SENIOR SLA SS le ie KO) i? Int is Ce V2 1520 E, 14th Madison, Wisconsin June 20, 1956 Dear Miss' Waite: The fifth annual reunion of the Senior Class of 1951 was held at my home on beautiful Blue Lake in Wisconsin. Allof my former classmates attended, among whom were Pearl Klein, the wife of Bud Ragland, a New York park leaf-raker; James Hudelson, the manager of the ‘Florescent Socks’ baseball team; Gladys Nygaard, the wife of Keith Dyer, a prominent New York street cleaner. Also Gerald Alsman who is the chief peanut cracker for Planters; Roberta Simonsen, the Coach of the Bloomer Girls at Yale; Ruth Ann Smith, a pint-sized midget ‘barker for the famous East Coast Shows; and last but not least Earl Graham, a cracker salter for the Nabisco Cracker Company were present. The people who attended from the West were more numerous: first of all there is a good friend of all who owns the 'Pear-pickers Football Team , Bud Plummer; Zelma Braley, a white collar worker for a glue factory; Fred Jensen who didn't leave the old stomping grounds, but who is now the Hammond garbage collector; Albert DeHaven, ad writer for the ‘Hammond Gazette'; Shirley Combs, a stuffer of pills into pale people at the Columbia Hospital; Dick Williams, head engineer of a firm building a dam on the Shipanon River; and Charles Hansen, the comber of peacock tails at the Portland Zoo. From Seattle, Washington we find Ronald Doney who is a Top Sergeant in a company recruited from the freshmen boys in W.H,S. We also find Eugene Gray in the Army as a Sergeant; Doris Robertson is chief manicurist at Madam La Monty's Ladies Saloon. Of course there is Harley Crowder who is a shoe string salesman. We are sorry that you were unable to attend the reunion, but we know that you have been busy teaching school at our Alma Mater, “Warrenton High School , and helping Dorothy Willener in your spare time, with her home work from the first grade. Sincerely yours, Marjorie May
