Decatur's 1926 Grads Hold Reunion Sunday

While a bit of silver predominated* in the hair that was left, and the midriff had taken on the' aspects of an inner tube, most of the members of the class of 1926, Decatpr high, school, forgot all this' Sunday when they held their first, reunion. Tlitey forgot these minor details while concentrating on renewing acquaintances that somehow had becoine dimmed with the passage of time.

Who was president of the class. He and ’ Don Leßnfti, of South Whitley, class treasurer, combined to serwe as toastmasters at the dinner* — Richard Bogner, also of this city, vice president of the class, attended; Mrs. Ruth Johnson Faser, secretary, whose home IS in Winter- Haven, Fla., was unable to do po. Yet it was the latter who 25 years ago wrote the class prophecy which "was so completely wrong” as so many such prophecies . hre, ; and read by Mrs. Josephine Anderson Neireiter. But what actually had transpired during the 25 years since graduation was described by etch class member in short: speeches, speeches which followed those by Walter J. Krick, now superintendent of oecatur public schools but then Decatur high school principal, hnd Mrs. Blanche McCrory Robinson, who was the 1926 class “guardian.” A After dinner at the Elks, reminiscences of the last quarter century, and the of morb such .reunions in the/ future, the
