In 1966 we decided to take a trip tc see If we could find our 1956 graduates of Oakfield High School. Near our home town we found the former Bernadine Thill as a busy housewife raising little sweet peas. Driving past an up-to-date farm near LeRoy, we saw HelenCRuh-land) Bauer working in her vegetable garden. We also found Robert Grainger as Oakfield s town constable, catching the teen-age drivers going through the main street stop-signs. Next we decided to go to Milwaukee and see a Braves baseball game. Much to our surprise we found that Lavina Makus was Eddie Mathew’s personal bat girl. While we were sitting in our seats, we happened to look around and saw Judy Willie sitting a few seats away and upon talking to her, we learned that she was stenographer for Jimmy Nolan, who owns Nolan's Manufacturing Company. From Judy, we also learn that Dolores Schar-achmidt is private secretary for the Suppa Corporation in NewArsey. On the way back to our hotel, we picked up a newspaper and on the first page we found a picture of Marlene Pipping, now a famous opera singer at the Metropolitan Opera House with Wayne Bennett as her piano accompanist, and also the owner of the place. Then we travled to New York. Here we found Oscar Kraus taking over Einsteins unfinished theory. On our way back, we stopped at Waanington D. C. and found to our great surprise David Kaufman campaigning for Presidency. Dave told us that Bob Stenz had Just won the heavy-weight championship from Rocky Marciano. From Washington D. C. we travel to Alabama and find Pearl Cook as a southern belle chasing a rich plantation bachelor. Gene Bell. Stopping in California on our way to Wyoming, we heard that Mary Turville was a successful art teacher for the University of Southern California. In Wyoming, we came across a large dude ranch owned by Donald Wojkiewlcz and David Holz, where we find Barbara Beime and her new husband spending their honeymoon, and Dolores Franks teaching all the dudes how to ride horseback. On the way down to Texas to see the h lge oil wells that Ralph Raube and Dudley Galleske own, we heard a familiar voice over the radio filling in for Earl Gillespie announcing the Braves games, and to our surprise, it was Janette Wendt. When we got back to Oakfield we found that Jerry Raube was a 20-year man in the navy and that the former Ruth Merrill was living in Wickenburg, Arizona. We also found Jeanene Burleton running her own private peanut butter factory just outside of Oakfield.
