The weather is calm and it is a beautiful day, thanks to J. B. Rainstorm, our friendly weatherman. Everyone in the Class of 'h8 is here exc t D ep arrell A. Grundy, who has his orchestra featured at the Mocambo in Holly- wood, and was unable to attend. He did send a telegram, though, and wished everyone good luck in the future years. He also ex- pressed the wish that if an on ' ' , y e is near Hollywood, to drop in and listen to him and his nJive Five.n He and his Nhotn trumpet h . ave made him very popular along the West Coast. Most of the class had a long trip, but with the cars pow- ered b t ' y a omic energy and the rockets, which make them . S0 faster than sound, they were all here in pretty good time. As Miss Qleevar was o Cl , . . ur ass Advisor in 'h8, she has also come along to enjoy the reunion. She is still at Morrisonville teaching in the high school, and is still making friends among the students there b ' ' , eing liked by all. She has also agreed to -22-

tell us about the former class and what they are now doing. The first one she mentioned was Albert Miller. He was made president of Yale two years ago, and besides this, he has taken Mr. Einstein's job of directing Dr. Oppenheimer in fur- ther atomic power projects. Then she mentioned Ida Garrett, who got her man in l9h9. After nine years of marriage, Nelvin Sloman and Ida have five boys and one girl, which leads us to believe they will have the best basketball team and prettiest mascot this side of the Missi- ssippi. Nelvin is also the president of the Pickled Pickle Production Plant whose motto is Wwho has the pint of pickles Peter Piper picked.n By the way, anyone who can say the above in one second may apply for a job. After this came the story of Vonda Phelps who married Mr. Rexall, the owner of several drugstores throughout the nation. ' Mrs. Rexall has two sets of twins who help her in the drugstore they operate for the special use of the M.C.H.S. students. Nelda Harbert's ten years of life since she graduated was then discussed. She and Bernard Todt are now married and are managing a herd of sheep on their small twenty thousand acre ranch in Wyoming. They are well known for their new invention of spinning wool. Due to Nelda's experience as a twirler, she spins the wool in a new method as soon as it is being sheared from the sheep's back, saving a considerable amount of time. Then came Violet Paine. She now resides in Taylorville with her husband, Keith Clark. He is the vice-president of the Standard Oil Company. They live in the mansion that was for- merly owned by the Vandeveers. Violet is very seldom seen around these parts anymore because she has to attend Ladies' Aid and other different society meetings that occur. Our next subject was the famous inventor, Guy Virgil Oller. He is now living in New York in his apartment, the Waldorf-Astoria. He is well known for his new kind of compact. It is equipped with a small vacuum spray pump that helps the ladies put on their rouge and powder on Windy days. The famous singer, Earl Oyler, was our next talked about guest He is now the leading recording star at Decca Recording Studios. He has sung with all the leading nnameu bands, and is currently singing at the Mocambo in Hollywood with Darrell Grundy and his nJive Five.N ..23-
