M 0l9A8Cy .4 .ln 1 il - ik The year--l957.' The scene-a remodeled Beauty Bar operated by Joan Taylor and Norma Smith. The motto ot this establishment is, 'fWe Make Ugly Women Merely Homelyf' As I entered the shop the girls didnit recognize me. After giving me the once over, we fell to the discus- sion of our old classmates and what each was doing. We find that Dorothy Riley reached her aim as a successful band leader and is now doing a one-night stand at the Rush Inn, Stagger Out hotel run by Richard Whipple. And what do we hear on the back row? It's none other than Richard Rogers beating on the skins. After winning a contest between some unknown drummer, by the name of Krug? he was pronounced the No. 1 drummer of the year. On the road .to ughesville their tell me Jackie Bennett, now Mrs. Pat Haines, is living on a farm where she has been raising monkeys. ju ging by ,her records more peo le buy monkeys than one would realize. This lgas developed quite a feud between the Haines and joneses, as iewis Jones is a well-known rabbit breeder in tus vicinity. Mary Barbour is practicing all the things Miss Long taught her, on her unfortunate husband, Tom Heilman, who owns the largest farm in these parts. Up the street we find Rena Houseknecht has a small business of her own. She specializes in making fat people plump and thin peo le skinny. Since Mrs. Poust retired, from school work we find Phyllis Balliet taking over the office. Everyone is hoping she fills the position as well as the former did. hBen Sevison is now running a silk mill of his own and takes pride in being the fastest loom jazzer in I C state. Muncy takes pride in sending to the Olympic Races the two outstanding track men, Brady Lowe and George Lightning Covert. This race is to determine the champion runner of the world. Another happily married couple of our class is Gladys Ellis and Harold Drick. She spends the greater part of hier time gollowing Harold around the country, in his never tiring effort to break Joey Chitwoodls out- stan ing recor s. I was surprised to learn that Robert Butch', Balliet has recently become engaged to something besides the poolroom. We all knew those trips to Montoursville would blossom some day. Charles O,Conner is now one of the big owners of American Chain Stores. Dorothey Drick, who has been studying dramatics for the last ten years, has finally landed a part in that Broadway show, 'SAway With the Breeze, which is a continuation of the once popular Gone With the Wind. K-lBiIll :leader ,and Donald Tut Heincelman have taken over the poolroom and are using as their slogan, ' a e t asy. We find Florence Rishel and Arlene Rosenbaum happily married and living in Hughesville. After all their school spirit, their children will play against their old t'A.w.x Mater. Our ittle town of Muncy seems to be up in the poi 'al world with Ruth Sasso, famous for her oratorical Bowergsgained by her arguments in P.D. She is rumors. to be a natural for the first woman president of the nite tates. We were interrupted in this discussion by the entry of Mary Jane Moran, now Mrs. Mark Feigles, who was delivering the milk at the shop as the girls were too busy to stop for lunch. She tells us that they are doing a. booming business since the cow strike' has been settled. Continuing our discussion, I learned that Lois Lee, after frequently making trips to Mexico and India hunt- ing for that lost gold mine, has finally settled down with Johnny Sasso. The poor boy only waited ten years. And who do we find working in the K'High-Hattersi' club in New York? Yes, it's our own little Joan Hitesman. After giving up her chase for Lewis Soars, she again set her sail toward her childhood ambition of being a cigarette gir . Down on the road to White Deer Valley, we see none other than Austin Artley and Weldon Fausey setting up their own school of teaching boys 'Khow to work a farm without working yourselff' Stella Fry is right next to these boys with her home cooking based on Miss Long's recipes. Bring your own bicarbonate. Delfred Holmes has his own broadcasting station. His program consists of household hints to farmers-how to kee chickens behind the stove-pigs in the parlor-and count eggs by two. Line of our classmates who hasn't been seen much lately is Martha Feigles. It has been rumored that she ran away to marry her sweetheart in the service. After many years of thought Dick Nuss has finally started a Bacheloris Home. That triangle of girls at last got him down and rather than disappoint two of them, he broke all three of their hearts. Since things got a little warm around here for Madeline Booth, she has gone to Alaska to cool off. John Coppes, after years of persuasion, has bought out Elmer Barbour's store. His slogan is, 'KWe Sell Everything From Eggs To Corsets. Remember Betty McManigal? She is now the nation's No. 1 Powers model. She had stiff competition from one of Daleis old girl friends, but came out on top like a true Venus of Modern Times. Down in the most remote part of Australia we find that Alice Derr and Emma Kahler are married and on their own at last, D n n A Dick Garnhart is captain of the All-American Tiddlyw1nk team. His only hint to competitors is, Keep your hands in shape. Norma said she ran into Betty Bellak the other day and found that she married some Swiss clockmaker. It seems she got a little mixed up in her countries when she went abroad. Anyway, she said everything is ticking fine now. She reported that Rae Ona App is doing landscape work in the Bald Eagle Mountains. Harvey Myers is head waiter at the Greasy Spoon Drive Inn, where he can hardly wait for guests to get inside so he can relate his latest story of Back in God's Country -Muncy, that is. Louis Bogart has written a play, UThe Ride of Paul Revere, or Who Went There? We are told it has topped all sales. Q - U A . U h Lharlotte Weaver is a well-known voice culturlst. She specializes in teaching her students radio commercials. We notired in the New Lfgminary that Maurice Bieber is giving muscle-building courses. He has been world- acclaimed as a second Arle 'hatles. Elinor Hicks is the juice-harp soloist in 'fPeter 81 Repeats Orchestra, head every Saturday night over T. I. T. O. tWhen translated means Tune In, Tune OHYUJ Robert Myers owns a little 'fFlower Shopi' next to 'fTut and 'fCoon,s poolroom. We are told the smells don't blend so favorably. Eleanor Waldron is his private secretary. Evelyn Schaeffer and Imogene Bankes have taken over the Wire Rope in Angletown. We find Bruce Sones and Gloria have settled down in Turbotville and are running a crocodile. I see my time is running short and I have a rocket to catch, but come and visit me. I live on Riverside Drive, N. Y. It has been fun reminiscing. 0 I 0 I 9 , I , 0 A 0 0 4 ' N' 5 w Q S .1 , - I ' 4 I ,' 5 pf?

gfcwd .Mdfory Punching the first eyelet in our new shoe in 1935 we served the first step of our apprenticeship under Miss Koons, Miss Minsker, and Mrs. Dice. John Coppes added to the merriment of the year by pull- ing a chair out from under Betty jane Baker and had to sit in a corner awhile. We ended this year by scrubbing furniture and then having a party. In the attempt to punch our second eyelet we had Miss Dunlap, now Mrs. Hartman, Mrs. Goodenow, and Mrs. Kschinka as our instructors. This year joan Hitesman lost her hat in a snowball battle. We left second grade in a cloud of dust created by Mary jane Moran and her classmates partaking in a sand battle. Our third year found us with Miss Dewald QMrs. Elderj, and Miss Stahl fMrs. Stahll, leading us. This year, Mary Barbour, among others received a ruler on her dainty little hands administered by Miss Dewald. Jack Schoch and Joanne Taylor being scientifically-minded wanted to see what made a gold- fish tick, and they found out that a goldfish will not tick unless in water. We climbed the steps to fourth grade this year to be greeted by Miss Hafer fMrs. Schochj, and Miss Berriman now Mrs. Fry. This year proved to be less eventful except for Miss Berriman pulling the hair of some pupils and Delfred Holmes being sent home all the time for his glasses. Beginning our fifth year, we found the ejelets becoming harder to punch. Miss Brelsford Qlvlrs. Grahml, and Miss Waltman fMrs. Voneidaj, led us through the year. Dot Riley entertained us this year with her melodic voice. Sixth grade found us under the leadership of Miss Waldron and Mrs. Ksehinka. We were joined this year by the Barlows-English refugees. Brian was fascinated by what he thought to be peculiar window shades. Betty McManigal and Benton Sevi- son made news this year with Ben completely cap- turing Phyllis Balliet's heart and Betty continuously biting her fingernails. The seventh year of our apprenticeship found us going downstairs to a new and different routine with Miss Waldron and Mrs. Arthur as our leaders. Gladys Ellis and Kenneth Harrison had their love affair interrupted when Mrs. Houseknecht intercepted one of their many notes. The instructors for our eighth year of apprentice- ship were too numerous to be correctly remembered. This year jane Bergquist added to the intelligence of the class and Arlene Grove and Betty Lou Boyer to the merriment. The atmosphere was sweetened when someone, unknown to the rest of the class, emptied a bottle of very expensive 1Oc a bottle Blue Waltz perfume down the ventilator. After punching the ninth eyelet our shoe begins to take on a better appearance. This year Mr. Girven and Mrs. Latshaw at the beginning of the year and Mrs. Rogers at the end, led us through a very eventful year. At the commencement exercises the essay award was presented to Gladys Ellis, the poetry awards to Dorothy Drick and Richard Rogers, and the American Legion awards to Joanne Taylor and Richard Nuss. Our tenth year found us nearing the end of our appenticeship under the skilled leadership of Mr. Grist and Mr. Musial. Almost every Sunday after- noon you could see students of Mr. Musial's biology class out looking for seeds although very few were gathered. The second year algebra class seemed to have great difficulty but managed to get along with Mr. Crist's able assistance. Beginning our eleventh year we were under the instruction of Mrs. Martin and Mr. Myers. This year Bookkeeping, Physics, and Plane Geometry added to the troubles of many. Many of the girls namely: Arlene Rosenbaum, Alice Derr, Martha Feigles, Eleanor Waldron, and Emma Kahler de- cided to add to the industriousness of the class and work at Weldon's. We ended the year with stand- ardized tests. The twelfth year found us under the leadership of Mr. Myers and Mrs. Engelhardt. Much time was spent on the editions of the Scoop and the Yearbook. A class party was held at Tom Heilman's and a good time was had by all. And having had our shoe polished as much as possible by the teachers Cwho, incidentally, developed a good sole lclass soulj on our shoel, our shoe is ready to be laced for us to start out on the sidewalks of the world.
