The (;lass of 40 s Reunion — Continued McCauley, the enamic basketball coach of “So and So” college; and Don Kinsey, the “marble” coach at “What Cha Call It” college where his collection of marbles mounts and mounts. Two teachers now arrive, one the English teacher at Oakland High, Miss Dorothy English; and one the commercial teacher at Baker Business College, Aileen Irons. A car load of eratic vaudeville stars now appears. This group consists of the exotic tap dancer, Idonna Ward; the beautiful vocalist Juanita Cheney; the expert baton twirler, Cherry Davis; and Jean Ann Richards with her famous dog training act. We now take heed of the married couples trouping in, those appearing in this group we recognize instantly are Iris Taylor; Beverly Lay; Betty Jo Crabtree; and Marjorie Jackson. The heart throb editor on the weekly “squeek” is appearing down by the old fire station. Her name is Miss Marjorie Cobb. She has an assistant editor along with her; his name, James Dean. The second bus of the day stops to unload none other than Shir-lee Galle, who is well-known for her fine pie recipes; Elmer Bates, who runs a radio station in Wyoming; Both Dodds and Ada Edvalson. co-authors of many famous plays; Marie Wright, the assistant secretary to the big shot in the east; Edward Bates, the manager of Barny Circus Company; and Leona Stonedahl, the co-owner of the Horseshoe Dude Ranch. Now that everybody is gathered and beginning to have fun on this sunny May Day, what do you suppose happens? The rains come and so the class of ’40’s reunion disburses till 1951 when they’ll meet again on a sunny day in May, on the close mowed grasses of Union High School. -23-

Hie ( lass of 40 s R cunion This is a sunny day, In the month of May, That I do say, Hear Ye, Hear Ye! The Class of ’40 is holding its annual reunion in the shadows of the Union High School’s large fir trees. The date is May 13, 1950 Nine such reunions have happened before. As the first bus load from the west stops, we note that the driver is Charles Holcomb, the old basketball star. The first person to traverse the steps down to the beautiful lawn, which ye clde janitor, Dennis Fuller had just mowed, is Miss Willma Hutchinson, the famous violin player, in Mr. Kenneth Mills’ symphony (sympony). The second person who is honored to step down the bus steps is Carl Schlichtig, who is on leave from the U. S. S. Racket. He brings with him a couple of so called gobs, Misters Melvin Smith and Charles Wright. As the bus drives on with a new driver so Charlie can attend the reunion, we glance up the street to see the farmer from High Valley, namely, Donald Edvalson. What’s this beside him, well if it isn’t his cute little wife, Marceille Alexander. Right behind Donald, who is driving 26 miles an hour by the electric eye at the end of the block, is the famous state policeman, Kenneth Hoyt. Oh, Oh, here ccmes the bunch from the hospital. This gang consists of those famous nurses, Betty Jo Bell, Barbara Counsell and Thelma McMaster and the famous doctor, Noel Robinson seems to be along with them- We glance up from where we are gathered around the lemonade stand to notice that the brilliant motorcycle stunt man and his associates are coming into town by the South highway. These two people are Lewis Ingram and Barbara Conley. We also notice Audrey Anderson and Ehrman Davis coming from the opposite direction riding thoroughbred horses, which are supposed to able to run. The reunion seems to be coming along fine but it should be better as soon as the magician, Bill Vaughn appears on the scene. Ah, there he is now. Also those three coaches known wide and near arrive. They are as follows: “Choc” Shelton, the football coach at “Screwball” college where he has turned out many winning teams; La Verne -22-
