Dorothy fSelkingy would be unable to attend since she was on her honeymoon in Bermuda. ,Of course, I knew that she had been a private secre- tary in a swank office, but the fact that she had hooked her rich boss was news. By the time we were just getting started Qas far as the latest gossip goesj, we were at the estate. I stepped out first, and was greeted by a spacious, rambling view of a lovely home. Kathleen opened the door to us and escorted us into the plush foyer. In the sun-lit patio, things seemed to be going at a great pace. The supposedly dignified presi- dent of The First State Bank of Decatur, Don Gerke, was trying to prove his manlyness by doing push- ups to the amusement of everyone present. When he arose though, I could see that he looked quite different from what I remembered, with his little goatee, bifocals, and suave grey flannel suit. I couldn't mistake the mischievous gleam in his eye from the old Don thatI had known so long ago, though. Sitting very sedately in the corner were all the settled, married couples of our class: Katy and Ed Ritter, Don and Virginia Gallmeyer, Marlene and Frank Bittner, Jane and Cleo Landis, Juanita and Dean Titus, Paul Fuhrman fwho was star play- er for the Pistonsj and Joyce. Nola Isch was there too with her five little red-headed boys, who were cute, but ornerier than dirt! Fred would have liked to have come too, but since he was now the fear- less' Sheriff of the county, he was always chasing down law-breakers. I was so very glad to see therr all, thatl could have cried with joy! Arno Girod spoke to me, and informed me that he is now Agriculture teacher at Monmouth following Mr. Meier's retirement. We were glad to hear he is filling our sponsor's shoes very well. I walked into the ultra modern kitchen and bumped into a sun-tanned gal looking like a million dollars. Why it was Delores fGallmeyerj who had journeyed to Hawaii years ago and had stayed there to marry and make her permanent home there. She said she enjoyed Hawaii immensely. Delores had been talking to Elaine Blakey fnow Thiemej and Delores fBleekej before I rushed in. Elaine and Delores had both married local boys and were now busy helping Kathleen keep this hun- gry mob full of delicious food. Of course, I stuffed myself with pickles and olives before stepping back into the patio. I never could resist them. 1 turned to Betty Andrews and asked if there were any others who had not arrived yet. She in- formed me that Barbara Lewton would soon be here after her flight from Paris. Barbara was now a budding, young artist in Paris, and was engaged to a young prince. I could hardly believe this, but when Barbara arrived we all floored her with ques- tions, andI was no longer doubting. Gee, Barb looked very chic indeed. Gail Gerke arrived then with his very lovely wife. Would you believe that Gail is now a professor at Indiana University! It took him ten years to get through college himself, but now he is right up there at the top. Later, Mildred Williams and Laura Witte arrived, looking very happy but slightly bewildered. they own one of the largest restaurants in Fort Wayne and are doing a thriving business. They were a little skeptical about stopping business, but they said they just couldn't miss this chance to see the old gang. After everyone was becoming drowsy, Evelyn fBeinekej sat down at the piano to entertain us with some piano selections. She looked very happy des- pite the fact that the reunion cut short her honey- moon. She surprised everyone by eloping with a Fuller Brush man recently. THE THREE STEPS sang us their new song, titled, Desperately. We all re- called the wonderful job they did between acts of our Senior Play, and now, Marva Schaefer, Alice Kukelhan, and Shirley Fuhrman were just signed by a recording company and were going to play their first engagement at the Flamingo in Las Vegas the following week. The success had not gone to their head though for they still acted as zany and natural as ever. After having such a swell time and renewing all my old acquaintances, I was sorry to have to leave on Monday. All the gang acted the same way - just plain WONDERFUL. Kathleen bid me good-bye at the door, and said, Audrey, hurry back soon. I told her that I hadn't fully realized how much I had missed all the old Class of '55 untill saw all their friendly faces again. I told her that my job in New York was all I ever dreamed of, but that I would be back soon - very, very soon. Sponsored by: BURK ELEVATOR and DEAN'S BODY SHOP
