As I was riding on a plane from San Francisco to New York, I met an old classmate, June Deasy, who graduated with me from S. C. H. S. in 1953. We began talking about the good times that we had in school and it seemed our minds were running on the same thing, for we both were wondering what had happened to our old classmates. Just then the airplane hostess, Sue Paul, came through. She had found an old crystal ball that someone had left on the plane. May, 1953 As we began looking into the ball together, the first place that came into view was S. C. H, S. There was Ray Hodges, the new principal and his efficient secretary, Mary Elizabeth Webb. Then we heard singing from the auditorium where Beatrice Long was directing her excellent Glee Club. She had as her new assistant, Jean Cook, who was also the piano teacher. Suddenly the football field came into view. There was James lCatfishJ Leath who was still trying to have as good a football team as Coach McDonald did in 1952. Speaking of football, Bobby Neal arid Glenn Glover, whom we knew as the Touchdown Twins, back in high school, still have their football abilities. Glenn is playing professional football now and Bobby is coaching in a small town in Maryland. Bobby isn't married because he is still looking for the rich girl. Looking back into the crystal, we still see the school but the scene has changed to the gym where Joan Harris has her basketball girls around her telling them about the team she used to play on when Doris Brown was playing too. Doris seems to love children since she has two and is teaching Sunday School where her husband is preacher. That reminds us that some more of our classmates married right after graduation. Mrs. James Dickens lBarbara Groves? lives on a big cattle farm in Mitchellville. Alice Sherrill and her husband are the new owners of Shell City Cafe. Mr. and Mrs. Billy Freeland Uuanita Streetl are living on a farm near Oak Grove- raising chincillas. Well, we have talked long enough, and we must see what the crystal ball can tell us about our other classmates. Soon we see a beauty shop in Portland owned by Florence McCloud. Her employees are Marie Brown and Betty Devasher who seem to be very busy. The door opens and in walks Mary Frances Ferguson who is teaching Physical Education at Gallatin High School where Laura Ruth Claiborne is teaching History and Eugene Garrett is Agriculture Instructor. The door opens wide and in walks Magdalene Keene and Minnie Lou Perdue, who work at Booker's Store. While waiting, they were glancing through some papers and magazines on the table. There was an advertisement of Jane Bell's Modeling School and Perry Harper's Electrical Appliance Shop. Edna McCormack is Perry's secretary and his main salesmen were Rhea Chandler, Charles Williams, and Kenneth Dorris. Then Minnie tumed to the entertainment page and saw that an orchestra with Joyce Freeland was appearing at the Portland Dinner Club whose manager is Jimmy Johnson lstill liking the job of managerl. The Mischievous Two starring Jackie White and Harold Ragen is playing at the Strand Theatre which is owned by Frank Wilkes irising in his positionl and the manager is J. P. Crafton. Also on the entertainment page was a picture of David Jones and his band who are signed up with the Grand Ole Opera. Now the scene is changing from the beauty shop to the church. We hear the wedding march. Here comes the bride and groom. Mary El-len Williams and Donald Collins. We see Jim Collins as his c:ousin's best man and Lore-ne Williams as her niece's bridesmaid. Wayne Gregory, the preacher. has just married the couple and we notice Jane Williams and Margaret Parker, who own the Portland Kindergarten, throwing rice at the newlyweds as they leave. Then the Photographer, David Kirkham, is waiting outside the churchg and Bobby White, owner of White's Buick Motor Co., drives the couple away. Coming out the church door, we see Harold Denning, dressed in a Navy uniform with lots of medals attached. Next, we see Yvonne Cummings, Editor of the Upper Sumner Press. and Clarice Adams, dress designer at Chandler's Store, talking on the church steps. My goodness! We got so lost in the wedding viewed in the crystal that our plane landed. Sue helps-d us off the plane and then we had to part. for June was going to a Debate Convention in Pbilads-lphia and l4l must continue my sightseeing trip around the country. After thinking our 1-onv:-r-ation ou-r. it see-uns that no matter how many new friends you meet. you can t ever forget he old ones Juanita Wallace K Class Prophet fq -ESQ .us me a-sifi D AAXL Jhe Wawf iw lf- I J ,,. . if STR.
