Hazel Hedges lives with her husband on a farm near Thompsonville. They have two lovely children. And, what is more, they have two productive oil wells on their farm! Pat Jackson is the society editor of a new magazine. I believe the name of it is Spring Breezes . The children of Mexico City are fortunate to have Jean Jones among them as a social worker. She is employed by the Mexican government. Gratton Karns, Amos Kent, and James Thompson have formed the Triple Corporation. They manufacture men's ties, using soybeans and sour milk. ' The minister in our class is Harold Kielhcrn. He has charge of a large church in Atlanta, Georgia. Logan Libby and Richard Wigart have taken up magic. Logan is president of the Magicians Union, and Richard is his secretary. I wonder how many rabbits they have found in their hats! Charlene Mitchell and Doris Talkington own and operate a bakery. Their specialty is apple pie. Soon after graduation, Eugene Mott went to Texas. He is a senator in that state and also editor of one of Houston's large newspapers. Betty Perdue certainly took advantage of her training on the Galatian staff. She is becoming a well known writer. Her latest book is Sunshine and Shadows . Mary Pingleton is employed as a dietician by the American Medical Society. She is now stationed at Costa Rica studying the rights and wrongs in the diets of the natives.

It is a favorite place for the G. C. H. S. students to spend their leisure time. I Bob and Dale Upchurch are outstanding horticulturists. By experimentation and scientific methods, the deserts will now become garden spots of the world. The new plant foods, resulting from their experimental workjwill improve the w-orld's food supply. A And who is the skiing star of Sun Valley, Idaho? None other than Phyllis Weaver. Although Phyllis entered journalism, she has time for her favorite sport. Margie Williams travels for Look Magazine. Recently she returned from South America where she had gone to get some picture material on Indian life in the Andes. But I must not make this letter too long. And anyway, I expect to see you soon. f ' ' Lovingiy, Rose-mary Triplett

After leaving high school Jane Rose Brown took up the study of medicine. She has a new medicine which is recommended for anything from an eye disease to Athlete's Foot. Ralph Brown has a Hudson garage in Galatia. You know he spent a lot of time in the Work Shop with Mr. Bond. I always thought Ralph would be a farmer. Frances Blackburn has gone to Switzerland. After making a study of the Swiss art of wood carving, she expects to return to the Ozark region of Missouri. There she and her husband will operate a Novelty Shop, specializing in novelties of hand carved wood. Viola Bryant and her husband have a karakul ranch in California.
