May 27, 1965 Washington, D. C. Dear Numskull, Ten years ago I graduated from the now-world-famous: Cullowhee High School, A few months ago I began wondering what my classmates of 1955 were doing, so after making a wide survey this is what I found: I wasn't too much surprised to find that Lyndon Higdon won the Indianapolis 500 after using white-lighting for gasoline, After successfully completing her business course, Marlene Nicholson is now secretary for the J, A. Jones Construction Company. F’reta Middleton achieve her goal at nursing but not as she first thought. She is taking care of her children. I found that Zettie Coggins is taking dictation for Tony Curtis out in Hollywood. Well, I guess Don Wood has his one and only wish of finishing his music course and then joining Mrs. Jones in the music department of Cullowhee High School, In my survey I found that Jean Holden has never caught her a man, I see Margaret Norton is sueing her fifth husband for alimony. It was hard to find much about Edna Hooper because it seems as if she and her husband are moving around quite a bit. Martha Moore is now a missionary teaching United States History in Africa, Jeanne Henson's business degree isn’t doing her much good since she is now practicing Home Economics in her own home, Terry Moses has ten years off his army career and has twenty more to go. In my survey I found that Mary Ann Stephens has just returned to Washington, D. C, from Cullowhee where she investigated the robbery of the Cullowhee Branch of Jackson County Bank. Gordon Lovedahl is well on his way to be a mechanical technician, David Bryson is now flying rockets to the moon and fighting space men on TV, Troy Coggins owns his own garage on Cullowhee Mountain. I think Virginia Stephens must look real gone peering through her maginifing glass and catching crooks, I read in the paper where one of Nurse Naomi Prince's patients just passed on. Betty Bryson’ and Linda Holden are still fighting over their boss, Don William's College career ended with a bang because the dav he graduated he eloped with a redhead and her father saw to it that it ended with a bang. Jacqulyn Wood and Dorothy are now secretaries for road companies, The Wolf Mountain Shoe Factory and the Canada Hat Factory. 17
