CAM!! I-010 ec? May 30, 1960 Dear Shelia, Ten years have come and gone since we were together as a class at Madison. After much reminiscing, l decided thata brief account of your classmates might shed some sunlight your way. Doing missionary work in Japan doesn't sound too cheerful to me. Some time ago it was my most honored privilege to act as Mistress of Ceremonies at one of Madison Township's distinguished organizations of social seeking women of today, The Order of Married Women--No. 6. The program began with a gracious rendition of the Piano Concerto in Biff by the now famous musician Mrs. Vincal Gervucnbeci, the former Arlene Geyer. We were then led in singing Auld Lang Syne by the soprano soloist, Mrs. J. S. Choker, fEsther Frickl. It was then my privilege to introduce the guest speaker, Mr. T. J. James. Mr. James has proven quite successful inthe field ofnovelistic work. This field has been quite an asset to the James family since he can supply his own reading material. I-le reviewed his latest pocket novel, Jesse James, My Uncle. To everyone's dismay the program was bluntlyinterruped by a zealous saleswoman of mousetraps. fMartha Adams, As the program came to a close, one of the most startling events occurred when the former Betty Gostola was stricken with an exaspirating attack of cat fobia. Immediatelywe summoned Dr. D. J. Schrock, who is practicing medicine in Madison Center. Cecelia Monhaut serves as his nurse. Then occasion arose to thank the R-C-A Modern Printing Co. For their fine sub- mission of programs and decorations. This firm is composed of some of our own '50 graduates. Doris Anthony holds the position of feature editor, Delores Conrad is now art editorg and Norma Reidenbach is private secretary to the editor-in-chief, Devon Kobold. The program was closed with a prayer by the Rev. E. L. Schutz, pastor of the Snookerville Reformed Church. Couples attending the program were Mr.'and Mrs. fMardell Anthonyl Wilbur Christman, Mr. and Mrs. fPhyl1is Young, Roland Klein, Mr. and Mrs. fGeraldine Dies, Duane Laidig, Mr. and Mrs. fNancy Stuber, Richard Bricker, and Mr. and Mrs. fBetty Gostolal Joe Wagner. Mr. and Mrs. fDonna Hillj John Fehr's absence was due to illness in the family. Mr. C. A. Stuber, Mr. F. A. Beutel, and Mr. C. J. Beutel united to enter the doorway to fortune with their newly established manufacturing firm in Jonesville. Well, Shelia Iwill close now for it is almost dinner time, but I certainly am proud of our 1950 graduating, class. Aren't you?' Your '50 graduating mate, Roma Wyman P. S. Mrs. Haslanger and Mr. Birk have retired. Yes, they played a large part in our success. Sponsored by EDW. LIENHART 8: SONS, Wakarusa 13
