I llliil 'SemJafa6la44? ,ii one day as I was sitting in my spacious living room, I started thinking about my old classmates of ten years ago. I wondered if they had all realized their ambitions as I had, so I decided that I would take a trip for the sole purpose of visiting my old friends. I said good-bye to my millionaire husband and left our mansion in California bound for Phelps, New York. The first person I met as I walked down the Main Street of Phelps was Sharon Bliven, only her last name isn't Bliven any more, it's Day. She was wheeling a baby carriage and in it were darling twin boys. She told me she named them Dickie and Rickie after their father. I learned from Sharon that Phelps is no longer noted for sauerkrautg it is now the home of the world's largest lumber mill operated by another of my classmates, Jim Caves. Three more of my classmates are members of the young married set of Phelps. Marlene Dhalle is married to a G.L.F. man, Dorothy Phillips to a farmer, and Barb Enders has settled down in a cute little white house on Ontario Street. Her husband's name is Jerry, of course. Next, I drove toward Melvin Hill since many of my old friends lived there during' our school days. On the way, I saw a beautiful, huge, dairy farm and the name Tillman was on the mailbox. Naturally, I stopped and sure enough, I found Paul in the barn milking his cows. He told me that Spencer Westfall, Glenn Zaso, and Bob Vingee are also successful farmers. Bob and Glenn are happily married but Spence is still a bachelor and quite a man about town, so I hear. After I left Paul's farm and drove a sho1't distance, I came to a large building which hadn't been there ten years ago. Outside was a big sign reading, Fair's Dancing Studio, Joyce Fair, Proprietor. I had a nice visit with Joyce and she told me that Alice DeCann was her private secretary and partner in this successful business firm. She also gave me some information about some of my other classmates. Joanne Giiord is now the world's most popular and famous party giver. She entertained many famous celebrities among whom is Marjorie Whitson, one of the youngest woman politicians of our time. We also have two other classmates who have entered into the field of politics, Arlene Craig is the mayor of Five Points and Bev Hayes is the mayor of Oaks Corners. From Joyce's I drove to Lyons where I found that Jerry Yeckley is now the pro- prietor of an inn called Mike's Place. His partners in this thriving business are Carl Conklin and Sam Davis. They told me that their old buddy, Dick Bement, is a famous man in the auto racing world. I didn't find this hard to believe because Dick was already practicing while he was in high school. They also told me that Ken Buck was the owner of a used car business. When I went to see Ken, he told me that he was worried about a new competitor in this field. It's a woman, Mary Mouton, and sheis doing very well for herself. Ken told me that his old friend, Niels Pederson is now the captain of that new atomic ship, the S.S. Mundy. Don Dersham is married and is planning to take his wife, Jeanette, back for a visit to Holland. Two of our former Five Points citizens, Jean Wheadon and Bob Haynes, have been very successful. Jean completed her course at Nyack M.T.I. and is now the wife of a minister of a beautiful church in New York. Bob finally has his Cadillac and it's a beautiful 1963 model. I9
