Ten years have gone by-1960-a call for census takers againg and now I find myself do- i the very task that 'we discussed in Mr. Hel- nligltollefs class. First of all I shall call on Mr. Dick Reed. His sweet wife, Sally, gives me a hearty welcome. We discuss old times and then I begin my ques- tioning. Where is your husband employed? Talked. Pittsbugh, she replied, he is taking Ralph Kiner's place with the Pirates. Next, I see a huge building Ryder's Tele- vision Shop. As I remember Elliott, he was the joker of our class. All he has to say is, Televi- sion has improved since we were kids. As I leave Rlyder's Shop. I see a girl scur- rying across the street in a white uniform. Why, it's Jo Ann Parks. What a pleasant surprise! Where are you going? I asked. To Butler Memorial where I am nursing, she replied. Yes, I knew Jo Ann would succeed as the future girl in white. I knew I 'ust had to get some gasoline so I decided to puil up to a .place called Bowser's Filling Station. Yes, I should have known fR.on, what with that cute little mustache and his con- stant search-ing for words. After talkin with Ron, I see three ladies whiting at McEIhattan's corner. After I re- elive a hearty 'welcome from them, I join in their conversation. her josb as Mr. Green's secretary her wedding date for August more so. Frances was the girl who kept me guessing. is working at Troutman's as manager of the department and makes a very good cneck. why she keeps repeating. It Isn't Fair. The third lady, Loretta Novak, has not chang- ed one bit over the years and her sweet person- it still remains. A fine model for Broadway Fhshionsn, as well as, a fine wife for Grant, seems ,wits happy. Who wouldn't be? U Al I o further up the street, a large brick catches my elyc. I look in the back yard, stands Joan Logue, hanging up the Two small children are playing in the I inquire, I find Jack is busy work- and O. station. I always knew she would have a hasppy life. While visiting with Charlotte. I find she is her husband, Dean, happy and is teach- students a good course in Math. I hear 1t's nice that they both are inthe same They will have bright children! Betty Lowers is the girl who got a long way with her sense of humor. She makes a swell IQIIOOI teacher. The students think they may lose hefsoon, for it seems the title, Mrs. Texter, in- tdtlists her greatly. I was passing the football stadium, I secretary, and that Ed is still taking up her spare Ime- After leaving the game, I meet Naomi. Just as I expected. she is happily married to Bob Wile. Naomi says Bob operates his own gasoline sta- tion.. As for Naomi, she said, something about building an extra room on their -beautiful home. I wonder why? Next, I cross the .street and the sign at the Petersburg Opera House catches my eye. The 0DeI'99 'Something Tells Me, is showing. It is starring Betty MeElhattan, Mezzo-Soprano, and Wesley George Henglem, baritone. They have gained much success in the operatic world. Who would have thought-these two young people would ever star in a serious role! .After I passed the opera. I see Phyllis Nevel getting out of a Buick. It's a newer model than the one she once rode in, 'but it's still a Buick. I.talk to her an-d find that she plans to be mar. med in a few months. I told her that by the next census she would 'probalbly have a family, so Pd see her then. The next place I count noses i th P I D Ashhaugfh home. How many noises edidml fm: That s right, you guessed it! There are two, Paul Dean and his little wife, from Turnip Hole. I-Ie ig Sales Manager of the largest steel mill in the world according to -his story. I don't find anyone at home at the next house, but on the way .back I see a neat young man go- mg up the walk. He is Bob Kunkle. From our in- teresting conversation, I draw the conclusion that he IS. still a Romeo. 'He is a famous aeftor starring in the recent release, Kiss Me. . Glancing through the window of a beautiful white house with greenshutters, I see Margie Horton. I find that she is earnestly correcting typing budgets, shorthand characters, and busi- ness letters. :She enjoys her career as a com- mercial teacher. Across the street I see a large white sign on the door of a little home. With my curiosity aroused, I go over to read the notice. It reads as follows: Left for Key West to have a conference with Harry S. Truman. The signature at the bottom of the notice was that of the politician of the class of '50, Shirley Page. While ringing the doorbell of the next house, I notice Edmond Fichte's name on the door plate. After inviting me in, he tells .me he has just re- ceived his liqen-se to be a Mechanical Engineer. Since -he now has Aa job, he plans to marry a nurse. Guess he remembers the girl he took to the iproml After leaving the city, I find myself speed- ing along a country road. In the lawn of a big white farm house, I see Harriet. She was wear- ing a diamond ten years ago, and I learn she has been wearing the other ring for some time. What a gran-d success our class of '50 has had throughout the short time of ten years- politicians. teachers, mechanics, wives, a ball to stofp at the game. There is La Donna cheering for her beau of High School davys Koos-. I find that she is a very successful player, secretaries, sales manager, business men, nurse, clerk, actors, actress, and farmers. May our future continue to be a bright one! is ni JN ctx
