M'eITIKL ..b w , , was Carl Seybold, who is Presidents of the United Nations. His legic-Ehe clear-thinking have enabled him to hold this difficult job. His personal s.E;:tary is Phyllis Zurcher. A confidential report shows her salary to be 89,5Qt,90 per year. tCarl demands the o r ten cents for rent. Like all good We'retaries, she sits on his lap.l Also in the Eagg I was astonished to see Malcolm Clodfelter exploring in the old Egyptian tombs.

Says he, I had to find some place where I could drive that was not so crowded. tWe sympathize.l I'm practieally positive that his name and face will appear on the winner's cup for the Five Hundred Mile Class-' ic this year. Why? Because his wife, Edna White, said 50. She said, and I quote, I prefer raee drivers to any other brand test .

.e- Memories I In January of the year 1980, while in my residence in the Carpathians, I invited some of my old classmates, who are now some of the most prominent peo- ple on earth, to visit me. Those present were L.B. and P.E., who are world champion ice skaters, J.MC., the famous skier, and J.N., the inventor of shoes for those who can't stand up. One day while dear ?.E. and L.B. were showing me how to skate on my fro- zen swimming pool, I fell, and, as a natural result, suddenly found myself re- viewing all the planets and worlds of the universe. As I caught glimpses of these various galaxies, I thought, bless my soul; that I saw the members of the never to be forgotten class of '51. The first ones I saw were the noted, or rather notorious, Dirty Four . In case you have been a hermit or deaf for years, these characters were Jessie Fultz, Barbara Hamilton, Rose Martin, and Patricia Navel. Jet , The Rock Fultz, the only unmarried member of the quartet, is known for her hard-heart- ed-ness: Babs Hamilton is a huge success in her latest picture, The Wife of Tarzan, and will soon be privileged to put her footprint in front of the Gro- man's Chinese Theater beside those of other famous celebrities. Rosie Martin is recognized by the world as its greatest slapstick comedy actress; and Pat Navel has married Dale-Berry and reared a mild dozen children, who are, at the present, farming to sunport the town of Rockville. Then I recognized the International Department of Physics Research in Washington, D.C. In front of this building were the two superintendents of the research department--our old pals and great jokers, yet brilliant physio- ists--Car1eton Butler and Leon Bowman. -22-

Memories It did not amaze me to find Pat Riddle and Ral kEAtkinson married and running a children's home, for I had often remarked to ?Eelf that they were a perfect couple and 32 kind. Ann Hardesty, who, incidently, married the famous stunt flyer, Bob Ross, is very happy now as they have raised a squadron of little pilots to be--all boys. Why there's Donna Hiatt Welch standinq beside her scholary husband Jerry. Says Mrs. welch, Having started in 1951, my husband has, as of this year tl980h, been declared graduated with honors from Wabash College. I'm inmensely proud. i Madeline Kent and Lois Hartman, who were school buddies, have combined their erest minds to become the authors of the best fiction novels. Their pen names are Moe and Shmoe. Mary Earley, who sought a career in grand opera, sang the role of Carmen for five years at the Met.: but she has now returned to her Alma Mater, good old R.H.S., to follow in the footsteps of Miss Brown. Little is known of Ramona Smiley Byers except that she is very happily married. Miss Smiley, in school, was the silent type. Helen Partner has contributed so much in the field of science, mathemat- ics, literature, and politics that her name is never to be forgotten; but her greatest work was in discovering a new method of transmitting knowledge into the heads of slow students, by means of an invention used only in secret by Miss Partner. The President has offered her a large sum for a similar machine to use in the White House. Ray Harney, president of his class in '51, has become quite reknown in his work for Getro Moldyn Mayor as a make-up artist and hair stylist. Last but not least we find Bill Pinegar, who has devoted his life to pub- lic reform. Recently he has just won his one hundred and fiftieth victory from the poor public. This time he fought against using rat traps. Suddenly the mist began clearing and I was back again at my mountain home. I seemed dazed and in a dream. Had I really gone forward into time or had it all been a dreAm? It was impossible, No! It couldn't be! And yet---- well, maybe-----I guess I'll never know. -24-
