Glass tmI'OpllQCy As we look into the Army Hospital Ward at Ashtabula we see Iim Speer lying in a bed. He is there as a result of a gunshot wound in his big toe. He received this wound while demonstrating the correct and safe use of a rifle to some Privates in the Army where lim is now a Lieutenant. Being thirsty he rang for a nurse to bring him water. To his surprise the nurse that brought him the water turned out to be his old classmate, Alice Kapalin. During their conversation of the good old days Jim found out that Alice was now Mrs. Ronald Skarlinski and the proud mother of twins. She then told Iim that Gaylord Millard is now married and after taking over his mothers farm has added on more cattle and about 100 acres of land. A Alice asked Iim if he knew where Larry Cork was and he told her that Butch is now out of the Army and working at the Reliance Electric Plant. Heiis still a bachelor and quite Aa play boy. Butch has now bought a 66 Chevrolet Convertible. They then decided to make a list of all their old classmates. They found that Ada Lampson is a school teacher in a private school in Virginia. She has bought her own home and also drives a 65 Plymouth. They found that David Holden after completing his four years at Kent State University has worked himself up to the position of assistant editor of the Ashtabula Star Beacon. Davis has married Janice Brown and they have one child. Russell Cork after completing his eight years in the Army Reserves has decided to make the Army his career with expectations of becoming a Captain in the near future. He is also married and he and his wife Pat, have two children. They learned that Donna Carpenter has now become the proud mother of her second set of twins. She seems to be doing a good job of being a good wife and mother since her marriage to Eugene Carpenter in 1955. They also learned that while Carol Mann was attending Missionary School she met a young minister whom she later married. They now have their own church in Reading, Pennsylvania. It took a lot of looking to find the other three members of the class as they were further from home. Elise Strock has finished her nurses training and is now a registered nurse at Mount Union Hospital in Cleveland. As yet Elise hasn't found the right man. Bob Penton after getting out of the Army married Faye Campbell. He then went to a trade school in Cleveland to learn about mechanics. Bob is now in Columbus where he is head mec.1- anic at Wagner Motors Inc. which has the largest car repair department in Ohio. Janice Million is now married to a nice young man and is a secretary for a large firm in Chicago. They own a beautiful home there and have five children.
