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-
