Semin As I entered the portals of Royerton High School for the annual Alumni Banquet, on the Sth of May, 1982, I found that the school was not the dear old, red brick building that the class of 1952 attended. In its place is a very modern building constructed entirely of glass and steel. The present structure seats 9,000 industrious pupils. Royerton has now become famous as being the largest rural school in the world. South of the building stands a magnificent stadium and and field house. The field house has a seating capacity of 25,000. Just as my mind began to wander to scenes of our high school days, John Colsten, one of the first to arrive, spoke to me and brought me back to the present. John told me Qvery modestlyj that he is now a scientist working for DuPont laboratories. His present assignment has sent him to Alaska. He forgot to tell me that he is trying to discover a new element, rumored to be found in the soil in Alaska. As John was finishing telling me about his work, David Battas, accompanied by Marilyn Crampton and Barbara Humbert, appeared on the scene to add their bit. David and Marilyn have combined their efforts and now run a very successful junk yard. I always thought that David would be a politician after his career in high school as class president for three years. However, David revealed that the junk business is much more solid, especially with Marilyn running the financial part of the business. Barbara has found her corner in the journalistic field ,as the editor of the New York Times. She became interested in this profession after filling the same position on the Royerton Review. Barbara let us in on her newest scoop concerning Gene Hall, who has become famous for his improvements on television. He not only revised color television, but also devised a portable set to be used by ardent viewers on streetcars. However, while preparing to demonstrate his newest device fwhich is a secretj he fell from atop the Empire State Building. It was only through the bravery of Nancy Shaffer, captain of the New York Fire Department, that he was saved. As Nancy was cruising along in her Cadillac convertible, while on her lunch hour, she saw him falling and quickly drove onto the curb to allow him to fall into the back seat and thereby saved his life. Gene's only injury was sustained when he hit his head on her metal helmet which lay on the rear seat. He is now in the Garton-Harper's Hospital where he is being treated for shock by Drs. Frank Garton and Jim Harper, famous head and heart specialists. Also conferring with these famous specialists is Dr. Janice Locke, head of the Speech Department at Harvard University. It seems that Gene's condition has resulted in a loss of the voice, and Prof. Locke is helping him regain it. Barbara also let us in on another news bit so far unpublished. Richard Riley, lion tamer, and his companion, Bettie Thompson, are expected to arrive in the U. S. next week. Richard has become the most noted big game hunter since the retirement of Clyde Beaty. Dick, with the help of Bettie, is bringing back a rhinoceros as a house pet for millionairess Jean Mills of the Mills Milling Company of Millsburg, Minnesota. The real reason for the pet's request by Miss Mills is not known, but her closest friends say she prefers large and strange animals to dogs, cats, and canaries. As the people began to assemble, it became apparent that most of them were not familiar to us, the class of 1952, and that many of our own classmates were so changed that it was impossible to recognize them. However, one familiar member was Lynn Turner, who flew from New York especially for the banquet. He was accompanied by Mary Joan Largent, Betty Slusher, and Delilah Batt, all mem- bers of the Musical Variety show now featured at the Stork Club where Lynn is master of ceremonies. Lynn has had considerable publicity on his busy daily routine of being the only singing emcee to appear at the Stork Club. Carolyn Sue Brand, world noted columnist for a nation wide syndicate, has done a series of articles on Lynn's life and work. After a little questioning, Lynn reported that a number of the class of '52 have found their place in the world in New York. Among them his next door neighbor, Pat Asbury. She has teamed up with Don Hardin in an electrical toy manufacturing concern under the name of Pattydon Toys. This label, on all toys from atomic cars to walking baby dolls, insures the owner that these toys were designed by this famous pair. As we progressed into the gymnasium, the orchestra engaged for the evening began to play. Glancing at the backdrop, I was quite surprised to see the name of Gary Lee and His Orchestra. Of course this could be none other than the famous bandleader-drummer, Gary Mansfield. A close in- spection revealed the members of the band to be Don Miller, Bill Jenkins, Paul Kem, Dick Riggin, Dwight Thornburg, and the very noted Charles Davis, commonly known as Davis the Divinef' Janice Hall, who is the singer for them, has become well known for her very different rendition of vocal music, shares the spotlight with Davis the Divine. With a musical career, the members of the orchestra have combined sports, playing with the Green Bay Packers Professional Football Team during the fall. The advertising manager for the orchestra, Curtis Nelson, told me that the band has gotten a lot of publicity from its football exploits. However they are not the only Royerton graduates with this honor as Jackie Zehner made the Women's All-American team last year. Also, according to her husband, John Osborne, who is the manager of the Glamazons Women's Football Team, Jackie is going to retire from active participation next year. She has already signed a contract as assistant line coach at the University of Southern California.
