The Class May 30, 1952. ' I ' onight, ten years ago, our graduating class proudly walked across the stage of Chatham High with our diplomas. How proud we were and how confident of our success in the life that stretched out before us! .As my mind wanders back to that eventful night, 1 can hardly realize that ten years have passed. A’et, when I consider the many changes that have taken place in my life and the lives of my schoolmates, it seems even a greater length of time. ' ery tew of the members of my graduating class are unmarried. Mr. and Mrs. Haywood Crider, formerly Helen and Honey, now own a very prosperous farm down in the meadow; Haywood is a .State d ' rooper and has hired men to do his farming. I wonder if he’s given Helen a ticket yet! Mr. and Mrs. Nelson Light, yes, the inseparable Folly and Nelson, have been living in Chatham for two years since their marriage. Polly is very proud of her husband who was quite a hero in the Ignited States .Air Corps, and is even more proud of the promising lawyer he is now. Clihord (ieyer and the fair Sara are contemplating matrimony most any day now. Little Sara has been undecided about taking this step for a number of years because she doesn’t quite like that “try-out” plan “Jake” suggested. The former Mabel Dalton is secretary to her husband, Clyde Allen, who owns an automobile factory in Chatham. By the way, he has tires now. M arjie Lee .Anderson finally got the man of her dreams — a handsome six-footer in uniform -nope, it’s not the White this time! What’s more, she plays the piano in the Symphony Orchestra in Carnegie Hall. Gee, who doesn’t envy her! Laye Walters is the secretary of the Commonwealth .Attorney of Chatham. She owns a lovely colonial home out in West Chatham, but as yet has never married because she cannot decide whether she would rather have a minister or a lawyer. Rebecca Edwards is doing quite well as buyer for all the department stores in Chatham. Keep it up, Becky! Inez (Litewood has gone far in the field of music. She is now the second “Kate Smith” and sings over W. L. 1. C., “ orld’s Largest Industrial Center,” Chatham, X’irginia, every night from 7:00 ’til 7:30 p. m. Janies Blanks has at last realized his talent for writing themes (since English l ' in High) and is now a star reporter for the New York Times. It seems as if Nannie Sours really got what she wanted. .She is now .Air Hostess on a huge airliner from California to New A ' ork. Inciden tally, she also landed Bob! Poor Elack ! Nathan Harris has proved to be quite a success in his beloved subject, chemistry. 1 le is now a famous chemist and is trying to discover the source of “Spring Eever.” joe Moschler, none other than Sergeant Moschler of World War II, has made the army a career. He still hasn’t found the nerve to ask Catherine East to be his blushing bride. Eaithful Cathy is teaching Home Economics in Chatham High and is still waiting patiently, (jive him time. Honey!
