en ior add rap ecy Five years after I graduated from Manchester I married and, moved to Ohio. I liked my new home very much but it wasn't like Richmond. After being there four years, my husband, a re- tired naval officer, and I decided to have an anniversary party in West Virginia at the beautiful hotel, Hotel Jimmy. There we found JIM LEWIS and JIMMY REAMES, the owners. They told us that ELEANOR SNEAD owned a thousand-acre ranch in Texas, GROVER PAULETTE was a well-known lawyer with offices in Georgia and South Carolina and JOY BASS was his secretary. While waiting for the people to arrive for the party, the devil appeared next to me with BOBBY WOOD dressed in a police uniform. BOBBY said that he had been on the police force for a number of years. This surprised me very much, and we started talking about the Imps who were classmates of i950-51. They suggested that we go to Footies Inn owned by JIM FOOTE. JIM would be quite surprised to see us and perhaps there might be quite a few of the Imps there. BEN GOINS, owner of the GOINS Tobacco Company, and BUDDY HAGOOD, a commercial artist who draws for the Esquire Magazine, had their offices in the same building near the Inn, we were told. I left my table and went to the lobby to the news stand and picked up a few copies of magazines, one of which was the Shortie . When I opened the magazine, I saw that HELEN SHORT was the editor. The main article was Newcomb and Plott Have Sung Again. I read the details and learned that BILLY NEWCOMB and PEGGIE PLOTT were singers on Broadway. Another article of musical interest was the advertisement that REGGIE SLAUGHTER and JEANNE SMITH were giving piano lessons and that small childrensshould start taking lessons early. The sports article that caught my eye was the Richmond Basketball Team. GORDON MOTLEY was captain of the team and his team mates were LEWIS VAUGHAN, SIMON DAVIS, and FRANK JONES. By coincidence, I talked to PHYLLIS IJOLLYI MOTLEY and she said that she never missed a game, and the team hadn't lost a game this year. She also gave us news about some of the other Imps. WAVERLY WINFREE was teaching science and BILLY SCHILLINGS was teaching government at the Univer- sity of Richmond. Over on Hull Street in Richmond, she said one can see a very large store called LAPRADE JR.'S Model Radio Shop, owned and operated by VERNON LAPRADE. LELIA MONTGOMERY was his secretary. When we got back to the table, whom should I see but JOYCE WIGLESWORTH. She is the girls' coach at Manchester now and likes her job fine. She told us that BETTY PAGE LENEAVE is the librarian, and is married and living next door to her mother in Chesterfield Gardens. JOYCE also told us SIeg- fried's Beauty Shop, operated by PEGGY SIEGFRIED, could really fashion good permanent waves, and that EDITH NEWCOMB was a well-known fashion designer in New York. I saw WALTON POARCH and MILTON CHERRY coming in the door. They are now Big Men in the service. This did not surprise me as they now have good salaries and little work. The next arrival at the party was MARGARET MANN. She was a sports writer and secretary for the News Leader and had come to the party on a bus driven by ROGER WILLIAMS. FAYE JACKSON, LOIS TOMAN, JEAN MORGAN, and PHYLLIS KIDD were happily married, she related. As we glanced around the quickly-filling room, we saw SHIRLEY WALL. You know we had to talk, so I moved around to sit by her. SHIRLEY has the right kind of job, working in a kindergarten. She said there were thirty children and she loved them all. SHIRLEY suggested that we patronize EARL BURTCHETT, who was owner of a very large printing shop. She also told us that Mr. Thalhimer had employed a few of the Imps. PHYLLIS RAGLAND was one of the top buyers and on the fourth floor BARBARA ISAVEDGEI RHODES was modeling. CAROLYN HENSLEY was hostess for Thalhimers Tea Carte. HELEN DUNN was at the candy counter selling candy. SHIRLEY told me that CLYDE CASHION was running a sawmill up in Moseley, Virginia, making plenty of money and not yet married. Not far from CLYDE was a new speedway owned and operated by JACKIE DENNISON and her husband. Among the drivers were none other than CALVIN KOCH and JOHN EAGLES. GLENNICE CARNEY'S husband was out of service and they had bought a cute home in Westover Hills and GLENNICE was house- keeping. About this time the armed forces made their appearance- MARVIN JONES and WAYLAND LUTER in their Navy uniforms. They plan to make the Navy their career. They told us that GORDON HOLLOWAY was the clown on the Howdy Doody Pro- gram over TV. Also on TV there were advertisements featuring CAROL POWELL, a model from the men's department of Berry- Burkes' Department Store. Also, along the theatrical line we learned that WOODLY BARTLAM, RUSSELL HART, and CHRIS RIGBY were famous actors in Hollywood, after their smashing hit in When Man Plays Maiden. They work for VINCENT'S Studio, owned and oper- ated by RALPH VINCENT. BEVERLY PEMBERTON was the stage manager. JOAN TAYLOR, THELMA SNELLINGS, ELLEN TAY- LOR and CATHERINE ELLIS are make-up managers. LUCILLE MASSEY, the latest arrival said that she was still working at Murphy's Department Store and was getting married ,in a few weeks. JEAN MORRISON was a secretary in the office at the same store and WILBUR FARNSWORTH has a restaurant on Route 360, called FARNSWORTH'S Restaurant. JANE ROWE was working at the telephone company. WILBUR JONES works for the F.B.I. and PEGGIE WINCKLER was working in the same office with him. SHIRLEY RICHARDSON came to sit by me. I hardly knew her as she had changed a great deal. We talked about different things, how she missed seeing me in Richmond and wished we would move back. She has a good position at the American Life Insurance Company. She told me that BEVERLY ELLIS was living In Washington, D. C., working for the govemment and DOUGLAS HEATH had a very large farm about twenty miles from Richmond. Our anniversary party seemed such a success, I was so pleased to find out all about the Imps of the class of 1950-5l! BETTY IBETTSI BANGLE ae
