Wallechinsky said the trip to Normal just happened to work out between his trip to Washington, D.C, and one to Nebraska as he "darts around the country doing fill-ins" for the book, which is to be published next spring. Besides attending the Holiday Inn festivities Friday, he attended the dinner-dance last night at Lakeside Country Club all In an attempt to get more of the flavor of the NCHS Class of '65. Wallechinsky already had some idea of the life outcome of 1965 NCHS graduates through his previous work. And, he said, he found that "they tended to be more like happenings of the Class of '61 and Class of '62 than the Class of '65." "It appears that most of the '60s changes swept on 'by" as far as Normal graduates are concerned, Wallechinsky said. "What happened to the woman (from NCHS featured his book) would probably have happened to her no matter when she graduated.

It wasn't as a result of the '60s," he said. On the other side of the coin, he said, the life outcome of 1965 high school graduates in other parts of the country could be traced to the turmoil of the '60s, and probably would have turned out differently had they graduated at another time in history. Wallechinsky stressed that he wasn't just comparing NCHS graduates to California-based high schools, either, but rather to graduates of high schools of comparable areas such as Xenia, Ohio, and some in Nebraska. "I haven't drawn any conclusions yet," he said. But he plans to before the book is completed.

Author says high school ab'Normal' By MARY ANN FLICK Pantagraph staff Graduates of Normal Community High School's Class of 1965 aren't all that "normal." At least the way their lives have turned out isn't all that comparable to the life outcomes of other 1965 high school graduates throughout the United States, according to Dave Wallechinsky. Wallechinsky is qualified to make that observation because he's spent months traveling around the nation interviewing graduates of the Class of 1965 including those from NCHS. The work is in preparation for a sequel to his first book, "What Really Happened To The Class of '65," a story which discussed what happened to some of the people who graduated with Wallechinsky from Palisades High School, West Los Angeles, in 1965. That book sold 800,000 copies and was the basis for a 1978 television series of the same name. According to Wallechinsky, who was in Normal yesterday attending the 20th reunion of the NCHS Class of 1965, the sequel, called "Mid-Term Report: The Class of '65," takes a further look at the Class of '65 by discussing trends of the generation and coming to some conclusions.

"I've done some general chatting with hundreds of people on a casual basis for overview for the conclusion. And I've zeroed in on 25 or 30 people, done full interviews and discussed their life stories," Wallechinsky said. One of the life stories which will be featured in "Mid-Term Report: The Class of '65," is that of an NCHS graduate who Wallechinsky preferred not to name during an interview yesterday.
