pmnr ropljesg Here it is. The year 1978, and we are on cur way to visit the class of 1965- They were such a close-knit group that they have established their own town, and run it themselves. I hear that it has quite a reputation!!!! Ah, here we are approaching the town of Jeopardy Junction. The first person who comes into view is the well-loved town marshall.....Greg Burt. He is in the process of chasing Dean Herr and Tom Inman. Seems as if these boys never grew up, and they are in trouble for shooting the respected Marshall' car with their handy little bean shooters. Better run fast boys!!!!! The town is well equipped with all the necessities for living, and a few that are just thrown in for fun. The first shop that is passed as you enter the town is the Barber Shop. Jackie Barber that is. Just going into the shop are Lorrie Speer and Sandy Frette. I see by the sign in the window that they are having a sale on wigs. Watch out!!! Boy, you almost got it that time. Nick Gruber is on his way to work, and when he leaves all the mothers make their kids come in. I've heard that his job is bending signs into shape............with his car!!!!! Here comes the most Reverned Brad Burt. Seems as if he has his hands full trying to convert the younger generation of the town. The local tavern is the next building coming into view. I hear that Reverned Burt has been talking to the owner Linda Giles and her barmaids Peg Kuehl, Gloria Barbieri, and Darlene Andreini. He is trying to get them to chip in some of their time, as well as their profits to the church. There are many big businesses in the town of Jeopardy Junction. On our left is located the motorcycle shop. It seems that the owners Bobbi Smith, and Peg Rees learned quite a bit about motorcycles in their high school days!!!!! The reducing salon seems to be doing a booming business these days. Cheryl Baily and Linda Biery are the two biggest customers, they say that time brings about many changes, but this is rediculous. Oh Well....Onward. It's almost lunch-time, so we decided to take a break and eat lunch at Fred's Pizza House . Best pizza in town-just ask Anita Shaffer or Dawn Mortensen who together weigh a total of 630 bouncing pounds. After dinner we visit the local orphanage. The owners, Shirley Swallow and Terry McCuen always wanted to have large families—-----but 250 kids???!!!??? For physical fitness the town has a health center run by Barb Spencer. Her most interesting member is Linda Diller who is training to become a professional lady wrestler. She hopes to one day make the Olimpics. GOOD LUCK!!!!! Carolyn and her husband own and operate the local grocery store. He owns it and she is the check-out girl!!!!!

Mttnr r o p t sy One famous member of this small town is Larry Little whose famous paintings have replaced the old out-dated ones such as the Mona Lisa and Whistlers Mother . Always knew that there had to be someone in that class that would turn out to be great. We stopped for an afternoon snack at the Soda Shop. The owner, Steve Moser specializes in egg nog!!!! The flower shop is run by Rose Harris who, as her name implies raises the famous flower Harris . She invented it by crossbreading flowers. Her customers, Sharon Harvey and Ruth Hall are looking at the old ancient flowers of the past such as the carnation and the orchid. If you ever have teeth trouble while you are passing through the town, just stop at the orthodontist shop owned by Carol Copeland. I guess she learned quite a bit about braces while she was in high-school. Before leaving this little town, we stop to look at the school created by the class of 1965....What a mess!!!! The superintendent, Gary Stone, has set up a completely new concept in the educational system. The chemistry teacher, Pat Moran just went crashing through the window as a result of a small explosion----Kids can be Kids!!!! John Prim has taken over the English Department and he is patiently working with his oldest student....George Stifel. Guess George never quite made it. As we bid farewell to the town, we stop for gas at the station. Steve Barkley runs it, and rumor has it that he also ran off quite a big of gas during his high-school days!!!!! Just as we pull out of the station, so does Ron Boone and Ron Rhodes. They are the only two people in the world that can lay a patch with their horses. That’s all their allowed to drive since Marshall Burt took away their licenses. Yes, Jeopardy Junction is quite the town and it is constantly growing. Who knows, maybe someday it will be the sight of the state capitol. The Seniors never were a class to say die !!!!! Jackie Barber New Senior—mid semester 'Success is a journey not a destination
