C. May 2, I9:.L. Dear xlnna Laura: 1 You can't imagine how delighted I was to hear from you, as it was the first letter I have had from you since you left Clayton in 1926. I know you are enjoying your work in the hospital as head nurse, especially since it is in New York City. I received a letter from Matthew, the president of our class in '26, asking me to write to all the members of the class about the reunion on the 18th of this month. The reason for Matthew's asking me to do this is that he is, as you know, the heavyweight boxing champion of the world, and hasn't time for it. The reunion will be held at the Smi.h Hotel, of which my husband is owner. It stands just across from the school where the old Penn House was. ' You must be sure to come, but if you can't, I'll write and tell you all about it. Always, INEZ. C1.A1'ToN, N. C. May 22, I944. Dcar .flnna Laura: I was very disappointed that You couldn't come to the reunion. That's what you get by being a nurse, but nevertheless, it is a noble profession. You missed half of your life by not being here, I have never enjoyed anything more. I'll give you a brief idea of what our old class-mates are doing. The year after graduating, Sallie Baker left Clayton for Durham, where she was in training for three years, After her graduation there, she returned to Clayton and a few months later married Eugene Hinton. They have a lovely bungalow on O'Neil Street. After Iris' graduation from Duke University, she XN'CIlf to New York and studied music for several years. She is now director of the Astor Band in jacksonville, Fla. She, with her husband, broadcasts some of the most beautiful music ever heard in America over the radio. Ashta is happily married to a dry goods merchant of Savannah, Ga. They had just returned from a trip abroad when they received my letter telling them of the reunion. They told us some vcry interesting facts of the Orient. Elizabeth Ferrell has won distinction as the National President of the Campfire Girls. VVilliam Evans, after several years in a Seminary, is one of the leading ministers of Calcutta, India. As he was on a visit to America, it was convenient for him to attend tl1e reunion. After Lilly left Clayton in 1927, she went to Oklahoma to live. It seems that her life has 19 Alf l'7fGillWTl i' I if C' j K' 2 'gin . . f 711, m 'Q :1- i-,'Jf-- i7 -y.P-e ,f- fc: ff-'
