The tenth year reunion of the class of 1954 is being held at the Graden home on the Island of Oahu. Jim and Shirley are celebrating their tenth wedding anniversary, so this is a double celebration for them. As the strains of Aloha O are heard in the distance, Shirley and Jim begin to greet their guests. The first to arrive is Gary Kuchle. Gary now owns a rubber plantation in Brazil and keeps Breyley's supplied in tires. Frank Knezinek and the former Carole Stepp just arrived with their seven boys. It seems they couldn't find a babysitter! Seated at a large, well-decorated table on the patio, I see Warren Merkle, playboy, who just purchased his own golf course. He employs Mari- lyn Majer, who manages the refreshment booths. Boss Chuck Steinert is here with his crew of builders, consisting of Ed McHugh, Ron Nelsen, Don Kohler, and Emil Reljin. They have just completed building a new wing on N.R.H.S. which includes the long-awaited gym. Sitting with them is Art Tewksbury, now a counselor at a Boys' Camp. Grace Klunzinger is at the next table. She manages one of the many Woolworth Stores. Georgene Cifranic, Nancy Zackel, and Shirley Olsiski are three happy housewives who work part- time for her. Just arriving are John Muller and his wife Yetta, who own and manage their own catering service. It seems they are doing very well in New York. There is Marilyn Becker. She is busy these days giving skating lessons to youngsters, such as the Malecha twins and the four, freckle-faced Kortan children. Charlotte Jenks, of Hollywood, and Alice Heim a Broadway Star, are discussing their latest roles. They have both become famed actresses. As the guests continue to arrive, everyone is presented with a lei: and the party begins to be quite a gala affair. Sitting under a large palm tree are the Donnets and the Olsons. Adelene and Marlene are exchang- ing recipes, while Bill is telling Art details about his trucking line. Ron Judson joins them. Ron has much to add about his business, Jodsun Motors, Inc. It comes time for a little entertainment from a few of the talented among us. Shirley Telkins dances a can-can fwhich is quite strenuous for a private secretaryj. followed by Alan Novak who plays a selection on his Stradivarius. Bill Veverka has the class in stitches with his magical tricks. He made a mistake in trying to saw Lee Ann CLASS PMI!!-ICY Fechko in half. Nancy Sprague is next on the program. She is a tap-dance teacher who gives out with a few fast steps. Kalman Nagy has just let us in on a secret. In his garage he has a machine that will revolutionize the automobile industry. The un-veiling will be held soon, and I'm sure Vern Alflen will want to be there to get a few pictures. He is a photograph- er for Life magazine. A very complimentary remark was just made about Barry Slavin. They said he was the best' dressed man here, and he should be. He is affiliated with Slavin Tailors. Telling of their accomplishments now are Dick Schuster, who just recently invented a vaccine for potato bugs: Jim Cerasi, who just wrote a book entitled The Answer to the Kinsey Report : and Pat Olsen, who is an accomplished piano tuner. As I move on through the crowd, I hear Bob Ayars discussing the problems of a college basket- ball coach with Herb Crute, who is now with the F.B.I. Managers of Royalton's new Drive-In Theater, Howard Schuenaman and Matt Cheek, are trying to negotiate a loan from their old friend, Banker Howard Bowman. Eleanor Pasek is now one of the leading circus bareback riders. She is telling everyone how much she enjoys the carefree life. While some of the crowd are watching the hula dancers, others are listening to Peter Cib- ulskas as he tells about his career in photography. He now goes from door to door with his pony, taking snaps of Royalton's small fry. Two of the fellow graduates are now working for the Press. David Melcher writes a comic strip entitled Gertie the Gigglerf' and Francis Toman writes up the obituaries. Marilyn Aron, a tea-leaf reader, is predicting everyone's future. She has just told Anne Mc- Ilvaine that some day she will be a great artist. Right now, Anne paints by numbers. Larry Breyley's good looks have paid off very well in his job of modeling. You have probably seen his picture in all the leading magazines ad- vertising Arrow Shirts. Billie Newton is a taster in a Pepsi-Cola plant. Her job is just one burp after another! The last two to arrive at this gathering are Tom Kelleher, the moderator of T.V.'s Quiz Kid show, and Marilyn Powers. Marilyn is being true to her name, as she is one of the newest Powers' Models. As the sun sets on the sea casting soft shadows on the beach, everyone knew the time had come to say Farewell They gather in a circle to drink a toast of happiness, health, and continued good luck to all in the Class of 54.
