Earlene May is now in Paris. She owns and operates nThe Latest Fashions from Pareen shop in that city. Her general manager, of course, is Eddie Hountree. Tommy Pope, I see, is in California. He has a large 2,000 acre ranch of orange trees. He calls them NTexas Beauties.U : I've been wondering for some time why they changed all those chain stores' names from UKressU to WRoby,H but Pluto said that Lois has bought Mr. Kress out a d didn't like his name. Orville Sibley has been nicknamed after that famous statesman Benj. Franklin, as UPeacemakerH. He even has a newspaper column headed, NOur Private Love Affairs.H . 0'- L'About Virginia Walker, I had some difficulty in-locating her. She's somewhere in the East, and if you can imagine anything so horrible, she's still going to school. Betty Beebe, Betty Holland, and Donna Vickers are all secretaries for Sears and Roebuck. One is in Dallas, one's in Denver, and the other is in Los Angeles. Denny Woody's a traveling salesman for a large tobacco company. They say his commission is really startling. Elsie Gettys is in Arizona. She's manager of a large dude ranch, on which they specialize in raising coyotes. ' A, Clarence Glover now has a radio show all his own. Hefs a comedian, and his competition isn't very strong, just Bob Hope and Red Skelton. Kathryn Jones and Donna Marshall are clerks in one of Miami's most exclusive hotels. The first class air hostess of our 1951 class is none other than Dorothy Andes. Ella Brassfield has a well-established place for caring for pensioners in Philadelphia. Otis Wright is now saluted by many under-class seamen, for he is now Admiral Wright of the U.S.S. Missouri. According to Pluto, our once loved classmate Bill Tolle is following in the footsteps of the famous magician, Blackstone. Leoti Miller and Barbara Pendergraph now hold a partnership in a well-known hat shop in Detroit. The name of Bell Telephone and Company is now being changed from NBellU to NArnoldH. The main office is in Wyoming. Pluto instructed me that if I were ever in bad health to go to St. John's Hospital in K. C., where I would be treated by one of their graduates, Fern Williamson. . Carol King is private secretary to one of Oklahoma's richest oil men. They say he only has about 1,000 oil wells, though. Incidentally his name is Meredith Parrish. Richard Stebbins is quite a man-about-town. He now has two Cadillacs and three Packards. He keeps them especially for his girl friends. Lois Steward, I found, is teaching school in California and I hear that some of her brightest students are James Roe and Leroy Rector. Seems they just couldn't give up their schooling. Annabel McCullick is a mail clerk in one of Sears and Roebuck's stores. I believe he said it was in Denver. Pearl and Leona Messick are now running a high-class resort in the Ozarks. They are especially busy during the summer months as they have changed the White River into a large swimming pool. Howard McPeak builds settings now for a Shakespearian stock company. His settings are most magnificient and unusual. ' n Lacel Bland is running for governor of our dear home state in the next election, on the Democratic ticket, of course. It seems his views have changed a little since his senior days. Marilyn Sillivan and Lillian Mays now have a parternership in a ladies' ready-to-wear shop in St. Louis. Chester McDaniel and Edward Hamilton seem to have prospered in Latin America. They are now married to two senoritas.

Bonnie Rawlings and Neva Coleman seem to have combined their career wishes with their home life. They are both presidents of their social club and are both social butterflies. Having thus completed my list I thanked the good god Pluto and then as my curiosity could stand it no longer, I began to buzz questions at him. But my friend, the three-legged little creature seemed to be pulling on me to follow him again. He led me outside the small underground castle and took me back to the spot where I had found him. Then quick as a flash he ducked under some leaves and was gone. I made a mad scramble at the leaves to grab my small companion, but it was futile. Suddenly, I heard someone calling my name, nMiss Bates, Miss Bates.n The tone was demanding. Again I scattered the leaves. But this time, they fell with a loud thump. Imagine my surprise to find that I had been asleep and that papers were scattered all over the desk and floor. Just then Mr. Norman, my boss, walked in and who do you suppose was following him? It was Vincil Ellis and Charles Burns, arguing as to which one was to have W. Norman, attorney-at-law as their lawyer. Upon recognizing each other, we began to talk of old times. Wayne, I mean Mr. Norman, joined us and soon the two had forgotten their quarrel. It seemed they were partners in an Airplane manufacturing plant. Charles thought they should make planes with wings and Vincil believed in new fangled jets without wings. They were on the verge of a split but Wayne is so smart he told them to compromise as our forefathers so often did. They are now making jet planes with half wings! As we knew where everyone was and what they were doing, the four of us decided to have a reunion party. We then sent out 69 invitations. To our surprise, our party turned out with 69 guests and A hosts, all members of the class of 1951. givin! azzfzcvf Y MQ ggatedz Vera Hamiltong Earlene May, Jo Anne Tough, Secretary, Ronald Mark, President, D.1rley Pray, Treasurer, Dorothy Rountreeg ddna Fae Pickell Standing: Bobby Thompson, Leslie Kninhtg Tom Pope, Pr Arthur Parkhurst S onso . . , ' ' ' P T P' Tabby Reynolds, Vice President, uene Hoover, Howard jarrittg hr.
