While you're all frolicking during the

cocktail hour, here's reunion

committee member Janet Rhoads-

Leslie ('71) in the main room, putting

the finishing touches on the table

settings, like arranging the fortune

tellers on top of the CDs.

Wha?

First, all attendees received a

souvenir CD featuring some of the

great music you heard and danced to

that afternoon. Meant for listening to

loud as you burned rubber on your

way home from the party, feeling like

a teenager again. Twenty-three songs.

Also, twenty-three potential

Remember these things? Fortune tellers? Girls used to make 'em, and guys used

to marvel at 'em. (Historical note: Back when we were kids, it was widely

assumed that girls could not excel in math and science. Are you kidding me?

Folding one of these things is more sophisticated than building the Space

Shuttle!)

Phil printed up 150 of these (finally learning how to fold one, after fifty-six

years), and Janet lovingly folded every one, finishing on the plane ride north

from Florida.

Anyway, the idea was to have all 140 or so of you manipulate these at once to

see which person at each table got to take home the loverly floral centerpiece.

See demonstration below.

Also found at each table: a trivia game, for when the

conversation hits a deadly lull. Not that this was likely to

happen with a bunch of yentas from Jericho, but your

devoted reunion committee plans ahead for every

contingency.

Each table had a different slate, with different questions.

The idea was to trade with other tables. By the way, bet

these slates bring back fond memories from elementary

school in our one-room schoolhouse with the pot-belly

stove for warmth! No? Oh, right: We got left back a few

dozen times.
