WILL IT HAPPEN? The year is 1980, The place, the Crabtree-Iron Duff High School Auditorium. The occasion, a reunion of the graduating class of 1963. As I look around at this assembly of old friends, I find it difficult to believe that seventeen years have passed since we left the shelter of Crabtree-Iron Duff High School and started out into the world to win fame and fortune for ourselves. Some of us have acquired a few gray hairs, but it ' s easy to see we are still young and charming. We have distinguised citizens among us now -- proof that ambition and determination have been carried out. Carolyn B. Marcus is happily married. She and her husband, David, own Ghost Town in Daytona Beach, Florida. Johnny Bradshaw has chosen military life. He is now a Five-star General in Uncle Sam ' s Army. Deanna Crawford and husband have just returned to their home on the moon. Richard Crawford has been put in prison for the premature burial of his best friend. Barbara Ferguson is living on a dairy farm, and is employed part-time in the Education Building. Lois Greene is the home agent in Haywood County, She was always interested in home making. Melba Greene is cooking for the Crabtree-Iron Duff School, and on her days off, she flies to Cuba in her private plane to teach Castro Spanish. Bill Glance owns and operates the Glance Candy Company near Messer Road. He is peddling candy at the Crabtree basketball games. Jimmy Haynes is a guard at San Quentin Prison. It seems he always did like the other side of the bars. Barbara King, with all her seriousness, has become a very efficient English teacher in California. Ruth McCracken is a secretary working in the capitol at Washington, D. C. Dallas Smith, a state highway patrolman, has just been arrested and fired for permitting former class¬ mates to violate the law. Mary Sue Parks enjoys driving her Chevrolet through the streets of Waynesville, while her devoted husband is making a living as a mechanic. Marie Wood lives on a 200-acre cattle ranch in Abilene, Texas, and during her spare time is Elvis Presley ' s private secretary. She always did like Elvis. And I, Wilma Jones, am living in Hawaii and working as a professional model for the Jansen Clothing Company. It’s one o ' clock now and our party is breaking up. I am tired, but thrilled beyond words. As I say good night to all my friends, my heart is aglow with the warmth and happiness of finding myself once more among these wonderful people of Ole Crabtree-Iron Duff High!
