CLASS PRUPHEEY As I went about my business in my small music store, I often wondered what my old classmates were doing. It had been five years since the Class of '42 was graduated from dear old Tech High. One day I decided to make it my business to find out about this so I contacted friends in different cities to act as agents for me. From the information supplied by these agents and the newspaper clippings that I managed to secure, I should like to submit the following information to the world at large to show that the graduates of Tech are quite a bit above the average: In Hollywood H. P. Roberts is directing a new picture, You Can't Leave It Behind, starring Sadie Carnes, that glamorous glamor girl who is certain to win the Academy Award this year. It was won last year by Elizabeth Purse: of Twenty-Fifth Century Wolf, owned by Johnny Walsh. FLASH FROM WASHINGTON, D. C.-Senator George Reynolds believes that Congress will pass any day now his bill stating that it should be unlawful for the women to boss the men. He is looking forward to the day when he will once again be his own boss. Peggy Pope is also in Washington. She is secretary to one Marcus Eason Yandle. editor-in-chief of the Washington Host, best known of the Washington newspapers. Charles Wright has racing blood in his veins. Yesterday he was at the Santa Juanita race track, and witnessed a very disappointing race. He says that if his horses don't start doing better, he will have to quit racing for good. From the West Coast comes this story: Jack Holleman, master golfer, who is spending his vacation in Hollywood, wants the directors to stop worrying him. He simply doesn't want to be an actor. Detroit--James Ferguson has been promoted to the position of head engineer for the General Engines Company. He is noted for his keen memory in dealing with statistics. Peggy Simpson has become quite famous because of the hit tunes she has been writing. It is said that her publishers believe that one day one of her songs will reach the top, or pretty near the top, anyway. It has just been announced at Atlantic City that shapely Miss Betty Jean Ridenhour has received the title of Miss America. According to reports the judges were unanimous in their decision. Wall Street, New York-Stocks are the highest in the history of Wall Street. The reason for such prosperity, according to most of the big shots, is that Howard Worrell is directing the buying and selling of stocks in this country. Charlotte, N. C.-Joe Brackett, owner of a chain of Lowland Park Mills, recently celebrated his wedding anniversary. He is happily married and he says that he will stay that way. Broadway--Ann Lewis Helms, voted the zing girl of the year, will be the star attraction for the Seigfried Jollies. Ann says that she will go to the movies after her contract with Seigfried is up. San Francisco-Annie Louise Law's elegantly penned letters daily thrill thousands of people who read her column, Advice to Those Disappointed in Love, which appears in every large newspaper in the country. An agent sends this report from Charlotte: Hazel Wells seemed to like life in a small town so she married and made her home in Charlotte. She has two lovely children, and says that she wouldn't trade places with anyone. Monroe fheadquarters for the Emptier Brush Companyj-It is reported that Ray Selvey turned down a promotion to the office of general manager of the Emptier Brush Company. He says that it is more fun to stick your foot in a door than to sit behind a desk. Oakland, California-Joe Christenbury has just been promoted to the position of foreman in the world's largest aircraft manufacturing corporation. He attributes his success to the mechanical knowledge he received at Tech. Frances Smith, after a long engagement to a former Tech graduate, finally consented to become as one with him. My agent in Charlotte reports that they are still very happy, even after several months of eating canned foods. Los Angeles--Jean Sherrill is doing a ballet number four nights a week at Los Angeles' leading theater, and the rest of the nights she iinds happiness jitterbugging with an old friend at some hot spot. Whing Whang, China--Mirah Robertson and Frances Webb are doing a very humane service for the Chinese. They are enrolled in the Red Cross and are becoming quite skilled in saving lives. Camp Dix-The boys are enjoying life these days. The general in charge just recently married a cute little thing named Le Verne Jones. The general has been in a good mood, and the men hope that things continue to run smoothly between the general and Le Verne. Lottie Mae Griffith, according to my communique in Charlotte, is now head floor lady for Jelk's Department Store, prominent throughout the South. Page Eighteen l94E'TEEH IUUI
