e. el . . R r GITAHIAN WHO'S WHO I 1956 I had the prophecy on my mind last night And I had jumbled dream, I saw my classmates-all of them- How crazy their lives did seem. lt started off with Georgie Sauble coming down the road in his new Olds --the sixth one. In the car were Mary Louise Roop and her husband. lMary Louise stopped to tell me she was taking her young- est boy, Beau, Jr. to the doctor. Do you know who the doctor was? Richard RinehartQthat was funny because we thought Richard would be a pro- fessor. As I hurried across the street I remembered I wanted sugar so I went into the nearest grocery store, I was surprised to find out that it was called Jim's Grocery, and that James Fair was the proprietor. In the store I met Eisther Albaugh and Frances Houck who were buying groceries for their families. We gossiped for two hours. Esther told me that Dorothy Alexander had married after teach- ing school for six yea s. Six kept popping up all the time----you know how dreams are. Francis Houck had six boys. James was 'bfutting in every few minutes and I learned that Mildred Ingram has be- come a grade teacher at Taneytcfwn School and has the privilege of teaching Gloria Sim,pson's twins. The twins presented Miss Ingram with a dozen eggs for Christmas. On going out of the store I met Edward Sell get- ting out of his bread truck with an arm load of bread. Behind him came Paul Slaybaugh with his dairy products. As I wandered down the street I saw 'Maude My- ers, dressed in her nurses' uniform, rushing into the apartment above the' bowling alley. There, I later found out, Maxine Fream lived, and Bill, Jr. had just swallowed a marble. I kept on walking until I came to a huge business building where Edward Haines was the chief executive and his stenograph- ers were 'busily typing. I identified them as Arlene Clabaugh, Aileen lMyers, lClordelia Mackley and Josephine Hess. I chatted to the girls for awhile and Arlene told me Cordelia was still tormenting Slim by not saying yes. She also told me that Mae Baker was going on in her medical studies, and would probably be a doctor in a few more years. I walked down the street then until I came to a shady avenue and in front of one of the houses I saw Kenneth Rittase in a hammock resting. When I asked him what he had been doing during the ten years since we had left high school, he drawled: Resting Down the street further, I walked into a church and then my dream became hazy. But I am sure I heard George SaLr':'le crooning, I love you truly while Audrey Frock patiently waited for James Fair to find the wedding ring. As I passed the radio studio they were starring the 101 ranch boys with Mildred Roop as their singer. Still furth- er down the street, I happened to glance in the win- dow of a business building and, to my amazement, I saw Betty Linton typing and humming a popular tune at the same time. I was coming to the end of the town and I stop- pefl to admire the beautiful home I saw with a large garage at the side. There I saw Dolores Waddell and her husband ambling about their fiower garden after a hard day's work in the business world. I was becoming tired and had just seated myself by the side of the road, when all of a sudden, I beard the roaring of a well-used car. I knew with- out looking that it was a Hudson and that behind the wheel was sitting Cecelia Fair, dressed in mink and diamonds. She asked me if I wanted a lift and we drove away together recapturing the memories cf our high school days. 23
