THE ODONIAN CLASS PROPHECY , 1 Dear Mother: Juli 4' UW The day is over and what a day it was. With forty-one seniors of '53 and all their families. It was a wonderful occasion for all of us. This was the tirst time we had been together since graduation. It was a great surprise to me that everyone of us was able to attend. They were all about the same. Here's a little gossip about each one. George Breeden, alias Tweeny', who travels to all types of celebrations with his iireworks and settings gave us a wonderful show. He is still a bachelor. As for bachelors we have several more including those old chums, Roscoe Bus Franklin and jim Adams. they now own the Atomic Dog Food plant at Chicago. Mary Humerickhouse is now married to Richard VVo0druff and they have two little darlings. Joanne and Jack Franklin, Shirley and Lee Townsend, and Nora and Don Chestnut are still the same old happy couples that we had at Odon high except for a few additions to the families. I was so glad to hear Charlotte Williaiiis was a successful horse trainer. Max Sinclair is riding some of Charlotte's Derby winners. Barbara Doolin and Charles llunch have a beauty shop and gro- cery store combination in Udon. Mary Myers and Roger Riggins finally got married after going steady for eight years. George VVinklepleck, Paul Norris, Ilene Dyal and Gene McCall are now owners of the largest mid-west chicken farm, lt is located just outside of the city limits of Farlen. Shirley Ragle is now married to John Russell, who is a minister at Udon. Bob Malone, Carl Tarvin and Hilbert Core are happily married farmers and landlords of some of the largest producing farms in Indiana. Karen Abrell has been married for years to Joe Humerickhouse whom she secretely married during her high school days. Emily Gee finally has married Bill Ketchum, who owns the Ford Garage at Elnora. Yes, Ernestine Atchley and Urum jones are married and have three children. Catherine Toal and Mary Sims who are private secretaries in Chicago have just returned from Europe. A romantic trip l hear!! After all these years Owen Gee is still popping corn at the Odon theater. He owns the theater too. ls he stingy or can't he afford to have a boy to pop corn? Fred Porter, now married to Kay Mullis, is helping his father- in-law sell TV sets.
