Graduation season finds Eichelberger High School alumni going strong

Truman Geiman, right, shakes hands with Gorden Myers during the 72nd reunion of the Eichelberger Class of 1940 last week. Thirteen class members and 10 guests met for lunch at Hoss s Steak and Sea House in Hanover to catch up and tell old stories. (THE EVENING SUN BRETT BERWAGER)

Treasurer Dale Alwine raised one hand for quiet and assured his fellow class members around the banquet tables that, yes, he had prepared a story.

Something to share with the class.

So there's this old man who can't hear too good anymore, Alwine said.

He goes to the doctor's office. The doctor looks him over, then pulls out his light and shines it in the man's ear.

Here's the trouble, the doctor says: you've got a suppository in your ear.

"Well," the guy says, "at least now I know what I did with my hearing aid."

Guffaws and cheers then, from the Wednesday lunch crowd at Hoss's Steak and Sea House.

Now then, on to serious business.
