HAFER TEACHER AND FRIEND Clarke County High School J une , 1955 Dear Mother and Dad, To show my appreciation to you I dedicate this page of The Talon. I can only begin to thank you for the guidance, patience, and love you have given me through my years in school . When I first started out I knew not what I would have to face and all the understanding I would need, and without your help 1 might have been easily led astray. It was you who spanked me when I played hooky; washed my dirty face; saw me out on my first date and waited for me to come in. It was you who sat up all night when I was sick; who let me go along with the latest fads; who tried to teach me that right was right, and wrong was wrong. You were always there when needed, giving your advice and encouraging me when lessons were hard, holding an ideal before me, making this graduation day possible. For all these I thank you deeply in trying to show you my appreciation. Lovingly , Your Graduating Son or Daughter Mr. Charles E. Miley Principal Mr. P. L. Baumgardner Miss Vivien M. C.

We had just gotten back from our vacation and found mail scattered everywhere. The top letter was from Carolyn Foltz and I opened it with pleasure. I hadn’t seen her since she and Juanita Corbin joined the Air Force. Was I delighted to read she was now lieutenant! “ J uanita’ s promotion should come through anytime I read. “Last weekend we visited Juanita Ritter in Washington. She’s a manager for Woodward and Lothrop’s. She brought me up to date on several of our old classmates. Joyce Strother owns her own beauty salon in New York, and Phyllis Pine is a hair stylist in Hollywood. “I’ll bet you ' re glad to have Gene home . I never dreamed he’d make military service his career. I suppose you’re still keeping books at that bank. Which reminds me, Shirley Moore is working as a teller in the First National Bank back in Berryville. Anne Silman is married. So is Mary Carper. Mary sews for people in her spare time, and has rather a profitable busi- ness. Doris Foltz and Phyllis Silman are working as secretaries for J. V. Arthur Insurance Co. “Have you received your Invitation to the class reunion yet? I laid Carolyn’s letter aside and hurriedly inspected the rest of the mail. I held the invita- tion up for Gene to see. “It’s tomorrow,” I told him. The next day was bright and beautiful. When we reached Berryville we went directly to the schoolhouse . As we rounded the corner, we saw Margie Heflin and Agnes Longerbeam getting off the bus; so we stopped to pick them up. Margie remarked she was tired and Gene asked, “Have you come far ? ” “Just from Washington,” Aggie told him. “We’re working for the UnitedStates Department of Agriculture. The other day we met Margie Burleson and Martha Boyd coming out of the same building. Margie Is a typist and Martha is a combination filing clerk and wife . Oh, yes Betty Lake’s anniversary was today. After she married she went into part-time Christian ser- vice. Doris Dodson did, also. She’s a foreign missionary in Africa.” We had arrived at school by now, and we met Carl Collis who told us he was still farming. “Cliff Price, Buddy Willis and I should supply enough food for the whole U. S.”, he told us. As we went in, Kathryn Bell was waiting to receive us. She started to tell me how interest- ing her fashion work was but someone came in, and we moved on. Right away Joe Dove called to Gene, and I stopped to talk with Floyd Breeden, who had late- ly been promoted to Chief Petty Officer in the Navy. He said he had just seen Benny Ashby and Charlie Paget. “They were e di c i ti e as usual,” he said, “They both came back to Berryville to be home town doctors, I learned from them that Chester Hobert is a Certified Public Accountant and that Ronny Kercheval and David Ranjsburg are both profitable merchants here in Berryville. Jimmy Ritter and Lyle Butler came back, too. Lyle, as County Agent and Jimmy as the owner of Ritter Construction Company.” Gene joined us then, and told us that Roger Garrett and Joe Dove were still in the Army. Nan Allen Levi came over and said she was teaching the first grade here at Clarke County and Sue Ellen Clevenger is a nurse in Massachusetts. We also learned that Jesse Fleming is con- sidered about the best mechanic ' around these parts and Elsie NewHn is a nurses’ aid in the Winchester hospital, Anna Jean McDonald is Home Demonstration Agent and Margie Mauck is happily married. Nancy Feagans camcTup and told us it was time to eat. “Jackie brought all the food,” she said. “He’s state supervisor of the A P stores and I have a full-time job as both his secre- tary and wife ’ “What’s Shelby doing now?” Floyd asked, “Oh, Shelby is a model for some big firm in New York and is going to Paris soon. Donny Royston is going to teach her to speak French, Donny is a pretty good French teacher He told me Walter Barr is the New York Yankee’s star pitcher.” At the table I sat down By Barbara Hibbard and said, “Tell me all about yourself.” She laughed and said, “After I graduated I married a nice prosperous farmer. We have three child- ren and are all very happy. She remarked that it was a shame Sandra and Joan couldn’t be with us. “Where are they?” someone asked and she replied, “They are both in Europe; Joan on a concert tour with her husband and Sandra assisting her doctor-husband.” We had almost finished eating when Jane Sipe and James Phillips came in. “I’m sorry we’re late,” James said, “But we just completed a transcontinental flight . Jane makes a fine stewardess,” After we finished eating, it was getting late and we had to get back to the children. So we made the rounds together and told everyone goodbye, until the next class reunion.
