SeuUns The graduating class of Morrisonville High of '52 are having their grand reunion this year at the Tepee Palace which was erected in 1955 by this class. It has been fifteen years since they graduated so let's take a peep and see if we recognize anyone. I see WESLEY SPENGLER. I bet everyone who is interested in sports listens to Wesley's sport news. I see he is trying to get in a good word about his program on the radio. He is the top announcer of sports in the United States atthe present time. We hope that he will stay up here on top of the list. There's famous stylistaf teen-age fashions. I wonder what she is doing here? Oh, yes, that's PAT VAN3EIS0N. All the young teen-age girls adore Pat's creations. No wonder, they are always so pretty and stylish. I bet you can guess who that is withthe black doctor bag. He was always a show-off in high school, and I see he still is. It's HOWARD REYNOLDS who is a doctor at Medicine Lake Hospital. That'3 an appropriate namel There's VARY WHALEN! She's home on vacation from the Pale Face Hospital where she is the staff nurse. Mary tells us that there is a good-looking doctor who would like to become acquainted, but you know how bashful Mary always was. Hi, Joyce. JOYCE WILSON is now a concert pianist, and the social circles are just clambering to see her concerts. Music has always been Joyce'8 great interest in life. Well, at least, her second greatest interest! There's EVELYN MYRICK. She's giving the girls the news about all those good-looking pilots she has met. Evelyn is an air-hostess. She is always uo in the clouds about some guy. Who's that fashion creation. It's MELBA TAYLOR. Melba is the number-one designer of woman's clothes. She's quite in demand by the fashionable women in America. She's wearing one of her creation to publisize her work. We saw KENNETH HANCOCK and his wife, Linda, next. Kenneth is now the owner of the Hawk Hotels which are known from coast to coast. Everyone, esoecially Linda, thinks he has been quite successful in his life. 22

Tes, it's PAT VOTA, who is now a shorthand reporter for the State Court. Who's that guy with the taxi-cab cap on?
