All of our experiences through high school have been worth while. We can look for- ward to an even footing when we go on out into the world with the high school education and experiences that we acquired. USES MUPHECEI When I got out of high school, I went to col- lege to become a teacher. After I got my training and taught for several years, then and only then could I afford to subscribe to the Standard. It had been several years since I had heard much from my old classmates. I was a little 'sur- prised when I received my first Daily Standard, for the new editor was 'Elden Houts. I really shouldn't have been surprised, because I had heard'he went to Capitol University to take up journalism. The following editions were just as interesting because I read of many of my classmates and teach- ers. In the want ads one time I saw: nwanted--Dish washer. Apply at Lois Baer's Service Station, form- erly Carl Wright's Service Station. Picking up the paper one day, I was surprised and alarmed to see that they were building a new school building in Nep. It seems that there was an explosion during physics class that was rather hard on the old building. What really slayed me was that Dean Lewis, who had gone to college to take up en- gineering, was now heading the company that was building the new school. In that same issue I road of the Michael's sta- bles. I read further, and sure enough Waneta Mich- aels, another classmate, was running a riding club. I must get back to Nep and take a ride, Quite some time later I read of the opening of a Junior Carnegie Hall right in the middle of good old Nep. I was greatly pleased when I saw that the opening night featured Mqdame Dorthea Wurstaro--of course that had to be Dorthy Wurster, another class- mate.' She had really made good use of her fine voice. . ,l

The heading was: mSweigarts' Cele- brate Anniversary.N As I read further, I found that Jack and Ellen had had a big party given in honor of their tenth wedding anniversary. After reading all this, I get to thinking, I had read of all my old classmates but one. Ted Ballinger was missing from the list. But one day I saw an interesting article titled, nMillionaire Playboy From Texas Weds.n It seems that Ted had done quite well in the oil fields, and had finally found himself a girl. Much to my dismay, the arti- cle didn't give the girl's name. That was one slip- up on the part of the editor. A few days later an article got me to thinking about my former teachers. The article was: nDr, Rahmann and his high-school chorus win fame.n They had put on a performance in Junior Carnegie Hall, and the crowd went wild. It was really something to hear, as it had been from the start, On the sports page I saw: nNeptune Dirty Soxs Race to Victory.n That stunned meg but when I saw that Mr. Jackson was still their coach, I could easily see that it was just natural that Nep should beat Mendon Sh-1 in a baseball game. The prize of the papers was the one that told of a candy-kitchen being established just outside of Nep. Miss Bair and Miss Yewey had retired from teaching, but just weren't content to sit, so they started a candy making business. I hope they send me some of it. I only received the Standard for a week after that. My subscription ran out, and my salary didn't permit me to re-subscribe. Oh, well, I didn't care too much, I at least knew where my old classmates and teachers were and what they were doing. ---Dorothy E.
