peladdpfzopftecq... It is the year 1961, and we now find New London, Ohio, one of the largest tele- vision centers of the world. The class of 1951 from New London High are very happy to be invited to appear on one of the programs which is on channel 113. .The object of this program is to see what happens to a graduate ten years after graduation. Let's look in to see what has happened to the class of 1951. .We find that Sterling Franklin is Editor of the New London Times, one of the largest newspapers in the city. 'Don johnson and Richard Weekley, who like to experiment with different things, have ,made a rocketship, and were last seen on a trip to the moon. Maybe they got there, who knows?

She is having a hardtime keeping bubble gum from her students, as their favorite pastime is throwing it on the ceiling. Nancy Herr is a kindergarten teacher in California, She thought she would teach' kindergarten so the students wouldn't know more than she.
