the gubernatorial race. The class of '66 has contributed a great deal to the exploration of outer space; Joann Neideffer and Linda Bled- soe were the first women to land on Mars. Cheryl Truelove owns a Rustic Night Club on the moon. Lunar teens think it's the place to Go-Go. David Sanders coaches basketball at a high school on the moon. He has no trou- ble dunking it up there. Terry Hosier was scheduled to be the first man on Saturn, but, unfortunately, he was late arriving at the launch pad. I guess that proves that tardiness is a habit. I had to return to Washington, D.C. to arrange for my departure, but there I found still more of my classmates. Sue McCrary was not long ago elected to the Senate, on the Conservative Ticket, of course. Minority Leader of the House is none other than Susan Street. The way Senator McCrary and Representative Street are tearing up the streets of Washington is the major problem facing Police Commissioner Danny Cox and his Chief-of-Police Larry Wildman. Since the recent appointment of Earl Crowder to the President's Cabinet as Postmaster General, more mail has been lost than ever before in the history of the United States. Eileen Weitkamp is now United States Am- bassador to the U. N. We know her to be well acquainted with the work of that great body. Don Gowins is head of the CIA and it seems there is a dangerous security leak in that department. As I boarded the plane, the lady be- fore me seemed somewhat familiar. I was happy to see it was Laura Crane. It seems she's the wife of the military attache at the embassy. By: Brad Gregory 29

The incumbent Governor of Indiana, Ronnie Goller, is fighting an election duel with the opposing party leader, Ronnie Bledsoe. Whoever wins, we are confident, will make a superb leader for the Hoosier State. I found other of my classmates in various parts of the country: Quite a few members of the class of '66 are well- known leaders in the automotive field. Rose McGuire won the Daytona 500 last year. She said her pit crew, Kenny Hedrick, Martin Drew, and Lonnie Survance, was a collection of mechanical geniuses, a point debated by many. She drove a Kaiser-Frazier automobile manufactured by Randy Kaiser. John Milligan is a big dealer in motorcycles. His sales slogan is When in doubt about cycles, see your nearest neighborhood hood. Denny Allen owns the Lucky Strike Tobacco Company in Richmond, Virginia. He's a key figure in the legislative battle to abolish smoking prohibitions in schools. Pixie Strickland has taken up a writing career. Her most recent best seller is, Why I Forget to Remove My Gum in Psychology Class. Vonda Parsons is out in Montana with her sheep rancher husband. She says she's always been very fond of lambs. Wilma Rinsch has done extensive work in biological research. She has recently developed a new variety of mon- key, the Rinsch Monkey; or is it the Monkey Rinsch? Ronnie Steele is president of the Gillette Safety Razor Company. I was surprised to find he had overcome his fear of shaving. Mickie Coget bought the Beech-Nut Chewing Gum Company. Her new television commercial shows a classroom full of girls saying, Got Any Gom? ✓ Several members of our class make their homes on the West Coast now. Lynda Moore and Rose Hembree are Los Angeles hair stylists. They've worked for Phyllis Diller, Dr. Zorba, and Cousin It. Linda Taylor owns an illustrious Hollywood dance troupe, Tat's Tappers. Margaret Cox recently won an Oscar for her performance in Think Small by her playwrite husband Larry Dent. John Inman has just released his latest movie, Ladies Prefer Redheads. Delores Waggoner has her own television serial, Batwoman. Jill Perkins, who returned to California after her year at L. H.S., went into motion pictures too, but, like so many theatrical people, turned to politics. She's a 28
