 What do you know, we have another teacher in the bunch! Come in Virginia Totzke. Hello, I'm a teacher at Western State University, and still going to school to become an official here. I also teach about aeronautical instruments for blind flying. Well, I guess if we want to learn blind-flying we can get instructions from you, and then try them out on Ralph Siewert's field. Ho, Ho! We now are getting into the wetter part of life for Donald Rother- mel is coming on. Aye, Aye, Sirs. I mean, Hi Pals. I'm now Rear Admiral of the United States Navy, and was said to be one of the best who ever sailed the seas. I never believed it, but that's what they said. Say, if you guys still want to see things you'd better join the Navy. Well, 1 better quit, otherwise you'll think I'm giving a commercial. So long gang. Thanks Bud; comes now, Richard Wiley, a captain of the U. S. Coast Guards, come in Rich. Hello! There isn't much for me to explain because you are all quite familiar with the works of the U. S. Coast Guards. I worked my way up from the bottom in this business and finally got up high enough to take it easy. So, if you guys go yachting we're all on hand to rescue you. So long. Well, I guess with a man like you in that service we don't have to worry about not being rescued or about other dangers. Now let me see. Who did we leave out? Hm-m, no one that I know of except Carolyn Kolberg and myself. She's right here so I'll let her tell you about herself. Hello gang, this is your pal 'Shadow' or don't you remember my nick- name anymore? I have been a beautician for a few years but I didn't get any farther because of my marriage. I'm now a housewife, and sometimes a book- keeper so you see this keeps me busy. I see the time is getting short so I'll let Len tell you a few things of himself too, here Len, tell them about yourself. It seems I have talked enough already, but I guess it wouldn't be fair for me not to tell you about myself. I have ten big clothing stores in Chicago and vicinity. When I first started, I had only one store on the west side of Chicago, which was my dad's, but with a bit of advice from him, and planning of my own, I finally got what I wanted. Well, our time is just about up, so enough of that. As you see this class of '43 was a very prosperous one, and I believe you will agree with me, for what they have told you themselves can prove my statement. I have a signing off signal from the switchboard operator of the Blue Network, so to all listening in, we, the Class of 1943 of Stevensville High School, now leave you for an indefinite period.

 Corning on the screen now is Jane Byers. Good evening fellow class members. Ever since I started teaching at the University of Michigan, I have had very little time for myself. During my summer vacations I go to school, although 1 also spend some leisure time at my cabin resort in Canada. We are very proud of you Jane and are very glad you reached the height of your ambition. Now let's see, oh yes, we almost forgot that long-legged guy, Stanley Geipel. Come in Geipel. Hello Geip. Are you still trucking on the highways or now on the dance floor? Hi gang! I’m still trucking, and in a big way, in fact, I have the biggest trucking company in the U. S. The business is just booming now. Now you know that I meant what I said when I told you what I wanted to be. Well, I have to leave you now, a call from Ohio concerning one of my truck garages is coming through. So long, you guys and gals! Well, well if it isn't Vervaine Kolberg, fancy meeting you over at Geipel's place. Yes, you see I've been his stenographer for seven years and now I am a housewife, but I come and give Stan a help whenever one of his girls go on a vacation. You know how it is. I understand, well from what I hear Markwald must be making very much money from Stan Geipel, for I heard that Ervin Markwald owns the Standard Oil Company of U. S. Is this true Ervin? Come in. Yes, Len, you're right, and I must say that Stan is my steadiest and best customer. He gets his stuff pretty dam cheap, because he is also a good pal of mine, and we work on a co-operative system. He trucks my stuff, while he uses it, so its about fifty-fifty. I think you two have a darn good idea there, it just goes to show that we are sticking together even if we aren't in school anymore. I am now calling in two opera stars. You probably know who I mean. Hello, yes, you guessed right its us, the Machan Twins. Our dream has finally come true. We are now both in a new opera in New York City. It has been a great deal of fun getting this far and now that we are on top it's still better. I'm glad you feel that way, and if we have some time left we all would like to hear you sing. So keep in touch with us. Well, let me see, it's hard to remember everyone, here's one and he's a big one in aviation, although he's small in stature—Robert Kuball. Hello Kids!! I like to call you all 'kids' cause it makes us all feel younger you know just like in school. I am now an aeronautical engineer in the biggest plane factory in the world, like my job and I'm happy to be what I am. Bob, if it weren't for you America would never be where it is in aviation. We thank you greatly for it. Page eleven
