V PRCDPI-IECY President, we stop to pick him up. Seen running up the road, to catch us as we stop, is Mr. Bobby Braswell, marathon runner. Miss Alice Barnette, Woolworth Heiress, pulls up in her Oldsmobile, to tell us that she will be at the party tonight. She has with her Miss Elaine Buckheister and Miss Lucille Morris, telephone operators. After picking up our country cousin, we stop at one of the many A 8: P Stores to find Miss Joann Clark, half owner, checking her high profits. When we return to the house we are stopped short by what sounds like French to me and after a little investigation, I find it to be Miss Beverly Astrom, French Ambassador, and Miss Marlene Henson, French teacher. I return to the sitting room, and, hearing wonderful singing I ask Barbara Gamble, Physical Education teacher, to tum up the radio. Much to my surprise I am told that it is our own Bing Crosby. I walk out to the terrace and as I near it I hear swooning and know before I get there, it must be Mr. America, who is none other than our charming Al Hill. Tennis cham- pions, Grace Deas and John Streuber, are seen playing a game which is to be interrupted by Dick Beach, inventor of that new type lawn mower, who has to try it out on that particular spot. Oh, well, so life goes. Miss Joanne Glenn, Editor of Ladies' H om: Journal and Miss Juanita Hill, interior decorator, have arrived to look over the mansion to make changes if necessary. Miss Anna Hagen is heard in the den lecturing to the children of Mrs. Martha Johnston Singletary and Mrs. Jean Lambert Wilcox. Pete Cook and Thaddeus Scott, famous duelists, are practicing in the yard so that makes it dangerous to venture out there. I head for the shower to get ready for the party tonight but I find Miss Ella Elsey, editor of the society page, has already had the same brain storm. Not knowing where else to go, I joumey to my room, where I find Mr. Benjie Kinard, the new Atlas, doing gymnastics in the hall. The phone rings and, side-stepping Atlas, answer it. It was Furman Langdale saying that he and his wife, the former Miss Wilma Williams, couldn't attend the party, due to the fact that Wilma has just become the mother of triplets. I go to announce the news to the crowd and find June King, artist, painting their portrait. Peter Kear and Bobby McCarn, wrestlers, are the first to get the idea that we had better eat and then prepare ourselves for the dance. You might know someone like Miss Edna Joye, popular clothes model, would knock over the tea, which causes that comedy actress, Connie Karesh, to start with her jokes. Mr. Robert Housand, army pilot, is the first to leave the table followed by orchestra leader, Billy Lemmonds. The time of the party is nearing and Mr. Gavin Broadus, English channel swimmer, escorting Miss janet Carter, candidate for the presidency, are the first to arrive. They are followed by Eugene Whitehurst, manu- imma' facturer of those sharp cars, and Miss Ann Chinnis, secretary to Rockefeller. Everything is getting under way, and who is this coming all decked out in furs? Miss Quida Ott, singing star, and Miss Pat Palmer, one of the ten best-dressed women in America. Every- ones attention is requested and Mr. Tommy Carner, dog veterinarian, announces the opening of his office in two weeks. Then Miss Norma McCall and Miss Betty Bair, beauty operators, announced their engagements. We heard loud laughter and turned to find Betty Currow and Sara Montgomery, shoe designers, listening to those radio comedians, Mr. Billy Cooper and Tip Hall. joan Bates, novelist, is hunting for that new Einstein, Herbert Wilder, to write his life. Emmett Padgett, broadway producer, is seen scouting around for talent. The famous playwright, Max Petzold, is chatting with Johnny Free- man, newspaper reporter, and Miss Gene Vernier, golf champion. A motorcycle is heard, and we see approach- ing the driveway Mr. Louis Ferunden, motorcycle dare- devil. Betty Lewis, bacteriologist, is overheard explain- ing things to the scientist, Freddie Kanehl. Coming in, all exhausted, is Miss Joan Bergquist, airline hostess, who explains she almost didn't make it. Mary Frances Barnette, librarian for Chicora, is sitting quietly by. Evelyn Cate, food taster, is doing just that, and between bites of food she is talking to Virginia Floyd, owner of Kerrisons. The North Pole explorer, Jeff Black, has just entered the room and everyone is rushing over to hear about his latest expeditions. Patsy Harris, x-ray technician, and Bety Hull, dietitian, are talking over the day's work. Norma Locke and Docia Meyer, missionaries, are telling of their experiences to quite a crowd of listeners. The three branches of service are well represented. We see Lieutenant Leath Mae Woodberry, Wacg Velma Shull, Spar, and Ermaline Clayton, Wave. Mayor Clayton Miller, is now being introduced. Norma Murray, florist owner, is to be thanked for the beautiful flowers through- out the mansion. Pat Hotchkiss, buyer for Belk's De- partment Stores, and Bessie Halloway, receptionist for Dr. Tommy Myers, are seen coming up the walk. Tommie Sargeant, college professor, is greeted by several old classmates. Mecy Harrell, studio photographer, is snapping pictures left and right. She is seen taking the picture of one of Hollywood's actresses, Carol Davis, at the moment. Next in line we find Julie Smoak, pedi- atrician, Atmar Rice, water commissioner, calls our attention to the door, where we see entering the retired principal of Chicora, Mr. H. L. Corder, and the new principal, Warren Holladay. The time has come for us to depart until next time, which we hope won't be another I0 years. As for me, I still remain Miss Buzzard, Mava Box, looking for a Mr. Buzzard.
