Jean: hold on Roma, how about giving me a chance to answer some of these questions? I suggest we head for the nearest restaurant. Roma: Good idea. Say, you know that would be fun. Don Orcutt owns a resteurant fairly near here. Wouldn ' t he be surprised to see us? He calls it ' Don ' s Rendezvous, ' and the food is super. I ' ll meet you there in an hour. Don ' t get lost on the way. Jean: Isn ' t this a swanky place! I always knew that Don would do well in whatever field he chose. Roma: Isn ' t it too bad he isn ' t here to greet us? His work surely takes up a good deal of his time. There ' s a cozy table near the orchestra. Jean: Yes, and isn ' t that orchestra leader goodlooking? Roma: I ' ll say so. Lets hurry over to that table before someone beats us to it. By the way, Jean, did you know that Pat Whalen is living in Chicago now,, working for the Daily Argus? So far, no male has entered into the picture, but sooner or later she ' ll tie the knot, no doubt. Jean: Really, I just heard that Laura Straleau, (remember the cute little chick that she was) is now a model and is attaining great success. Perhaps we have another Sloan Simpson in our classl Roma: We may at that. Do you recall Alan Gould? He ' s another cele- brity in our midst. He has been awarded the title of the world ' s feather-weight boxer. Alan took up boxing right after graduation and with a great deal of practice and many blows he is now tops in his field. And do you recall Agnes Hewins? She ' s riding in- structor for G Bar S Ranch. Agnes always had a terrific love for horses so her job suits her to perfection. Jean: You can ' t imagine where Anita Charbonneau is now, Roma. She left the United States for France a few years ago on a visit and liked the place so much she decided to stay. Anita is now an interpreter. She used to be an A-l student at Sheffield. And Frank Franklin must have changed considerably since the days at Sheffield. He was always such a quiet boy. The job of train engineer is his and he ' s traveled the U.S. from East to West as mucn as he has from North to South. Roma: How fortunate he is. And I ' ve been stuck in Manhattan all these years. Did you know that Cornie Crosier is new chief lion tamer for Ringling Bros. Circus? After portraying the part in the class play the life seemed so intriguing that she headed for the nearest cage. You know Lovina Bradley was one of the few lucky girls to grab a man. She ' s been married for 9 years now, and has three of the most beautiful children. She ' s a fortunate girl. Jean: I always knew Lovina was the family type. Say Roma, doesn ' t the orchestra leader look familiar? Can you beat that, it ' s Dave Ball. Hasn ' t he changed? With an alias like Benny and his Trubadores, one of the top five favorites in the country, it ' s no wonder we didn ' t recognize him in the billing. Margaret Maloney, the musician of the class of ' 50, has furthered her education and now is on television. Tonight, Roma, we ' ll tune in channel 6 at 7:30 to see her performance. Roma: Yes, and if you could tune in on your set to the Sheffield Post Office, you ' d see Nancy Cartinelli handing out your mail. She took her position a few years after graduation, and has stayed in Sheffield ever since. Louis Rote stayed in the good old town too. He ' s started a medical practice there and is 25

Kathryn Tiny Moesley Lovina Brad Bradley Donald Don Orcutt Tiny ' s going to join the Waves, to travel afar for many days. We wish you much happiness, Tiny. She was always doing her bit to make her class successful. She is undecided about the field she will enter, but the best of luck in the world, Brad. One of our best basketball players wishes to be a carpenter. Well, Don, maybe there will be a beautiful farm in your future. Good luck. Time: I960 Place: New York City PROPHECY Arriving at Grand Central Station from Idaho is none other than Jean bidelinger, who has spent the entire trip reminiscing. She hasn ' t been jiast since graduation and wants to see some of the old sights. As she recalls the names of those in the class of ' 50, she is reminded that Roma Weser is living in New York, and calls her from a booth in the station. Roma: Jean: Roma: Hello. nS! 11 ? Red » y° u s °und Just the same after ell these years. Why Jean Sidelinger, I ' d recognize your voice anywhere. This is the surprise of a life time. Where are you? How long are you here for? You ' ll stop up ana see me, won ' t you? 24

Jean: Roma: Jean: Roma: Jean: doing a thriving business. n Remember what a great actress Tiny Moesley used to be? Well, she s greater than ever now, and takes a character part in a playhouse. Look for her pictures as one will soon be released. Russ Upton I heard, has a booming business baok in Sheffield. He really followed through his ambition. As I can remember he talked of being an undertaker years ago. You oan be sure Upton will always let you down. What have you been doing since graduation Jean? After working for a few years in Great Barrington I thought I ' d like to see a little of the country. Idaho was so likeable I decided to stay, and now I own a vacation resort in Sun Valley. How about driving out to see me sometime, Roma? I ' d love to sometime, Jean. I ' m pretty busy back here in New York, but perhaps I can squeeze it in on my next vacation. I ' ve been a private secretary to the president of U.S. Steel Co. here, for the last five years. It ' s been wonderful going back over the years and talking about old times this way, but do you realize that we haven ' t ordered yet, and I ' m starving. CLASS GIFTS To Anita, we give this pen to take rapid dictations when she gets her job with the United Nations. To Tiny, our class athlete, we give this basketball, because you know in this fine sport she is best of all. To Lovina, we give this car, so she may travel near and far. In the event that she may stray, her friends will not be far away. To Laura, we give this motor boat, so o ' er Twin Lakes she may skim with all the speed that she may need, minus the help of oars or him. To Jean, we give a motorcycle, Agnes, when your beau comes over a gadget built for two, and you go out on a (Jate, so when she ' s bouncing over the hills, take this little watch along she won ' t be very blue. so you won ' t get home too late. To Lewie, our class chaffeur, we give this can of gas, so he can always travel far to see his young fair lass. To our nurse to be, Nancy, with a sweet disposition, we give this first-aid kit to help a practicing physician, 26
