D. H. S. PERISCOPE Mildred Voth and Eldon Kliever both took up aviation soon after graduating. Their competition for the world flight time record was so long and b.ltter that they finally had to settle It by marrying and making a successful world flight record together. Annie Thelssen became so attached to Dallas High School that she couldn't bear to leave It after graduating, so she's been taking a p. g. course there ever since. Amy Houtz came flying in in a terrible rage and grabbed spouse Marvin May by the collar. l To, we won't be able to stay for the program, she said. Marvin sneaked off without washing the dinner dishes, and I:m going to punish him. As they left, bachelors Robert Dalton and Charles Lynn wore seen shaking hands over some secret agreement. Ruth Pleasant, now minus all freckles, is a nodel for Jantzen bathing suits. She has refused three screen tests and an offer to go on the stage. She is afraid that an acting career would change her from the sweet, unaffected little girl that she is. After Lloyd Linn gradu'tod, he still remembered that unpleasant necessity of sprinting to school at 8:23 every morning, so he started making little motor-scooters for boys (and girls) who like to sleep until the last minute. The elan was so successful that now no high-school student in Dallas ever thinks of getting up before 8 o'clock and Lloyd, now almost a millionaire, always sleeps until noon. Jean Stevens and Luella Wall have been doing quite well in Hollywood. They have a guide bureau for tourists who want to see the stars' homes. Leona Hart is a fashion designer in a smart dross shop in San Francisco. She was the cause of many admiring glances as she arrived in a new creation of her own, which had the distinction of combining nine colors successfully. Oh yes. Just as I was finishing this letter, Maxine Rowell came in with her husband. They had been attending the reunion of the Independence Class of '38 and had to come late. '.Veil, that's all I sa.w at the reunion, grand time and I hope that you will be able next one which is to be held June 1, 1958. Sincerely yours, Everyone had a to attend the THE SPIRIT OF THE CLASS OF '33 1938

D. H. S. PERISCOPE Maxine Helms and Harold Peterson have just recently announced the,ir engagement. We didn’t want to rush into marriage Without waiting to get acquainted, she said. Harold gave up the idea of becoming Doc, Jr. and now runs a pop-corn and candy wagon on the courthouse square. Bill Anderson saw a show called Test Pilot and decided to work up to be one. He cm Dack with the announcement that he has just been promoted to the position of messenger boy on the field. Another ten years and I’ll be right up there, he said. Valdean Burk and Holeman Connor have settled down on a big crab appl- ranch about six miles from Salem. As it is the maid’s day out (oh yes, they’re quite prosperous), they brought Holeman, Jr. along, much to everyone’s dismay. Betty Boyaston closed the library, where she is now in full charge, to come to the reunion. This is the first day off she’s taken since she first began showing little children whore Little Red Riding Hood is hiding. Mildred Eastman thought it was nothing less than a miracle that she is a famous c rtoonist. She took Walt Disney’s plan upon his retirement in 1S42. Bur none of us was surprised. We all knew she practiced enough in high school. Through Mildred's influence.Hubert Springsteen is cashing in on his eight years of voice education. He has a contract for the position of being the voice for all the characters in Mildred's sequel to Snow-White -- Goldilocks and the Three Bears. Jasper Venter,who always showed signs of being a scientist, nov has his own laboratory and is a maker of fine perfumes. He brought us all samples of his latest mixture, Goodbye, Youth. It brought a twinge of sadness to more than one of us as we thought of those new gray hairs, extra pounds, and little wrinkles. Remember the happy-go-lucky little girl with the gift of gab, called Joan Stinnotte? She has followed a journalistic career and has just completed that great-selling novel, Lovin' with Lovin, but success has not touched her, even though the book is being considered for the Pullitzer prize. She is a calm, quiet, sad-eyed little thing now. They say sh.. has been like that ever since Bud married Frieda Schmitt four years ago. ---- 1938 =-----
