Class Prop ecy The sun shone brightly on the big silver transport, and I could clearly see the large, black words, HBARNHILL AIR- N5 LINES , on its side. Newspaper reporters were everywhere, ,. E ' I and there was the usual excitement which accompanies a plane trip. The reporters looked familiar: and upon close observation, . I recognized Jack Johnson, Raymond Askea, Cooper Beland. Charles Kelly, and Homer Belche. That pompous gentleman who - H was giving out information to them was none other than Don i y :Q g Carmichael, an airline official. Vardell Godwin, the delivery boy , for The Dew-Drop Florist Shoppe , had a box of flowers for Y' Mary Lou Stack, this seasons number one debutante. ur At last, we were ready to take off. The air hostess, Sally Addington, helped me adjust my safety belt. Sally told me that Violet Baker, Doris Barnes, and Mary Louise Greco were also hostesses for the same line. I began looking around. There was Bill Hutaff, the Coca-Cola millionaire, with his two private secretaries, Kathleen Hughes and Barbara Hochstrasser. On board the plane the government had some valuable military informa- tion: and naturally, those three famous F.B.I. men. Henry Hamilton, Brown Hubbard, and Roland Shell, were going along. I carried this year's Pulitzer Prize novel, written by Harvey Jetton, along with me, No wonder it had been such a success-it had been published by Carter S1 Chadwick, Inc. Aftei reading some of it, I put it aside, because Washington was our next stop: and I wanted to catch up on the Washington news. I bought a Washington Post, which I followed with intense interest. Rodger Derby and Thurman Williams, our ambassadors to Russia and Turkey, respec- tively, had made the front page as usual. Two of Washington's most able lawyers, Joe Chandler and Howard Criswell, were working on that lawsuit, Whiteside verus Adams. It seems that both Blount and Carroll claimed credit for the invention of a new sulphur gas. I turned the page to see what was offered in the way of society. Hannah Lyon was going abroad to give one of her lectures. Margaret deRosset and Marianne Everett were having a double wedding the next day, Their dresses had been designed by Mildred Humphrey, and their coiffures were to be perfected by .Iames Dunnagan of Paris, From the looks of the social page its editor, Dorothy Boling, was still getting around. My eyes were blinded by the names on the sport page. Fred Crumbly, Luther Dawson, Dick Maxwell, and J. C. Gardner were sharing honors in the basketball world. Blue ribbons we1'e still falling to Terry Little for her excellent horsemanship. What successes Fred Atkinson and Bruce Ratts, managers of a big professional football team, seemed to be making out of Marshall Tatum, Leslie Sessoms, and Tommy Suggs, newcomers to professional football! Tomorrow is Sunday-Come to church! the paper stated. As I read on down the page, I found that Bill McGill was preaching at the Baptist Church: while Carlton Phillips, assisted by Sol Rose, was pastor of the Presbyterian Church. Six of my classmates, George Rothermel. J. B. Bolton, Jack Britt, Ward Pendley, John Dew, and Dwight Miller, were deacons in Bill's church. Turning the page, I saw that J. L. Creed had just awakened from two years of sleeping sickness. Upon landing at Washington, I found that Earl Smith and Calvin Shaw had piloted our plane. At this point, I had the pleasure of seeing Bill Skeels and Harold Vann relieve them at the controls. Rapidly, I pushed my way through the crowd: but I caught a glimpse of .Iacquelyn Dash. Mary Yancey, and Edith Brown, who were waiting for their senator husbands to get off the plane. A big sign caught my eye- Cosmidis Restaurant -and I realized how hungry I was. ' went in but was disappointed to find that Mary and George were out: but the three very charming hostesses, Margaret Brown, Helen Burge, and Mary Jo Butler, took care of me. I ordered a new drink called Truet.t Langdons Tru Juice . suggested to me by Edwin Edgerton, the head-waiter. Once again I was on the sidewalk. One of the Hurlocker S1 Pate taxies drew up, and I asked the driver to take me to the VVest, XVest, S Walker Hotel. Jewel, Virginia, and Lillian would certainly be surprised to see me. Buildings loomed from both sides of the street, and I noticed that the Funderburg St Geddie Chewing Gum Factory and the Smith, Smith, Q Smith Cougli Drop Company had moved to new locations. Mildred Baileys Institution for Morons was in the same place and was really thriving, TwRs'i'vaSrvrs

I had time to drop in on the Senate. filibuster. Jim DeVane, Evans Crowell. Walter Reed Hospital wasn't much I arrived just in time to hear .James Elliott begin his and Robert Shropshire were serving in the Senate. out of my way: so I stopped in to visit some of my sick very well after her appendectomy. but Gladys Nunnery's friends. Juanita Livingston was doing tonsils were giving her trouble. Hilda Peoples. Jewel Byrd, Yvonne Powers and Lola Register certainly did make fine nurses. The doctors felt confident that four other Fayetteville girls, Ella Ridgen. Ruth Jackson. Emma Vann. and Irene Riddle. would do as well when they finished training. .Just as I was leaving. Dr. Vance MacBryde came in with the two famous research scientists, Bill Mc-Gugan and XValter Applewhitez and I talked with them before leaving. When I was almost to the hotel. I noticed a new building. The driver told me that the architects. L. A. Raynor and Harold Atkinson, had designed it and that it was to be the Palmer and Alexander School for Young Ladies . At eight ok-lock I was at a style show. I sat with those famous milliners, Peggy Raeford and Edna Earle Williams. Frances Hicks led the show, followed by Emily Gahr. Annie Mae Baucom. Deane Tennant. and Sarah Kelly in very heautiful creations, During the show, music was furnished by Mildred Eggen and her violin. accompanied by Evelyn Dawson at the piano. Though it was getting late, I decided to go to a. night club. 'While riding there. I heard the latest news, edited hy Buddy McMillan and sponsored by VreeIand's Toothpaste. Margery Adams. the only woman commentator. had a most interesting program. The only girls swing hand in the country. led by Norma Mitchum and featuring the Andrews Sisters' equals. Rachel Calhoun. Eleanor Smith. and Mary Ann Edmiston. was broadcasting as I left the taxi. Who would have thought. hack in 1942. that Jack Booker and N. J. Bullard would own such a palace of entertainmenti' The floor show was just beginning as I entered. and I found that Patsy Howard. Martha Blue. Ruth Boone. Janie Edge, Evelyn Page. and Dorothy Britt were among the chorus. Dorothy Eggen and Aleen Faulkner did a juggling act. The next morning I dashed into Bertram Fleishman's dress shop to buy a new dress before going to New York. Most ol' the passengers on this trip were going to Sun Valley for skiing. Margaret Dempsey, Lillian Hallock. and .Jacqueline Currow had their skis. and l discovered that they were expert instructors. A new stage show. The Land of the Brave . starring Leon Beasley, Anne Ray Faircloth, and Alida Belle Dougherty. was the hit of the season on Broadway. I heard a rumor that the pro- ducers, Elizabeth Gooden and Augusta Hamilton. had made a cool million from that one show. Although I didn't see it. the great critic. Raymond Hair. told me all about it. Stopping off at Coney Island. I saw that Charles Martin and Edwin Hutchinson were selling hot dogs and other temperatured animals . Most of the side shows were OWHQCI and OIUQYHIGG by Paul Darden and Don Clayton. Eloise Hutchinson and Ralph Lutterloh were doing a trapeze act. while Frank McMillan and Carlton Pender were taking care of the water acts. Through reliahle sources. l learned that Clarice Melton and Margaret Monsour were leading a revival in the big city. Lucille Kennedy was giving a concert in Radio City that night. I was almost to Highland Falls when I saw the wreck. The McKenzie S1 Hall Wrecker Service was already on the scene. A siren could he heard. and soon a large Owen Q McBennett ambulance pulled up. The only patrolwomen in the world. Gwen Hamrick and Margie Autry arrived and took charge. and Mafalda Milligan. was irresistable to me. I went in and hought stick from .Janet Youman. Charles Hayes. the artist. was also making Jack Terpening. the star of My Glamour Days . a current movie street with his press agent and his publicity manager. Don Bedsole and s Johnson, Lora Lloyd The Highland Falls Gift Shoppe. owned by Rohin Pickett. France some Nancy Stoner Lip- a purchase. was strolling along the Bob Benge. Finally. I arrived at XVest Point and was met. hy Isabel Rising, the wife of one of the ins structors. Izzy told me that Jimmy Dougherty, Bill Yancey, Joe Creamer, Richard Pohl. Dixon MeLeod. and Ernest McMillan had just graduated from the Academy. Janet Groseclose. assist- ed hy Katherine Scott, was the housemother of the cadets. ln the evening we went to the Army hand concert. Joe Geddie. the bandmaster. was wonderful. The majorettes. Dot Lee Cain. Elizabeth Maynor. Billie Dobson. and Mary Louise Stubbs, certainly added to the appearance of the band. In the audience I saw Betty Anderson. Pat Lanius. and Virginia Harris. who were happily married and living somewhere in New York. After bidding Izzy goodrhy. I flew to Norfolk. where I saw Elizabeth XVilton christen a ship and splatter Hilda XVethington's impeccable costume with champagne. Rhea Stevlingson WHS Hlwflkilis that night on the Problems of Norway . I went to hear her talk and was ushered in by Betty Shelton and Elizabeth Snelgrove. When I returned to my hotel. Virginia Strickland. Sybil XVilliams. Zita Stevenson. and Yvonne York. dressed in cute little outfits, were distributing Charles Smith Razor Blades . lt turned out to he a trip l'll never forget. I had seen. heard of. or read about my classmates -one and all. Some were rich. some were poor: but all were happy-that dear, old class of '42' lfrances Conway. Class Prophet, '42
