business after graduation. She's made quite a name for herself, I hear . . . and there's Rosie Echard with bag in hand. Anna's thrilled to see her. I lzanew that Rosie had become head stenographer at Woodrow Wilson Rehabilita- tion Center. Every one tells me that she is doing a wonderful job. Oh, that California sun! Isn't it wonderful? That little white house is where Beverley Hodge lives. There she is, strolling down the sandy beach. Doesn't Joan Freshour look stunning in that sun dress .... Beverley wrote me not long ago that Joan was spending her vacation with her. She said that Joan is em- ployed as a Powers Mcdel and is one of their very few true blondes. I'Iere's a program on the opening session. of the Federal World Government, successor to the United Nations. Let's watch, shall we? Why there's Betty Joy Baylor, herself, now successor to Eleanor Roosevelt. Dr. Baylor speaks five languages fluently. Now she is speaking: I attribule my deep and abiding belief in World Government to my first de- bating experience in my junior year at Chur- chville High School, Churchville, Virginia. . . . Well, if that doesn't put our alma mater in the spotlight! And now, an advertisement on building. I'm sure this firm would be commendable, because Fred Botkin is the construction engineer and Fred Strickler, who owns a sawmill with Mr. Ben Michael, is furnishing the lumber. With the price of lumber as high as it is, they should be doing very well. Fred Botkin's latest con- tract is to build an addition to the John Lewis Consolidated School at Buffalo Gap. He's in- vited me down in August to his lovely country place Stone House near Churchville. Betty Joy will be there, too, of course. It's to be a huge house party, he says. Claw I, Genevieve Lambert, will my basketball ability to Phyllis Shinault. I, Anna Shull, will my job in the lunch room to whoever likes to wash dishes. I, Howard Beck, will dent of S.C.A. to Harry I, Donald Clifton, will girls to S. A. Lockridge. I, Joan Freshour, will to Dorothy Crickenbarger.

Bobby Wimer and Calvin Griffin in it. Calvin is selling cars in Phila- delphia and doing a wonderful job. Captain Wimer is on a leave from the Air Force. He is stationed in Washington and flies the Presi- dent on his pleasure trips. And theres our senior class sponsor on a stage. She's introducing the Honorable John C. Shreve, Mayor of Staunton, to a huge audience. He is now beginning his speech as he dedicates the new memorial city auditorium in Staun- ton. I hear that Miss Sieg is teaching drama at the Univerity of Virginia now. Fred Lee Lovegrove comes through clearly on television, doesn't he? The Acco Feeds have him appearing on their program, because he raised the best chickens in Virginia during 1959. I'm sure his courses in a:ricuTture at Church- ville High School and V.P.I. have helped him to achieve this fame. And theres his wife be- side him! Oh look! Theres Velma Gordon in Mayor Shreve's office. Shes the most efficient sten- ographer Dr. Shreve says he's ever had. The work she did as Editor-in-Chief of The Globe, she insists, gave her valuable experience. Well, how in the world did they get me on television? Oh, I remember, they had a funny little machine in my office the other day. Seems they wanted a secretary to appear on a program and happened to pick on me, because I design women's clothes in my spare time. It helps financially here in New York where liv- ing is so expensive. Well, it's seven-thirty and heavens, but I'm hungry. Didn't I have a dinner engagement? Oh, yes, I remember my date is to call for me at eight o'clock. I better hurry and get ready. . . . What shall I wear? will I, Fred Lovegrove, will my gentle manner to Richard Collins. -Lois Ann Cook, Class Prophet I, Betty Joy Baylor, will my ability to make noise to Caroline Goodman. I, Fay Graham, will my musical ability to Dorothy Hartman. I, Glenn Peters, will my ability to be tardy to Billy Wagner. , I, Calvin Griffin, will my height to Lewis Riley. I, Betty Michael, will my retrouse nose to Miss Dutton. I, Beverley Hodge, will the bottle of nitric acid found in the Senior Room to whoever put it there. 1Continued on Page- 203 C111
