20 THE LAUREL CLASS REUNION IN 1940 GOT a letter the other day Asking me to come and stay In Farmington, a little while, When I read it I had to smile, For what could be better than to see My classmates, as they used to be. I was happy all that day And very soon I was on my way To Farmington, that little station Where I received my education. That evening we met in Music Hall And there we held a Reunion Ball. There were my classmates-each and all, All back home for that lovely ball. To me they all seemed just the same Although some had changed their names. When we told of the last ten years There were many laughs, and very few tears. Peter, our president, now had charge Of a business firm, and a family large. Stevens and Stevens, Merry and Hobbs VVere all very busy on very hard jobs, Russell and Meisner were nursing back health, Gagne and Hamlin were piling up wealth. Neal was now an Air Mail Flyer, Voter 'd become Arbo's chief buyer. Sturtevant furnished the town with lights, Hamlin's movies kept people up nights. The town's new baker was Lewis Webber, Sylvia was known as Mrs. Webber. I was surprised to see 'A Clark's Beauty Shoppe, Come right in, donlt stop to knock. Beedy the artist, attended our functiong lVilliams was teaching down at Leeds Junction. Richards and Russell, McCully and Lane, Each of these girls had a new name. Annette and Mae had homes of their own. Buker and Weeks were living alone, Mannock and Durrell, Russell and Huff, NVere teaching school and had money enough. Olive was busy delivering orations, Francis announced for a broadcasting station. VVhat do you think had become of Miss Hogan? She made money thinking up slogans. Kathryn Spinney, the girl called K Was writing books. They're good, they say. This concludes this little rhyme About the Class of 229. Marjorie Spinuey, 129, 15 ,4: X- sage or e xyf x, , ' 11' f ,-' XY!
