plvldllelfy This being the year 1961 the people of Lynnville are only slightly disturbed to see the whole class of 52 embark on their journey to account for their old fr1ends,the class of 51. Without regard to life or limb we let DeLoris take the wheel of Andy's adequately supplied hot air saucer and head for Fort Des Moines where we had been told we would find Top Sergeant Norma Petersma. She was busy at her off hour job of cleaning the latrine. Norma has ay career, her career being the acquiring of a mate. It seems there was an article in Stars and Strips to the effect that as a steno- grapher Norma is second only to My Friend Irma. Wac quart- ers being off limitsftofall men, the class decides to saucer off. Cruising along at 1600 miles a minute we duck our heads just in time to avoid losing them to our old friend Larry Van Rees who now considers himself a soup-ed up saucer racer, we cgntact hjn1qu1ck1y over our radar and settle down on a cloud for an informative rehash of ,days gone by. Larry is onlne way to deliver a hopped up wheel chair his 'own patented invention. Larry tells us Keith- is now Pres- ident of the Register and Tribune and happily married to Do- ris which of course doesn't surprise us.' Larry says he was flying over Los Angeles this morning early and heard Charles James, the now prominent Bill Stearns the II giving out with his wide and varied experience on the gridiron. Larry says he has to get that wheel chair delivered and that if we care to saucer along we might see Jeanne Gause and Lois Mered- ith. This arouses our suspicion so we climb aboard hoping our old friends will not be too ill to see us. We are surprised to find both of them in the best of health. Slim Jeanne is no longer slim but one of the chubbiest and most congenial nurses on the ward. Her spec1alty,,' the care and treatment of men afflicted with overactive growth glands She claims she has three or four men of eligible height for her now. Lois we hardly recognize. Now quite -an authority as a dietitian, having studied at Iowa State and abroad, she is fast becoming famous for her cooking and as a runner up as Miss America Last year. -We visit with Lois for quite awhile and as usual she is curious as to where all the boys are?, ,We account for all but Eugene and she suggests we try Alaska. Everyone agrees and we saucer off. Larry takes the wheel and as you might expect we are there in no time. We speak to a group of prospectors who have recently returned from a trip across the ice. They aren't sure but think the fellow we discribe is the one they had run in to in a number of villages. It seems Eugene has spent the last three years trying to teach the Eskimos the art of kis- sing as it is done in America. Like always Eugene, sure has his nose to the grind stone.
