Rili 1 icklers Jean Parker: I was out motoring with David last night and he had to stop once because he lost his Martha Mvers: Well, at least he was original. All I’ve gone out with run out of gas.

A tic to match his was part of the racket, I knotted my pearls—I s|x rtcd his ring, And all the 'kids said, “Those two arc a thing.” We were a cloudburst—we were a twosome, It’s all over now—isn't it gruesome? Whoever said that a steady was “steady?” He’s somebody clse’s big moment already. (Dedicated to Rosalie Davis) MEN......................... If you smile at him. he thinks you’re flirting, If you don’t flirt, he thinks you’re an iceburg, If you let him kiss you, he wishes you were reserved, If you don’t, he’ll seek consolation elsewhere, If you flatter him, he thinks you’re simple, If you talk of love and romance, he thinks you’re asking him to marry you, If you’re a good girl, he wonders why you re not human, If you return his caress, he doesn’t want you to; If you go out with other fellows, he thinks you re fickle, If Vou don’t, he thinks no one will have you. MEN, God Bless Them, they don’t know what they want. 7

Future Daze I I ER fifteen years we decided to look up the members of the class of “46.” It turned out to be a task and called for a lot of traveling, but we paid each one a visit. This is a reminder, in our diary, of how we found each member. Dear Diary: YVe came to the old home town to start our trip and here we found Main Street quite different. We stopped at the corner drug store and saw Robert Ross, who is still a soda jerk. In here we saw Bob Wallace influencing people to die to keep up his undertaking establishment, so lie could feed the mouths of his hungry family. W e dropped in at the News office to look up some of our class members and we saw David Inman, the cartoonist, for the Sheridan (10 minute special) News. YVe inquired how Mrs. Inman (Jean Parker) was. Here we were sorry to hear Bob Evert had passed away in an accident due to his reckless driving. Buying a paper we read that Winifred YVaitt is still singing in the Methodist Church Choir. It seems her children aren’t old enough to sing yet. As we stopped for gas, who should come to wait on us but Max Haimes. He tells us he is coaching his own basketball team between customers. My, what an attractive family he has, with those black eyes, and black hair. Going out to Kirklin we found Rosalyn Reck sitting at her sewing machine making her new fall suit from feed sacks just emptied by her husband. Then just a short distance down the road we saw Polly anna (Fox) Perry hanging out white shirts. Wonder if Emmett even farms in white shirts? Elizabeth Moredock also lives out this way. She is married now and has the cutest little things around the house, and we don t mean fences. YY hile we were talking to Elizabeth, the mail man came, and who should he be but Elizabeth Arthurs husband. She must have used her father’s influence. Life goes on in Sheridan as we move on to find other members. On our way on Road 38 we found Ladonna Renn acting as hostess at the New reteran’s Home. She’ll be so glad to see all of her old buddies. As her assistant she has Mary Robbins and, you guessed, it. they are still fighting. Bu ing a paper in the city, we read that Bob Anderson found the South Sea Islands so fine after being there in the service, that he stayed and now is teaching the girls to “hula-hula”,, for the Bamboo Club. The paper also said Esther Bilby’s 4-H girls won the National Contest. In Chicago we went through Charles Sutton’s factory. He is doing very well with “Sutton’s Buttons.” Don Harker is the Vice President of the organization, and Oleta Brandenburg is Charles, secretary. YVonder how Charles’ knee is holding out? One night we went to the Blackhawk and ran into George Glunt who is manager of the floor show. And what girls! YVe were sure to pay Harold Nicholson a visit at the YVhite House in YVashington, D. C.. and were entertained in the East Room. Floyd Mundy is Harold’s left hand man. You know Floyd wore his right hand out in high school. All of this was nice and made the class of “46” look good, except Harold is a Democrat. In Maryland we went to John Hopkins to see.Nathan Glenn, who is a surgeon there. YY’hile we were waiting to see him, after finishing an operation, Floraetta Lanham came by. She was rubbng some poor patient’s hand, (a good looking patient, of course). It took us several days to do New York—seems everyone had high ideas. First we met the Graham I wins, and they were having bad luck. The twin sister act is just out of date. From them we learned Rosalie Davis had married an accountant. He surely knew his figures!! John Miller had his Criminal Law Office set up and is doing good business. He is now on the case of Jim Haddock. It must be bad trying to pull an old classmate through. From Nyw York we went to London by plane, and there we were entertained by James Hammer who is the Ambassador for the United States. He informed us that Mary McCullough was in London doing Red Cross work. In Paris we stopped in the Mizzay to buy a hat and found Jane DeVaney modeling them. Then going into India who should we meet but Louis Dunlavey running a swindel shop in the main street. Louis always won in high school. l8
