.- V- feud poem This is a little story About the class of ' 56 There're lots of things we could write But we'11 not tell all our tricks. We gathered at the school house In the year of '44, Our eyes bright and sparkling Who could ask for more? But as the years want by Some moved and we were sad, Then we'd gain some new ones And we were always glad. At last we're nine in number Only three of us are girls, You see who wins our arguments Of course, the ones with curls. We aren't so very tall Or wide as you all know But we're always ready To get right up and go. We, like the rest of you, Don't always agree But it all works out And we're happy, you see. Twelve years we've struggled And done all our work,f And longed for the time We could sit backfand shirk. Now as the time Comes close to the end, We know not for sure Which road will win. We hope we choose well In our struggle and strife, And will serve our fellow men In all roads of life. Gur parents have lectured us Almost every day, In hopes that we wouldn't All be led astray. So its our hope in life To fullfill every wish And have all of you think We're some SWELL DISH.

00 15413 - Class Pr0Phe0V April ao , 1976 Dear Mr. Duncan, I don't know if you remember me or not, but I used to be a part of the graduating class of '56 which you sponsored at Wallace. I just found out yesterday what they were all doing and thought you might like to hear the latest. My family doctor sent me to a large clinic in Indianapolis for a medical check-up for some insurance papers. He told me to see Dr. Frazier. Well , I gave it no other thought, so when I walked into Dr. Fraz1er's office, you can imagine my shock. You guessed it-it was our boy David. Instead of a medical check-up we sat down for a quiet talk. He told me he'd specialized in heart surgery. He married a nurse from one of the hospitals at which he took his internship , and had two lovely children. He said as his business was heart surgery he wanted a nurse who had some training in that line. About that time I heard a swish of a crisp uniform and his nurse appeared. When I heard myself saying, Janet Carpenter, she slowly grinned and said,nJanet, but not Carpenter, but Brown.u I was really surprised to to hear Janet was married and had two boys and a set of twin girls. I still can hear Janet saying' I'll never get married' back in high school days. Just then the receptionist appeared and said, 'Lawyer Bowen to see you. ' Well I knew then that it could be no other than Richard, our great president for at least one half our high school career. Some elderly man had died, supposedly of a heart attack,and Richard was in to see if David had found out.1f it was a heart attack or murder. When Richard appeared I said , uHello, PeeWee.n He told me that he wesu't marr- ied yet, which came as a shock. He said he, N always wanted to keep a lovely secretary and didn't want any wife to be Jealous.n I d1d'nt know then that, before the morning was over, practically all the class of '56' would soon be in Dav1d's office. It seemed that all the class relied on David as their family doctor and drove for miles to see him. As I was trying to get over my amazement and shock I heard a lot of noise which sounded like kids. Richard excla1med,nOh noi' and David sa1d,uSend them in.n we all remember how well Carol Weaver liked kids. Well , she now has twelve lovely children. I was really surprised to see how expenslvely they were dressed. I soon learn- ed Carol had hooked some millionaire, and she really lived in style.
