Back into the taxi once more and now for the Opera house. The curtain is now going up, all is quiet, waiting for the grand opening of a new opera. We take our seats down front where we can see and hear. Well, lo! and behold! look who is coming on the stage. We recognized the young lady to be Louise Diehl. We went back stage to see Louise after the play. She said she had not married as yet, but there was a gleam in her eye, and in the doorway stood Everett Ebinger waiting for her. While talking with Louise and Everett we learned that Earl Bauer also a graduate of 1949 had become nationally famous for growing the tallest stalks and longest ears of corn in Ohio. Earl and his sons manage their five hundred acre farm, north of New Haven beautifully. Everett also said that another school churn of ours had recently been employed at the Centour Tractor Company at Greenwich. We were all curious to know who it was. We found out it was Carl DeWitt. Carl and his family are residing at 33 North Street in Greenwich, Ohio. Upon leaving the opera and going back to our hotel room, Roberta and I still as curious as ever, asked Janice how she was making out in married life, for Janice is no longer Miss Atyeo, now she is Mrs. Gale Penwell. Janice said they are still living in Elyria where Gale is employed at Elyria Auto Parts. Talking Roberta into spending the night with us at our hotel was not an easy task, but at last we succeeded and were on our way once more. Walking into the lobby of the hotel we saw quite a large congregation of men. The bell hop told us that the President of the Silver King Company was present. We knew then that we would see another classmate of ours, Donald Risner, by name. The last we heard was that he had taken over the duties of the Vice-President in the Silver King business, so we looked forward to the meeting. Following this meeting we learned from the above mentioned friend of ours, that Mrs. Jack Austin who formerly was the Iva Jean Stevens, is now the mother of her third child at the Norwalk Hospital, the baby has been named Angel, besides her housework I am told she is at present the head boss at the personnel office at the Norwalk Truck Line.

' PROPHECY As we were lunching in the Mills Restaurant at Columbus, who should we see at the next table but Roberta Brill a former classmate of ours. Roberta joined us and we began talking of our high school days, and what had happened to everyone since graduating. Roberta then told us she had gone be- yond her wildest dream and had become music professor at Capital University She also told me about her cousin and our classmate Duane Slessman. It seems that Duane is now living on a farm south of Attica. Alone ? ? ? ? ? Of course not. He has married his high school sweetheart, Dorothy Marshall, and they are living happily with their four sons. Just then we heard someone say lawyer and it brought to our mind none other than Jordon Holthouse the roustabout of our class. It seems .T ordon had started out to be a minister but ended his college career by becoming a professional Lying Lawyer. The waiter then served the cream puffs for which we had been patiently waiting. We talked of how delicious they were and then we were told that they had been made by the famous cream puff maker, none other than Mrs. Roger Van Dyke. Mrs. Van Dyke is better known as Dora Buurma to us. . After finishing our lunch we took a taxi to tour the city. While riding about we saw a large store that reminded us of the Moore Super Market in our home town. The proprietor of the market is also one of our chums, Evelyn Newmeyer. The question of help is no problem to Evelyn and her husband as they have plenty of help with their five children. We thought we would like to see the airport, so that is where we went next. Who should we see coming toward us but, wait let's look again to make sure, yes, it really is Gerald Shirey. He told us that upon graduating he went to California to Aeronautical School, where he became quite famous for finding the shortest distance to Mars. He is now head man at the Air School in Colurnbus. We also learned from Gerald that Erve Sharpless had joined his brother in the Army Air Force and now has been commissioned a Lieutenant. He is stationed at a large army air base in China. Erve as usual is still getting along with the girls. Zl
