My wife, my son and I are making a visit to Cordova. I can hardly wait to find out exactly what all my former classmates are doing, these days. Quite a few years have passed since 1958, when we said Goodby to dear old Cordova High, Well, well, here we are in Cordova, and there is the Old City Hall. Who is that I see coming out the door? None other than the Mayor of the fair Metropolis, Jerry Lewis and Secretary, Shelby Black. Still reminiscing, I look up to behold Cordova High, perhaps dimmer by the passing of time, but still much as I remember it. As I walk into the principal's office I am shocked to see Don Williamson instead of Mr, Hudson. I leamed that Louise Stacks was now the teacher of Home Economics, and that Julia Stepleton was now the Senior III sponsor. As I walk down the street, I see Wythe Fine running a red light. He is in a hurry to reach Dover- town to see Carole Estill before Carl Franklin gets there. Some triangle. Continuing on, I see a sign, Be popular--Leam to dance now. I peek into the window to find that Dickie Waldrop and Betty Sanders are now choreographers for the Dixie Doodle Dancers. They are: Ticia Gammon, Marie Ferguson, Joan Worrell, Mary Dunn and Peggy Gilbert. To ease my restlessness, I sent my wife and son to the Sportsman Club owned by Jimmy Abel, who is assisted by Charles Martin and Gary Rosser as bouncers. I stroll to the end of the street where I entered a large modern movie studio, owned by Jerry Morrow, who has an able director, Billy Aldridge. I decided to tour the rural area in an air conditioned bus, running from Frog Aggar to Cane Creek Bottoms. I entered the station to purchase a round' trip ticket and found the ticket seller to be Shirley Sargent. As I boarded the Bus and took my seat I discovered the bus driver was Kenneth Banks. The bus had been chartered by the Frog Aggar Lions Basketball Team coached by Leland Glaze and trained by McKinley Taft. Leland informed me that he had a rising star by the name of Larry Corcoran. Crossing Cane Creek I saw a large houseboat, and was told that A, J. Posten had now become a commercial fisherman, At the end of our joumey I stopped at a souvenir shop, which was owned by Mary Anne Huggins and Barbara Jean, now selling Elvis Presley Albums exclusively. I began to inquire about some of our former classmates. I was told that Troy Windsor was now owner of Cordova Water Works. Lecil Wylie is now a General at West Point. Larry Buchanan and Emons Thomas are architects, at present designing homes for Betsy O. Gilbert, Vera Davis, Mary A. Windsor and Violet Carmichael, all who are professional singers. Gerald Bumette is a Lieutenant in the National Guard. My greatest surprise came when I found out that Shelton Naramore was a college professor. Returning to the fair city I discovered that my wife had visited a beauty salon owned by Mary Ruth Hyche, assisted by Duane Watson and Dee Ann Short. Visiting the City Hall to bid farewell to Mayor Lewis, I find the city now has two marriage counselors by the names of Marie Sherer and Doris Barton. Here I learned that classmate Ann Hyche had become the owner of a chain of theatres across the country. I must now return to my dentist office in Pine Tree, Iowa, but this visit to Cordova will live forever in my memories, J. W. Fowler, Class Prophet
