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.

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.

Its amusing to turn on the radio, pick up a paper, hear people talking, and learn something about some of your classmates. Charles Rice is now a cameraman in Hollywood, filming those gorgeous movie stars. Looks like Valton Long likes his job too. He's an im- portant director at one of the studios. The same one Charles Rice is working for. Harlan Heuer, Robert Mason and Williard Parker are making their fame and fortune as glass blowers. They devel- oped the art differently from everyone else and started qui te a fad . Looks as if Roscoe Abbott and Earl Bodiford also decid- ed to be different from everyone else. They're just plain farmers, planting potatoes year after year. I never thought anyone would finally end up in the let- popolitan Opera House, but Dorothy Bauman did, and her sis- ter Ruth is her understudy. They both are doing splendidly. Arthur Sandburg's name will go down in history as being one of the most outstanding inventors of his time. His in- ventions are too numerous to name. Irene Schwartz and Blaine Cloptop,have made a name for themselves as a doctor and an excellent photographer in low York. Both are in demand constantly. And yours truly, why I'm an airline hostess. I start- ed when I finished school and I'm still at it. It's fasci- nating work, and I love it. I almost forgot two of my classmates. They are in such obscure places with sure fascinating work too. Carl Breck- ner is a scientist of the General Electric Corp. He is in Iceland working on some new weather device. Ruth Krantz is a competitor. She is working for the Nash-Kblvinator Corp. helping to perfect a similar device. And now as our journey comes to an end we prophesy HAPPINESS TO EVERYONE in the Class of 1947.
