Susanne Huffer is using her ability as a secretary to help keep books for her husband, Jack Ward, who is supervisor of the Stark and Wetzel Packing Company in Frankfort. Oh, yes, she has two children that are short just like her, one boy and a girl. They are happily married and live in Frankfort. Mary Kingery, naturally by 1961, has accepted the fatal question and is very happily married to a wonderful guy known to everyone as Dick. She said that their little boy and baby girl keep her busy Knot to mention her singing careerj. This, I can imagine if they are as full of pep as their mother! And, oh, yes, if you ever want to locate her, where else would you find her but with Dick on a farm southwest of Mulberry? Sarah Laughner told us that she was typing and keeping books for her husband, .Tim Shelton, who is working in railroad construction business. They are living in Frankfort also. Q Thelma Maish is now a registered nurse in the largest hospital in Indianapolis, and is studying to be a surgeon. She informed us that she is sun single. Thelma, don't take it so serious! Betty New was married the fall of 1951 to Max Crum and is living on a farm near QI'll bet you can't guess, Beard. They are the parents of four children. One is only two months old. She has blonde hair and dark brown eyes like Betty did when she was little. They think they are the happiest couple in the whole wide world. Wayne Patchett told us that he is living on a 376 acre farm ' near Avery with his pretty wife, the former Marilyn Sharp. They have no children as yet. Wayne also has a hobby of flying. After graduation, Jane Reed went to Indianapolis to learn to be a beautician. After she got her diploma, she came back to Frankfort and started a business of her own there. Looks like Norma and Jane are rivals now. James Thompson decided he wanted to see some country after he graduated. He and a friend took off in a Willy's Jeep. The southern states were unpleasant so they headed for the west. By the time they got to Nevada, they were broke. But by luck, they won about three hundred thousand dollars in a place called Harold's Cafe. They left Nevada and went to Texas. After they were there for awhile, they 19

Robert Crenshaw, who was the president of our class for three years, has finally decided to settle down. He does interior decorating as a hobby and is a farmer in Clinton County with the former Janet Weaver helping him. Oh, yes, all four of the boys have dark eyes like Janet. Gosh, this four boys business must be contageousf As a career, Marilyn Crum took up the art of stenography, but finding this only a pastime, she decided to settle down. She is now happily married to Phil Shanks, and they are the pround parents of two curly, blond headed boys. Jim Ashley's five daughters should get along nicely with all these boys, don't you think? After Donald Davis was graduated from school, he decided that he wanted to become a millionaire. Therefore, he and a friend started on a trip but did not know where they were going. Don't that sound just like Don, not knowing where to go? After about four weeks they had accumulated about four billion dollars at different gambling places. Then one day as the train was coming to a stop in Texas, his friend got a wild idea that he would like to buy a little ranch and raise thoroughbred horses. They now own the biggest and best horse ranch in Texas and take in about twenty thousand dollars a week. Just a mere drop in the bucket--small buckett Jeanette Evans is now married to Don Wainscott, who has taken over his father's job as superintendent of the Ingram-Richardson Factory at Frankfort. She lives in a newly built, modern home and is also helping her husband as a part-time secretary. They are the parents of a set of cute little twins, a boy and a girl. Well, we finally have a girl in this bunch of boys. Morris Fausett is one of the most well known truckers in the United States. After he graduated, he decided he wanted to be one of the biggest truckers in the U. S., so he went to Chicago and raised about two million dollars. Now he says he is rolling millions every month. Just keep it up, Morris. Joan Hedges told us that she had devoted the last ten years to caring for her children and writing poetry. Her children also are beginning to love her poetry which has become very famous. Richard Huffer is now the owner of the largest cue ball factory in the United States. His factory is in Texas. He says he is still un- married. What's the matter Dick? Don't the cowgirls play pool in T exas ? is

He moved from one job to another: then he met a Missourian girl who inspired him to be a detective for an insurance company in Chicago. Now he is hunting insurance delinquents. He meets lots of funny people, gets to travel all over the world, and enjoys it a lot. Jo Watkins is living on a farm near Lafayette with her husband, Cletus Miller. She is using her ability as a registered nurse in rearing her triplets, two girls and one boy. She is quite busy with her hobbies, singing and flying, and taking care of the children. Let's hope that Jo and Wayne don't have a head-on collision while searching the clouds. This is the list of all the class and what they are now doing. Who said the Seniors of 1951 wouldn't be famous? llviust have been Mr. Reedj. As this took most of the afternoon, it was time for every- one to start home. We all said our farewells, and left with the expectation of seeing everyone in 1971, ten years from now. Goodbye kids, see you thenf ia.:- An easy government job in the swivel service. He could always count on his wife to addle up the monthly accounts. He could convert a minnow of thought into a whale of sound. When it comes to used cars, it's hard to drive a bargain.
