Cla!! pI'0plleCy In the modern age of 1981 all is different from decades ago, but mem- ories still linger on as is apparent as now in the home in .some far-away city where a very precious memory is found by an inquisitive Child as we hear: Mother what s this book of funny looking people? I found it 1n the att1c Why that dear is Mother s picture album from high school My what memories that book holds Mama please s1t down and tell me about some of them Oh I really don t have the time Please Marna Oh alright I just can t refuse Start w1th these Mama They look so funny These dear are the members of the class of 49 and the faculty members at that time Starts turning pa gesj This 1S a kind looking man Who was he? That my sweet 15 Mr Crum He was the principal then In my day we just called him Mr Crum but now he s the President of the country s best and biggest college He has been quoted as saying that part of his success 1S due to his secretary Mrs Dwight Johnson, who at the time I knew her was Lolita Bockewitz. Her picture is here on th1s page It's a mystery to me how some people can run both a home and an office so effxciently Oh Mama, who could this be 7 factory known frankly as Fims Franks Frankfurter Company He started this business with the help of Alice Dunlap whose picture 1S over here It seems she has proved to be one of the most capable secretary salesmanager to be found I read just the other day where she was elected one of the ten best secretarxes of the year Right over here we have John Smith He was marr1ed right after graduation I received a letter from Marilyn his wife just the other day He inherited a farm a few miles from Harvel when they were married Made quite a success of it and now they have given lt the fancy name of Sm1th's Inc This looks like a lively little man What s his narne That my dear is Mr Mullens He is now known as Fred Astaire the II He has appeared in sever al films and also on Broadway He has grown fabulously wealthy partly due they say to the fact that he never for gets his change Opposite him IS Mr Presley All nature lovers 1n the world knows him because he is the possessor of the greatest bug collection in the world He says he owes his success in his hobby to the students whom he taught at good old Rayrnond High School His collection was recently enlarged when this man here Mr Schroeder sent h1m a rare bug from Africa 17 , . . . . .
