From 1950 OUR 1960-This is a flying year--air travel is at its peak. Things are mov- ing so fast that the world just can't seem to keep up with them. just look at Meyersdale for example. XVhy the B 8: O is so fast that the Casselman River has been blown clear over to Bedford County. Even the old shirt factory is feeling the change-I hear they're making jet propelled flying suits now. But one thing they can't change, I guess, is that sweet old maple syrup. That's the best tastin' stuff I've ever had the privilege eatin'-it seems to make my bicuspids pop up and take notice. Speaking of maple syrup reminds me of those first festivals we had. Those were the days-the gay 40's. My old high school days were lots of fun-I can't relive them they say, but I sure do have memories. School memories are fine memories. Why, way back in 1950 I never thought that Patty Conn would be teaching weight-lifting but is thinking of going back to taxi driving. Louis Carouse is coach of the South Side Bulldogs. Buzz Belcher is playing guard for him. Louie has twenty-five cheerleaders with Regena Saylor as leader. Dick Vitale has taken Walt Disney's place. By the way, he'll be one of the celebrities to attend the Maple Festival this year along with Irene Quattro and Wayde Gray who are also in Hollywood. Wilda Weimer just got back from Reno after divorcing her fourth hus- band. Carl Phalin has been voted America's number one play boy. just think of it, Betty Martz is still Mr. Hosie's secretary fHow did she stand him this long?j Don Wagner is a violinist. He is playing solo chair in the Meyersdale Symphony. Bob Pollock is playing solo clarinet in this organization. Dale Phennicie's band is really making headlines. They hope to get him to play for the Queen's Ball this year. Barbara Lawson, Ruth Hutzell, Pauline Bowman, and Vernon Bittner are his vocalists. Ron- nie Fritz is his manager. jack Bassett, a very hadsome and brilliant young man is now Mayor of Garrett. james Smiley is singing commercials on the radio. Helen Baker is a news commentator. Zona Diveley and Bettylu Shockey are typewriter repairmen. It seems George Shockey lost out in big time, he is back on thc farm singing to his chickens. Speaking of farms the class of '50 can be right proud of quite a few of their members. jack Engle has a large dairy farm--five hundred cows. He's the first farmer around here to use atomic powered milkers. Harold Crissinger has been chosen Pennsylvania's lead- ing farmer. Albert Diveley is a veterinarian and even argues with the poor dumb animals. 62
