CLASS It's been 15 years since that eventful day in May when the class of '48 received their diplomas and said farewell to the old Alma Mater for the last time. What became of that class? What changes have taken place in their lives since those careful school days of long ago? Let's look in on them- Remernber lack Nusbaum? Iack's a plum- ber now, carrying on his father's trade with flying colors. Back in '49, he wanted to join the navy, but l guess laying gas and sewage pipes got the better of him. If you ever need those pipes cleaned out, remember our boy. He's a champ. Then there's Mae Beth Winkler. Twerp's president of the Last National Bank now. She's still as active as ever, and still enjoys playing a piano. You'll find her at most of the social events around Ottawa, playing anything from B to the latest in Be-bop. Iohn Willoughby! Our class was always proud of his ability to out talk the teachers, but we never dreamed that some day the fate of the world would be in his hands. He will deliver his historic speech, Iuly 17, 1963, at a United Nations Conference. Iohn is also publishing his 33rd edition of Anchitheruim on Astrakhan or The Worms of Russia are Descending. Let's move on- Grace Lighthill has been married thirteen years now and has a very charming family. She and her husband do quite a bit of enter- taining, so I hear from distinguished men and women from the bar or pool room across the street. After fifteen attempts at college, Eddy Kersh has finally succeeded in getting his diploma and is taking over Kersh's Insurance Agency. Rumors are flying that he put in three hours of hard work, not over a week ago. Oh, but that's just Eddy for you-a playboy at heart. By the way, he carries insurance for life, accidents, blondes, red- heads, and brunettes-not to mention broken hearts. Look him up sometime. ' Lydia Warkentin has started a chain of meat markets recently and has been doing very well for herself. lt seems as if her hard work and stiff upper lip have made her wild- est dreams come true at last. Her private swimming pool is actually the talk of the town. PH UPHEEY Oh, yes! lim Howard! Iim's been driving a truck for the Zatzo Trucking Co. He's still the same old Iim. Plenty of fun, lots of laughs, never a dull moment! He's married now, you know. He has really an adorable wife. Margaret Anspach has gone far in this modern business world. She types on an average of 250 words per minute and takes dictation faster than her boss can speak the words. She always finishes first. Margaret is also the owner of a drug store and cat farm. Between the two, her time is pretty well filled. She is living in New York, now. Mary Now married a saucy little redhead shortly after graduation and she and her husband are the owners of fifteen different restaurants. Mary's spare time is filled with different types of social work and she is an active member of most of the organizations in Ottawa. If you ever get hungry for some- thing different from the regular line of food, stop at one of her famous restaurants. Be- lieve me, her special Spaghetti in the Bucket will really bowl you over. Donn McGinnis has been flying high late- ly!! He's a flight instructor at Smash Up Field, a school for defective Chas-been? flyers. He enjoys his work immensely. Don is also working on a new type of machine. You can drive it and enjoy an afternoon drive in the comfort of your own home. Great lad! Ierry Salisbury has been promoted to Ad- miral in the U.S. Navy. Admiral Salisbury, we salute you. Allan Gulker and Ianell Groll are in Cali- fomia working in one of the hospitals. Allan is a very brilliant doctor and Ianell is work- ing as his assistant. Iay, however, will soon be replaced by Lana Turner, because of a little accident, and because lay got a good look at the patient. She met her future under very romantic circumstances-a brok- en leg, two broken arms and black eyes, four broken ribs-l As for myself, Pat Maidlow, l'm working in an office in Chicago, head floor sweeper, that isp and at night, chief dish washer in one of the better hotels. But at night, when I climb into bed and listen to my ace trumpet man, I like to imagine myself back in '48, among my classmates and friends. There are none like them.
