391044641 Tacoma, Washington July 1, 1965 Miss Pat Judd Head Dietitian, Institute for Mentally Unbalanced Steilacoom, Washington Dear Pat Judd: Perhaps your present environment is partially responsible for this, but I knew you would be interested when I awakened this a.m. and realized we had been traveling com- panions in the Land of Dreams last night. It seems that on a certain warm afternoon, July lst, 1965, we embarked in a long black convertible and sped away to Seattle on a shopping trip. As we entered Seattle we absent-mindedly run through a stop light. When the patrol officer stopped us we were very much surprised to see that we knew him, for lo and behold, it was our old class- mate Darrell Burden. Helping him make out the ticket was Eunice Moltz. We couldn't find a place to park the car so we decided to have it greased, and drove to a nearby Shell Station. Much to our surprise who should be working there but Howard Kalnoski. We stopped and talked to Howard for a few minutes and he told us that Jack Rice was working in a big butcher shop in New York City. We left the car and as we walked dovm the street we saw two familiar faces. We stopped to gaze upon them and after a few seconds we recognized them as Mr. and Mrs. Dale Willis. Dale and Darlene told us that Delaine Nederlander is in the Army and that Tom Girard is a great Professor in the Harvard University. We hear from different sources that Joann Williamson is working in a big photog- raphy shop, tinting pictures. Hellen Mitchell, Mary Courtney and Patty Rogers are all living in Tacoma. Bob Locke is a famous lawyer in Timbuctoo. Netty Fossett is happily married and living in Shangralila. We heard that Jim Shore has made several trips to the moon and back in his new kind of jet plane. Norma Erickson and Luana Jacobsen are in the entertainment world twirling their way to fame. Dorothy Franklin went to the State University and graduated with high honor. Ronnie Cooper, the great playboy, is making his business in California. Betty Lohff has returned to Wisconsin where she has the world's famous dude ranch. Shirley Hale has invented a new solution for the skin. She calls it Miss Hale's New De-freckler Solution. Ruth Johnson won the Miss America title a few years after she graduated. Darlene Spoons is a house- wife and has two children, but I can't remember where she lives because the alarm went off. I hope to receive a reply to this letter. Very truly yours, Darlene Rambo The records show the answer of the above: Dear Darlene, Your room is paid for. Come at once. Sincerely yours, Patt Judd, Head Dietitian

Aix ,- If ' ' lla 5 XA -L l X f tx' - RX 5 Xp, L it T' T ill , s 1, ' or 1, f W w L- B VII ,,, .Nu X , Y 4 1 cgi - f f Twelve years ago last fall, five members of the class of '50 presented themselves at the door of the Onalaska Grade School to begin their careers in Readin', 'Ritin', and 'Rithmetic . These members were Ruth Johnson, Patty Judd, Darlene Spoons, Patty Rogers and Jim Shore. Others who entered at that time have moved away or left school for other reasons. During the years which followed, additions to the class were made from various other schools, and at the beginning of their seventh school year, Onalaska District 14229 was consolidated with outlying areas, and a much larger group occupied the seventh grade room under the supervision of Mrs. Inez Duncan, and when the class started as eager freshmen, they numbered forty-three. The main event of the freshmen year was initiation into high school by the sopho- mores, and the next year we, in turn, helped a greener f'bunch over the threshold into the mysteries of higher education. The junior year was marked by the production of the Junior play - The Whole Tovm's Talking , and the Junior-Senior picnic held at Offut Lake. The Juniors took over the candy sales when the Seniors left on their annual trip to British Columbia, and they were well launched on their Senior Program by the time fall came and the class was actually on the last lap of high school career. We had lost and regained some members. The new ones of this year were: Shirley Hale and Darlene Martin. Students who have been with us during our three previous years were: Waldamae Bender, Joyce and Joan Crawford, Sylvia Miller, Helen Thormahlen, Laura and Flora Nichols, Helen Dixon, Barbara Daniels, Jeanne Harris, Helen Jacobsen, Duveen Noble, Colleen Proteau, Keith and Robert Skinner, Gerald Turner, Mona White, Marjorie Wright, Leona Webb, and John Shepherd, Dick Schroeder, Dorothea Bowden, Lorraine and Viola Ralph. The main events were: Senior trip to Canada, Senior Ball a.nd Senior Play. The Officers for this year were: President .T ack Rice, Vice President, Howard Kalnoskig Secretary, Darlene Spoons, Treasurer, Ruth Johnson, Sargeant-at-Arms, Darrell Burden. Q f r 45? MQ!
