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
