CIIIQI' Class rc IEC? It was in the early summer of the year 1969. I had just re- turned from a tour through England, when a great desire came to me to visit all of my old schoolmates with whom I had spent many years, especially the class of '48, The first person I inquired about was Berneice Demers only to find that she had become the only girl member of Carmen Cavellario's Orchestra as a guitarist. The next person I inquired about was Dorothy Luft. Such a time I had locating that lady. Let me tell you something--that damsel had changed her name 6 times in 7 years and then settled down to a quiet life In order to get South Dakota where I over the head of her as a music teacher. a glimpse of Connie Schroeder I had to go to found her swinging a mean-looking rolling pin husband, for it was half-past twelve and he had not the dinner ready yet. You wouldn't blame her, would you? The next person I located was my old friend Norma Spooner who lived in a stately mansion in Kansas. As I approached her house I was awe-struck at the sight before me, for there sat the dear lady on the porch, a white cat at her feet and a serene look on her brow. Who would have thought Norma Spooner would become a spinster? The shrill cries UAway with menu which came from a parrot on her shoulder seemed to please the lady as she smiled and nodded. In a little out-of-the way town near Housten, Texas where the train stopped for water I found Edward Schenatzki in a small but thriving business--yes the barber business. I talked with Ed and learned that James Brazel, another Senior of 'NS was in El Paso, but he declined to tell James's occupation which I was to find out for myself. when I arrived in El Paso the famous Rodeos were on, which I visited that afternoon. Here I found out the reason why Ed had asked me to come to the Rodeo and why he wouldn't tell me in what business James was employed. James was billed as the star rider and after the thrilling event he hurried over to talk to me. He told me the old Ford riding Broncs proved got a little tame Cin the Junk-Yard? and to be a more reckless way of living. The next stop I made was down in Mexico. Here I located another prominent member of the class of 'k8, Robert Meseck. It seems Bob had started to look for his perfect mate and ended up down in Mexico to get a gander at the gay Senioritas. while there he set up a small business--the donkey taxi business. I found that he accompanied his customers and entertained them on the way by his singing.
