Mary Ellen is a fashion expert in New York City, and in her spare time she designs hair fashions Tom Nelson isn't married yet It's been going around that he has popped the question to the Gipe girl that graduated a year after he did Tom now goes by the name of 'Elvis Nelson since he lives in Hollywood Yes, Tom makes movies now His greatest are the motion pictures of Shake speare's best plays Tom always did love English Literature! Then there's John Schroeder, or maybe I should address him as Dr Schroeder Dr John Schroeder, the brain of the '57 Class, is a great math ematician and scientist He invented RKIOX the guided missile that w s to be powerful enough to go as far as Antartlca Well it was pcwerfu all right for it passed that continent and came all the way back to the testing grounds in Nevada' Sandra Greever, better known to all as Sandy, is now married and is helping raise other children besides her own four boys You see Sandy still has her love for children and teaching, so she has combined them both into a day nursery for children aged from one to four She tells me she finds it quite hard to keep track of all those kids I think she had better ask her The woman hater of the group was Larry Irvin That was in '57l Now he is continually surrounded by girls, and he loves every minute of it But you can't blame the girls any because when they see him in his uniform they fall head over heels in love with him By the way, Larry is a Lt General in the Army I'm sure you can count on the '57 Seniors gathering ver, sfon at Strahan if you would like to see them You see, it is May again, and there is just something about this air! :?.5 x G5 Ti' W e H .. . , 9- friend Dr. John to help with the counting of heads at mealtime. x 'Q UI v'l s. , ' ,' s -
