Ralph Keen and Sequoyah England are partners in one of the largest law firms in New York. Jack Junior Jackson, now a resident of Hawaii, was recently elected U. S. Sena- tor from there. No doubt he will deliver some stirring speeches while in office. Barbara Luke, as you probably know is a missionary to Africa. Tom Keener and Junior Lewis are big rodeo stars now. For some time now, Warner Brothers have been trying to sign them up to replace those old Western stars, Roy Rogers and Gene Autry. Shirley Jones, surprising as it may sound, is now a chemistry teacher in her home town, Hugo. Arnetice Bigmosquito and Jean Bevenue are still sticking pretty close together as scrubwomen in Madison Square Garden where they can see the sporting events free. Do you recall how Elizabeth Brave used to wish to be a mortician? Well, her highest ambition has been realized. She has gone into partnership with the Ensley Morrises. Mary Louise Lena owns the Purity Cafe in Arkansas City now. She always did like to work there. Remember how Charley Chewey and the Clodhoppers' Band used to thrill us all with their hillbilly music at our assemblies? That band has really gone places. They have replaced Leon McAul- liffe on KVOO in Tulsa with Mary Ann Cochran and Carol Grigsby as their soloists. Levada Smith, Trudy Bigpond and Annie Ruth Ripley are serving as angels of mercy at the Memorial Hospital in Arkansas City. Gene Burris, the famous broncho buster, is one of their most fre- quent patients, Imogene Columbus lassoed a million- aire from Texas and has learned to brag like a real Texan. Margaret Lee and Margaret Wagoshe have formed a nationally known airline known as Margaret and Margaret, In- corporated, with Jane Taugelchee as their trim hostess. I was sorry to hear that that widely feared bandit, Lupe Gooday, had robbed Mr. Garrison and the Chilocco Bank of all their money last week before Police- woman Corrine Williams could come to the rescue. A nationwide alarm has been put out for him, so be careful. You know Lupe! Tony Wilson and Louis Green turned out to be preachers. Junior Ahdunko is now chief camera- man in Vernon Hunter's movie studio in Hollywood. Vernon purchased M G M and Gloria Batt is the leading lady in all his latest productions. Unbelievable as it may sound, Johnny Narcomey and James Ellis are dignified college professors now and the presidency of the University of Illinois is being de- cided between them. Ronnie McLemore has been named Romeo of- the 20th Century since he replaced Victor Mature on the screen. I Emmitt Bean and Charles Skinner have finally compromised and formed a duet very popular with the bobby soxers. James Nelson is a leading young doc- tor in Oklahoma City now and Lenora Littlecreek is his office assistant. Leo Roach, who re-enlisted in the army after graduation, is being considered by President Howerton to be Supreme Commander-in-Chief of the U. S. Armed Forces. Crosslin Smith is the sheriff in Musko- gee County and is doing a fine job of cleaning up the place as he calls it. On my vacation a few weeks ago I visited the State Fair in Muskogee. Many of our classmates have gone into the carnival business. Edith Wesley married the owner and was at the gate helping Frances Moreno and Sally Battiest sell tickets. They told me to be sure and see Johnny Lee Vance, the strong man who was making all the girls swoon with his amazing feats of strength. As I wandered around with a bag of popcorn I noticed Nora and Milford King and their eleven boys having a rip-roaring time on the merry-go-round. Nora Jean always said she wanted a football team of her own. The fat lady of the circus was none other than Minnie Jane Smith, now tip- ping the scales at 303 pounds. The funniest clown act that I ever did see was Donald Mendez, and all little Donald did was act natural. Jimmy James was the cute organ grind- er with Eugene Bohanan perched on his shoulder holding the cup. Perry Wilson had entered his prize Hereford bull in the stock show and be- fore the Grand Champion ribbon could be placed on the bull, it tthe bulll dropped dead of malnutrition, The honorable judge was none other than Dan Williams. Clara Pittman and Jimmie Gail Gourd were the tight rope walkers while Elissie Belle Celestine did a graceful ballet dance to the tune of t'Rocket 69 . In one of the side shows they were ad- vertising the two-headed man, but they couldn't fool me. I could tell it was Just Dean Jackson with Jack Jackson stuck down in his shirt. - Well, Norma, it's getting late. Recess is over. I have 25 children this year first graders, that is and I have promised to tell them a story about the Class of l953. Your friend. Vera Gourd -25.-
