H A great event took place In Waterloo, Nebraska, In the Fall of 1957. A new schoolhouse was built. To celebrate this great event a reunion was held on the first day of school. The first person to arrive was Evelyn Bayless, now known as Mrs. Walter Theodore Gates. Mr. Gates was still looking for work. One of the pool tables had been removed In Carpenter’s Tavern so that Father Ted could watch the young ones while Mrs. Gates worked. Also In his spare time Mr. Gates Is teaching his own team (the kids) how to play Basketball. Lenora Smith could not attend because she was working days but her husband Ronald Denker, who works nights as a Baby Sitter, came In her place. Ronald looked very well but he was rather paunchy and sort of beaten up and his knee was bothering him, but other than that he felt fine. Carol Hensen arrived In grand style. Her chauffeur drove her up to the front door. Carol had gathered a tidy little sum from her first three husbands. She had tried Merlin Gerch first but he ran off. In a few months she was married to Henry Kahlandt but they quarreled all the time, so Carol Just had to leave him. Ben Butler was her third husband, but they parted after arguing about whether Ben should play his saxophone or learn to play the accord-lan. As a last resort she Is married to Arthur Jensen, and living very happily In a little 12 room cottage. One of the most popular women there was Frances Eruce. Frances played the politics and became the first woman governor of Nebraska. She hopes to run for president next term on the Republican ticket. Another one of the missing was Virginia Betters. She Is still missing from her last murder. At the pen Virginia is known as the love ’em, kill ’em, and leave 'em woman. She insists on killing men. Merlin Gerch was the Master of Ceremonies. He Is working for the state and Is married to Mona Holfeldt so that he can be near his career. Mr. Hauser and Mr. Porter were there, but they weren’t on speaking terms with each other since Pam and Haven had eloped the week before. The president of the Custodians of Waterloo High School was none other than Ollle Tucker. He has an office all to himself now and has ten men working under him. The Box Social has become an anual event In Waterloo since 1947. Every year Chris Neilson buys a box with a red doll on it. Chris Jensen bids him up one dollar every year but he can afford it since he works for Coy's. We aren't going to say whose box it Is that he buys but her last name starts with N. The exciting day finally came to a close,but next year there will be another reunion and so until then Farewell.
