61144 Pfl0Pf12Cllf After ten long, hard years of work I have Hnally attained a place in the world of aviation. Although the airport of which I am a part owner isn't the biggest one in the world Cit consists of only two airplanes, a five hundred foot runway, and a converted barn for a hangarD, it serves its purpose very well. The other day when business wasn't at its best, I decided to take a cruise around the country to see if I couldn't look up some of my old classmates. Leaving the Held in charge of my partner and lifelong companion, Cecil Sloan, I took off to see what I could see. I headed straight for Charlotte, and as I flew over the beautiful city, I noticed a great neon sign which read Skialmore's Electric Repair and Appliance Company. It looked as if Ray was doing all right for himself. I proceeded to land on the Tech High athletic field, and as I stepped from my ship who should greet me but Evelyn Hollars, the school secretary! Her great speed in typing had landed her that wonderful job. Leaving my airplane behind, I took a little walk toward the corner. When I got there. I discovered the cafe had changed owners. Emadean Helms, Shirley Black, and Martha lean Shaw were now the proud proprietors. Next to the cafe Ralph Adkins and Gerald Blume had built a recreation center complete with pool tables and piccolo. Imagine my surprise when I stepped on the Belmont bus and found Cecil Bryant driving it! He told me he was going to organize a bus line of his own in the verv near future. I left the bus at the square and walked straight into Officer Bobby Reid. Bobby was now a cop, and he seemed to have the situation well in hand. I strolled on down Trade Street to the Post Office, and iust as I walked past the driveway, P. Conder and Clifford Correll came speeding out in a brand new mail truck. A little farther down the street from the Post Ofiice a new building was being con- structed, with Sue Sykes in charge of the interior decorating. Since this was the rush hour, it looked as though I might have to wait indefinitely for a busg however, at this point Bill Wentz came up in a big Cadillac and offered to take me back to the school. Bill informed me that lonsie Hannon, loanna Hopkins, and lean Parker were opera- ting a super beauty salon, while Bay Miller was a big time lawyer and Pete Cruise was the city's best veterinarian. lerry Oates. Bill added, now operated the Parkwood Phar- macy. Louise Horne had her hands Full with three very cute children. lust as we reached the school. Bill informed me that there was a big golf tournament going on at Myers Park, and Morris Brackett Ca prol was competing for top money. I was sorry I didn't have time to see him play, but it was time for me to be leaving if I wanted to see the rest of my old friends. I decided my next stop should be Washington. I wanted to stop over there to see Senator Herman Bailes, who was using his inHuence in trying to repeal the law which let women vote. Congressman Howard Moore, his most ardent opponent, wanted to let the children vote. My airplane had iust come to a stop when I saw Airline Hostess Loretta Freeman stepping off a Stratoliner. Inviting her to have dinner with me, Herman and Howard, who seemed to be on wood terms with each other when they were away from Con- gress, I took her to the famous Cafe Staryelloff, owned by none other than Velda Ceer. It was time to leave again and this time my destination was New York. Making a quick trip, I arrived there iust before sundown. Before long I found myself on Broad- way gaping at the bright lights and heavy trafhc. I really don't think anyone would have believed me if I had told him that Bill Hubbard was now a great Broadway producer, but it was the truth. He was now producing a drama which starred Carl Dunn and Patsy Horton in a play that was sure to run for two years. lust down the street from Billis oHice was the Trammell Art Academy, operated by Mary .lo Tram- mell.
