f Q iii 'I K? I finished my home work, put my books away and tip-toed into the nursery to look at little Jimmy Brown, with whom I was baby sitting. He was fast asleep and with my home work finished I had two hours with nothing to do but wait till the Browns returned. I walked back to the living room, sat down, and picked up a magazine. The clock chimed and as I looked at my watch it was only 9:30. It had been snowing when I came in but now it had stopped and the house was cozy and warm. As I turned the pages of the magazine, the pictures reminded me of the Senior Class of 1952, and the prospects of their future. I felt myself getting drowsey. Far off, I could hear the crackle of the flames in the fire place, the whistling of the wind, and the soft tick of the clock. Before I realized it, I found myself standing on the steps of the town hall of New Salisbury. My, but the town had grown since I was here last! An inner force directed me inside and before me was the door to the mayor's office: I open- ed the door and to my great surprise, I found Jerry Montgomery as mayor. After conversing for a while, I asked Jerry about the Senior Class of 52, and to my surprise I learned that many of them lived right here in New Salisbury. Bob Deaton was the owner of New Salisbury's one and only airport, and his most re- liable pilots were Eugene Arbuckle and Bob Smith. Bob and Eugene received their Atraining in the Air Force. ' Crystal Colin, now Mrs. Buddy Bosler, lives here too. Three of her children attend the New Central School Corporation where Keith Gettelfinger is principal. Keith also owns a large dairy farm about 2 miles from Ramsey, Indiana. Janice Vaughn and her husband own a drive-in restauranizin New Salisbury. And while Jan1ce's children are in school, she works part time, in the First National Bank and Trust Company of New Salisbury. I left New Salisbury and took a plane to Louisville, Kentucky and much to my surprise I found Gerald Troncin working in the weather bureau at the'airport. He told me about Isabelle Davis and Elnora Polen who entered the medical profession, and he took me to Davis Hospital, founded by Isabelle. Isabelle was on leave of absence attending a medical convention in Paris, France. She had an idea that through research we could have a microscopic view of mental intellects. Although Isabelle wasn'tQhere, we talked to Elnora who was Superior Nurse in charge during Isabelle's absence. Elnora invited us to go with her to the New Henry Clay Hotel where Ray Yenawinetand his famous Mid-Western Band' were appearing, Appearing as soloist with Ray was none other than Paul Burnett. Paul's singing teacher was Martha Sue Sappenfield who now teaches music and physical education at the Central School Corporation. She is married now and living at Ramsey with her husband and small son Gordon. Before leaving Louisville, we went by Robert Erb's chewing gum factory. Bob revolutionized the chewing gum industry by introducing a new flavor called tuna frutt1 . While in Louisville, Ihought a copy of Dorothy Gehrlg's newest novel nTomorrow is Forever . Dorothy became quite famous as an .outstanding author 8-ftel' high-8011001 and this was her 23rd novel. Tomorrow is Forever is dedicated to her twin daugh- ters, Carolyn and Evelyn.
