C1wPwf0iws t J has a full-time job as housemother for the funeral home. Have you heard from Betty Ann Hardesty lately? I hope she is happy with her job as Dean of Girls at North Heidel- burg. Another one of our classmates has come into his own. Dick Fuller is the new Fuller Brush salesman. There is a new club in our town called the Lonely Hearts Club . It is sponsored by three happily married people- Pat Johnson, John Jones, and Peggy Burwell. I also heard that Sandra Hites and Marianna Weidman have been converted by G.L. and are now running for county commissioner on the Democratic ticket, of course. There are just a few more that I have heard about. Carolyn Miller seems to be doing quite well teaching diction in Kentucky. Barbara Goings is real gone- she's a beatnik. Jerry DeGood is making millions on his new invention of collapsible sun glasses. This next one will really slay you. Bill Helmick is an understudy to Don juan. Bill Lucas is now the highest paid hair shaver in the metropolis of Peoria. Since Bill Waugh talks so slowly, he's become a senator and can filibuster for hours. He is helping Ioan Rohr persuade the government to let school out on Abraham Lincoln's birthday. I heard about Mike Morelock, but I don't think I had better repeat it here. Becky Elk has gone into partner- ship with Mr. Riser running an Elk and Moose Lodge. Before I close, I want to congratulate you on cutting your first record. Since you have just started in the record factory, I hope it will be a big success. Sincerely yours, Barbara Clifford, a graduate of '60 Dear Barbara, I received your letter concerning the alumni get together and think it would be great fun. I have gotten in touch with many of our classmates and I will give you the report. I decided to make it a day's journey. I went to good old M.H.S. first to see ifI could get a line on some addresses of our old classmates. Well, whom do you thinkl ran into in the office, Sabra Dolan, who is back at M.H. S. teaching El Espanol. After I recovered from this shock Mrs. Becker, who was in the midst of rolling Spring Festival programs hobbled to the files and gave me a list. My first visit was to a large estate just out of town where Gene Spurgeon and his harem reside. It seems that the reason is, that Gene used two dabs of Brillcream. While I was driving back to town, I decided to listen to the radio and whom did I hear but Karen Magsig. She is now Miss Monitor. She gives the weather, the time, the temperature and her telephone number, 3-1956. I passed Oakdale Cemetery on my way in town. There was large sign over the entrance. It said, Try our easy lay away plan, Pay as you go! , signed Jim Walker, grave digger. One of our farmers is doing quite well. David Griffith is the head manure loader at Carl Coleman's. Jack Blessing whom we thought might become a farmer is a bookie under the supervision of G. L. After 4 years in Agricultural College and cooking his own meals, Bill Mitchell has become a housewife. Farmer Mickey Dunbar is the highest paid hair stylist for Hollywood's rock and roll singers. When I arrived in town it was almost time for dinner so I decided to eat out. I went into Walgomot's and there sat David Green. He is running in close competition with G. L. He is majoring in Democratic Civics. After eating I wanted to buy a good paper back book. While looking over the newest editions, one by none other than Harold Wolford caught my eye. It was I Led 2 Lives or How to Skip School 3X4 of the Time and Still Grad- uate. When I finally got back to the car there was a handbill on my windshield. It said that Dave Johnson preached every Sunday night at the Tabernacle otherwise known as Mummy's Sarsaperilla Bar and everyone is invited to attend. My attention was suddenly taken by the sound of a motor. It was near the Scott's building. I went over to in- vestigate and whom did I see wearing coveralls and holding clippers, but Mary Alice Vollrath who used to be very experienced at mowing lawns. It seems that she is now top lawnmower at Scott's. While talking with our lawn mower, I noticed that the lawnmower motor was built by Jim Moder. He is the President of Moder's Motors, Inc. 97

Class Pwplteog Tuesday, May 25, 1980 Dear Hazel, It has been quite a while since I have seen the members of our dear old class of sixty. Since this is the twentieth anniversary of our graduation, don't you think it would be,fun to get the whole gang together for a reunion? I have been quite busy with all the work and I haven't been able to keep in touch with everyone. I will give you a list of the ones that I have heard from recently and maybe you could fill me in on the rest. I can hardly wait to see them. We will have to plan a really big party. Do you remember how we used to talk about Janet Beightler going to Columbus all the time during school? Well, the other day I took-the bus down there to do some shopping and was I surprised to see her at the wheel! She probably couldn't bear not being with that familiar bus. After we had gone a few miles out of Marysville, I saw a big red barn with the name Don Bouic printed in big black letters. I walked up to Janet and asked her if that was the same one who had gone to school with us. She said yes, and that he was now cross-breeding Holsteins with Holsteins to get a cow that gives milk. While we were stopped at the light in Dublin, a big bright poster happened to catch my eye. You'll never guess whose picture was staring back at me. It was Carol Smith and that big grin of hers. She was advertising Gleam toothpaste. After we had arrived at the bus station in Columbus and I was walking up toward town, I ran into Bob Gordon. He is now the circuit salesman for Ohio Pennant and his area is from East Parsons to Goodale. When I reached the corner in front of Lazarus, I noticed the morning papers lying near the cigarette stand. Iwalked lover to buy a paper and who should be there selling them but Judy Lockwood. She was looking very happy. I imagine it was because she had finally gotten her vendor's license for Kent cigarettes. We talked for a while and thenl went on. As I .opened the newspaper, I noticed that the headlines were concerned with Y-Teens. There on the front page was our own Toni Welsch. She had aged some, but it was still Toni. She had been to a Y-Teen con- ference in Russia. As Y-Teen representative of the free world, she had just talked Krushchev into letting the Russian Y-Teen girls wear white uniforms. At the bottom of the page was a picture of Lynn Ra usch. She is making headway as the U. S. Ambassador to Japan. I was up in the women's department and I saw another one of our classmates. It was Jan Clevenger and she was selling anklewraps. That's a product that's becoming more and more useful as the years go on. I had to buy a birthe day present for my mother so I went up to the lingerie department. You know you can always find something suitable up there. Wasl surprised when the clerk turned out to be Jerry Yoder. He has very excellent taste and my mother really liked the gift. Our TV went kaput last week so I went up to price a new one. There were four TV's in a row, all with different stations. As you might guess, three of them were commercials. On the first one was Jackie Diehl advertising Man,-Tan, and on the next one was Don Hauser doing the big Otis commercial and playing his bagpipes. I-suppose that Iudy's at home With the kids. They probably eat cereal for all three meals. The next commercial was very interesting. I think Eve Riser has at last reached the height of her acting career, she was on top of the X-brand roll on deodorant. When I came to the fourth TV set there was a middle-aged man doing barnyard imitations. It was Dorence Rausch and he was in his third week on Amateur Hour. As it was nearing closing time, I rushed down to the bus station. When I ran past Lazarus garage, I saw Lavelle Parker. She is a parker there. Nearing the outskirts of town, we met with a small accident. We were hit broadside by a train. None of us were hurt too badly, but we were all sent to the hospital. You'll never guess who was driving the train. It was Crell Dana. After all those years studying engineering, he is now driving the New York Central. At the hospital we were ushered into a waiting room to await our turn with the doctor. Since I was at the end of the line, I decided to look around. On the door next to the drinking fountain, there was a picture of a baseball player being carried off the field. Under it was the name of Bill Fraker. You remember him don't you? Well, I went in to see him and I guess this was the last straw. After playing ball for one year and breaking 2 arms, 4 fingers, 2 legs, and his collar bone, he's decided to become a coach. He was nervously watching the clock. When I asked him what was wrong, I found out that he was waiting for his turn to listen to Donna Shirk. She is loved by all because she entertains the patients with selections on her accordian. I just received minor abrasions and contusions and now I am home resting. Say, I heard John Doellinger and Jerry Simpson are now running a combination golf course and poolhall. I received a letter recently from Janet Zell. I gathered from it that she is very busy with all her farm chores. She told me that Sandy Sabins now has the top position at Westinghouse, she refills the pop and popcorn machines. Janet also told me that Sharon Barnhart 96

After a short chat I started on my way again. I noticed the gas tank was getting low so I decided to stop in at one of our friendly gas stations. Who should fill up my car's gas tank but Beverly Goff, the head of the Gulf Station. I decided that since gas station attendants know all the town gossip that she might know something about our class members. She told me that Jo Herd who had studied to be a band conductor is working nights in a zipper factory testing zippers. Berry Smith, who all thought would be in Florida by this time, is still furnishing treats for Civics Class. Jim Daley is head pool racker at Hoy's Recreation Hall. Leota Baldwin works days as a fat lady in the circus and nights advertising Regimen Tablets. Karen Rausch has won fame and fortune by being able to pick out the sharpest cars for Ripley's Chevrolet. Kay Darby is busy at home taking care of her 8 children. lt seems that this is all she knew about our classmates so I decided to mosey on my way. Picking up the latest edition of Marysville Mosaic I read wh?-are Bill Kirby has earned a 20 year scholarship at OP, Ohio Pen, and has started the Disc Jockey show, Ball and Chain . The latest science developement has to do with one of our own classmates, Kenny McCarty has put 3 2's on his misguided missile and sent it to the moon. Looking at the advertisementsl saw where Sally Dasher has gone into partnership with Marvin E. selling organs. It was getting late so I decided it would be best to go on home. I sat down to watch my favorite program Howdy Doody. Who should flash on the screen but Katie Starr who has joined the new revised super duper Howdy Doody Show and is touring the world as the new Clarabelle. The next show was Lawrence Welk. I was surprised that after 20 years of practice on his trumpet, Jim Straley finally made it. He works the bubble blower. This reminded me that Paul Dittmar was the star tuba player on Spike Jones. It was getting later and later and I Wanted to watch a thriller. And what should thrill me more than to see Larry Reed playing an undercover agent for Eliot Ness. At commercial time I was about to get some refresh- ments when a familiar face caught my eye. It was Shirley Bigelow on an island teaching Ubangis how to hula as they walk while her partner Avis Arnold, who is doing the advertising, is teaching the Ubangi Maidens to use cos- metics to the greatest advantage. A news bulletin broke in at this time which announced that Ann Yarrington was chosen Mrs. America for her form-I mean formula for making Goober Peas . The next show was to be Lex's Live Wrestling. For the past 3 years Wilbur the Killer Outhwaite has been the Franklin County Champion Wrestler on Lex's Live, and tonight he was going to be on and I couldn't miss it. Speaking ofBoxers, Jim Easton is raising Boxers with his partner Duke . Congratulations Barbara, I saw you last week on the old Arthur Murray Show. Lots of Luck on your new Show. Well, I IUUSI close now with Sara Sue Strunkenburg's regrets that she will not be able to make the Reunion. It seems that she was washing her car with Lestoil yesterday and she became completely emulsified. Love, Hazel P.S. I just received a telegram from Fran Chuppa who is the recruiting officer at Paris Island. She had heard about the reunion and wanted to tell me about some of the people. Beverly Elliot is cast as Scarlet O'Hara in the new Gone With the Wind movie. Carol Brehm is now trying to convince the boys in graduating classes not to be drunkards. Previous to disciplinary actions Sally Wilt Clarridge is playing for the Philidelphia warriors. Connie Frye is playing Bloody Mary in South Pacific. I have to close now, my husband is being honored at a Banquet where he is to be made the King of Pickle Week. I always said he was a dilly. H.F.
