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.

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.

Remember Pauline Deering, our quiet, shy girl. Well, she has certainly done okay. After a few years of study, she turned out to be a landscapist. She does very beautiful work too. Dorothy Hermecz finds her days filled with appointments for photographs and modeling. Now, one of Power's top models she revels in all the attention she gets. But then, who wou1dn't. Remember how Laverne Chavers used to wow us with her jitterbugging. Well, she is still at it, where and when it will pay. What I mean is that she's a prominent dance teacher in Chicago. He finally received his credit. Who? Why Charles Bryant of course! He's a State Senator making history with his talks. Roger Schad and James Gebhart are another of the part- nerships. They are co-workers in a radio-television fact- ory. Their models have no rival on the market. I think our class must have entered almost every field of industry open. Helen Seefurth, Anna Surrey and Valda Walters are all in Europe as a school teacher, a missionary, and an interperter respectively, Quite interesting, I should imagine. Why is It, some boys, true to their childhood desires, do become ranchers, or cowboys? In this section of the country, namely Texas, we find Norman Underwood, Joe Bauer, Leonard Harrison and Norman Mikkleson, all 'punching catt1e.' Can you imagine Floyd Holk placidly sitting and quietly writing for hours? Well, that is just what he is doing. His latest novel is 'Forever Floyd.' Speaking of novelists, Kathryn Nelson is somewhat in the same line, being a reporter in the acme of her career. Considered to be the best in her profession, Emily pfaff has at last put her accent to use. She is a dress designer in France, being recognized all over Europe. Magdalena Herter and Marie Pardue both started out as small-time secretaries, now they are married to their boss- es, who are in the big time. Nice work if you can get it! How do some people always manage to get the best jobs available? Annie Ruth Cross and Helen Good did just that though. They are employed at Tiffany and Co. in New York. Speaking of JOIQ1ry, Floyd McKenzie and Virgil Parker are the happy owners of s diamond mone in Africa. It would be nice to be very close friends of theirs now. Billy and Horace Nall are operating a super bowling alley. They are doing a good business too. Everyone in Foley likes to bowl no matter how tired they may be.
