teacher and she says she is soon taking her trip around the world, Bonnie Creviston was there too, Bonnie is now working in a department store in Milwaukee. Sounds like she is one that sticks close to home too. But she is enjoying life to the utmost. Roger Martin was next in line. He owns a farm and is an auctioneer along the side. He always was quite a fast talker. But you haven't heard anything yet! We finally got to our table. Brother, what a conversation they were having. Larry Arndt, Eddie Fick, Ted Welch and Verdell Beier were discussing those good old high school days. Larry is a doctor and Eddie is a pharmacist in a neighboring town. Verdell is selling 72 cars and Ted has a filling station, following in his father's footsteps. When it was time for some entertainment, things sure quieted down. Shirley Hericks is singing in the gigantic place. She's been singing for the past five years and really enjoys her work. Her home is in Beverly Hills, just in case you might like to drop in on her. Lana Bolden lives down the street from her and fashions most of her clothes too. Lana also has her own art show. She keeps herself busy. Judy Brandau is now teaching a kindergarten class on the other side of town. She's enjoying her life like the rest of them. Seems like these three girls really get around. Linda's message was that her car was parked in front of a fire hydrant. Goodness, Linda, being a Driver's Education teacher could have avoided that. Seems to all the Seniors of the 1962 class, it was a most enjoyable evening, especially being able to see all of the old classmates and finding out just what they are doing to occupy their time. l hope we all can meet again someday in the following years and to have as much fun as we have had yesterday, tonight and tomorrow.

Stout lnstitute is within her reach For Home Economics, she wants to teach. Howard Sanborn, a freshman's ideal In an argument he'll give you a deal. An auto mechanic he'd like to be But we'll just have to wait and see. Vivian Schendel, our class brain, Stout State College is her aim. Comes the weekend she's never late, He will never have to wait. Leon Schindler, quite a guy, Around the girls he isn't shy. Always causing lots of commotion Leo's the one to start things in motion. Bill Schriver, a comical lad, One will never see him sad. Bill si always in a tizzy, To follow him would make one dizzy. Juris Valters, a handsome lad, Leaving school will make him glad. Making noise and having fun After all his work is done. Ted Welch, who likes to drive, To be a mechanic he will strive. Ted is really very smart Of the girls he wants no part. Lowell Zellmer, tall and lean On the basketball floor is really keen. He loves to drive his father's car It will take him near and far. we The lounge of the Hotel Kickapoo Gardens was the scene of the reunion of the 1962 Wilton Alumni As we arrive in our taxi, driven by Robert Granger, who should we meet at the doorg a great sur- prise but Rick Buchholz, who has been in France visiting Vivian Schendel, who is now a famous French Home Economics teacher. Vivian has acquired many high honors for her outstanding teaching ability. As we walk into the lobby we hear an announcement by the doorman, Larry Berner. There is an emergency telephone call for Linda Cox and Larry was wondering if we had happened to have seen her. So we began to look for her through her friends and old classmates. The first people we meet were two of her best friends, Sandy Larson and Helen Eckelberg. Sandy is a beautician at the famous salon, owned by Roger O'Gara in Chicago. Helen is married and is raising her family, and that, believe me is a job by itself, Then we meet two pests of the class, Don Kruse and Jim Meseberg. Don has been married for four years. Long Years, Don says. Poor old Don, he really seems hen-pecked. Jim Meseberg is the same old tightwadg but he's spending his money on his brand new home and 72 Ford. He is really enjoying life. Next we meet the former Barb Marco and Carol Noth. They, too, are both married and are work- ing also. Barb is a stenographer and Carol has her own Comedy Show on T,V, - The name, Oh Carol. Be sure and tune in. Edging our way through the crowd to our table, who should we come across, but the owner and his two assistants. The owner, who else but Doug Devine and the two assistants none other but his two best pals, Lowell Zellmer and Toby Bever. This is just what they always had in mind and see for yourself, Where there's a will, there's a way! Lowell and Toby are also assistant basketball coaches for the University of California. This isn't a surprise. There stood a few of the old pals, Howard Sanborn and Teddy Koebernick, Howard owns his own huge dairy farm down in our own home state of Wisconsin, He really keeps himself busy farming and raising his family. Ted joined the Navy after he finished school and it sounds like he's going to make a career of it. The waitress came in, guess who, Shirley Olson. She must like waitressing as she's still sticking to the same type of job she had in high school. But her main occupation is being a Home Economics
