jdingd 0 ome In the year of l969, we find ourselves in a helicopter speed- ing to distant and intriguing parts of the world. VVhat do we find? The Senior Class of 19-19 engaged in incredible occupa- tionsl Our first stop is Rosinan, which is a thriving little metropolis of two thousand inhabitants, where we find our high school gridiron hero, Tommy Mitchell, the owner of a fleet of cabs. On many of the billboards in this vicinity are seen posters pro- claiming Bob Martin's fame as a prize Hghter. Moving up the valley, we stop at Caroline Fuller's goat farm for a glass of goat milk. Here, we see Peggy Loftis and Caroline King standing beside a fence debating which is the ubutting end of a billy goat. Continuing our flight, we are soon flying over the Indian Reservation, where we behold Bob Parris sleeping in the sun, He married a Squaw, you know. Much to our surprise as we are crossing the Smoky Moun- tains between North Carolina and Tennessee we meet a strato- cruiser from whose window the hostess, Ethel Galloway, is waving frantically to us! We are now cruising along the Clinch River, approaching Knoxville, the home of Alfred VVeiss who is a chemistry pro- fessor at U. T. Located also in this city is George Pooris fabulous restaurant where Mary Jane Newland is a hash-slinger. After changing our course due south, we settle down for a bit of reading. Picking up an Atlanta Joumal, we read of Barbara Hall's outstanding achievements as a social worker. Turning to the sports section we read that Clemson has just won another game - probably brought about by their enthusiastic cheerleader, Dorothy Gay Rockwood. tSpeaking of games, Bill Talley, it seems, has led his team to victory in the Sugar Bowl.7 The largest ad in the paper is that of Becker's Bakery telling you to Buy Becker's Bread - Tested and Tasted by Jewell Sentellef' VVe are now landing at Phoenix City, Alabama and here to meet us is joe Bill Benson in his state highway patrol car. He is to escort us to Madam Iuanita's,' Cjuanita McCraryJ new fortune telling establishment. VVhile there, she tells us many interesting facts about members of the class of '49. joe Poole is making millions selling brushes - Fuller Brushesg Mary Lou Sweat is umopping up in a barber shop, Lewis Compton is a-massing a fortune with his burlesque show, of which Ruthless Ruth 1Ruth Stiles! is the drawing card, and Dot Price is yelling her head 0E as a tobacco auctioneer at Golds- boro, N. C. Biding Madam Juanita goodbye, we head for the Lone Star State. Resuming our cruise over the flat expanse of Mississippi, we are greatly thrilled by crossing the mighty river, and upon arriving over Texas, we wonder what this state holds for us as far as the class of '49 is concerned and even we are amazed. Upon asking the local inhabitants, we learn that Belva Babb is a rootin' tootin' cowgirl on Richard Mackey's ranch where he trains chickens to be acrobats. Edward McGaha is an embalmer at a funeral home, incidentally, his best customers are the work- ers at Foster Ray's factory making Foster's Famous Fire- crackers . Again we hop in our helicopter, this time heading for San Francisco. Our trip over the Rockies is very astounding due to the majesty and magnitude of these lofty peaks. VVe are happy, however, to reach our re-fueling point, San Francisco. As we are landing, we see Fred Tinsley running out on the field to re- fuel our helicopter. VVhile he is doing this, he tells us of our former classmates who are living on the West Coast. Carol Whitmire is very successfully running a Chinese laundry, Ruth XVhite Bryson has just perfected an amazing formula for the cure of dandruffg George Wilson has acquired fame as a pro- fessional basketball player and johnny Mcjunkin is operating a large billiard parlor. In driving around the city by bus, whose operator is Opal Orr, she tells us that Paul Baker and Clarene Wilde are employed in the fourth Stooge's home as butler and maid. Now that our plane is refueled and our provisions have been gathered in, we begin our long journey to China, After many hours of Hying, we see an object on the water and Hying closer we find it to be Charles Osborne and Hazel jones on a certain slow boat. The Pacific Ocean was quite a big pond, but our helicopter successfully completed the trip. The information was only for the asking, for with a few well-placed questions we found that Shirley Brown is industriously engaged in growing silk worms, Buck Thomas is an outstanding priest in a monastaryg Anne Duckworth has just completed a new novel on the rebirth of China and Helen Allison is driving a streetwasher in Hong Kong. - Leaving the land of coolies, chopsticks, and oriental curiosi- ties, we continue West. After many hours of tiresome flight across the barren wastes of Russia, we finally arrive in France. Stopping at a swanky resort on the Riviera, we see none other than Peggy Alldred recovering from a nervous breakdown. Her efficient nurses are Corrie Lee Rutterbush and Bobbie Jean Nicholson. Visiting her are Mable Lance. a representative of CBS, and Louella Mc-Crary, technical advisor to the same cor- poration. While visiting the gay spots of Paris, we meet in one of the restaurants, Margaret Davis, an exchange teacher of English. She is accompanied by Lois Heath and Perry Lee Merrill, who are running a big establishment - a Hea circus, in the outskirts of the city. They inform us that another of our classmates, Regina Lindley, is tracing down a tough case for Scotland Yard. With a pang of regret we leave fascinating Europe and again joumey across the ocean. Our first stop is New York where we visit Saks, whose patrons are enthusiastically accepting Charles Gallowayis new trends in fashion. NVe find Bill Brittain, the authority on women's hem lines, busily engaged in conferences with the ladies. Moving down to the docks, we greet Danis Barton, a news commentator, who has just retumed to the U. S. after vacationing in Monte Carlo. He tells us that Steve Cochran is a missionary in South Africa, and that Margaret McGuire is a big game hunter in the Congo. He also informs us that Bette Nicholson is the editor of Woman's Day and Blanche Allison is her assistant. We leam, too, that Kathryn Bishop is an expert masseuse in Philadelphia, Mazana Cauble is a student of medicine at Jeffer- son Medical School and last but by no means least, that in the old city of Boston, jack Zachary is a well-known banker, Clara Bell Tabor is a conductor of the Philhannonic Orchestra and Mary Burgess is employed as butcher in Elmer Sentelle's shop. Down in Greenville, S. C., he adds, that our editor-in-chief of the '49 Brevardier, Mary Alice Hollifield, is employed by the Keys Printing Company as typesetter. Stopping over in Washington, D. C., we are delighted to hear that Bob Loftis has been elected president on the Demo- cratic ticket. Two of our Congressmen are Paul Mann and Jack Pressley, who have recently been in the limelight by filibuster- ing whether chickens roost better on round poles than square ones. Grace Baynard is now a lawyer for a large corporation and Mable Crowe is her Secretary. Upon visiting the F. B. I., we discover I. Edgar Hoover has lost his job to the Masters sisters, Ada and Edna. A Hash is just coming over the teletype that Barbara Faye McCall has been made head matron at Sing Sing. At last after discovering many lost horizons, we are re- turning to the 'thills of home . En route from Asheville to Brevard, we pass over Bob Patton's new factory which manu- factures left-handed screwdrivers. Our town has been growing rapidly. It must be due to the fact that it contains so many enterprising citizens from the class of '49, such as Clara Iean Farmerjs Federation, James position of janitor of a new contractor, who has just mansion and Henry Pierson season orchid. As we prepare to land of '49 has certainly attained r Parrish, who is chief clerk at the Martin, who has just accepted the Brevard High, Charles johnson, the completed Haskell Iones, palatial who has just perfected a new all- we unanimously acclaim, The class its place in the world!
