My dear MmIk-I: It is quite lucky for us. the class of ' 35. that you ha|)))eu to be secretary of the .•ihnunae association just at the time Chowan is to celebrate its hundredth anniversary. 1 .-ilso he.-ird th.at you were .Science te;icher there now. Of course. I knew that you would be connected with the collcfic in some way. because it became such a part of -oii when you were there that you would never forijct it. I was quite surprised when I got your letter asking uie to act as secretary to the class of ' 35 and find out what the members of the class are now doing. I have heard from .ill the class either directly or through some other jierson. After quite a bit of work I ha e the information you wanted. Some of our members will be there for the Celebration but a few are so far aw.-iy tli.at it will be impossible for theui to eoiiu ' . I lieard from Nora Mae Ward. Her .iddress is now Hobbsville, North Carolin.i. ■She h;is been teaching the ])ublii ' school tiu-rc since her graduation and has made |iiitt ' :i successful teacher. Thriuigh Nora Mae I heard about Inez Willoughby. Do you remember when Inez was president of our class. ' ' I always knew she would one day be famous. Nora Mae said just at the present time Inez was in China doing some scientific research work. She h.as gone quite a long way from dear old Chowan, hasn ' t she? If you by t ' hauce turn on your radio on .Saturday afternoon you would he.-ir another member of (Uir class, in person — none other than Cora Felt(Ui Hass. She is now a great singer in tlie Metropolitan Opera Company. I received a litter from Kdith .Smith last week. .She is another ime of our class th.-it is a teacher.
