Allen is now building modern homes. Bob Braden has been promoted from a gardener in the small town of Burghill to the White House in Washington, D. C. Bertha flew in last night in her private jet from the big city of Chicago where she is a Metroplitan Opera singer. Jacqueline Englebaugh is working for a French dress shoppe in New York and can now afford to import all her clothes from Paris, France. Some are really doozies ! !! Dinner is over and we spend the afternoon getting reacquainted. Things have certainly changed since we graduated in 1956. Janie Scott CLASS SONG The end of twelve years of study nears, That leaves us with memories true Of joy and sadness brought to mind Of the Vernon High we once knew. Refrain For old times sake, my friend, For old times sakeg we'll always gather Up our memories for old times sake, Should Vernon High never be forgot, And memories brought to mind? Should Vernon High never be forgot, And the joys that we've left behind? Tune- Auld Lang Syne
