As we followed Raymond and Katy, who continued walking, we saw them get bumped into by a peanut vender. Upon a second glance, we saw that this vender was another old classmate, Robert Roy, who took such an interest in peanuts that he raised them for a living and even got paid with them. Look who's over here, Katy exclaimed, it's Richard and Naomi Snavely. Let's go talk with them. We found Richard had become a very successful farmer after graduating, and he now special- izes in the care and production of schmoos for breeding, which Richard said was an interesting occu- pation. After leaving the Snavely's we noticed that Katy and Raymond spotted a small group of '52 graduates who were busy discussing their school days. Raymond interrupted their conversation long enough for each one to say a few words. We heard a woman say, Why, yes, l've been married now for over l0 years and Louie and I have three daughters and two sons. We're living on a small farm just outside of Deshler. The children just love the farm. This, of course, was Marilyn Deutschrnan, whom We knew as Marilyn Adams. And what have you been doing, Ronnie? Raymond asked a tall, quiet, blond gentleman. Con- trary to the belief of all his classmates that Ronnie would also turn to farming, he, like Frank had become a professional athlete and was now on the swimming team representing the U. S. in the Olympics. As this group interview continued, we heard two more familiar voices. One was Bernita Bunnell. lt semed Bernita was married shortly after graduation to a young man named Bishop. That, she said was so she wouldn't have to change the monograms on all her handkerchiefs, blouses, etc. The other familiar Voice was that of Mary Mae Bibler, who also married. She and Gerald are living beside the Bishops so Mary Mae and Bernita could continue being close friends. I had better find some seats so we Won't miss the big show, Katy said, l'll be seeing you. As Katy sat down, she was approached by a woman with a notebook and pencil. Kate recognized her as Marlene fMiller. Marlene explained she was interviewing people at the circus for the McComb Herald Tribune, the city's thriving newspaper. Here's my assistant, she said. Katy was quite surprised to see Nancy Clevenger, who had also been in her class at dear old McComb. After visiting for a While, Katy was again alone with her children and the big show was about to begin. First the elephants paraded around the tent. When Katy saw who was riding one of the elephants she almost choked on a peanut. lt was Vicky Andonian, and what a pretty rider she was! Katy waved and Vicky, seeing her, waved back. Wh,at a long time since l've seen her, thought Katy. W ' B' As the parade continued, what to her astonished eyes should appear, but a pair of Siamese twins. Of course, they weren't really twins, because Kate recognized. them as Bonita Crouse and Carolyn Ewing. They would certainly fool anybody who didn't know them, though, Katy said to herself. Katy was quite surprised to see Carolyn and Bonita masquerading as Siamese twins, but when she saw the bareback riders, her mouth dropped open like a door with a broken hinge. Imogene Newcomer and Bonnie Thomas, of all people, although she had to admit they were pretty good. Pushing down through the crowd, with a few hasty Excuse mes Katy dashed out of the ring to talk for a moment with Imogene and Bonnie. She was instantly interrupted by Raymond, who hap- pened to glance at his watch and cried, Great Scott, Katy, corne on! We have only twenty minutes to reach the studio and get these notes put together for the 6:00 broadcast. With a hasty goodbye they disappeared into the Crowd. 24
