Oh- I see, you have to walk through the hall of famous toenail marks before you come to the dinning room. Oh well, here goes. Hmm' Nancy Wetherby, says here'she sold her cackle to 'Suspense'. And look here, Jackie Smith is runn- ing a successful business of designing clothes for tall girl fashions. This toeprint belongs to Janice Thurman, seems she is co-owner of Jan's and Jim's restrauant in Manchester. This is a funny looking one hm' Greg Windle, says he is now manufacturing hair dye. Oh no-here's one we all expected, Nancy Warner is canning beetles in strawberry jam up at Yspi institution. And this one, never would have thought it of Eileen Hess. They say that she is now lecturing on how to successfully get away with murder. Well la de da, what a class, I'll bet those teachers sure were sorry to see us go. Well, gosh sakes, here I find I am at a country farm. I see that Lorraine Jenson is at her favorite pastime, picking and filling horses teeth. Hmm' see a poster advertising Dolores Jones's Hill-Billy Orchertra. And what's this--says that our boy Herb Howard is now raising little bees!!! Oh yes, see that person sitting on the ground over there, that- 's Joan Fischmeister, she's just sitting at home raising her nine man baseball team, called Don's Daredevils. Well gosh oh gee, here we are, the class of '5h, Take us or leave us we're still the same as ever. 176711 To fortune and fame and a brilliant success. Thanks to the training from dear N.H.S.

has Ah, the class of l9Sh, a what of ten years hence? I theneoeeeI Wisheoooel wisheooo Suddenly I may as look who's coming d it's l96h and here I well look up Jeffery close knit group I admit, but wish I knew what we'd be doing QI WiSheooeoHey, what's this? am. Well, as long as I'm here gang. Well, for heaven sakes, own the street. It's Byron Antcllff the old ringing all our doorbells for taxes. Well, it certainly is good to see an old friend again. We talked about our high school days for awhile and he told me that Gordon Bernstein is teaching a driving training course at good old Napoleon High School. Not only that, but Beverly Blakeman is running a taxi service for males only. Strolling on down the street we came upon the dog kennel where Dean Fowler is raising his own hotdogs. How good it seems to talk about the class a gain. We thought of Donna Clemons who is hunting tigers in Africa, and of Donna of German mbusetraps hear Duane Cowgill is pick up a newspaper the tri-state marble t Clevenger, a New York wholesale buyer . Since he is a famous movie star, we really giving the starlets a line. I and see that Jack Dean, Ypsi coach of eam, has won a new Championship. I hear many of our classmates have found careers far away. Nancy Fish, for instance, is hair ribbon counselorf'or Es- kimos. Carol Flint took to the deep sea and is diving for crackers, and Dave Hudson is surf-riding in Flordia, posing for tooth paste ads. Dale Heselschwerdt is teaching the Mexicans how to raise thoroughbreds. Dick Lingard is trea- surer of the swimmers club in Iceland and Myron Peters is a famous New York, columnist., Dear me. how the kids have sca- ttered. Some of them are really famous, like: Robert Jones, who was recently elected Senator of the ant hills of Napole- on, Mary Jo Ray, who has just had a book on grasshoppers published, Dick Lashley, Jerry Lewis's understudy, recently ran him out of business and now has all his television shows and, Joy Lynne Horsfall, who was the recent queen of popcorn balls. Oh yes, we can't forget Joan Gier, who you can see, if you.just look up, flying the non-stop flight between the North Pole and the South Pole. Well we certainly do have a varity here in this class of 1955. Must be the teachers worked extra hard on this class! As you look over the roll book of inventions, you will see that the class of 'Sh also contributed their share to this. Duane Lantis has originat- ed a new method for pickling pigs' feet, while Howard Meeks has invented a non-glare watermelon cooning flashlight. Only two of the class went into professions, and that is Margaret Hagaman, who is clipping toenails in the State Pen- itentiary and Jerry Hartley, who is now mortician of the Hot Rodders Association. Gosh, oh gee ,I sure have missed these kids. Gracious sakes, I thumb through the log book at the airport and look what I find: Shirley Mangus flew to New York to sing in the Grand Opera fit is rumored that she lost her voice-poor soulb, Bonnie Hansard went to Flordia to hunt big game. My gosh-what's this? Must be some crazy flyer. Oh I see-it's Shirley Maule in her little plane mak- ing the sky as dangerous as she did the highways. And look at that would you-there's Ray Maule hanging on the tail .46..
