It's 1970 • nd I've been gone a long time now, parte of me are scattered here and there—it seems I lust went to pieces that night of the Commencement Exercises back in 1950. Those were the good ol' days. I haven't anything to do—guees I'll go out and roam down that ol' road called Memory Lane. That is, if I can get away without the 111' ones knowin'. They started, codin' along about 1955—Swell bunch too, just like their folks—Well 'nough of this—gotta be on my way if I get around to rememberin' everyone. Remember those two Seniors that cupid kept shooting his dart a at? They tied the knot in 53- 88, I mean Joe Cantrell and Margaret Boyd3ton. They live on the Cantrell D” iry Farm east of Parker—doing right well, too. Joe went away to college but he missed his cows (and Margaret) so much that he came back and settled down. Don Breuel was an energetic chap and now he owns the Centerville Trucking Co.— h uls American history books for Professor Leezy. Don never did get up enough courage to ask Lois to marry him, so she asked him; and after the customary oh, this is so sudden , Don said, yes. Jerry Breuel end Cleo Nichols coach football at Notre Dp me. Jerry lives alone except for one old wrinkled Indian chief who keeps murabl?..g Pontiac Fine Car. Cleo married a 111' blonde named Beverly Qunintance. They bought a piggy bank and now they have several little nichols. Ruth White, now known as Hot Lips White plays the trumpet with her all-girl band. Harry Janes is taking lessons from her but doubts that he'll ever be able to play as well as she. T nda Keeney, another Senior girl, was noted for her flaming red hair. A tal- ent scout whisked her away to Hollywood where she stirred in My Wife is a Red-Head. Elda Jean Mann is in Africa teaching the heathen how we did things at Parker High. She’s having a little trouble—it seems they'd rather rerrnin heathen. Dale Pitchell is a used car dealer. He traded in his old '29 Chevie nd now has a '30 Chevie complete with windows and doors. He grew quite fond of the old one—-says there'll never be another like it. Patty Hicks turned me a real career woman and is typist for the U. S. Govern- ment. Patty cede an error and our National Debt is new 178,000,000,000,000,000,000. Elwood, her rejected suitor, is a member of the Senate, and is trying to pass a bill prohibiting women entirely. Norman Reed married a Clarinet player and now has several little reeds. Norman Jr. ip following in the footsteps of his dad and attends Parker High occasion- ally. Lois Magers, who lives ir. a pent house in New York, has astounded the world with her marvelous paintings—her most famous being Mosquito near Mudcreek at. Twilight. Betty Jo Wittry and Dorothy Povenmire ars contented old maids. They live in a sixty-three room mansion and spend their evenings at home. They never fuss ex- cept when Betty feeds Dorothy's canary too much birdseed. Bud Lee, better kn wn as Casanova Lee has been married six times. He's writing a book now called I Was a Bigamist. Barba line Kfethews lived up to her name and became a bubble dancer. Sheldon finally persuaded her to leave the stage and marry him. Now she drives a lime ruck and is the best lime-spreader in Eastern Kansas. Tommy Wilcox ran for the governorship of Kansas eight times but was never ilected. He has never quit running—his wife chases him with a rolling pin. John Riggs owns a factory in Kansas City which manufactures The Riggs Roll- kway Rat Trap. His traps are a success, but he's trying to improve them by using the same formula Csee used to trap him. t Keith Goodall was always interested in the innrrds of a car and now he s chief engineer at the Ford Company. He's working on a new invention which will rev- olutionize the auto industry—----a car with no motor. That was quite a trip—-think I'll just lie down and rest a few thous nd years. Reckon those flighty young underclassmen will be cornin' along and try to push me out of the picture---but I'll always be around----down here wanderin' in ternary kun — think of me sometime. vMoJr oj o| 5 0
