H I L. L I F E — 19 4 3 Senior Prophecy ' . ' ' Chapel Hill, N. C. May 24, 1953 Dear Mrs. Peery: A lot has happened since my freshman year in Chapel Hill High School, but I haven ' t forgotten English classes under you. I was reminiscing the other day, and remembered that you asked us to let you know what we were domg ten years after we graduated from the old school. It really is a small world for I have seen c]uite a few of those who were with me in the class of ' 43. I thought perhaps, if you are still interested, I could tell you about them. .There are some who have become famous and who you have, no doubt, recognized in the newspapers and magazines. For instance, that popular dance team Louise Jones and Douglas Wyatt, who are featured at the Roxy this season. Also the criminal lawver |ohn T. Bri ttain and his secretary Daphene Lacock, who can spell every word in the dictionary. You might have seen pictures of Patsy Andrews and Mary Joe Beck. They are both successful Powers models. I ' m sure you have followed closely the career of Sam McCaulev, matinee idol, since it was your interest that gave him a start as a Playmaker. Since television has come in, I know you have recognized the Lone Song Quartette to be an original C.H.H.S. group. Who would have thought that Alton Rilev, Dan Pickett, Charles Holloway, and Exum Horton would become famous in the music world? Alfred Kirkland and Jimmie Dobbins are still recuperating from nervous breakdowns suffered way back in ' 43 when they edited the Hillife. Nurses Norma Hearn, Mildred Brown, and Margie Duncan describe them as patient patients. Some of my class-mates are now on the teaching staff at the University. Among these are, Earle Waters and Billy Cheek, in the History Department; William Best, an excellent mathematician, and Thomas Bland teaching Erench. Lewis Pendergraft is running a dude farm, for women only. Some of them are, Ann Leonard, Phyllis Bradshaw, and Valeska Haydon. Other prominent Orange County farmers are Lewis Cheek, Clyde Carroll, and Billy Williams. Freddie Fussell is sound-effects man for station WTNT. The latest addition to his repertoire is the sound of a rabbit. I know you ' ll be delighted to know that Richard Lawrence is now Editor of the Chapel Hill Weekly. He has worked himself up to this position since 1942 when he started as a cub reporter. Dr. J. P. Ellington is a chiropodist, now practicing in Durham. He always was at the foot of all trouble. If you will promise not to tip off the F.B.I., I ' ll tell you what Bernard Dark, Bobby Graham, Jack Lloyd, and George Pickard are doing. Well, there are handling the biggest lottery sweep ever to hit Carrboro. As moll for the gang, Claudia Cannady does the drawing. It has all turned out to be a crooked, but profitable, business venture. Sam Hooker and Pig Perry are representing our class in the professional sports world. Sam is on the Chicago football sc]uad while Pig is with the Yankees. Most of us, Mrs. Perry, are settled in our respective notches, happily inconspicuous. You and all our other teachers have guided us in more than the basic school work. Your interest and assistance will always be deeply appreciated by each one of us. Sincerely, Jean Hogan Pas e Tzventy-tu ' o
