54 ' rfyoicC TRecuttoK banquet Guess what the mailman, Joe Gilrowski, brought this morning? An invitation from Katharine Standley to attend the Class of 1954 Reunion in Merrillville. We jump into our car, manufactured by Wayne Pruiett and Sandra Borman, and go to the Spaceport, where we buy tickets from Dolores Cochran. The day our jet leaves we find that the pilot is Roland Melle, and Shirley Hull is the stewardess. When we arrive in Merrillville, we see that the old town has certainly changed in the past ten years. Don Hudock now owns The Chatterbox. Nancy Schultz owns the drug store where Larry Herzog is soda jerk. Donna Lindborg and Phyllis Manwaringown the new dress shop, The D-P Shop. Shirley Miller and Marilynne Senko are co-owners of the Merrillville National Bank. Judy Gilliland is vice - president-in-charge-of-tellers. Jim Ward has his own insurance agency in Merrill- ville. On the way to our hotel we pass Larry Monroe ' s farm, the most prosperous in Lake County, where A1 Fetkavich is experimenting with headless cabbages. Howard Ewen, Secretary of Agriculture, is checking on his progress. Joe Chiado operates the largest open-air market in this part of the country. Jim Campbell cleans chickens for Joe. Modeane Willis, as the first woman doctor in Merrillville, has opened the new clinic, Theresa Bianchi and Nancy Downs are nurses, and Gerrie Jensen is in charge of dental hygiene. Malcolm Halsted is now owner of the Culligan Soft Water Service, and Lenny Schmidt still works there during the summer. George Keaton manages Monty Halsted ' s service station. Fred Karrle has a big hot-rod agency next door to the station. Bill Deeter demonstrates the cars. Delores Roll owns the newest factory in town. She manufactures red hair dye from formulas prepared by Bob Purcell. Marilyn Richards and Janice Horner are partners in the local bakery. Helen Loyce still operates the scales at the Loyce Coal Company. We pull up to the Hotel Trussa, owned and operated by June. Dave Hoekstra opens the door and directs us inside to the desk clerk, Don Karsten. Frank Rice hails us and asks if we happen to know of anyone who would want a job at his Calumet Park Cemetery, digging graves--Darold Benton just quit. Since we don ' t, the bell boy, Bob Evans, picks up our bags and takes us to the elevator, where Rheta Katrenics, the operator, takes us to our rooms. Relaxing in our rooms before the banquet, we switch on TV. First, we see Royce Jolly, a TV emcee. Jackie Saxton and Loretta Szklarski are in the chorus line. Flipping the dial, we come upon Eugene Webb ' s new show, Drag-the-Net. 30
