4, ' nw I x r Class Prnpherz Ten years ago we, The Senior Class of Dunlap High School parted, each going down different roads of life. Tonight I KMartha Lewis! am one of the tiredest yet happiest people in the whole world, because I have just returned home with my husband lBob nilkersonl after comolete tour to all parts of interest in the states and the u50,0CO jack-pot I won on Wjtop the hhsic.V While on the train I decided to take it upon my self to check in all towns we were going to stop in and see if any of my old classmates were now residing in any of these places. In Cumberland, Maryland, I found Reginia Hartless as a teacher at Cather1ne's Business College. From here we traveled west to Chicago, Illinois, where we found Byron Bratton as a bartender in one of the biggest hotels. Yellow Stone National Park was our next stop and here we found Bessie Wright walking James Jr. Then on to the sunshine state where we found Jesse Southall in Hollywood as swoon crooner of 1961. One eyening as we were watching the ships come and go in the harbor at the Golden Gate we chanced to see Dorothy Ray boarding a ship for a missionary trip to China. From here we turned southward to Houston, Texas where we found Thelma Boone happily married to a wealthy oil man. Next, we stopped in St. Louis, Missouri, and it was there we found Roberta Graham studying medicine. Then we went south, and at Key West, Florida we were informed that Martha Byer was working as secretary in Burmuda. Once back in Virginia we found Jean Morris as a beautician in Covington, Vir- ginia. At Radio Station WKEY we had the pleasure of being entertained by VBunny Mann and his Radio Play Boysn. When we stopped at Dunlap High School we were greeted by Bobby Carter who had successfully completed a Charles-Atlas Course, and was employed as Physical Education Instructor and married to the charming Becky Holcomb in our absence. Then we journeyed to West Virginia where we found Harley Cottrell coach.ng football at Davis and Elkins College in Elkins, West Virginia. Now on to Washington D. C. where we were met by the former Miss Betty Lou Brisendine who was married to Gene Treynor and also employed in an office. We also, visited June Morris who was busy advising Congress on Political matters. On our last lap of our journey north we found Mary Holcomb teaching History at the University of Alleghany. Back in New York we found Eldon Thomgson who was fighting for the hampionship of the World in Madison Square arden. At the airport we saw the former Ruthie 0'Conner returning from her honeyh moon in Hawaii. Julla Harmon was also employed in a Chemical laboratory. The Wilson Brothers CSam and Aaronj were busy raising cranberries in Connecticut. We ended our tour by stopping in Vermont where we were amazed to find the former Emma Lou Southall, her husband, and two children skiing.

We, the class of 1951, in the twenty-four individual and distinct parts being about to pass out of this sphere of education, in full possession of a crammed mind, well-trained memory, and almost superhuman understanding, do make and publish this, our last will and testament, hereby revoking and making void, all former wills or promises by us at any time heretofore made, mayhap, carelessly spoken, one to the other, as the thoughtless wish of an idle hour. As to such estate as it hfs pleased the Fates and our own strong hands and brains to win for us, we do dispose of the same as follows: Item: First we will our new seats to the Junior Class in hope that they may fill them as promptly and faithfully in the future as we have in the past. Item: The following may seem but trifling bequests, but we hope they may be ac- cepted, not as worthless things lavishly thrown away because we can no longer keep them, but as valuable assets to those who may receive them and a continual reminder of the generosity of heart displayed in our face and full bestowal: lst 2nd 3rd hth 5th 6th 7th 8th 9th 10th 11th 12th 13th lbth 15th. 16th 17th 18th 19th 20th 21st 22nd 23rd Zbth Thelma Boone wills her typing skill to Mildred Perkins.
