This small object is to satisfy all his curiosity as to the whereabouts and happenings of the seniors of ten years ago. Madame La Zonga begins to talk in a deep, mysterious voice: In this year, 1961, Robert Hand has been very successful as a vacuum cleaner salesman. It seems two typical housewives, Mrs. Carol Ball Carrick and Mrs. Marilyn Bueche Buck, have no sales resistance to his high pressure talk. I see Wayne Baker busily engaged in building a house for Mrs. Craig Bushong, the former Va- letta Bleam, who find it necessary to accommodate her growing twins, Flo and Moe. As I see this picture, John Boom is perched on the roof, ener- getically nailing on the shingles, Charles Beatty and his helper, Alvin Perry, are engaged to do the electrical work. Valetta's new neighbors are Marlan Grubbs, a painter, and his wife, the former Lois Cole. Moving on down the block of this residential zone, I see Bob Mitchell busily sweeping the debris strewn on the street by the patrons of Chuck Vargo's fruit stand. On the second floor of the shop is located Ivan Mellema's office. I see him a very apt Chiro- practor whose orderly practice is sometimes thrown into confusion by the spontaneous outburst of merry laughter by his nurse, Joyce McNitt. A patient of Dr. Mellema is that big strong lad, Ted Oom, who has trouble with his muscles since he subscribed to the 'Magnet Muscle' magazine, written and published by Bill Meulenberg and his able assistant, Bernice Berglund, In this same block is Van's Gunsmith Shop, another business establishment, operated by Rich Vander Markt, Working as his blacksmiths and as his salesmen are Bill De Young and Don Vree- land. I can.see faintly Mrs. Al Lanning, the former Jewell Tygeson, crossing the street. She is pushing a baby buggy and has with her her faithful dog,
