The reason for this was to make known their prosperity and position in life. Which simply means - to brag a little. The letters have now come pouring in. The first letter to arrive was from the former Janie Smith and Don Dean. Now Mr. and Mrs. , they are setting nice, with a 2, 000 acre farm known as the J 85 D Ranch, This is a typical success for this class. Aseveryone remembered, Kaye Shrum had a diamond ring on her left hand which seemed to be the real thing. They are now married ffinallyj and living quite comfortably - even if she does make the living. Kaye does get a little work out of her husband though, as he has to take care of the kids and bury the gold. Also, as everyone remembers, Pearl Burchell was the first of this class to receive a diamond ring. She has had a successful marriage thus far - even though Don turned out to be the one that wears the pants in the family of seven, and Pearl the skirts. Johnny Baze always was crazy about rocks. He still is. He now has the biggest and most expensive rock collection in the world - Alcatraz, which he has turned into a luxurious fishing resort. Some of his friends go there to make big ones out of little ones. We are all happy to find that June Petty became a real financial success by taking over her father's garage and becoming the first distinguished mayor of Arthur. Of course, the city buses must be overhauled every six weeks or so. We can't all have a glamorous vocation. Take for example Cholista Corban, whose sister beat her out of a good modeling job on the Nelly Don circuit. However, Cholista seems very happy. She was married instead and settled down in a mansion with her wealthy, financier hus band. Loretta Boese was always the bright one of the class. She is now teaching at Harvard Univer sity. Nothing further can be said, as she is also classified as top secret. Rex Pryor's interest in John Deere tractors has led to a real fun job for him. He now works as the chief tryoutster for John Deere at their biggest John Deere factory in the United States - located at,Deerfield, Missouri, of course, Richard Smith, who quit school to join the air force during his senior year, has never regretted it. He retires this mont-h after having served his country Chis burning ambitiony twenty years. He probably will be coming back to fish in that good old Osage River. If you're born with fishing blood, you're born with fishing blood, Jay Dean Becker came driving up just now in his new black Ford. He said that he never did like to write, so he'd just tell the story in person. He seemed to be happy playing professional basketball, Rumor has it that he is to be the first white player ever to join the Harlem Globe Trotters. Of course he'll have to wear black face for awhile. That seems to wind it up as far as the 1964 class goes. Twenty years sometimes makes a big change in people and places. It has just been affirmed that the annexation of the Nevada School district by Metz R-2 is a certainty for the 1984-85 school year. 5 r- 4. . -- ,, .1 - , ,- ,, , ' : . xf- ,- cl'-- -rn.

But, before we left the ground we had two new pass- engers, Edith Wittrig, and Lester Hahn, making a total of sixteen passengers. Piloting the plane was Jo Ed Robinson and her Co-Pilot was Richard Smith. Keeping the records was Cholista Corban and holding the money was Loretta Boese. Donald Dean kept the newspapers 'in contact with the events of our tour. Our overseer was Mr. Hart. When we landed our plane for a refuel, and a rest before starting on the rest of our tour, two of our passengers, Kenneth Colton and Edith Wittrig, decided to board another plane for a destination other than ours. ra As we headed, air-borne again on September 6, 1961, for the second part of our tour, one more passenger, Les- ter Hahn, had decided to take another route, but we had also gained one more passenger, Al Ray Leer, making a total of fourteen passengers. Piloting the plane was J ohnie Baze and the Co-Pilot was Donald Dean. Keeping track of all the records was Cholista Corban and holding the money was Kaye Shrum. Jo Ed Robinson had the job this time of keeping in touch with the newspapers. Our overseer was Mr. Hayward. We had a report to pick up two new pass- engers at the next stop. They were James Poulter and Johnny Roby bringing the total back up to sixteen. As we made our next stopover, James Poulter and Johnny Roby decided to discontinue the trip and we decided to spend the summer before continuing on the rest of our tour. We headed upward again into unknown adventures on September 3, 1962. We had only twelve passengers because Joe Malcom and Jo Ed Robinson had decided to embark on a new adventure of education. We had also gained a new passenger, Karen Boin, but as we made a short stopover for minor difficulties she also left us for different adventures. The pilot this time was Jay Dean Becker and the Co-Pilot was Kaye Shrum. Responsible for the records was Cholista Corban and holding the money was Loretta Boese. Keeping the newspapers fully informed was Johnie Baze. Ourvover- seer was Mr. Jones. One of the big events was receiving our class rings, of which we were all quite proud. As we s, ,Q Y, T had been traveling for close to nine months we decided it was time to stop for a rest before continuing on the last part HQ of our journey. Starting out on September 28, 1963, towards the final part of our trip, we had only eleven passengers because Al Ray Leer had bailed out. The pilot was Janie Smith with Cholista Corban as her Co-Pilot. Keeping the records of our journey was Jay Dean Becker, and keeping track of the money expenses was Kaye Shrum. Reporting all news events was Loretta Boese. Our overseers were Mr. Hart and Mr. Grandy. This was to be about the busiest year we had come in contact with yet. There were Senior Pictures taken at Fort Scott, then the Senior Skip Day, which was spent discovering the American Royal in Kansas Cityg of course, work on the annual, Senior Playg and of course that all im- portant Senior Commencement. As we came to the end of our tour we realized that these past four years had been well worthwhile and would f , probably always remain with us through the future years to come. And we also wish to express our thanks to everyone I 1 who has made our education possible and has helped to make it a very successful journey. t 4 0 V X is L fl A L 1. tp,-'. s - X ..,1.,.,..,.,.....,.,a.....,,.,--- 1.1, WW,
