(While on an automobile trip to Everett in 1960, Freddie Hartsock, local farmer, saw some familiar names and faces which took him back in memory to the class of '50.) Passing Earl Imes' home I saw him industriously ditching a field. Nearing Clearville I saw several familiar names on mailboxes: Curtis Akers, Dick Bussard, Myron Morris, Bob Medlin, and Gerald Foor. (I have heard of his marriage to Margaret Thomas, also of the class of '50.) Driving on to Everett I decided to eat lunch at the Cheerio, now under the capable management of Joe Beegle and Ardene Karns. The radio was playing the latest record program by Don Smith, disk jockey. Looking out the window 1 saw the Everett Theatre, and whose names are in lights? Lucille Eshelman, Donna Garlick, and Betty Jane Snyder in a broadway play, written by Constance Avey. The play was produced and directed by Ro-maine Wallace and Ann Hershberger. Having decided to visit the old school I was greeted by Ivan Mack, the principal, the home economics teachers, Mary Fletcher and Ruth Judy, and the senior science teacher, Joan Zimmerman. They were discussing Ila Calhoun, the comedienne on Bob Hope's show. I also found out that Joyce Deike, was a reporter for Walter Winchell. Visiting school the same day was Lt. Dick Barton and Pvt. John Eller of the U. S. Army; they had hitchhiked from Fort Bragg and had got lifts from the freight trucks of Eugene Jay, on Bob Border's truck and with Jim and Eldon Smith, who were out riding in Jim's new '60 Chevrolet. I met Betty Diehl on the street. She told me she was now manager of G. C. Murphy Company, and was trying to persuade Alice Hoy, Norma Morris, Faye Weicht, all from the sewing factory, and Doris Miller, manager, to attend a concert under the direction of Shirley Swank. In the stellar roles were June Simmons and Anna Miller. But the girls wanted to see the spring showing of fashions by Mile. Jeanne Black, famous Paris designer. All her models have the latest hair styles from the beauty salon owned and operated by Joanne and Luemma Felton. I also heard that Verle Weicht was the new Artemas' school bus driver. Then, too, one of Chitwood's Hell Drivers, Bill Trail, was in town. As I was talking to Bill a '60 Plymouth dashed by with Dorald Clark at the wheel. With him was Donald Clark. They were on their way to the wedding of Joanne Beck and her millionaire fiance. By the way, her fiance's secretary is Phoebe Bowman. Alma Imes, of Alma's Beauty Salon, was a bridesmaid. The other attendants were Lillian Diehl, head nurse at Memorial Hospital, Marlene Hammond, Ruth Fletcher, and Mrs. Donnie Batzel, the former Betty L. Hixon. The ushers were Donald Miller, Eugene Ritchey, Denver Yokum, and Mason George. Some of the out-of-town guests included: Dale Layton, Notre Dame football coach, Odell Richardson, ambassador to Russia; Chet Wilt, quarterback for the Philadelphia Eagles; Evelyn Jay, hostess on American Airlines, and Donald Koontz, chemical engineer on Atomic Research Commission. Later while drinking a coke in Whetstone's Drug Store (Donna Whisel, prop.) I picked up a copy of the Everett Press and noted Bill Maust was managing editor. On the sports page Alvin Showalter had just won the Middleweight Wrestling Title and Peggy Conner had recently made her debut as a pro-basketball star. On the society page I noted the following: Doris Johnson, professional dancer, was spending the week-end in Baltimore as the guest of Arlene Lashley, head of Peabody Institute of Music. On the way home I saw Garvin Oaks fixing a flat tire on his grocery truck. Garvin was just returning from the fair and said he had seen some of his old friends, Arlin Showalter, Florence Medlin, Nanette Felton. Audrey Foor, Vernelda Northcraft, Ruth Swartzwelder, and Naomi Prieto. Naomi had come from Chambersburg on a visit. Twenty Three
