I dimly recalled many figures in long white dresses and blue coats with rosebuds in lapels-this must be the day after graduation. I glanced at the calendar. It was 1960! I had slept twenty years! ! On fully recovering my senses I dressed and hurried out into the street. As I neared the center of town, there stood looming skyward before me a strange building with huge letters on top of it spelling out recreational centre. Was it possible that Sykesville had seen its dream come true? But my thoughts were interrupted by a voice at my elbow- Well, if it isn't old Rip Van Clarke! I glanced at the speaker and in spite of his uniform and shiny brass buttons I recognized him. It was none other than Russell Egolf, evidently the town cop. 'K Well, said I fretfully after a warm greet- ing, don't I receive any notoriety for my long sleep? But Russell only replied that Howard Bidinger had slept through four years of high school and was still unconscious. Thus was my record eclipsed. Yet as I was to see, I could feel justly proud of my classmates. Having no job and since this was a 10th year, I straightforth applied for the job of Census Taker. Much to my surprise I got it and began making my rounds. Confidentially, this is what I found: Jane Booty-Nursing a rich playboy. Dorothy Hughes-Working in her own Beauty Shoppe. Evelyne Hungerford-Still being pursued by her many suitors. Margery Kuhn-Always present in the Nick of time. Virginia Lee-Still receiving letters from the marine bases. Peggy Lee-Working as private secretary for J. P. Morgan. Jean Lyons-Ambition at last achieved. CMarriage.j Mary Rehbein-Still preferring blondes. Roby Barnes-In partnership with Walt Disney. Leonard Celmer-Still talking about Fords. Leon Etzler-Finally over his fickleness and settled down. Jack Harris-Head surgeon at University Hospital. John Heeter-Still reading in his leisure time. James Hughes-Riding Sea Biscuit's son in the Kentucky Derby. Donald Miller-Building a home in Flohrville. Mary Arrington-Taking part in a Pannell H discussion. Freda Baile-Still dancing the square dance at Westminster. Martha Chenowith-Still being bothered by Eugene. Frances Gardner-Spending much time reading telegrams from Wash- ington. Margaret Glass-Drawing cartoons and giggling. Doris Grimes-Touring the state on Barnes' bus. Marthe Hobbs-Setting new typing records. Mabel Hooper-This time it's real, not a birthstone. Theresa Hush-Still interested in astronomy. Clf you know what we mean.J Anna Myers-Wearing a certain boy's ring plastered with Hnger-nail olish. p Martha Schmidt-Keeping up on all the new dance steps. Agnes Naurot-Flitting about with a real diamond. CNot a 10c one.j Berniece Shipley-Undecided between the Oldsmobiles and Fords. Elaine Spurrier-As eflicient as ever in commercial work. Naomi Trott-Flying into the blue with her blonde aviator. Virginia Koller-Doing well as a stenographer at Gas and Electric. Eugene Morris-Still looking for the perfect girl. Howard Smith-Grown up. Elizabeth Paynter-This time it is not a false alarm, she's really married. Ardelle Tawney-Riding in a '60 Mercury, up-to-date as usual. Edward Granger-A second Thomas Edison in the field of electricity. Rogers Hall-A prominent undertaker of Sykesville. Pennell Jester-An up and coming engineer. .
