A closer look revealed to me the it I, - fact that the paper was The Arkansas College Bulletin of 1950, and 2 E that across the front of it ran the headline, The Class of 1925 Has 1 F Made an Enviable Record. Soon l also was lost to the world in the is. ' lllghjfll perusal of the following article: The authorities of Arkansas College recently have been made cognizant of the re- markable progress made by the Class of 1925. Their achievements, indeed, have far exceeded the fondest expectations of their professors. So far have they excelled all former classes that the Board of Trustees has decided to publish a record of their careers, in hope that the oncoming students may live up to the standards set by them. Among the promising men of this class was Tillar Conner. He dazzled him- self, the college, and the state by his prowess both on and off the athletic field. Since he left college he has continued to dazzle, in ever-widening circles, as assistant manager of the Osborne Talking Machiiie and Broadcasting Company. Stuart Pattillo also has come to the frontl He is a theatrical producer. His specialty is nonsense in its most rarified and versatile forms. Recently he endowed the Chair for Theatrical Training in Arkansas College. Full courses in that depart- ment will be offered in the college curriculum next session. Lloyd Goff will be the professor in charge. Professor Goff has acquired extended fame throughout the terri- torial regions as both a teacher and producer in the art which he shall promulgate as a member of the college faculty. lVIore complete, tangible, and comprehensive infor- mation concerning his attainments is obtainable elsewhere. The matchless agility of Charles Prather was his outstanding collegiate character- istic, and since the cessation of an eventful college career, he has, along that line, mounted to new heights of glory. He has won the admiration, praise, and even the love of thousands in all parts of the globe. He is conceded to be the greatest dancer behind the footlights of America. He has recently completed a tour, having visited the lead- ing courts of Europe, and a local court near Newport. He appeared as a participant in the commencement exercises of 1949 at Arkansas College, and his performance was most edifying to even the most sedate. The advertising sections of the leading publications of New York City bear evi- 2-1- 15 . igfx l . L N

This man, while in college, was possessed with an insatiable craving for that which was high and lofty. His ambitions lifted him to a plane above the heads of mere mortals. lt was his wish from childhood to be freed from the necessity of con- tinual personal contact with the masses. All these ambitions have been gratified. George Sink has mounted to even higher levels than was expected. He has risen to a social position Htting his temperament. He moves and has his being in the clouds, as it were. He is the leading steeple-jack of New York City. His accomplishments upon the tallest buildings in the city are said to be remarkable. The family also is doing well. Mabel Reed, smiling, benign, angelic, incomparable, was the envy of all her associates, even during her college days. Her early grace, now coupled with other ac- complishments, has taken her into fields of great achievement and fame. During the passing years, evolution also has taken place. She is lVIme. Mae Belle Reede, model in a leading Paris modiste shoppe. Her employers declare that the manner in which she wears coats bespeaks a great experience. Following the successful conclusion of an eventful college career, Aubrey jones speedily enrolled in various medical schools. After an unusually extended interval, he finally was allowed to depart, and by the state permitted to practice upon helpless hu- manity. That he succeeded is a matter of common knowledge. He is the owner of a very fashionable beauty shop in 'Los Angeles. Society women from all sections of the country flock to his doors, and he is swamped with demands for the application of the famous 'Jones Beauty Treatment.' Indeed, his record is one which wins praise from all associates. x 'Everything comes to him who waits,' was the bit of philosophy upon which jacob R. Meadow moulded his college career. Due to his waiting policies many transformations took place under his very eyes, transformations to which he was Wholly oblivious. But once he had safely tucked away his coveted diploma, his philoso- phy became, 'Opportunity knocks at a man's door but onceg my door is always open.' Today lVIr. Meadow is the operator of the famous bus running at regular intervals between Marianna and Blytheville. The name of Lois Hodge is known in every part of the globe. This rare and extraordinary personage stands aloof, on a pedestal, as it were, viewed by thousands with mingled emotions of envy and admiration. She stands far above the world, with a longing expression that seems to have its source in feelings which originated long ago. Miss Hodge will return to Batesville next month for the annual meeting of the Open Golf Tournament. She is at present the holder of the trophy. While still a child, Karia Cole visited Newport and saw a visiting policeman in the town. She admired his beauteous costume, and from that time coveted his posi- tion and the prestige accompanying it. Her ambition has been fulfilled. She is the 25 eligff Q1
