Page 10 THE HI-ROCK he was going to play poker three nights out of the week, that he would put the baby to sleep before leaving the house. Bob thought that this was lenient enough, but he didn't realize the patience it takes to put a baby to sleep. The only thing I could suggest was to give him a couple of sleeping tablets. I was living up to my old name Zip'' by suggesting this. I was only thinking of getting it over with as soon as possible and never gave a thought as to how the baby would react to this. Bob was disgusted with me for suggesting such a thing and as he saw he could get no help from me. he hung up after thanking me for my valuable information. I went back to looking over my class picture and had just seated myself when a car drove up with the horn blow- ing. We rushed out to see who it was. To my surprise it was Edward Howe who had finally found a woman and wanted to celebrate. He invited Bob and me down to the Rockwell Hotel and so off we went. We had to park down the street a way because there was such a large crowd. As we walked up the street we met Dorothy Stone. Dick May. Louellia Wood and Karl Irish. As you might have guessed. Dot married Dick and Louellia married Karl. They had a big double wedding and everything has been working out swell for them. The had just come from the Rialto Theater and as they were go- ing no place in particular. Ed invited them along too. We had just arrived at the entrance when a taxi drove up and out stepped Norma Wallace and Irwin Zaltz. If you remember. Norma and Irwin used to have great times in school during their Senior year. I had never realized that any- thing would come of it. but their marriage was proof enough for me. They were going to the Rockwell too and so we invited Ihem along with us. We went inside and started things off with a big dinner and then, as you might guess, a few'' drinks were bought. But then, what’s a party without a little some- thing to drink. Suddenly the door opened and in rushed a crowd of people, among them a young man clinging to the arm of a dark-haired girl. Good Heavens! It’s Fred and Louise! And sure enough it was a wedding party. That afternoon Louise had said yes' and before she could change her mind Fred had whisked her off to the Justice of Peace. After this we started where we left off. Things went along swell and as the evening passed away, more of my old classmates stopped and came into the hotel. Among them were Janice Burt. Miriam Reynolds. Bernice Russell. Douglas Wilsey. Hazel Duell, Ruth Pasco and Mildred Cleveland. Janice had married Bill Stockwell and was living in Glens Falls. Poor Bill was usually left at home to watch the children while Janice went out visiting the hotels. This is to be ex- pected. however, because Janice always seemed to have a great liking for them. As far as that goes Bill did too. bu Janice unfortunately has Bill under her thumb. However, if Bill is the kind of a person I think he is. eventually there will be an upset in the peaceful home of the Stockwells. This will probably be for the best though, and after things calm down once more, the home will probably return to its former peace- ful standard. Miriam Reynolds had married Ray Haskell after a long hard, and dull trip to Texas in the summer of 43. Confident- ually, Miriam still hates to be winked at. I guess she never will get over that. Bernice Russell finally found a man that suited her. She is now the head waitress at the Plymouth Hotel in New York, and condidentially has a beautiful home in the suburbs of the city. Douglas Wilsey. as you might guess, owns a large dairy farm. He always had been interested in that kind of work. When he was taken in the draft back in 43' he was made bugler because he was used to getting up early in the morn- ing. Doug is married to a girl who was brought up on a farm. This makes everything swell because she can understand him which is more than most people can. Well, so much for Doug. Next we come to Hazel Duell. Hazel, if you remember used to get around when she lived in Warrensburg. In fact she still does. She married a fellow named Harry from Glens Falls and is living there with him. She spends most of her time taking care of the twins and doing the housework through the day. bur at night she's her old self again. She and Harry step out quite frequently and make the rounds’ : confidentially they are about as happy as anyone I know. Ruth Pasco comes next. If you recall, she used to carry a torch for James Alger. She wasn't the only one. but she was the one that succeeded in landing him eventually. She has a rather lonely life, however, as he still is in the Navy and Ruth constantly worries over the stories about a girl in every port. Last but not least we come to Mildred Cleveland. Mil dred at one time had a crush on a sailor named Oscar Swin- ton, but nothing came of that. However, she did end up marrying a sailor. It must be something about the uniform. Do you remember how noisy she used to be? Well, she has made quite a bit of progress with her voice. For the last three years she has won the hog-calling championship in Ohio. Yes sir. she sure has gone places with that voice of hers. The party was noisy and gay until the staid married couples remembered their children at home and one by one reluctantly said good-night. Now Knipe and I are left, and if he doesn't get home soon—. Well, we better leave too— goodnight.
