May 22, 198] Dear Diary: Here I sit, rockin' and rememberin'—Just thirty years ago tonight the Class of '51 were all perched up there on the gymnasium stage, perspiring in a genteel manner, as befitting HS graduates, and quaking in our caps and gowns—Kinda happy--and kinda sad—I wonder what has happened to all of us—I wish I could see them all again right here and now--Goodness! What is that soft, eerie music? Things seem to be growing hazy—I'm drifting away on a pink, fluffy cloud—How strange—Here we all are, back on the gymnasium stage—just like thirty years ago—Oh, a few extra pounds here and there—and not quite so many hairs to be counted on some of the heads, to be sure—but still all here—and all intact. . Now they pass in array before me—Wait until I get my notebook—OK, proceed. My, what a distinguished looking gentle man--and what a charming lady on his arm— TOM ELLIOTT, Dr. JOHN ELLIOTT, I’d have you know —and his very learned assistant chemist—NADINE RIKARD. They have made great strides in the field of science, and the development of jet propulsion. My! What a successful looking businessman--DAVE BERGER, to be sure! I always knew he had a good business head on his shoulders, as he has proven by becoming manager and part owner of NW's thriving Blue Bell Corporation. He tells us that he attributes much of his success to the lady with him, his secretary—Now--don't tell me—I have it—she is CATHERINE SNELLENBERGER, of course. I ask how old NWHS is coming along and — A dignified gentleman steps up and most emphatically informs me that NW now boasts a population of 25,000—Why, he's the mayer of NW—there's something about the way he quirks his eyebrow—EDDIE LIKENS—I scarcely recognized you without that nice short hair cut you always used to wear. You say there is now 23,000 in the school—Goodness! Imagine that many wiggling kids! Who do they find to keep them in line? —Here she comes—I'd know her anywhere!--JOY STUMP the brain of our class — and now principal of NWHS. What is that? Don't talk so fast, please. My shorthand is a mite rusty—Oh, you say, you could never manage the school without the help of the blackhaired girl with you? She's your office girl? She was selected Office Girl for 1980 by a national poll. Congratulations, NORMA WEIMER! We always knew you would go far! PHYLLIS CAMPBELL answers roll call to tell us that since graduating from Manchester College, she has been teaching readin’, writin’, and 'rithmetic to young hopeful students in NW grade school. LEONARD MAUZY, former four stripe man— is now NWHS coach. How does your record go, Sug? Seventeen wins, and no losses--Yea, rah, rah,! Team! This one some how makes me think of Florence Nightingale—Is that your name? No, it’s SHARON BECKLER, and I am proud to report that she has realized her ambition to become a nurse, and is now working at St. Joe Hospital in Fort Wayne. Here comes a most snappy uniform, and inside it is none other than HOWARD DUNKIN, owner of the Pure Oil Station in Warsaw, the largest garage in Northern Indiana. He is accompanied by MARYLIN DUNKIN, who presides behind his cash register. What a fashionable looking lady-—It's NANCE ERVIN, editor of the world’s largest fashion magazine, Fashion”. Her top artist is MARILYN DEITCH, also a former member of the class. RUTH ANN NINE, who graduated from Ihirdue, is now teaching Home Economics at Warsaw and loves it. I see a couple of charming ladies that seem to be in somewhat ot a hurry—There’s something familiar looking about those diamonds sparkling 19
