arid MOP QC? BY Velma Bristol and Barbara Baker TIME: Summer 1956 PLACE: Lurline Cruise : Just listen to the music of Orval Au- ten's orchestra. He was always a lover of music. Well, well, if it isn't Barbara I see comingtoward us. She is one of those gallant Seniors of '51 from Swartz Creek. : Velma of all people. What have you succeeded in doing to earn such a wonder- ful trip? : I answered one of those long questions on Fred Vasicek's Million Questionsn. You remember Fred, always studying, must be he was composing the questions then. Anyway, he is doing well for him- self on several networks now. And you, how did you get here? : I had a month's vacation with pay plus a bonus so I thought I would kill two birds with one stone and visit my aunt in Hawaii and have the enjoyment of this trip too. She is living over there for a while and she wrote and asked me to come to visit her. She lives near that large Pineapple Grove' of Leland Bush's : Speaking of pineapple, Dorothy Mc- Clung is the proud owner of Dot's Fine Candies the new candy factory that is so widely known. She makes the best candied pineapple. : I always knew she was a sweet girl but I didn't know she would make candy of it. Has she employed any of our old class mates? : Oh yes, Betty Donaski is Dorothy's offical candy sampler, and Tom Lawther drives a truck fromthe factory to several surrounding cities. : Bill Wood was the star football player on the Detroit Lions team last fall and I suppose he will be even greater this fall. : He always did play a good game of football. By the way have you seen this month's issue of Woman's Home Com- panion ? Sally Oesterle's picture is in it. Don't get excited she is not a famous nobel winner but she is a model for New York Stylist, Inc. : She looked nice in everything she wore in high school. That must be the same place where Leatrice Vincent is the hair stylist. She has created several new hair styles. 19 : Oh, by the way Phyllis Curtis is a nurse in Ford hospital. Ijust received a letter from her the day Ileft. She said she enjoys her work very much. : About a month before I left for this trip I smashed the front end of the car but you wouldn't know it now because Dick Delbridge did a perfect job of bumping it out in his bumping and painting shop. : I stopped three days in Philadelphia on my way here to shop around a little. Anna Ocenasek was head waitress at the restaurant I ate at, the Frank's Best the owner is Frank Mokan. : Did you know you can learn to play Polkas in ten easy lessons from Bob Eliason's Studio? He set up this business in the great town of Swartz Creek. : Oh, I almost forgot to tell you that while I was in Philadelphia I went to one of the large churches. Guess who the preacher was. None other than Rev. G.D. Hoag. : When I made reservations at the Traveling Bureau I found Muriel Mor- gan at the receptionist desk and that Dor- othy Spratt was the president's private secretary. : Hazel Taylor is the owner of Taylor's Dairy located in Flint, Michigan. She buys milk from severallarge dairy farms in her vicinity. : So Ihave heard, and did you know that Richard Youells owns a big dairy farm and sells his milk to her. Also, Harold King is one of his herdsmen. : Barbara Pharris owns a grocery store. She sells Taylor Dairy Products and poultry from Beverly Rapps chicken ranch. : Bob Loper is the proud owner of Loper's Wholesale . He is doing very well and is increasing his business over a large area. : You remember how well Sara Watson liked to chew gum. Well she chews gum to her hearts content. For she is the sampler for Ethel Wykes' gum factory. : Well,that must make a lot of business for Dr. .Tim Delbridge. Donna Folts is the receptionist in his denist office. : Iguess we have talked about every- body in our class and they all seem to be getting right up in this world. : The music has stopped and we are back to reality. I hope that our futures are as bright as fortold.
