W Cfhs Rocket “I Glass Cprophecy -4 One day while passing down the street I met a stranger. He spoke and offered his hand to me. At first, I was afraid that he was like a great many other men, trying to have some fun. I noticed that he was dressed in a sailor’s uniform. In just a moment I recognized him as “Red” Dyer, a class mate from Springville High. Indeed I was glad to see him. He asked me where I lived and all • about myself. After we talked awhile, I asked him to call to see me at my house. “Red” said he had some photographs, which he had gathered. Most of them were class mates from Springville. (“Red” as a sailor; had been all over the world.) I am very anxious to see what has become of my class mates. Soon I will be looking at the pictures as “Red” is due in a few minutes. This will be an exciting time for me. Charles speaks: “First here is a photograph of Nellie Mae Shepherd, with a crowd around her. She is a missionary in Japan. I wasn’t at all surprised because you remember this work had always interested her. All the people are very fond of her and she has made good. Next, here is a picture of Elma Lee Sansing. She was coaching bas- ketball at Judson College in Alabama. No basketball is complete without yells so here I found Ruth Akridge leading yells. You know I was glad. While passing through a town where we stopped, there was a circus. A great big man was calling, “Come one! Come all! Come see my rabbits.” Erskine Glenn had a big cage of rabbits, all colors. Here is where he had made his money, as rabbits bring good money. We left the circus; we had nothing to amuse us. We walked down the street looking for something to turn up. Then what did we see? In big letters “MY MAN,” a show. This is where we entered. A group of girls came out. The piano player played beautifully. The girls danced a while and then made their exit. Then we had a piano solo, who could the player be? None other than Miriam Walker. As soon as the show was over, I went to the stage door and waited a long time for her, but I saw there were so many suitors, I left my card and went on my way. At this port we got a good many more new passengers. I didn’t no- tice any, because I didn’t feel as if I knew any of them. The next morn- ing, while walking on deck, I saw a face approaching, I found the girl or

CThe Rocket lady to be Alma Gladys Laster. She said she was married, but her hus- band had died and she was going to Europe to start life over again. While visiting a college chum teaching in Yale University, I found that the students were talking of one of their professors, Richardson! Richardson! was all they said. After investigating the man, I found him to be Thurman Richardson! Another day while on shore leave in Boston, I was walking through a big department store, and asked for the head clerk. Odelle Owens came marching down. She had made good and all the girls that worked there simply adored her. Alma Speaks: “Gee, Charles, who is this live looking dignified man?” Charles Speaks: “Don’t you remember James Watson?” Alma Speaks: “Of course I do.” Charles Speaks: “Well, he is owner of a large hospital in London.” I was ship wrecked on a lonely island with nothing to eat or any place to sleep. A lovely lady came and gave me permission to use one of her rooms and she gave me some food. Now, can you guess who it was? Virginia Stansell. I suppose you know that Odrie Jones is driving a big bus out in Hol- lywood California. A sight-seeing bus. Jack Robertson was the leading lady in society in Boston, when I was there on shore leave one spring. Here is a picture of Hubert Jones. He owns a large plantation in Texas. Now. my old school mate has gone. I sit by the fire and live over again my happy school days at dear old Springville High. Each familiar face I ree before me. Each one seemed to be very near me. How I longed to see them and hear their voices again. Farewell, dear school days. Days of Auld Lang Syne! How dear they are! I shall never, never, forget them. Gone, but never forgotten. Alma Stine.
