62 Following the supper, which was prepared and served by the Robert Catlos Catering Service, we enjoyed games and contests. We recognize the housewife Peggy Sell, who easily won the nE1eotric Rolling-Pin Hurlingu contest. The mathe- matician and nuclear physicist Dr. Donald Yeager won the nHow Many Atoms on This Pinheadn contest. Other contests were held. Among these were the UHow High Can You Jump with your Rocket Belt contest, won by John Panezott, and t e 'Uranium Hunt with Helicoptersn contest, won by Sue White. Kip Van Horn won the rocket firing contest, and Melvin Hawki head of the Electronics Division of Mbtorola, won the nWho Can Build a Primitive 1959 Radio the Fastest' contest. After the contests, with all the members of the class posing, Robert Waggener, the famous artist, painted a por- trait of the group. Richard Ashead, Hollywood photographer, took several pictures. Dick Carter, owner of a chain of Hardware Stores, distributed key chains. The picnic was almost over, but a surprise treat still awaited the group. Manfred Meine, the multimillionaire rocket enthusiast, treated them to a quick trip around the world, 50 miles up, in his newest rocket-plane, the MM-SO.

foob 10279 0775 T558 7DgfC,zWQ The year is l98hL The place is Centennial Park, Salem, Ohio. The scene opens as a few early birds arrive at the 25th anniversary reunion of the first ninth grade graduating class of Salem Junior High School in 1959. They greet one another and begin reminiscing. We recognize nJunglcH Jim McCoy and his chimp, Zeppo. They are talking to that famous alligator wrestler, Jim Sneddon. And there is Kathy Messenger who holds the title of HThe World's Greatest Talkern. More classmates are pouring in from near and far. Ah yes, here comes Steve Sabol, newspaper vender, who inciden- tally has the busiest'corner in Timbuctoo. Also we notice the famous airline hostess, Pat Dolansky. As you know, she was the first hostess on the X-75 round trip flight to the moon and back. As our eyes wander around, we canlt help but notice Tina'Renaldo and Cheryl Mlinarcik who recently modeled some bathing suits on the Dale Schaeffer Variety Hour. Here come two prominent businessmen, Santo Sicilia, caretaker of the city dump, and Joseph DeCort, the million- aire owner of the DeCort Casket Factories. Stepping over to Centennial Park's new air-curtained pavilion, we find two inventors, Bryan McGhee demonstra- ting his Easter egg color computer, and Thomas Hone Ph. D. with his magnetic field designed to attract 310 bills. Looking over Dr. Hone's shoulder is Penelope Silver, an elusive racketeer who was at one time operating in the nGain Weight Fastu swindles. Over at the electronically scoring tennis courts, we glimpse the former Becky Snowball, wife of a famous orchestra conductor with John Strain, tennis instructor at Hawaii State U. playing doubles with Karen Moff, ambassador to North-East Antarctica, and Sam Watson, White House press secretary. We walk over to the baseball diamond and see Kenny Tepsic, hot rod fan, pitching to Jud Chappell, former slugger for the Minneapolis Dodgers. Bob Eskay, literary critic and sports fan is in the out-field. Looking down among the long table where everyone is assembling for a delicious picnic supper, we see more familiar faces. There is D. C. Vincent, Olympic track star who now lives in Washington. Dr. Allen Ewing who discovered a vaccine for cancer is also present. Getting away from their hectic scientific duties are Brian Houger, an otorhinolaryngologist, and Evelyn Falkenstein, the nMad Scientistn on leave from Massillon. We also see Shirley Buckle, Miss America of 19653 Mike Fenske, that neat and tidy custodian of New York subwaysg and Nancy Boyd, renown concert pianist. Ccontinued on Page 621 D
