CLASS Well, here we are at the Class of 59 reunion. Many things have changed around good old Pleasant Mills since we left 10 years ago, This year the reunion is at the home of Mr. and Mrs, Dwight Brunner fthe former Judy Williamsonj. They have a nice family of three girls and a boy. Judy also reports to us that they own the chain of Dairy Queen stores and that it is a very prosperous business. The first to arrive, all out of breath, were Steve Irwin and Roger Snyder who used to be star runners at good old P. M. H. S, They were competing in the Olympics at Sidney, Australia and ran all the way. In a suffocating cloud of dust came Gary Millington and Kenneth Terrell. Kenneth is the president of the Blue Creek Stone Quarry, Gary is president of the Ford Motor Company and is trying to interest Kenneth in buying some Ford stone trucks, Next to arrive on the scene were Marie Ohler and Steve Riley, They own the Slim and Trim Bread Company in Fort Wayne, Steve reports to us that business is really booming with all the weight-watching that has been going on here of late, Just as most of us were beginning to remember the riots we had at Pleasant Mills in came Dick Ehrsam all wrapped up in an Eskimo parka, He had just returned from a fishing expedition up north and he says its really great fishing but kind of cold. Who could it be, under dark glasses with a big pipe in his mouth, but Ferris Fox. He is a famous movie producer in Hollywood and has now produced somewhere in the neighborhood of 200 films, His address, in case any of you have visions of stardom, is 66 Sunset Strip, Holly- wood 9, California,

PROPHECY Jerry Winans and Ed Luginbill arrived next singing Tom Dooley. They first made it a hit singing for a Ladies Aid Society Meeting. They have a performance coming up at the Green Cheese Gardens on the moon, Don't miss it! Janie Raudenbush and Betty Myers were the next arrivals. It seems they are cheerleaders for the Decatur Giants, a pro basketball team, They almost didn't make it because of a game. Betty reports that they recently won top honors at the National Scream Leaders convention held in Van Wert, Ohio. Tom Garwood and his mechanic Roger Roe came roaring up in an old out-dated 1959 Ford, Tom and Roger are a big success in the racing business, Tom wrecks cars and Roger fixes them up again. Judy Lough and Marge Dailey with their husbands were the final arrivals, Judy is the record librarian at W P M S, Pleasant Mills newest radio station and she also manages to cut a few records now and then, I am not permitted to disclose her husband's name for fear it might cause a riot. Marge Dailey informs us that after graduation she went to college to take up the fine art of beating drums. She is now married to a famous Calypso dancer and plays the bongo drums at his famous night club, The Palm Tree, We would like to express our appreciation to Judy who furnished records for dancing and Marge who gave us a special number on the Bongo drums. Now that all the members of the class have made their entrance I shall leave you to join them for a big old fashioned gab fest, Hoping to see you again in 1979, I remain respectfully yours.
