T tfl A ig, , 'ffj fl As we look into the early spring of 1956, we find LILLIE BELLE RAMSEY, who is in much need of a vacation from her work as costume designer for the Colossal Studio in Holly- wood, visiting her old classmate and friend, ELEANOR CARPENTER in Washington, D. C. Eleanor, whose husband is a naval officer, is busy caring for her three children, Rose Wood, Red Wood and little Plye Wood. These two old friends' favorite pastime seems to be relat- ing news they hear about their old classmates of '46. It was Lillie Belle's luck to run into ROBERT SCHMITTGEN on her way to Washington, who gave her first hand information about all the rest of their class, since he is a salesman, traveling over most of the civilized world and Eaton, too. He now holds the record for never having been turned away from any door. This success may be due to his pleasing smile and winning personality. Bob told of hailing a taxi to catch his train and to his surprise, finding GEORGE SCHWINN behind the wheel. His early experience in high school may have helped in his choice of oc- cupations. On the way to the station, George pointed out to Bob, HOLLINGER'S GARAGE, now open for business. But the car that seems to give IACK the most business is his own. But in spite of all their gossip, they had to take time out for refreshments and listen to their favorite radio program, Hit Parade, consisting of former classmates. The announcer, WIL- BUR Sl-IEAK, with that well-known voice of his introduces the lack Kodysh Orchestra, starring DONNA WORCESTER as soloist singing Hubba! Hubba! Thena pause for station iden- tificationuand a word from NEIL HENSON, THE auctioneer. Neil, because of earlier exper- iences, has taken up smoking more seriously than we had ever anticipated. As to the rest of the class, we find them pretty well scattered all over the United States. ILONA POHLOD will be in Ridgeville soon to deliver her campaign speech for the 1956 presidential election. She is the first woman candidate for this office. Results so far show that she is winning over her Republican rival, Thomas E. Dewey, who is still in hopes of be- ing president some day. Speaking of our old home town, l just saw a piece in the paper the other day that I think you would all be interested in hearing about.. DONALD FALKNER, an up and coming young citizen of North Ridgeville, was just recently elected Water Commissioner of that same town. VERN ANDREWS, now a prominent lawyer, is settling a dispute between MIKE DEMYAN and WILLIAM ODY over the poisoned calf. It seems that Ody dumped some kerosene in the same stream where Demyan's cows quench their thirst. Ear off in New York, you can find IOSEPHINE and ERNESTINE ECKENFELS appearing on the stage for their famous ballet dancing.

We met MARY SCHULTZ in a pet shop yesterday buying a cat and a parrot. She informs us she is settling down to a contented life of her own. -Already a well-known celebrity, ELEANOR PAIS is making a tour with that one and only Lawrence Tibbet. She holds the training she received in Ridgeville High School respon- sible for this exasperating career. Astonishing all her former classmates, DONELDA RUPPELT makes the factfknown that she is now entertaining as a night club hostess. Good luck in your unusual career, Donelda. And if any of you are interested in reading some really good books, you might be inter- ested in CURTIS PAYE'S latest book How I Sleep Without Snoring. Any former class- mate can help verify this statement. LOUISE BIERMACHER is now assisting all young housewives in remodeling their chicken coops into convenient living quarters. This summer you'll probably hear about the United States' star entry, PAUL ROTHGERY, in the 1956 Olympic Games to be held in Holland. His great speed has really placed Ridge- ville on the map. It is true that VIRGINIA LYONS has established her own personal column in the Chronicle Telegram, called Lose Lots and Look Lovelier with Lyons . IUNE MCGUCKEN has just won first prize in a county fair for one of those delicious choc- olate cakes, well known to her husband, Peanuts. In any large city in Ohio, you can usually find one of those famous Loretta doughnut shops, which are prospering very rapidly due to LORETTA MEECHA'S early experience in doughnut making at the Volunteer Market. As we turn to our favorite section ot the daily paper, we find ROBERT KAMMILLER'S fam- ous comic strip Lil' Clem and Daisy june . Daisy Mae at last caught her man, Li'l Abner, so now let's see the man doing the chasing, with. Lil' Clem using all means, fair or foul to capture Daisy Iune. You don't suppose Bob could have gotten any ideas for this comic strip while he was still in school. If any of you are in need of a doctor, and I do mean desperately, we suggest you call in DOCTOR LINE. FLORENCES sure cure remedies have proven to be too successful, nobody ever lives to have any more trouble. ' Yes, COLLETTA DENT is keeping herself pretty busy these days trying to satisfy the women with new hair styles. I-Ier beauty shop is only a short distance form Loretta's doughnut shop. So, just fill your pockets up and come right along and wait your turn. Professor NORMAN HETSLER will be the guest speaker at the Ridgeville Garden Club this coming week. Because of his extensive study as a horticulturalist, he will demonstrate to the ladies how flowers are grown and not weeds. This should prove to be quite an in- teresting talk, especially since Norman is a woman. hater and who knows what will happen when they all start crowding around him, asking silly questions. After much searching, we finally located our classmate, YOLANDA VERES. We found her living on a large ranch in Wyoming trying to round up some of the cattle and her husband He seemed to be giving her a little trouble. Deciding that it would be a good idea to pass on all her knowledge on the subject How to Study, PATRICIA MADDOCK is making a tour of all the schools in Ohio. She should know if anyone should. MARTHA KLEIN is living a very contented life on an orange grove in California. If any of you should get out that way, look her up, she's almost. as sunkist as her oranges. t Eleven
