CLASS PROPHECY 31+97 West Street Tampa, Florida May 13, 1970 Dear Audrey, In reply to your letter ask- ing me about our classnates and their professions, I am happy to say that I visited with most of them recently at an Alumni Banquet. Sorry you were unable to come to it. I guess Barbara Coffin, now THE MRS. JEROME REISDORFF, is kept pretty busy taking care of husband and children. Barb has five red-headed sons. Barb always did have an eye for those red-heads. I was more than pleased to see Donna Eller appear in a nurse's uniform. When I ques- tioned Donna as to where she was working, she told me she was now head nurse for a brain specialist in New York City. Seems as though she would get awfully lonesome in such a big city, but she told me she has never a lonesome moment. No Sir.' Not as long as Norman Gabel has an Art Gallery in the Bronx. She also informed me that at the present time Mr. Gabel is over in Paris where his much-wanted pictures are on display. I was surely glad to hear that Norman has put his talent to use. I guess that a wed- ding isn't too far away,by the looks of Donna's ring. Norman always did have a gigantic crush on Miss Eller. Eugene Bernt stuck around his hometown, Shelby, I under- stand. He has a big 640 acre farm, and to top it all off, he even hasitall fenced in white. I guess he farms it all by him- self too. Imagine how you'd feel living on a big farm like that, and having it fenced in white.' Bud always did go for farms in a big way. Sounds as if most of the Class of '55 have their dreams more than fulfilled. As for me, well, I've been pretty busy myself. I gradu- ated from the Miami College a year ago, and Just moved to Tam- pa, where I will teach in the high school. Moving can be quite a Job, and I got myself rather worked up about it,but I wouldn't have needed to because I had one of Gerald Hopwood's vans move me. Jerry has a van-line known all over the United States.The van-line business must be pretty good because as I understand, Jerry has retired from eva'ything but the directorship. I'm very anxious for next week to come. Gary Bemis, now a jazz band leader, is coming to our town. When Gary isn't jazzing up the town, he is off taking care of his large Black Angus herd. I guess his dreams have come true too. Well, I guess that takes care of every one but you. How do you like your full time job? I'll bet being a secretary is a job, let alone taking care cf your two children, but ItLL bet you enjoy every minute of it. As I'm all out of news, I will bring this to a close, hoping to hear again from you soon. With love, Eileen P.S.I surely hope you and your hubby can come to our wedding. Howard and I have set the date as early in June,only two mon- ths off. Spectator Editor Eileen Linton Business Manager Barbara Coffin Annual Editor Audrey Kallenbach 9

FROM SMALL BEGINNINGS GREW THE SENIORS CLASS HISTORY During the fall of '$leLght freshmen, three boys and five girls, started their four years of study in Shelby High. Coming from rural schools were the other six freshmen: Barbara Coffin from District Number 1; Donna Jean Eller,52; Norman Gabel, 15; Eugene Bern II4.; Gerald Hopwood and Audrey Kallenbach from District 67. At the beginning of the Soph- omore year, Gary Bemis, from Rising City High School, .loined the class, and at the beginning of the junior year, Eileen Lin- ton, from Gresham High School, came to Shelby. Since both girls from the Shelby Elementary School,Marian Ransom and Betsy Reeder, left Shelby in their junior year, this is probably the first class to be graduated from Shelby Hl£i without any students from the Shelby district itself. 8
