Although we hated to leave we boarded a plane to New York to visit a few of our friends who were residing in that city. The first person we saw after we boarded the plane was the hostess, whom we recognized to be Barbara Motley. As soon as we arrived in New York City, we went to the Power’s modeling agency to see Marie Ball and Shirleen Hall whom we knew to be models. They told us that Edith Lawson was head fashion illustrator for Cosmopolitan Magazine” and that Joan Holt was a fashion designer for Saks of Fifth Avenue. She informed us that Barbara Gillie was a recording artist for Decca Records and Frances Mills was a top radio comedian. While we were in New York we decided to go to Madison Round Garden and see the Farnum and Gailey Circus. When we went into the Big Top we immediately recognized Tommy Howell as the ringmaster. We also attended a baseball game while we were in New York, between the Boston No Sox and the New York Rebels. As we read our scorecards we discovered that Pete Overby was the catcher for the No Sox. We left New York after a week s stay and went to Ontario, Canada, where we met Robert Hudson, who was a famous tobacco auctioneer. After a two day stay in Canada, we boarded a plane for Hollywood, California. On the plane we ran into Rudolph Dalton, who said that he was going to the West Coast to start on his new job as book¬ keeper for Hassenfeffer and Snodgrass, dealers in saddle horses. He told us that Revelle Morrison was the head football coach at the University of Southern California and had built them into a national powerhouse on the gridiron. When we arrived in Hollywood, we went directly to the Paramount Movie Studios where we met Tyrus Blackwell and Wesley Edens, who had taken Bud Abbott and Lou Costello’s place as the top comedy team in the U. S. They told us that Betty Carol Johnston had made good as a pianist with Phil Spitalny’s All Girl Orchestra. After a two weeks’ stay in Hollywood we returned to Raleigh, North Carolina, where we visited Earnest Walker and found that he was a professor of Mechanical Engineering at State College. He told us that Theodore Stevens was head of the History department at Duke University. We were left speechless when we heard that R. M. Ainsley, our former principal at Draper High School was a member of the House of Representatives in Washington and that T. W. Teer, our senior homeroom and English teacher was the President of the Consolidated University of North Carolina. After this long search for our former classmates we came back to Draper and accepted positions that had been offered to us by Fieldcrest Mills. By BILL MINTER and GENE CARTER
