didn't know just what Wi11ie's specific job was, but he knew Steve would enjoy hearing about Willie. In the first few months of school amidst- all the usual humdrum of school life, not one member of the Class of 1954 had been omitted from discussion concerning or origin ating from school. This proved that although they had long been graduated, their old schoo1 ties of friendship still invisibly bound them together in memory. By Jean Whitney, Helen Buck, Robert Carangelo

That night, Iohnny's mother, Donna Burman Gelatt, knocked on the neat little ranch house door with P. Dobon's name on the front. All in all, Mr. Dobon had a modern farm, she noticed as she quickly glanced about. She wondered if this was where those famous cows, Tillie and Flossie had been raised. The door was opened by Mrs. Dobon. Mr. Dobon was working on his tax report in his study. Dobon: my son Johnny tells me that your son--why Pete, Pete Dobon--I didn't know it was you! The rest of the evening was spent in discussing their classmates. Marion Rebich, a farmer's wife, lived in an 'attractive white house a few miles up the road. Marion had told Pete the day before that Marjorie Novak had found an excellent secretarial job in Binghamton and was becoming tops in her profession. June Lee was working in Wilson Memorial Hospital. When Pete's daughter had had her tonsils out, June had been her nurse. Since Iohnny's black eye had healed, nothing exciting happened in school for nearly a month save the usual paper wads, airplanes and kid pranks. One day, a school alumnus came to put on a show for the school for the benefit of the annual polio fund. He was Joe Galoni, an unusually interesting comedian. His juggling act with Girdon Buck was especially tops with the young audience. The night before. Joe had visited 'Girt' at the new ranch on Buck's farm, and Girt had agreed to help Joe the next day. After school had been dismissed, Joey examined the new school. When he came to the fourth grade room he noticed that someone was busy at her desk. He recognized Norma and after exchanging greetings, Norma asked him over to her house for supper. She announced that Dave Glover, her husband had just come home from the Marines and was planning to settle down and farm. Dave had heard that Barry Martin was really reaching for the tops in the Marines. He enjoyed his work and made a good officer. One day in school, a sign appeared on the bulletin board announcing a coming speaker in the new Baptist Church at Starrucca. Reverend Jimmy Byrne, the pastor, had invited as guest speaker Miss Jean Whitney, a missionary known for her energetic lectures. Rev. Byrne's wife fmmerly Helen Buck, would assist with the service. Helen was a great help to her husband by doing secretarial work for him. The next day in school, Mr. Stephen Saulo, a farmer whose pastime was to teach new basketball and baseball maneuvers to young boys, visited the high school. That night one of the boys went home and told his father of the wonderful coach they had. His uncle, Emery Thorn, had just come back from Chicago. Emery was glad to hear about Steve. He told his nephew to tell Steve that he had a truck-driving job, and had driven to California, Texas, and Canada. By a stroke of fate, he had had to deliver a truck load of electronics equipment to Houston, Texas, where William Bechtlofft was working in a new electronics engineering laboratory. The work was secret so Emery
