Cfass Prop ecy Well, well, how time does fly. Here it is 1957 already. Why it seems like only yesterday that I was graduating from high school. Those were the good old days, although we did- n't realize it. I wonder what happened to everybody I graduated with? I think I'll take a trip and see how many of them I can find. First stop will be Foley. My, look how the town has grown. The school looks like a dream, and who is this, why 1t's Ramona Thieme, running the nChow House' or school cafeteria. Gosh, guess who's principal now, Earl Boone. I never dreamed he would become that interested in the school. He and Mildred are happily married, and Earl Jr. is trying to master the first grade. We had a talented miss in our class who turned out to be a very successful commercial artist. I believe her name is Evangeline Thomas. Well, here comes a couple of familiar faces: Jerry Gilly and Jimmy Sunda. They formed a partnership and own the Alwrite a Good chain of drug stores in Alabama. There's Sue and Jim Tom. I hear they are married now, running the new hotel that has been built on the Gulf. Sue runs the hotel while Jim coaches at the school. Gulf Shores now has its beaches lined with fashionable summer resorts, erected by Joe Beech. He's a famous archi- tect, leaving his name on beautiful structures all over the United States. I think I'll go down town and see who I can find. Why there's Glenn Holk, editor of the Onlooker, and Carolyn Schad is his Secretary. They are doing very well too. I hear John Ray Nelson and George Miller have formed a partnership and own all the fishing industries along the Gulf. Phyllis and George have a cottage on the Gulf and live happ ly there. So far, nobody has captured John Ray's heart, wonder if anyone ever will. Paul Carr, true to his name, is designing cars for Henry Ford. His designs far surpass the post-war Studebaker. I picked up the paper, and whose picture should confront me, but Annie Sm1th's. She is now a famous vocalist in New York. I believe she has just divorced her third husband, the one who started her in show business.

Phillip almost forgot to stop growing, But he's a guy who's really worth knowing. One who's quiet and nice to know, Is Annie Ruth--Just watch her go. Paul and Carl are two of a kind, In gaining friends, they're never behind. Helen is like her last name--Good, When you meet her this is understood. Robert Mason is on the baseball team, They say his catching is a dream. Majorie too, has married and settled down, The right man for her, she had found. Always a talker was Charles B. This made him an orator as you can see. Rosco Abbott is a friend to keep, If ever, him, you have a chance to meet. Irene's eyes are blueg her hair is blonde, Of this girl we are very fond. Earl Bodiford is one whom we like and respect, Not a friend of his will he ever neglect. James Gebhart is a boy who likes to work, If he has something to do he will not shirk.

Also outstanding in New York is Elizabeth McGowan, M.D. She isga distinguished psychiatrist and much sought after. Hazel Moore is also in New York. She is president of the perfume company that manufactures those wonderful odors for lovelorns. Imogene Williams has certainly helped Arkie to progress. With her help, Arkie has profited and now owns a chain of theaters in Alabama. Bill De Loach certainly has climbed upward. Starting as class president, he is now president of a Nationwide Youth Club, which tries to provide entertainment for the youth in all of the larger cities. Can you imagine Ph1l11p.B1ngert as the Master of Cere- monies on 'Breakfast in Hollywoodn. He was witty though. I remember when he was master of ceremonies at the Prom one year and he did okay. Charles Harper is now state archaeologist. He used to bring bones and old skulls to school all the time. Wonder how he spends his spare time? Martha and Richard have just returned to Foley, after a five year absence. After Richard was discharged, they , were married. He liked Japan so much, they went back:there to live. Vivian Calloway is now a Congresswoman, helping to un- scramble some of our politics. She said she became inter- ested when she went to the inauguration of 'Big Jim' Folsom. I wonder if David Calloway ever made his life dream come true. The last time I heard about him, he was trying to make All-American fullback. I'd say he was qualified. Royce Jones certainly has come out since his school days. He used to be shyg now he is the leader of a swell orchestra. It's amazing-how some people can change so much. Johnny Holman and Jack Moore never used to listen in English and literally hated the subject. Now, however, they are both English Professors at Yale and Harvard respectively. My trip is certainly tiring. I think I'll stop in Reno for a few days. Nice little city, but who's this coming? Why it ls, A Evelyn Hummel. She has just gotten a divorce from her four- th husband. Majorle Fritz Templln has certainly lived in bliss for the past ten years. Tobe owns a large garage here in Reno. Vera larik is another of the happily married. She is an interior decorator for one of Reno's exclusive firms.
