Senate Class of '63 Anywhere, U.S.A. June 4, 1984 Old Age Home for Retired Assistant Principals Room 66 Rocking Chair, Illinois Dear Mr. Hentze, Twenty-one years have passed since you so faithfully and helpfully served us as our class advisor. We thought that you would like to know what we have accomplished since our grad- uation from Minooka High School. We are now assembled in the midst of our reunion, and we feel this would be an opportune time to tell you just how far we've come. This year we've met in the relaxing setting of gentlemen farmer Jim Holbrook's estate. As we lounge around Jim's swimming pool in his patio, we see our 'classmates and their hus- bands and wives arriving and having fun. Bill Andrews is here taking a break in his studies at Harvard, where he is still working on his Ph.D. of everything degree. Bill is discussing atmospheric pressure's effect on body me- tabolism with Dawn Stalker and Diana Littlefair, who are nurses who specialize in the care of monkeys, before and after space flights. Another registered nurse, Jackie McCoy, is treating electrical engineer Jon Murley for shock. A little while ago Jon got quite a jolt from Jim,s electric drink mixer. Taking it easy in three patio chairs are Janet Blair, Barb Costello, and Wayne Pehlke who own and operate the prosperous Janet Blair, Barb Costello, and Wayne Pehlke Beauty Salon and Barber Shop located in Pehlkeville. Pitcher Don Davidson, who has the distinction of never losing a game to the Cardinals, is swapping some old Mn Miller jokes with his old friend and now professional basketball player, Larry Korelc. Bev Beasley who is the President of the zany Wives Club, is conversing with Treasurer Diana Schuman and Secretary Shirley Mitchell. Comparing money rolls are millionaires Jerry McCowan and Tommie Williamson. Leroy Steffes, a high school math teacher, is judging the contest. Gene Frederick and David Lyons, owners of the We Tow Anything on Wheelsv Garage, just arrived with an old customer of theirs, Terry Seil, who is famous for promoting and losing the Minooka to Channahon sports car rally every year of its running. Steve Hadaway, Joyce Hawthorne, and Gordon Hutchinson, owners of the 3H Foundation Garments Company, are discussing current fashions with their two top models, Helen Gillan and Nancy Phillips. Kathy Fleming, who was voted the 4'Prettiest Gas Station Attendant of 1984 has just been rescued from the swimming pool by Dave Stafford, who is head counselor and life guard at Wally Kundert's Health Club. It seems Kathy lost her balance on the edge of the pool while twisting with the famous rock and roll singer Ralph Mundt. Kitten Thompson and Sharon McCoy have just returned in time for our reunion from their teaching assignments in Bongo Bongo Land, Outer Mongolia. Nationally known comedian, Greg Connor, is showing his gold record of imitations .of famous people to Margaret Satorius who in turn is showing Greg her Pultizer Prize award for her biography of Joan Frederick who has become famous for her abstract paintings. Daisy Rushing, a dedicated social worker, is talking to the former Sandy Randolph about turning one of her husband's farms into an underprivileged childrenis camp. Sue Stafford, Janet Kemp, and Diana Schuman, owners of the 3 Friends Fashion Shop have started a line at the buffet table. Wayne Greenback, owner of the Rahling Sporting Goods Co., is out on the lawn tossing a football around with Bill Wilhelmi, who is the feature water skier at Cypress Gardens. A wild toss just barely missed DeVonna Knudson who is now appearing at the Metropolitan Opera House in New York. DeVonna told us her flight was a little late arriving and that was why she was late getting here. Now, as everyone gathers around the buffet table, the talking and laughter blend together to convey a feeling of acomplishment, satisfaction, and a hope of even greater joys and re- ward. Sincerely, The Class of '63

Signed, Co-Executors- Gordon Hutchinson Sandy Randolph Seach: 'Wchzfafzq Just four years ago, fifty-three Freshmen began their high school careers in the halls of M.C.H.S. Our first year was filled with the excitement of having many different teachers and meeting the upper classmen. Our Sophomore year was kept busy by sponsoring school parties. Of all ou-r four years this was probably the most restful. By this time, we were well ac- quainted with everyoiie and some of our classmates had moved on to other schools, but their desks were quickly filled by new students. Although we had worked hard our first two years, our busiest year was our Junior year. This was the year that we had so many class meetings. These meetings were needed to select plassbrings, to prepare for the concession stand, to sell cards, to present the Junior play, and ast ut not least, to pick '5Wonderland By Niffllif, as the theme of our prom. In Selptember of IQ2, we embarked on oiir final year of high school. This year was high- lighted y Hillbilly eddin, our Senior play. The class enjoyed putting it on as much as thizggdifaice enjoyed viewing it. This year the girls did not have to help decimrate for the prom, M T MOMENTS, while their fingernails dried, and the boys didn't have to race to the florist five minutes before closing time. The Seniors sat back and relaxed while the Juniors presented us with the Banquet and Prom of H637 Now that these four years have presented themselves, we have all set higher goals. No longer will there be the same 8:30 A.lVI. to 3:30 P.lVI. schedule set up for us. Now is the time when we will take advantage of our class motto, The Longest Journey Begins With A Single Step.
