Senior Drophzcg While doing the spring house cleaning, I came across the l953 Memories which I had put away almost ten years ago. The book fell open and Bill Van Zoest's likness stared up at me. 1 have often wondered what happened to him, I thought. I remembered his saying once that he was going to be a farmer. I'll bet that Carol Buurma knows what he is doing. I am pretty sure that shevvrltes the Celeryville news for the Willard Times. I think that I'll call her now. I hope she 1sn't specialing a patient at the hospital today. She must have been working, because no one answered the phone. I decided to call Kathleen instead. Kathleen was at home, and she invited me to her home in Celeryvllle. While we were drinking coffee and discussing NMemoriesu, Carol Fink walked in. Since she and Kathleen were secretary and treasurer respectively of the Golden Rule, they had business to complete. Carol is happily married to Jack Shaarda and has a darling little boy and girl. As I was leaving the house, Esther came running up the walk waving a letter she had received asking her to play at a concert in Carnegie Hall. While talking with Esther, I was surprised to hear that Joyce Black had finally settled down and has three children. After talking to Esther, I decided it was really time to go home because I was having dinner guests. When I arrived home, my dinner guests Ruth Buurma and Olivia Lykins, had arrived. Talking with them, I found that Ruth had been working at the Childrens Hospital in Elyria for the past five years. Olivia told us that she is married and is living in Attica. Last but not least, I found that Gilbert is the head mechanic at General Motors.
