Halo ec? Since graduation, time has flown, in fact, ten years have passed. lt is now a beautiful day in June, 1960, and the Senior Class of 1950 are gathering for a reunion in the Ball Room of Dayton's finest hotel. Maurice Jordon, Johnny Johnson, and Brantley Griffin were just three lucky guys to be able to secure a short leave from their stations in the Army. Gloria Givens, Orpha Bandy, and Dottie Beene, who recently re- placed the Andrew Sisters, came in by plane from Hollywood. The pilot of the plane was Billy Norris, with Mike Barger as co-pilot. Dr. Bill Hart succeeded in getting an as- sistant to stay in his hospital in Nashville while he came in for a few days. He brought with him nurses Sara Rose Hall, Jane Dani- els, Katherine Potter, and Joyce Wilson. Coach Sanders and his wife, Patsy Mc- Clure, had no trouble getting to the reunion since the football season was over. Their chauffeur, Fisher Thomas, drove them up from Graysville. Rita Green, who now lives in Chatta- nooga, took time off from writing poetry to drive up in her new Ford. On the way, she picked up Sue Bean, Martha Jean Newell, and Mary Lee Hall, who were hitch-hiking. They had left their husbands at a stag party in Red Bank. Billy Cartee cancelled his Radio Quiz Show for -one night in order to attend. His quiz students are Charles Bishop, Jack Boyd, Thomas Henderson, and Alice Roddy. The radio announcer is Agnew Travis. Shirley Welch, still employed at Robin- son's Drug Company is busy rounding up special numbers from those students who remained in Dayton. A quintet consisting of Norene Harris, Charma Burdette, Nelda Kelley, Nina Kel- ley, and Anna B. Kincannon, who had been studying under the direction of Charles Key, sang the popular song of the day, l Didn't Mean To Hurt Ya , composed by Clvde Massengale. Also a quartet made up of Carl Barger, James Blackburn, Clayton Morris, and Gene Housley planned to sing. Stevie Gallagher rode up to Pennine in his 'new streamlined motor boat after Ar- chie Hoback, who lives there on his million dollar estate, acquired by raising rabbits. Keeper of the rabbits is Ray Fisher, his but- ler is Roy Lee Maynor. Freddie Gibson, owner of Dayton's larg- est hotel, reserved rooms for the out-of-town guests who wished to stay there. Co-owner is Greer Matthew. Only the best of food is served by chief cook, Harold Riley. Wait- resses at the hotel are Gladys Best, Dorothy McDowell, Evelyn Porter, and Ruth Har- wood. lnterior decorators, Doris Sharp, Kath- leen Morgan, and Maxine Robinson decor- ated the Ball Room for the event. Cynthia and Fannie Riggs brought from their shop beautiful arrangements of violets to be used in decorating. Oral Fay Shaver, Margaret Abel, and lva Jean Arnold took time off from their prosperous business career in New York to get there. Imogene Cranfill just returned from her honeymoon in California. Mary Ann Riley and her sailor husband, who now reside in Ohio, returned by airliner owned and op- erated exclusiveiy by Ruby Sedman. Everyone renewed old acquaintances at the reunion, and Allene Elsea, who told of her tour around the world, was main speaker. Betty Jo Hicks, news reporter, was on hand with Lavon Riley as photographer. Before leaving Dayton, the girls all went by Helen's Beauty Shop for a nice hair-do. Owners are Helen Swafford, Helen Leffew, and Helen Kyle. Their assistants are Jamie Lee Perkinson, Doris Pickett, and Martha Harris. Thus ended a wonderful event in the fu- tures of the members of the graduating class of 1950. Rita Green
