Do you remember Gerald Atkins and Billy DarrellT Well they manage an outfit of donkeys, which they furnish to put on donkey-ball games. The persua- der of the donkey's is Willard Bean. Dexter has a radio station now, and its head commentator is Wilson Jarrell, whose wife, Betty Jo, is a dress designer for the Fashion Shop. The Fashion Shop is owned by Wanda Lawrence and Annetta Tracer, and two of their best models are Glenda Milton, who is now a distinct red-head, and Judy Gaddis, who married Bill Jones. Bill is quite famous since his novel, Don't Cuss, Call Us , was published. Dexter, not only has a radio station, but a municipal airport, where the head men are Wayne Hutchcraft and Kenneth Jenkins. Out at the Dexter Drive- In, Delois Eskew is supervising the ushering. Believe it or not, Marilyn Barks, who is living in Detroit, is now the mother of three sets of twins, all boys. Down about Pile Town Lucille Edwards is married, picking cotton, and loving it. It's unbelieveable, but Lois McDaniel is going from town to town playing the accordian and leading Bob Sheets on a chain. This won't even shock you. Caryl Henderson and Charles Locke got hit- ched, and now Caryl is taking in washings, and Charles is working on the rail- road. They have four little Lockes. Caryl's pal, June Jones, is now Mrs. L. L. Mobhersbaugh. She and Louie are raising turkeys out west of town. On the farm right next to theirs William Kimbrel and Jack Jennings are batching and not complaining. They aren't the only bachelors left. J. C. Matthews and Calvin Frame are still single. They work for Jo Ann LaRue, who has taken over the La- Rue Packing Plant and is doing a good job of it. As you expected, Dallas Parks is a principal of Morehouse High School, and teaching at Morehouse are Myrtle and Georgia Neal. Harold James is coaching football at Poplar Bluff, but now Dexter and P.B. are friends. Martha McCracken started to go into the teaching profession, but she married Bill Lamberson, and now Bill is taking care of their babies, and Martha is singing over the radio. Bill's brother John won the National Cotton Picking Contest at Blythesville, and Sammy Sturgess placed second. They were good for something. You'll find Bob Isbell and Anne Yarbro married and living near Bernie. Another couple that struck it off good was James Vernon and Dorothy Waggoner, who moved to Michigan, and now live next door to Betty Potter and her husband. On the military front. Bill Lasater and Junior Godfrey have been very outstanding. They are a Captain and Lieutenant respectively. Out in Hollywood, Kenneth Hillis is co-starring with Barbara Payne and Barbara Shipman in the highly publicised movie, I Saw Him First. There are always a few who turn out as the following three do, but it is to be expected. Leon Ward, Gene Gaines, and Donald Young are very well sat- isfied with standing on the bank corner, holding up the bank building. I have told you all that is to happen to you graduates of '50. If it doesn't turn out as I have prophecied, it is due to the enormous crack which has appeared in ray crystal ball. —23—
