CQKMJ Mojo ec? Flash! Yesterday your news commenta- tor for VV MHS was privileged to attend the 20th annual gathering of the McComb class of 1946. VVhile there I was fortunate enough to be able to discover the following tidbits of gossip: After graduation from high school, Ioan Hector went to Indiana to college, She didn't finish college, however, because while she was there she fell in love. She found she couldn't concentrate on her studies so she got married and now she has six lovely children. tP.S.: All of them have redhair, too.J After several years of traveling around the country, Mary Lou Basye decided to settle down as far away from men as possi- ble, so now she makes her home at Boy's Town. After leaving high school, lohnny Patter- son decided to be a bachelor all his life. He joined the Navy and has traveled all over the world. lt is said he has a girl in every port. Lois Ann Scheerer, who we knew as our only engaged girl, is now raising children. Poor Lois, as we hear, is now in Alabama where her husband is a general at the head of the army. ln high school Rose Stevens decided that she would become a teacher. She taught school until a few years ago when she married her high school boyfriend, Calvin Leader. Although they used to quarrel sometimes in high school, Calvin said that they never quarrel now. Lucille Yoakam became a Home Eco- nomics teacher and a very good one too. But one day the right man came along, so she left her teaching career and got mar- ried. Now she has two sets of twins who all have dark curly hair like Lucille's. Ramona Cusac left her beloved farm and went to the big city. She now is chief editorialist for a large paper in Findlay. Richard Farthing, with all his knowledge of mechanical things, has gone far in life. He now helps his father-in-law keep his hearses in shape. Gerry says that she doesn't see how anyone can expect her to teach her five children to be refined musicians when Richard is always teach- ing them how to grease a car. When Bill lones graduated, he didn't know exactly what to do so in two years he got married and now he doesn't have to know what to do. He lives on a farm and he says he always has had a yearning .for politics. He is running for marshall next year. Paul LaRue, the boy who couldn't live a day without a good argument, is now on ct debating team traveling from coast to coast. Their topic is that nationally known question, Does puppy love really mean anything? Paul is on the negative side. Evelyn Leip has now overcome the slight shyness that she used to have and is now a very charming secretary. She works for a well known business man who says she is the most efficient worker he has had. How can he tell when she sits on his knee all the time? Noble Rader has established a garage half-way between here and North Balti- more. He still goes over to North Baltimore twice a week but his Ford isn't as good as it used to be. lt looks as though Noble is destined to be a bachelor because he can't get up enough nerve to pop the question. lContinued on Page 455

We were sorry not to have Doris Mapes, who had infantile paralysis, and Leroy Lovell back with us. We were glad to have Martha Williams, Bob Buclcmaster and Burdette Iacobs join us as new members of our class. Our class, rings arrived in September and we were all very proud of them. Miss Schuck was chosen as our advisor for this year. We presented our lunior play, Aunt Tillie Goes To Town, which was very successful. More money was made on it than was ever made by any other class of McComb High on a play. A very enjoyable Hallowe'en party was given by Ralph Miller at his home. Ioan Bishop left us to go to Hoytville and we also lost Bob Buckmaster. The Iunior Class sponsored a formal Iuniore Senior Banquet at the Elk's. A Chinese theme was used throughout. A program, dancing, and other entertain- ment followed the dinner. All had a very enjoyable time.
