Joan QGarnerJ Burke. I always knew Paul would get his gal. Paul seems to be losing quite a bit of weight, too much work or the cooking he gets at home. Jean should be careful and not try out too many new recipes. I'd better hurry with this letter because I'm having a bridge party tonight. I've invited Charles and Betty fPra1erJ Randolph. Charles is owner of a large Cob-Pipe Manufacturing Co. in Pile, Mo. Saira Mae Yocum, Georgia Ann York and Mary Lee Venable are also coming. Saira Mae is now a great book writer. S'he 'has written some of the 'best sellers on the mai ket. Such as Adore, Honour and Trust, and The Amazing Adven- tures of Little Henry. Georgia Ann and Mary Lee are both home on a vacation from New York. Of course, you knew they were two of the famous Cover Girls for the Esquire Magazine. I forgot to tell you about my vacation in the West last summer. I ran out of gas in Arizona and stopped at the Bar-B-Q Ranch. I never dreamed that I knew the owner, but sure enough he was one of our old classmates, John Coleman. He told me there were some of our former class- mates working for him. He took me out to the corral, and there was Luther DeJournett training the race horses. John told me he was pretty good too. Luther said he was also a sports commenta- tor on the radio when training season was over. In a distance I could hear someone singing and John told me it was his Chief Boot-Black. We went over and I was very surprised to see that it was Virgil Harris. I remembered Virgil Harris working in a barber shop shining shoes when he lived in Dexter, but I didn't know he was goir g to make it his life career. He hasn't altogether for he married one of the cowgirls at the ranch and seems to be very happy. John invited us to stay for dinner, and I sat down by none other than Ruth Killian. She told me she was on her way to the West Coast to see her husband, Commander Nickens, before he leaves for overseas duty with the Army of Occu- pation. Ruth looks and acts as fine as usual, al- ways giggling. We enjoyed the dinner very much and later found out that the cooks were Herrell Miller and his wife, the former Ruth Roberts. Just as we were getting ready to leave, Vivian Blackman Hopkins drove up in her Oldsmobile. not the one she drove to school. Remember? Vivian is now married to Carroll Hopkins and he is to meet her here in a few days. All in all, I had a real nice trip, but I was glad to get back home, and read my mail. I had a let- ter from Bonnie QDavisJ Findley. She married the boy she wrote to during her Senior year. He is now stationed in the United States as an in- structor in a Motor School. I also had a letter from Georgia QEvansJ Summers. I know youre- member Glenn Summers, don't you? Well, he's the lucky fellow UD Georgia, Glenn, and the two boys are spending their vacation in their summer home in Florida. She was telling me all about her old school chum, Wilma Willis. You know they were always such good friends. Well, they've managed to keep in touch with each other through all these years. Wilma married the Swinger boy. Wasn't his name Melvin? Yes, I know it was. Georgia says they have the cutest little girl! Mel- vin owns a large plantation in Virginia, and'that's where they make their home. . g Did I tell you about 'Carl Bailey? He -married his eighth grade heart-throb, Billie -Lucius, while J. B. Wolfe, Leon Stoker, and Sessell Hutch- craft have all managed to escape the clutches of a woman, although I hear Sessel is still looking. Then, of course, there's Wilma Blunt. Her -big- gest ambition was to get to be a good steno- grapher so slhe could get to sit on her boss's knee. Her ambition seems to be very successful. She is working for the Johnson Orphanage Home. Of course you remember Johnson, Bill Johnson, the owner of the home. Bill always did have a tender feeling for children, Helen Corlew, Wilma's best pal, joined the Waves so she could be with Junior Rose. I think they married, 'thought I be- lieve Junior stayed in the Navy, he liked it so much. Do you remember that diamond that Doris J eau Findley was wearing in sclhool, That was from Toloby Green. He got an honorable discharge and they were married right after graduation. My! This letter is longer than I meant it to be. There was so much to tell you, though, I just didn't know where to stop. It's been swell get- ting to write to you, and hope you've enjoyed read- ing it, as much as I did writing. A Senior of '45.
