Testors TIME CHANGES THINGS This twenty-sixth day of May. nineteen hundred andforty-seven in Alamance County. Editor Boyd Somers, of the Ossipee Dispatch recently brought from his scrapbook of unusual clippings this article about the reunion of the class of ' 47. Though yellow with age. and a few words missing here and there, we read the following account with interest. In the ballroom of the Ellis Laundry, Suffolk, Va.. a class reunion took place on D cember 20. 1962 Mr. and Mrs. Woody Ellis, joint host and hostess, we;e in charge of the program. Honored guests were the members of the class of ' 47, and though scattered far and wide, all put forth special effort to attend this meeting. The Honorable Theron Gilliam. Senator from N. C., delivered the welcome toast. Admiral Paul Michaei hastily prepared the response, as he knew nothing of his part of the program until his arrival. Habitually everyone began talking about old times, and Rev. Wayne Kernodle could hardly get silence long enough to have a short devotional period. He and his wife, the former Betty Van Simpson, journeyed from Ohio for the occasion. Comedian Fred Barber took the floor, and presented his impersonation of the late Bob Hope. Hollywoou was represented by the newest ‘ Betty Grable” find, Ruth Neighbors, and the new crooner for the Bobby-Soxers —Mr. Larry Anderson. Special gifts for the hostess, former teacher of the class in Altamahaw-Ossipee School were presented by Dean Barker, who has assumed duties as principal of a Burlington City School. Some gifts were a gown from Macey’s in New York designed by Miss Geneva Foster, a year ' s beauty course at the Way ' s Beauty Salon in Suffolk, owned and operated by Mrs. Clyde Way. Jr. the former Peggy Morton; a life size portrait in oil by artist Jack McCray: a record player, radio combination donated by Joseph Simpson, manager of Simpson’s music shop accompanied by two albums of Columbia records by popular Singer Lydia Iseley, who has received wide acclaim like the late Kate Smith. During the program, the hostess visited the nursery to see that Etta Strader, professional baby sitter, had the twins—Windy Dale and Linda Gale, well under control. Between the course of events, Mary Satterfield, professional health specialist, fainted and Dr. Ned Ross ad ministered first aid, assisted by his private nurse. Margie Madren. Sudden commotion was aroused when Aviator David Bell zoomed over the building in his privately owned passenger plane and made a tardy appearance with the hostess of the plane, Edith Kernodle. Featured on the program was the swing music of Dink Gwynn s orchestra, successors to the late Guy Lom¬ bardo. with vocals by Larry Anderson and Lydia Iseley. Secretary Catherine Simpson kept a record of the evening ' s events, but it was written in shorthand and had to be translated. Guests who traveled long distances spent the night with Misses Nancy Rudd and Hazel Dunevant. joint owners of local boarding house. Miss Frances Beckom. saleslady from California. Miss Rebecca Southard Basket ball coach for Woman ' s College. N. C., Mr. and Mrs. Elmo Jones, (the former Virginia Somers of Ossipee) and Miss Louise Mansfield—house-wife-to-be (?) were among the overnight guests. Only member of th? class not present was Miss Dixie McIntyre, who has been in solitary confinement in a spinister ' s home for twelve years and refuses to see anyone except male visitors—of which she has none. Party decorations were by Miss Betty Jean Troxicr—interior decorator from New York. News reporter for the occasion was Nellie Mae Madren of the Ossipee Dispatch. Page Nineteen
