Class Proplzecy Hurry, Sharon, get in or we'll be late. This is one time we'l1 have to be prompt. We don't want the rocket to leave without us. So goes the conversation of four girls who are hurrying in their heli- copter to catch the rocket which has been chartered to take members of the class o f'50 to a renunion on the planet Viking. Look at the peoplee down there. The whole class must have read Kauf- man's Katty Korner in the New York News. Sara got her start as a big time newspaper woman in the senior play. We're landing now, in our private parking space, just in time to see those great scientists Weldon Hendrickson, Don Hubbard, Bob Kulbiak, and Joe Sobocienski christening their latest invention the Madison Expreses. a modern streamlined rocket that will take this adventure seeking group to their destination to be renuited with other members of the class of '50. The trusty pilots of this giant monstrosity are Cynthia Sawusch, Oma Lee Hill, and Pat Anderson. We have to wait for the match king, David Long, to appear to light the fuse that will send us soaring to the high heavens. Listen to the babbling and talking! But above the din and roar of the crowd, we hear Hot Lips Kirkwood and the Bee Bob Eight: Joan Bildson, Marie Boginski, Ruth Raven, Bess Waterstraat, Shirley Wade, Mary Dennis, Adele Ronshausen, and Dorothy Bobo, beating out the saucy little tune Auld Land Sync . Oh, oh, look who's coming. We might have known. That second Milton Berle-Steve Erdodi, passing out those second hand jokes. There's Ted and Dolores having a friendly conversation, probably about their contract with MGM as the greatest love team in America. As we peak around the corner, we see Lytle Hoover doing his best to persuade Todd Briggs to join his Old Maid's Home, but it seems she has a better offer to teach dancing at good old M. H. S. What's the big deal at the table over there? Well, if it isn't hose card sharks Joyce Srouse and Joanne Mousseau trying to win the shirt off some poor guy's back. But not for long because there goes Detective Fearless White, armed with his trusty squirt gun, to the rescue. Look out for trouble no wbecause that leaves Jim Prewitt and his gnn moll Geri Roth unguarded, and who with an ounce of sense would do a thing like that? As we meander closer to the ship, we overhear Pat and Cindy talking about their pal Woots Battin lying on the beach basking in the Florida sun- shine in her newest French bathing suit. Bob Diamanti is creating a sen- sation with his plaid knickers. They are quite the rage now. He was always one for style. Bob tells us that Dick Ham McClellan owns a butcher shop on the new planet. We can see him now with his finger on the scales trying to pull a fast one on some unsuspecting customer. By the way, did you know that Joanne Roose and Marilyn Stafford have top billing at Carnegie Hall? Nick Posey Labedz and Gilbert Digger Merkel are talking over plans for their next funeral- Posey planning the flower arrangements and Digger planning the corpse arrangements. We learn that Charles Eilrich is the model in the Atlas ads. The only thing we don't know is whether he poses for the 'before or after . There's Shirley Marcotte sport- ing a big sign that says, Eat at the Eownship Grill . Shirley has taken over the Grill as proprietor, Etta Sawyers is chief cook and bottle washerg and Grace Stone is the curb girl. We see Olga Stolaruk, presidetn and sole owner of the modernized powder mill, sitting in an exclusive corner. Hmmmmm would you listen to that! June Johnson, Margaret Dzeroogian, and Gloria Schaffer are going over their plans for their 50th editio of that exciting new magazine Love at First Sight. They must have got some good ideas from all those True Story magazines they used to read in class. Who is that very dignified lady? It is Carole Londer who tells us she is getting along well as fContinued in the back of the bookj
