THE CLASS OF '55 AS SEEN IN '65 Here it is, 1965, and the class reunion and dinner we had planned at graduation has arrived. We had just finished the decorating when the former Pauline Freehl- ing and her husband Tom arrived. They had just come back from their gorilla- hunting expedition to Africa -- we hope they had a nice trip. Next to arrive was that fearless, world-faznous lion trainer, Eddie Mensinger. Right after Ed came Joyce Sorgetg she is now the head matron of a reform school in Rhode Island. Ron Schuch just drove up in his 1965 Cadillac, he is now a great television an- nouncer -- it seems he ran Marty Faye out of business. Now that everyone has arrived let us go and find out what the rest of the Class of '55 are now doing. Shirley Lane and Nancy Weaver came all the way from North Carolina, where they have their own tobacco farm. Delores Dinges now runs a style shop, and husband Gene J olmson has his own shoe factory so that he won't have so much trouble obtaining size 14 shoes. Jim Richardson and Fred Briggs have a contract for redesigning Studebaker's automobiles -- have you seen the longer, wider, more expensive model? The new art instructor at the New Troy University is none other than Pat Ainsworth. Kay Skinner ma.rried someone named Jim, they are now in the process of raising their own football team, eleven boys -- Kay seems to have forgotten that they're cheaper by the dozen. The former Janet Pazder and husband Bill Baney flew in from the upper peninsula. When he is not chasing butterflies for the Sawyer National Museum, Bill manages a resort in upper Michigan. What's this? Barbara Krieger, named Miss Lonely Heart of 1965, drove down from the mammoth city of Bridgman to join the party. At the same table as Barb we see Dick Ryden and Caryle Anderson, the skating team of Ryden and Ryden, who have come from Chicago, where they are performing in the Ice Capades. Next to them we see Bert Swanson, the great wrestler known the world over as the Dirty Bird! Standing by the punch bowl with Gene Johnson we see Bob Woodrick, who now owns a mule farm in Texas -- his Ford just wasn't fast enough. Virginia Hauch and her husband, Don, drove up all the way from Arkansas. Virginia is a model for the FARMER'S GAZETTE. Jon Haman, who is well-known as an excellent photographer, has been taking pictures of our re- union all evening -- except when he joins Gene and Bob at the punch bowl. We had hoped that he would take moving pictures, but he left his movie camera in his customized '65 Ford station wagon. The food for the dinner will be provided by some of our former classmates. The former Mary Wharton and her husband, who live on a potato farm, were only happy to furnish us with potatoes. The fine fish we are having was provided by the one and only Louie's Fish Market -- Lou Golob, that is. The milk was pro- vided by Rich Haroff, who owns a huge dairy farm on the outskirts of the city of Glendora. To make the meal complete, we will finish with watermelons from Ed Forrester's farm, in Arkansas. After-dinner entertainment will be furnished by the famous Paris Can- Can land they surely canj dancers. They are Lois Rakow, Jean Benke, Ruth Hildebrant, Pat Ackerman, Mary Ann Korbelic, and Elaine Wallenberg. They will be accompanied by Janice Saurbier's all boy orchestra. Now that we have seen and talked to everyone, let's get on withthat dinner we have been talking about and waiting for. Our program chairman, Marlene Bross, is getting impatient.
