Ten long years have passed and I see my former classmates at Valley View scattered all the way from New York to Europe. Much to her delight, Martha Sue Owens is a singer in a ritzy Night Club in Chicago where she entertains nightly. Kelly Arthur Clark has proven that he is the Most Studious Boy . He has gone through college and is now a great math professor. To those who have been wondering about Patsy Ruth Collins and jane Hannah, they still make a trip to Reno once a year. Seems as tho they just can't find a man whom they can please. Anita Griffin is playing basketball with the All-American Red Head Team, While the once bashful Doyle Yarbrough is now singing with a famous band. Dale Alexander finally married one of his numerous city girl friends. Howard Norman lives in a one room shack on Whitzell Ditch. It seems as if Betty Trammel has become a wrestler so watch the wrestling schedule as she may appear here soon. jimmy Bulla and Jimmie Green received a college education and have gone abroad to study aft. They plan to come back to Valley View and teach designing and build floats. Melvin Hall is still driving the school bus and attending ball games. He never did get started on his musical career as he had once planned. Billy jack Simpkins has married, he and his family are living on a large plantation up in the mountains. joe Campbell is operating a chicken farm near Jonesboro, and I hear he is doing quite well. Frank Allen is still living up to his Biggest Pest name, he's quite an outlaw and has escaped to California now. Mary Ruth Loggins has made quite a success with her married life, she and Charles are now operating the McAnnally farm. Bobby Wright is still playing baseball with the Cardinals. Eulas McCrackin hasn't changed a bit - - he's still playing ball - - with the Valley View Independents. Who would have thought Evelyn Mote would have turned out to be a great musiciang but all her music is written in flats - - - If you happen to be in New York, drop in at the Ladies Swank Shop and have made to order any of the fine wearing apparel made by the own hands of Patsy Darr and june Clar, former seamstresses of Valley View. Minnie Belle Magee is married to a famous lawyer - - she helps him in his cases. She received her experience from Valley View. Harry Wilson is the new hair stylist for the new movie production company in Jonesboro. He specializes in Home Toni. Who would have thought Ralph Christian, after ten years of steady labor, would retire from all work. Well, looks, as if Tom Metcalf is making a speech in the White House tomorrow. Of course, you know, he is president now. I attended the Rose Bowl Game in California, and Garfield Edgar is still escorting queens. 1. D. Graves is quite a prominent young lawyer - - seems he got his start in law at Valley View.
