This is the year 2004. The Class of 1954 is holding a reunion at Conn Dam. The first to ar- rive are those two brave men who were our class presidents during the senior year, Eddie Salvestrin and George Bukow. As you all know, they are opposing candidates for the Presidency this year, and George is wearing his campaign pin which reads, Change your lucko, vote for Bukow. Eddie, being more modest, has for his campaign slogan, Try my spaghetti, and you'll vote for Eddie. Next to arrive are our energetic vice-presi- dents during the last year of our confinement, Sue Farris and Richard Shurtz. They came in Rich's merry Oldsmobile, which is now one of the most unique museum pieces in Northern Califor- nia. Suzie is now an industrious housewife kept busy by eight children, and Rich is the proud owner of a winery near town. Now arriving is Roxetta Bostrom, our class secretary and winner of the 1999 Miss Universe Contest. Barbara Slavens, who was our other secretary, now has a permanent iob at the high school writing out senior announcement receipts. We also see Betty Britton, our trustworthy treas- urer, arriving on the grounds sporting her Italian haircut, a fad which she has been trying to revive fthe trend is now pigtailsl. Slowly but surely, the other members of the class are wandering in. Here we have Har- land Morley arriving on a little orange scooter. He claims that there is nothing like exercise to keep up your school-boy figure. Behind him, splashes Marti Autenrieth, who developed a new stroke for swimming in air. ln passing, we must not forget our two yell- leaders, Barbara Brown and Marcella Werle, whose pep and sparkle brought widespread fame to the St. Helena High School cheering section. Their appearance here now will again invigorate their former classmates. What's this? Turn up that radio! Anita Santa Maria's latest recording is on the air. SENIOR She wrote the lyrics herself to that old favorite, I'll Be Down to Get You in a Spaceship Honey. She has really made a name for herself. Well, look what we have here! Roy Ray- mond and Ray Shurtz have iust pulled in riding in Roy's brand new purple Jaguar pick-up. Having been inseparable since high school days, they have become successful owners of the now flourishing San Francisco Seals. Mike O'Neil, a newcomer during 1954, has bought a large share in the Ford Corporation. He finds it cheaper than buying new cars every few months. Nancy Cary, the greasemonkey who has her own garage, is still supporting her husband who is trying to perfect a crash-proof motor- cycle. She is arriving with Cookie Mandin, the well-known scientist who has taken over Ein- stein's old laboratory. Cookie has iust invented a fool-proof studying method. It consists of an electronic device which is put in the ear and which plays records of study material all night long. There is only one catch: one can remem- ber the material only when he is asleep. Here comes Elsie Guigni and Aline Mosley, co-owners of the Smudgy Cigar Factory. They are both married and kept busy by their mis- chievous offspring. Next to arrive are Arlene Sullivan and Ray Torres, who are now appearing at the Fairmont Hotel co-starring in The Return of Valentino, or Our Latin Lovers. A little later, they have agreed to entertain us with their ever-famous Dear John Letter. Shirley Johnston is now a world renowned dressmaker. She discovered a way to feed sheep so that their wool turns a plaid color and needs no special dying. Mary Laura Bulotti is well-known in two parts of the world. In the winter she teaches trick skiing-on your head-to professionals, and in the summer, she teaches the rumba to South Sea Island Natives.

REUNION Mary Rose Aspesi, with the aid of Senor Coates, has published the book, Frio Tomale and Warm Beer, a best seller in recent years. Bob Trinchero, otherwise known as the velvet smog, is crooning to Joanne Haus, whose screen name is Ophelia McGillicutty. They are currently co-starring in From Here to Oblivion. Mary Ann Van Ryn, the famous interior decorator, has started smoething new in the art world. She has floors, walls, furniture, and drapes fashioned in the color of her hair. She even has a red telephone on the market for those who can afford it. Mason Hoburg, our all-time sport's hero, has now retired to a more peaceful pastime. He is tiddlywink champion of the world. lHe uses loaded tiddlysl. He has also perfected a new two-toned tiddly. Who is that water-skiing on the lake? Why it is none other than Eddie Schulze, the only man in the world who water-skis without skis. Sometimes he has trouble with the fish who know he is ticklish on the soles of his feet. You all remember the rap that Russel Wyer had on his car? Well, the Pentagon is now deeply indebted to Russ. He has invented a smitty for their iet bombers. Behind Russ slinks Eddie Thomas, known to the underworld as Big Ed. He is currently working for the FBI tracking down Paul Mar- cus, known to his associates as the Frisco Kid. Paul is now San Francisco's most dangerous criminal, wanted for a 403-12, overparking in front of a police station. . Susan Talcott has just arrived in her black limousine. Her picture is currently appearing on the front of Charm Magazine as that famous model, Fifi Bijou. Doug Kewell and Joe Betts have iust roared in riding in Doug's newest racing car, Kewell's Jewel. The Jewel is equipped with the latest Diesel engine and its design was inspired by Mr. Ingol's Plymouth. John and George Otterbeck are next to arrive. After leaving high school, both went to Yale. After two hours there, they decided to tour the country, and since then they have be- come proteges of Duncan Heinz. Now we sense that Joan Booker has ar- rived. She is famous for-her ice-water and cookies diet and has become so thin that we know she is here only because she wrote a letter saying that she 'wds coming. Now there seems to,be a ,commotion on the other side of the lake. Well, no, wonder! Jim Farris, alias Flash, alias Johnny Guitar, has finally arrived. Everyone remembers him for his hillbilly songs, and he is now singing with Hillbilly Harold and his Sweet Potato Tootin' Tooters. Mike Debely is now one of California's best-known legislators. He is currently cam- paigning for prohibition and the closing of race tracks. Betty Gwin, who now owns a chain of restaurants throughout Napa Valley, has iust arrived with Donna Luce. Donna was once a secretary, but she became so disgusted with her iob that she invented a robot secretary which can do twice as much work as a human. Ralph Deuer, our great mechanic, who in- vented hot-rods for two-year-olds, is now over by the entrance with Jerry Engeli. Jerry is now an esteemed professor at Harvard working in the Nuclear-Physics Department. He was al- most unable to be with us today due to a forth-coming H-bomb test in the Arctic, but the test was postponed so that he,could attend the reunion. You all remember Leonard Sproston's the- ories about life on Mars. Well, Len has designed a'rocketship and next month he plans to take off for Mars in order to prove that he is right. As yet he has found no one to go with him, and he may have to take a solo flight. At last, the time has come for us to leave the happy group at Conn Dam but not without a 'word of advice, Behave, live it up, and al- ways remember that the only things you can take with you are your memories.
