In 1965 we took off for a little trip to see if we could find the graduates of our hiph school class of ”55 . In our home town we found the fomer Marlene Eeirne as a busy country housewife. We also found Rudolph Shady busy writing another book. And here was Robert Dennett running a very successful farm. Our next stop was Milwaukee, and here we read in a paper that Richard Collien was now playing baseball with the braves. Moving on, we went to Chicago and we learned that Donald Gregory was a very well-known cartoonist. In New York while walking down the street we met a very sophisticated woman. To our surprise, it was the former Beverly Schrank. After having quite a talk with Beverly, we learned that Delores Stenz was a successful teacher in one of New Yorks big h'rh schools. V.'e slso found Bill Conrad a very well-known lawyer busy on one of his latest cases.We then moved on down to Florida,and in Miami we found Edward Michaels Judging a beauty contest. The winner was none other than the former Geraldine Sperper. Edward told us that he had read in a newspaper that Rhoda Grace was on the nursing staff at a hospital in New Orleans, Louisiana. So, our next stop was New Orleans. From Rhoda, we learned that Helen Grace was in Houston, Texas, working as a chemist for the Texas Company. We now moved on to Salt Lake City, Utah, where we ran into Robert Franke working on one of the hot rods for the next race on the Salt Flats. Having no Idea where the rest of our class was located we decided to take in the beautiful sights of Hollywood. We were off for California. While walking down Vine Street, in Hollywood, we read a movie advertisement. Here to our surprise, was Donald Collien playing the lead in one of the years great movies. After looking Lon up, we learned that Lorer.a Schmidt was teaching at the University of Southern California, and that Corinne Gelhar was the private secretary for a big executive in a San Francisco office. Not having much time left to hunt up the rest of our class we decided to head homeward. Our last night, before coming home, we spent in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Not having much to do we decided to go to a professional basketball game. Here we found Roger bloohm playing oasketball, triping the scoreboard for many points.
