Ciail LPXotlfl£.Cij — As we tour the large cities of the United States, we find our class of 44 rating high in social and political functions. At one of the large Naval Bases in the east, we find Admiral and Mrs. Dean Heistand (nee Agnes Dunkel), up to their necks in military responsibilities. When 1 inquired of Agnes concerning the where abouts of June Axe and Melva Berry, we learned they are in Belgium Congo making serum to relieve flea bites. Since Dean and Tom's Navy career didn't work out. we find them now managing a dude ranch in Texas. Their wives. Lonella and Hattie. (Tom's wife, who he met when he was a sailor), inform us that they have quite a time controlling their men when the glamour gals visit their ranch. Swell life work you boys picked out. Well of all people! We meet Mrs. George Nemith (nee Virginia Renick) in Ohio. They own the No-Dope Drug store. She is now chief soda jerker. Mary has made her home and millions and is now retired in Seattle. She met her husband who was an engineer at Boeing Air Craft, in the summer of '44. Mr. and Mrs. Miles Hartwell (nee Martha Evans) are running a summer resort at Colorado Springs. They enjoy it very much when some of the old class mates of 44 come down to spend their vacations. Barbara Barklow is now the private secretary for Eugene Moon, who is president of Moon's Hardware and Furniture, Inc., at Los Angeles. Zelma Young and Eileen Roberts are proprietors of the Egyptian Veil Hat shops internationally known for high quality snoods. Ann Weekly is now living at Bakersfield. Calif. She and her husband have purchased a 3,000-acre cattle ranch in Hawaii. They plan to move there soon. Dette Pendleton runs her beauty salon at Ashland, and is making all of her old Ashland friends beautiful. Gene Evans is now operating taxi service between Portland and San Francisco, making four trips daily with his P-38 passenger plane. Dwain Miller and John McWilliams are assisting him. Gene Hansen is operating his 2.000-acre dairy farm with case. 1 his age of electricity is really wonderful. The Bobcat I 4 4 4
