Bob Burgener has become the greatest mechanic and car salesman in the state. While trying to sell a car the other day. Bob told his customer that this car was so fast that if you left at eight one night, you would be in Brooklyn at four the next morning. The customer said he'd think it over. The next day he came back and told Bob he guessed he wouldn't take the car. because he just didn't want to go to Brooklyn. After graduating from High School Margaret Rossen entered nurses' training. One day, while checking a patient she dis- covered that his pulse was beating very fast. She rushed out for the doctor. who, on arrival, noticed that Margaret looked like she didn't feel too well.

' Sondra Walsworth married Don Lake right after she graduated from high school. While Don does the cooking and sewing and all the little household duties, Sondra sings at a ritzy night club. When people remark about her singing she says, l sing with all my heart and soul . The general reply to that is, why don't you try using your voice, too . You'd never guess it, but Don Riepe is the manager of the Uptown Theater in Marceline. This promotion came from all the experience he received by working at the show during his years in high school. Nancy Turner is running a laundry and is doing very well with the business. She attributes part of her success to the sign she has in the window which says. Why kill your wife?

He was Bob's understudy, but so many people addressed their fan mail to Glenn, that Bob finally gave up. Wilma Ruth Hayes is married and has two children. but she still finds time to go to the movies when the great actress, Rose Smith, is in the show. She says when she sees Rose. she is re- minded of their senior class and spends the rest of the evening re- membering her wonderful high school days at M. H. S. Ronald Hosford has been trying very hard to get on a big league baseball team, but he always gets turned down when he is forced to admit that his record is no hits. no runs. and no errors.

They plan to be married soon. As Bill was taking her home one night, he said, l could hold your hand forever. l'd like to put it in my pocket and take it with me . Oh. don't worry. dear . Estella answered sweetly. lt'll be in your pocket enough after we're married . Ray Maganna has become a barber. He owns a small shop on North Kansas Avenue.

They are always trying to outdo each other, so when Bobby Io said that her husband was an important government worker, Kitty Von quietly announced that her's drove a big car and handled money all day long. It wasn't until later that I learned that the big car was a street car and the money was the fare the passengers gave him. Well, it's getting pretty late now, and I'm afraid I've spent too much time reminiscing about my school chums. It makes me kinda' unhappy to think about most of them being so happily mar- ried. while I can't every marry because I've already received my ried, while I can't ever marry because I've already received my to find the right place for my business.

After going to the lights, I happened to see an old '53 grad- uate. Bob Murray. Naturally I was interested in what he had been doing and asked him to tell me about his lile since grad- uation and about the rest of the class of '53. Bob said he had located one other member of his class while driving through a small town in Kansas, looking for a place to start his Murray's Drivers Training School . Bob happened to see a poster that read Charles Abeln Fighting Here Tonight! He was in Bob's graduating class at Marceline. That started Bob to thinking about the rest of his class of '53. He also said that Ianie Axcell is doing quite well as the head oi a big law firm in the Middle West. She started out as the secretary, but it seems she was settling all their cases for them so they traded places and now her used to be boss is her secretary. Howard Shives is happily married to Charlene Rogers and is living in the suburbs of a large town in Ohio. While Charlene stays home cooking and taking care' of the three boys all day, Howard is busy carrying a sign on his back that says. Try White's Laundry for a whiter wash . Bonnie Fox is living ln Kansas City, Mo.. now. She did have a good job as secretary to a good-looking man. All she did all day was to sit and dream of what it would be like to be married to his boss. One day she forgot that she wasn't' really married to him and said something that he didn't like so well. I won't tell you exactly what happened. but Bonnie is now looking for another iob. While watching television he was surprised to see a familiar face and hear a familiar voice accompanied by an electric guitar. Don Kauzlarich now on his own T V program, seemed to be doing very well. Mrs. Don Kelly, better known to us as Olive Fisher. and 14 Caryl West have gone into business as beauty operators. Their business is located in New York. Nola Beth Still always was crazy about baseball. so she decided to try out Ior a girls' baseball team. Can you catch? asked the manager. I caught a iel1ow . she replied. Can you run? was the next question. How do you think I caught him? inquired Nola. She got the job and is now a famous ball player. Barbara Watskey is married and has a very nice home. She is getting along fine. but I remember well an incident that hap- pened when she iirst married. She was trying to impress her new husband with her cooking. One night tor dessert she served him a piece of burnt cake. When he asked what had happened to it she replied. The cook book said to leave it in at least 35 minutes and it was done 10 minutes before I could take it out. Ierry Brooks is an outstanding detective in New York. One day he walked into the newspaper office and told the editor his name. What about it? inquired the editor. You've got it in your paper today that I'm dead . said Ierry. There must be some mistake . assured the editor. and we're very sorry . very sorry sneered Ierry. Do you realize what a tix I'd be in today if I was one of those guys that believe every- thing he reads? After giving much thought to what her career should be. Donna Fowble finally decided that she was meant to be a poet. But she gave it up when she could find no one to publish her first poem, which went something like this: Women's faults are many: Men have only two - - Everything they say and Everything they do.
