California, to see where the seniors of 55 are keeping themselves. As we travel along we find that Jackie Voth is opera- ting a 1,000 acre ranch near Guymon, Oklahoma. He spe- cializes in purebred Angus cattle. Roland Loewen is a Bible instructor at Grace Bible Institute where we also find Levi Isaac and Bob Harder as head basketball and track coaches respectively. Doris Classen and Linda Classen are on the Congo Belgium Mission field. They have many stories to tell us about their experiences. Junior Ediger is a very prosperous rancher who we meet while he is showing his registered herefords in the Chicago Livestock Exhibition. Next we find Wilmer Classen designing and testing new dreamboats for General Motors Inc. Duane Harder is testing new planes for Boeing Air- Craft Corp. of Wichita, Kansas. Walter Rempel is the owner of the Rempel Machine Shop. He has recently returned from a two-year trip to Europe. Esther Bergen is a housewife in a large modern house in Wichita. Rosie Isaac is a music teacher at Wheaton College. By the way, she is still single. We could not interrupt Alvina Loewen since she was busy taking dictations from the president of Boeing Air- Craft Incorporated in Wichita, Kansas. We rest a little on the plane until we reach the mis- sion field in India where LeVon Balzer is working. We come back to Meade to see Lovella Classen, who is teaching English in M. B. A. Sherril Shreoder is a farmer at Meade and a school board member at M. B. A. Ronald, following in his father's footsteps is now a member of the school board and is known as a successful farmer. Harry Isaac is a professor of Mathematics at Bethel College. We remember him as being a genius. Also at Bethel College we see Judith Bergen is Dean of Women. 10 ELDA FRIES EN Duty First.
