pwp f fCoiifi11uecl1 pened . it was written by Vivian Carter. played by W'alter Applewhite's Swing Band. and sung by Mafalda Milligan. She has a marvelous voice and especially since she has had several years with Betty Culbreth as a teacher. My current favorite is Gene Tomlinson with vocalist Virginia Mc-Daniel. This swing seemed to be annoying the lady in front of us so l pushed the button again and got Harold Godwin's program sponsored by The Ernest McMillan Service Stations. inc. He had as his guest star Rachel Pinkston of the Metropolitan Oigera and H. T. McGill. the world famous archeoligist, We only got to listen to part of this program because May Bob came back with some books and magazines. One of the magazines was Esquire. you know Arthur Nettles writes their fashion section now, Some of the books were: The laleauty of a Redhead by Sarah Kelly and Mary Ann Johnson. What the Well Dressed Mem ls Wearing by J. B. Bolton. Modern Ma- danie Grundy by Annie Mae llauconi. a comedy novel. ttFor 'Whom the Horn Honks by eonie- dian James ilradshaw. and two best sellers by Doris Vinson and Dean Webb. VVe only had a minute for these because our skillful pilots brought us down very safely at the Washington airport. As we stepped out. Frances Johnson, Secretary to Chief Justice of the Supreme Court. came running toward us. She told me that Peggy Nimocks was in the hospital. We went right over to see her. after stopping at Kathleen Iflrantleys Florist Shop where Beulah Beard fixed us a lovely plant, While we were there Ella Ridgen took an order for orchids to go to the favored actress, Wilhelmenia Hosenfeid. Shes on a personal appearance with her publicity agency. Joe Pittman and secretary Lillian Davis. But we must rush up to see Peggy. As we were going into the hospital. l ran right into Carolyn Hutaff and Frances l-Iensdale, They are both in Washington buying for their stores. Frances for Belk- Yeago tliilly. that isl and Carolyn for her own Dress Shoppe. She told me that the Soda Shop was the bright spot of Fayetteville. lt's owned by Jimmy Vinson and Marcus Mc- Gugan. She also said that the City News was the newsiest place in town with Wilton Bandy as its owner. Frances could do nothing but rave about the way interior decorator Mildred Hailey had remade Helks, She also says that Edward llainer is by far the best bookkeeper she's ever heard of. Well. here we are. outside of l eggy's door. at last. While were waiting for her nurse. Inez Gunby. to announce us. we'll just look around. Will you look who's here? There is none other than Anne Kyle coming to see Peggy. Anne's laboratory technician here. She says that Flossie Mae Kennedy is dietitian lt's rumored that all the nurses are wild about the chief doctor. Dr. Hobby Teabeaut. Hy the way. some of the nurses here are Doris Smith. Mary Dotson. Ruby Maness and Eloise Edge. One of the famous research doctors here who developed a cure for T. lfl. is lflill Smith. Finally we did get into the room. if you could call it getting in. Jane Council was there. She is the leading model for Edward Walters Photography House. Shire ley Dockler. sports clothes model at Eloise Harmons dress shop. Sarah Frances Smith. who was up north at the fashion shows for Virginia Harris' millinery shop. and of course Mary Burns were there. lsn't it funny that news spreads so fast? She only had a slight cold. They told me that Julia Campbell. the famous cosinetician and Evelyn Dawson. the owner of a small. very exclusive jewelry store. had just left. W'e only stayed a few minutes, As we were leaving. Marguerite Rodgers camein andtold us that Dr. Hobby ilenge said that she could leave in two days, Peggy was certainly glad because she said that she had no notion of visiting Edward l:Senfield's funeral home yet. That afternoon we couldn't decide whether to go to a football game and see Dixon McLeod. l-'red t'ruinbly. and Luther Pearsall play or go shopping. No one of us especially like profes- sional football. so wc went shopping. W'hile waiting for Mary's car. we went into the John Martin Office Building. i'm told that it was one of about ten that he owns, This was a lovely building and as l glanced at the directory a very familiar name met my eye. l could hardly believe it but there it was. Hulnick-Sessoms Accountants. l wondered if it could be Judy and gc Tirwiiiif-1Cigfl1l

Glafu Jfbiiafuf Hey. Mary. since school begins tomorrow Grandmother is going to teil us about her high school days. Dont you want to listen? These words were cried by Hob Crane to his twin sister Mary. Mary. conrirrg from the next room replied. Why: yes. liob, l want to hear. Since we are starting to high school I can hardly wait for the grand times that we shall have. Mary and lflob walked out to the porch where their grandmother was sitting. Well. Grandmother. here we are. We're just bursting to hear you tell us about your high school days. said Hob. The Grandmother smiled and began her tale. 'tYes. l remember my first day at school. The school was so large and there were so nrany students that l did not know anyone. It was all a jurnbled time but as l recall we all enjoyed it thoroughly. We became so busy making new friends and studying that we forgot to envy those seniors who set-med so high above us freshmen. During this freshman year we elected VVeldon Jordan as our president. and a good leader he was too. as we proved by electing him the next two years also. Elected to help Weldon were Peggy Ninrocks as Vice-President and lletty McKay as Secretary-Treasurer. 'tThe days were passing very swiftly and soon we were sophonrores. XX'ith XVeldon as Presi- dent. .loe Geddie as Vice-President. and .lane Council as Secretary and Treasurer. we were soon running smoothly in the second year of our high school career. At the close of the year we were so proud to learn that Ruth Gilmore. a member of our class. was awarded the scholarship cup for having the highest scholastic average of anyone in high school. At the beginning of the next year. we felt. oh. so important. My. we were upper classrnen now! We were slowly but surely climbing up the ladder and on the way to become seniors. There was so much to be done aird as the days passed it seemed but such a short time in which to do it. For the third consecutive year Weldon Jordan was elected President of our class. This year his co-workers were Vice-President. Hen Huskei Secretary, Ruth Gilmore: and Treasurer. Vivian llurnette. At la.t the big day arriyed, Classes had been in a turmoil for weeks. ln fact. they had practically been dismissed. lt was the night of Junior-Senior. In a setting of Gone With The ll'i1uI we entertained our upper classmen with scenes from this great novel. with lletty Mcliay, Hen Huske. and Frank McMillan taking the leading roles. The rnarshalls chosen from the Junior Class were Ben Huske. Chief. .lane Council. Betty Mc-Kay. Peggy Nimocks. Marry Burns, Harold Godwin. XYeldon Jordan, Hrundy Melvin and Herbert Blaha. At the Close of the year. Mary Huff was presented the .lunior Stedman Essay prize. Our Junior year was over: it had been a very active one and we were looking forward to coming back the next year as seniors, Our senior year finally arrived. Not only yy ere we seniors brit we were seniors in the beau- tiful new high school of which we were so proud. Hill Yancey was elected President to lead the class through its final year. The other officers were 'Vivian Burnette. Vice President: Raynrorrd Crowson. Secretary, and Weldon Jordan. Treasurer. NVeldon was also elected Presi- dent oi' the Student Councilg thereby becoming President of the student body. Elected to take charge of our annual were Ruth Gilmore as editor-in-chief and Hrundy Melvin as business manager. Ruth was also chosen to represent our school in the D.A.R. Good Citizenship Pil- grimage, Ruth Price represented our class as President of our Beta Club. With graduation to look forward to there was but one cloud on our bright horizon and that was that for some of us it was our last year at dear old F. H. The grandmother with soft. reminiscing eyes did not seem to see the children. and they quiet- ly slipped away and left her dreaming of the four happiest years of her life. Frances Joirrrsoii.
