One fine May day in 1972 I was sent out Sponsors- Mr. Parmelee and Mrs. Grant Room Mothers - Mrs. Symms, Mrs. Stone, Mrs. Robison, Mrs. Usabel Our Senior play You Can't Take It With You, was really a success. Everyone in the class was a participant in one way or another. CLASSPROPH by my boss, SHIRLEY RENZ, of the Marsing Statesman, to find and interview the graduates of the class of 1952. The Marsing Statesman is famous for print- ing stories which are of utmost interest to the daily readers, so with graduation drawing near, what would be better than to interview some past graduates and find out what they had been doing the past 20 years. I first went to see DALE LAWRENCE, the proprietor of the Reno Night club, who was having as a special attraction a new dance star, BETTY NEEDS. Her accompanist and manager Was her husband, IIMMY KENT. Fol- lowing Dale's advice as to where I would find most of the graduates of '52 and get informa- tion about the rest, I Went to the Chamber of Commerce dinner. As I staggered in I saw their guest speaker, MARVIN WILSON, Presi- dent of the University of Idaho. Sitting next to him was the professor of literature from the College of Idaho, FOREST FLECK. Seated at another table was RONALD BREWER, the man- ager of the new Sears store that just opened in Marsing. Rumor has it that wedding bells will soon ring for him and EVELYN RABOURN, who is the cook at the Marsing High School hot lunch room. DONALD RAYMOND, owner of the Tiny Tots Shoppe, directed me to a fashionably dressed woman who was seated at the other end of the room. Why it was MARY ANN IHLI, the girls' coach at the High School who coaches the boys' sports on the side! I asked her for some gossip about some of the rest of the guys and girls and here's what I got. BARBARA LARSEN eloped with some guy from Missouri as soon as she graduated but after their first quarrel she Went home to mama! GINGER SYMMS, a lawyer practicing in New York, has just finished a case connected with the Red Investigation Committee. ARLENE BURMAN and DOROTHY BALLINGER are both nurses at Blackfoot. When the two tried to resign last year they wouldn't let them. Maybe they were getting too used to having them around. Roman Usabel and Marvin Wilson Co-Captains on the football squad. By the looks of Mary Ann Ihli and Needs wearing engagement rings, we that they have future plans. We had another class-mate, H. B. who started the year with us but went to his home-town of Brownville, Texas., about six weeks. ECY 0F'12H WeI'e Betty think Ator, back after DUANE GREER turned out to be one of those absent-minded bachelors. He just about Won a contest the other day, one of these things that goes, Complete in 25 words or less 'Why I use Duz in my washing machine'. There's only one thing he overlooked, it was only for housewives. The Honorable CHESTER CASE, Senator from Idaho, representing us in Wash- ington, was home visiting during the Easter holidays. His wife, a former torch singer, ac- companied him. ROMAN USABEL married a hillbilly a few years back and you can see him any time up in them thar hills running around barefooted chasing reveenooers. You daily readers of the Marsing Statesman will recall the story reported to you by SALLY QSCOOPJ SUBIA concerning the gambling racketeer ROCKY STONE. He was arrested Iuly 26, l957, by F.B.I. Agent RALPH CHASE. Brought in for questioning was his gun moll ALBERTA WALLACE. Dale was found guilty and was sentenced by Iudge IIM WALKER to five years in prison. Leaving the building I recalled a news bulletin I had read about TOM ROBISON running a travel agency that specialized in trips to Mars. MELVIN HALE was his designer and manufacturer of the rockets. Another class mate, BETTY KANESHIGE, is now famous as a dress designer. Every teenager can now be seen Wearing a Betty K dress. Leaving the building I also bumped into the policeman on that beat, IIM STEWART. I noticed he had lost a lot of weight, probablv from walking the loneliest mile in the world, Broadway-My Beat. As I climbed into the car I noticed the building by which it was parked. I looked closer and saw a sign which read Dr. CY LOOTEN, M. D. when I inquired about him I also learned that HAROLD SIRCIN was employed there as his secretary. Oh well, they were always inseparable. I climbed into the car as I had' only one hour before the paper went to press. It was good to hear about the old gang again.
