Genevieve rose slowly, dressed in a pale blue garb of smart choice. Her lovely ash hair coiled around her head in a huge braid. Nwell, with a slow past time, I shall make this as quick as possible. Shortly after my first husband died and left me with a large inheritance, I realized a loneliness and emptiness that was like to nothing I had known before. I thought of others who were as lonely as I, so I decided to give my life to society and social work. The Lanswith Foundation of Lonely Hearts was founded by me in the memory of my dear departed husband. I have faired well by it, as I have met many eligible men through my own organization. At least I have been married three times since then.H ' NGreat,N laughed Hubert. UO1e'bean, YOUYVO,f8iPGd1Ni1lo I'd.spy not too well for the jokers, though. That reminds me of a story the President told me.N WTWO Britishers were standing discussing a beautiful woman that had just walked in front of them. The first said, 'Oh yes, she is beautiful. Been married four times. First time she married a millionaireg second time, an actor, third time, a minister, and fourth time, an undertaker.'U UOh, I undcrstand,U replied the second gentleman, UOne for the money, two for the show, three to make ready, and four to goin It seemed that tonight was a night for laughter and happy memories. Hubert couldn't have been funnier if he were a comedian. Soon all was quiet and Jackie called forth Patsy Lo Magers Yetlings UGrand to be anong my old friends once again. It seems only yesterday,N said Patsy wistfully. 00h for the youth and carefreeness that I used to know. Now life passes too quickly for anyone to get an understanding of any of his human companionss Best of all, I believe, I know my husband. You see, we work together constantly. Scientists have to pay their debt to society. Their entire life is donated to others for the betterment of hu- manity. Ralph and I are now working on a cure for Luekemia. Our laboratory has been turned over entirely to cover this one purpose. It has robbed many homes of their loved ones, that is why I think it is wise. I guess I have rattled on enough about my cause. Relieve me, when I say that I am sorry. All my spare time is donated to my two children. I am as proud of them as any parent could be. Well, I guess that's all.U Soon all comments died down and Jackie rose once again to call forth Mrs. Rosemary Sachse Fenwell. UGood evening old acauaintances,W smiled Rosemary. WI trust that you are all in good health. I have succeeded through the years so farg I'm owner of a chain of resturants. my husband is partial owner. Sometimes when I am over-come with work he is a great aid to me. My first store was here in Sweetser. Now I have resturants in all parts of the U.S.A. We reside in Sweetser with our family. I'd love to introduce my children to you. They are around here someplace. I hope to become better acquainted with all of you later.U Hubert seemed to be stealing the show with no one objecting much at all. It seemed as though the moment he opened his mouth the crowd had to die laugh- ing!! He certainly hadn't lost his old charm. He rose quickly, and with a flourish he said, nLast, but not the smallest, I have the great pleasure of introducing the Dutchess of Windsor, Miss Nancy Woodmansee.U UThank you, dear people. Many of you are wondering how I became a dut- chess without marrying into the royal blood. I received the gracious honor from the Queen for saving her life many years ago. She was most thankful, and gave me the title, Dutchess of Windsor. The title was long ago abandcd

The honor is too great for me, but I shall try to live up to my titlei' It has changed my life somewhat, but it hasnft sti1l.afriend to every member of the dear old class of you may need me, 1'll be more than glad to give you my At this time, Jackie rose and said, UI think that Earl Turner. Earl is here, but he is too busy to life history, so we're calling on Robert Davis to represented except forth and give his for hin.W WWell,U began Robert, WEarl has many talents. The one in which changed me. I'm El . f,2, and any time assistance.H everyone has now been come do so he is representing himself with now, ispbroddcastingi He is over there in a booth makingzirecording of our evening meeting. He is the disc jockey of the new station WLBC in Swectser. Also, several years ago, he won the national jitterbugging contest for adults. Time has taken its toll on all of us, but I doubt if any of you would know Earl if you were to see him. He now weighs one hundred and forty-two pounds, and what is more, hu has long curly hair. I guess he lost all his weight in the war, but I don't know the true storya Perhaps Earl can come down later and give us all the details of the 'Thin Manln UThank you, Robert, and I believe this closes the part of the program before dinner,U said Jackie, Nalthough something special is coming up after- wards, so until then, you're at your leisure to eat, drink, and be nerrylu At this time the younger children of the alumni appear, dressed alike, and bringing the first of the five course evening meal. While the eating, talking, and laughing continued, the older children of the expgraduates en- tertained the crowd with short skits, songs, poems, etc. After all this was concluded, and-everyone was nearly finished with his dessert, Jackie rose and said, Whiss Wolf, if you would kindly stand and say a few words, our evening would nearly be complete.W Laying down her napkin, hiss Wolf rose slowly to speak. She was gowned in pale blue, which went with her snow white pompadour beautifully. Through the years, she had lost all excess weight, almost to a point of thinness. Even though she had a great many more wrinkles, her eyes still were a snapping blue. UI'm very pleased,N she said, Ute be permitted to speak to all of you again in a group. It seems as though old times were here once again. I treasure many memories-ofthe days gone by, and I know that you do, also. But those days are long past, the old schoolib gone, the old teachers are not here, few friends remain, but friendship never dies. we must not live in the past, but in the future. Only then will we remain young. But I'm no authority on that. I'll have Mrs. Torgerson tell you about that o N WThank you, Miss Wolf,H said Jane with a smile. WI'm oertain.that you are fibbing to me, and I don't know why. I haven't anything to give you. It seems a pity that we had to wait such a long thne to get together. Per- haps it won't have to be so long next time.W Jane seated herself, arranging her gown carefully, her white head bent slightly to show the gray curls on the back of her head. Age has certainly had a good effect on Mrs. Torgerson. Slowly Mr. Torgerson rose to show his appreciation. WI also vish to let you students know how happy I am to see each of you, to see that you are all happy, to see that you have all succeeded. class motto well, 'The distance is nothing, it counts.' A few people find this out too late, You seem to have followed our is only the first step that I'm happy that our class didn't fall into this lot. Oh yes, I hope you hold up better with age than HI - I did. Laughter again floated through the hall, but everyone was quickly silenced by a loud fanfare from Norman Campbell's orchestra. Everyone turned his attention to the front table again, as Hubert rose to speak. UI've been
