efagg qDro.PgecgO Upon graduation from dear old Victor High School the class of Nineteen Hundred Forty-eight decided that 20 years hence, they would hold a grand reunion, at a place to be designated at a more convenient date. Je will new imagine that the date has been set, the place of union decided. Let us look in on the group. The time is May, 1968, the placc: The home of Mr. and Mrs. Dwane Clarke. Mrs. Clarke is the former Miss Joy Brown. The group is having a very merry tire, but upon close observation changes may be noticed in the vembers of the croup of former happy-go- lucky hi-schoolers. The life of the party, as aluays, is Doctor Larry Briggs, Pro- fessor of Mathematics at the well-known Podunk University, an institu- tion established especially for dim-wits and morons. Over in the corner of-the room, in his favorite game of poker, we see Bill KDare-devill Amos, he is now a race car driver at the noted Indianapolis Hsoou. Altho' he has teased death on the race track doz- ens of times with mishaps, blll recently had a narrow escape when he was nearly electrocuted while playing with his son's electric train. Across the card table from Mr. Amos, and not doing badly in the game, we find that little red-haired charmer, Viola Schwaderer. She is a private secretary for Mr. J. Z. Popensteimer, owner of a fur store in Hollywood. She likes secretarial work very well. The two other participants in the game are Carroll Mansfield and Bill Covert. These two have been very successful in their pursuit of business. They are now co-owners in a large ranch and specialize in the raising of very fine guinea pigs and ducks. Of all the members of the group, these Let us now about each other enthusiastically the group Irene was very pleased two bachelors seem the most contented. look at the little group of people closely huddled in the center of the room. A very cozy little group discussing their troubles and adventures. we find in Menager, She always wanted to be a seamstress, and when she was presented with the wonderful opportunity of working in the HLeen overall factory!! Another of the group is Marian Riley. She is continually tapping her fingers on the table, or anythlng else handy. Perhaps it is a light hangover from her job as typist and secretary for the president of the Flmtz Brewery. lConcluded on next page?
