still no answer Maybe she isn't home. I go to the car and blow my ener- getic atom horn. This brings results. From the barn comes a woman carry- ing two pails, brimming over with milk. I look again and sure enough it is my schoolmate, Pal Lyon. That is a farmers wife's life you know, and she married a farmer. On farther west I go, and into Wyoming. I see so many ranches, I de- cide I would like to see what a ranch is really like. I stop at a huge ranch house. I go up to the door and knock and knock. Finally someone hollers What do ya want?” I turn around, and to my surprise I see Lee Miller, now Lee Gabel. It seems as if she had talked Eugene into buy- ing this ranch. She always did like to ride horses. She tells me that she spends most of her time breaking horses. After a delicious supper of pork and beans I left for points south. As I speed over the high mountains of Colorado, I begin to feel ill, so when I arrive in Denver, I go to a clinic to get something for the ef- fect of altitude. As I enter the building a cute littl nurse comes smil- ingly toward me. She tells me to open my mouth, stick out my tongue, and she slips a thermometer under my tongue. After regaining my composure I see that it is Nel Miller. She still is single, but said she hoped to get hitched” to one of the doctors in the hospital. From Colorado I go to California. As I go slowly past the University of Southern California campus, I see a face that looks strangely familiar. I stop. He looks my way. Yes, it is Ronnie Schinzel. He tells me he is dean of the science college there. It seems the A's he got in high school achieved for him a great deal. While in Los Angeles I decide to go down to the beach at Santa Monica for a swim. As I am walking along the ocean front I see a photographer taking pictures of bathing beauties. He looks vaguely familiar so I ask a life guard who this photographer is. He tells me it is Dale Lucas. I am indeed greatly surprised and naturally take time to go over to chat with him. He surely did go a long way from the days he was in high school. By this time ray Cadillac is getting worn out so I sell it in Califor- nia and take a plane to Florida. As the hostess tightens my safety belt, I look up to ask a question and recognize my old classmate, Virginia Alt. She was always talking about being an airline hostess in our high school days. When I arrive in Miami I notice a handsome man waiting anxiously at the airport. He looks worried. He comes rushing toward me and asks if the famous movie star, Elizabeth Taylor was not on that plane. After get- ting a good look at him, I see it is my old classmate. Jack Houdersheldt. I did not have time to talk to him long because he was in a great rush to get a big society news story into the leading daily paper of Miami. After a gay time In Florida I decide to return to ray duties as a clerk. The pleasant time I had seeing all of my old classmates of 1951 and talking over with them the good times in S.H.S., will long be remembered. THE EPITAPH OF THE CLASS OF '51 (After Goldsmith) Here lie the good seniors whose genius was such We scarcely can blame it or praise it too much; Who, born for distinction, perfected their mind And,fraught with all learning,gave joy to mankind. They were equal to all things,for nothing unfit. They were pleased with their culture and proud of their wit. They are missed by their classmates, their tea- chers as well. Who their virtues and wisdom now tearfully tell. They died of brain fever, brought on by delight. In their fourth year of age on commencement night. They are glad to be gone to a new world,alack ! I If we could when we pleased, we'd not whistle them back. But let us be candid and speak out our mind. Their equal as students 'twill be hard to find. And in peace may they lie, our good seniors, who now Have taken their finals and made their last bow. (selected)•
