Sometimes I wish I were back in my high school days with some of m classmates like Gerald Mundwiler. Pete has inherited a million dollars! Pete, although a millionaire, still drives a taxi. He makes daily runs to LaGuardia Field and then hangs a little sign on his door WFemale Passengers Onlyn. No wonder he doesn't retire! You could never guess what has happened to Sara! She started out as a concert pianist. One evening she was getting ready to give one of her best performances when a messenger boy gave her a message which read: Umeet me at 8:00 p.m. on the bridge and we will elopen. Sara was so thrilled she forgot all about her concert and eloped. Sara now has three little Jims. What a catastrophe! Kenneth Correll is manager of the A Cleveland Indians. Recently he was hit in the head with a bat and becam hos- pitalized. There he fell in love with his nurse and married her. I wonder what happened to Bernadine Parsons. The last time I heard of her she had been an airline hostess but they had fired her because every time the plane flew over Wayne, Ohio, she wanted tobai. out. I saw in the paper the other day where Derwin Bates was chosen as America's most eligible bachelor. Derwin always had many female ad- mirers but by the time he built his six-lane highway from England to America he became middle-aged. All work and no play isn't fun. This, Derwin found out. Helen Warriner owns a dog kennel in Risingsun. She raises and sells all kinds of dogs. I asked her if she were married. She winked at me and replied, UMW husband would lead too much of a dog's lifeu. Don Correll has just finished a book entitled WThe Art ofloaf- ingn. It said in the author's note that he had lived this kind of

life for years just so he could give the people an actual picture of loafing. Say, why didn't I think of that idea? Gladine Gangwer is now the chief popcorn seller at the Roxy Theater in New York. Her popcorn is the silent type--no noise when you eat it. She has become so successful that she is planning to have popcorn stands all over the world. Norman Burns has made a name for himself. He is one of the ad- visors for the National Future Farmers of America. CGirl farmers, that is.I He enjoys it immensely. After all, why shouldn't he? All he does is sit at his desk and women farmers come to him seeking in- formation about crops, livestock, etc. Marsha Miller designs hair styles for movie stars. Marsha makes some beautiful creations but she went too far with the latest hair cut. You ask if the hair is short? I guess so! It is so short that you don't have any left on your head. Gene White is one of the executives of the Chrysler Corp. in Detroit. He wanted to design next year's new car but Chrysler wouldn't let him. He wanted to install a mechanical hand to guide the steering wheel so you could drive with one arm and still h8V8'tN0 hands on the wheel. How clever! Marjorie Higley is a famous artist. She has gained'recognition from famous artists all over the world. Marjorie is married and lives on a farm east of Risingsun, Ohio. She will make her first exhibition in Toledo next month at the Art Museum. It is 2:30 a.m. and I am still reminiscing. L3'television show is over and I haven't noticed it. I have seen HThe Forty-ninersn of the Twentieth Century as they actually are. What could be more ex- citing, realistic, and colorful than that?

CLASS PROPHECY I am going to enjoy my television set this evening. There is a variety show called UThe Forty-niners of the Twentieth Centuryu which sounds very interesting. That makes me think of m classmates for that is the year our class graduated from high school. When I think of m classmates I immediately think of Robert Goff. Robert owns a Chevrolet garage in Risingsun. He still owns a beauti- ful farm and enjoys the life of a farmer. He has won many honors with his registered cows. Virginia Cullison has done very well. She is now Mrs. Herman Slapsaddle, an exquisite fashion designer. Her latest design is call- ed the WRising Lookn. This dress has a black jumper, a white blouse, and an orange bow. Those colors blend beautifully together. Her idea must be very original. I still correspond with Paul Stahl. Paul is a professional wres- tler and is known as UChubweightH. He has won several of his bouts and is thinking of retiring. He has a wife and nine children. .That's enough to keep any man busy. Barbara Brewer is married and living in England. When she first visited this country, she met Prince Charles. He requested that she become his nursemaid so she remained in England. Joe Goudy is happy as the president of an exclusive girls school in Winter Yard, Florida. Joe has learned how to get up in the morn- ings. -He invented a water sprinkling alarm clock. He needed that when we were Seniors. Martha Huffman is a housewife. She has such a darling family! She sings songs for every wedding and funeral in Risingsun. She is the leader of the church choir. Who did she marry? Silly people!
