Coming back to faithful old Georgetown, I find several members of the Class of '35 busily engaged in different occupations-name- ly Lewis Marvel a printer, George Thoroughgood incorporated in his l'ather's lumber company, Charles Jones in the chicken busi- ness, Julius Cooper, a car dealer, and Henry Rogers manager ol thc- American Store. My dreams bring me visions now of prosperous farms. Who are the owners? Why they are Calhoun Elliott, James Pusey, Granville Marvel, Milton Johnson, Robert Rust, Stanley Hulse, David Dukes. and Wiilianx Virden. Catching a glinmpse of the Georgetovvn High School faculty, I no- tice that four of the 1935 class are members. They are: Paul Der- rickson and Ada Mae Warrington, atheletic teachers, Marion Lang- ford, commercial teacher, and Doris King, language teacher. My dreams would not be complete il' I left out those of the class that romance has blessed during these five years, and so I shall re- veal their names-Ruth Dawson, Ruth Derrickson, Elva Cordrey, Thelma Elliott, Helen Scott, Marian Sammons, Paul Richardson, and last Marjorie Hudson. QMarjorie caused the vvedding bells to ring wvhen she became the bride of Robert Kephart.j My dreams are vanishing as I stand on the pier at Lewes to sail on another voyage, but, oh who is this I see in a United States Navy outfit in the harbor? It is Albert Montague, another one of our class comedians-and recognizing me, he starts to clown. The ship is out of the harbor novv sailing again to dreamland for a cargo of fresh rnenfiories of the Class of '35, Mildred Sharp page fnrig-three

The Ivy Of '35 What si dainty plant is the ivy green With its leaves so crisp and cold What G sturdy plantl What a loyal plantl Wlisit 21 tender plant and bold. Wliy do we place you, olil ivy green, At the base ol these walls today, Next the hard hare bricks, in the bleak north wlnzl As we journey on our way? You are the vvarden. olrl ivy green, Ot' our memories fond and true, ln your tender leaves are the tender thoughts Oi' the days that vvill soon be through. Your sturdy arms will gather them in, And your tendrils strong entvvine them. As you joyously wzmvo your leaves of green And creep ulonq nenth their verdant sheen, You will carry this song forever and aye To clamoring hordes that will come this way. Old Georgetown I-liqh, vve love you. The Ivy Oration Friends and fellow students of the Georgetown High School, xve are assembled today for the purpose of carrying on a very beau- tiful Custoni that was inaugurated five years ago, vvhen the Class c-l' 1980 placed an ivy plant nt the base of the nevvly-laid corner- stone of this building. We stand in sublime connevtion with the Past and with the Fu- ture. Although the one is irrevocable and the other is unknown to us, wve hold the former by history: the latter we possess by an- ticipation anrl by hope. Through long centuries of song and story the ivy has been a syinbol of sentiments that are inherent in human nature. It signi- fies loyalty and never failing affectiong stendfastness-be the vveather fair or foul. ' You will find it trailing everyvvhereg on churches, schools, his- toric buildings, and even the graves of those vvhose mernory must be kept forever green. Let us look for a moment at this rare old plant. -Here are the tender light hearted leaves ol' youth-reaching out from the parent stemg vvaving joyously in the crisp air and kindly sunshineg ex- ploring their little world, as it were, before seeking the support of an sheltering vvall. Here are the leaves of n later day. Their green is of darker hue, They are sturdy and strong from holding fast to their retaining wall while gathering strength from the elements that surround tl1en1. And here is the parent stem-hearty and hule but flexible still. Creeping along in its silent way, it bears the nmture and the new, tlruxving strength frorn the old and secure. pug: fnrig-fiur
