Along with flashes of lightening and clashes of thunder, there came a steady downpour, somewhat dampening . everyone's spirits. But all hope was not lost! No, indeed! For a forboding beginning often makes ' a successful ending. On this day some of Hominy's most outstanding children, later to become the SENIORS OF 'b5, started their school careers. The ones who began their years of toil and worry that day were: EVELYN ANDERSON, HAZEL DORNAN, ANITA JONES, DORIS LYTLE, JACQUELINE LAZELLE, LAUNIS , PASSMORE, VIRGINIA SMITH, REBECCA STANLEY, DOROTHY THROOP, EMMA LOUISE UPCHUHCH, JACK CORE, REUBEN DEROIN, FLOYD GASS, GARLAND HOM TON, BOB HOPSON, ROSS KONGABLE, LEROY SANDERS, LARRY WALSH, - ' LAWRENCE WILSON, JR., and ALICE JEAN MULLINS. Marion Brandon was among this group, too, but she was a little late in getting to school. When she finally arrived at school about 10:30 that morning all wet and muddy, we asked her what happened, and she said, H0n my way to school I fell V into a great big puddle of water, and couldn't get out until the mailman came and pulled me out.N ,After the class became accustomed to the idea of going to school, all was quiet and peaceful for a little while. However, at the end of the first semester came a great disappointment, for , Doris HMglgegtYggagPa3S?:iht well, and there was no change in the class. In the third grade the class increased in number-and intellect when REBA GOODMAN came bouncing down from Ochelata, and DOEDTH SISSON came to join us from Paxton. Everyone was glad. also. that DORIS LYTLE came back from the nLone'Star State.N lcontinued on next page! is S .

A ' H t PLACE - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania y A - N One dark, dreary day in January, when the snow was rapidly drifting on the sidewalks, I with the feeling of a free woman, walked out of the Goodman Journalistic School for Women, managed by that handy helper of hindering problems, REBA GOODMAN. . I had just finished my course in journalism, and I now had an opportunity to puts my knowledge to practical use. My first job was to cover an assignment for one of the leading newspapers, so I was now hastening to the office of the Hampton and Jones's Democratic Reviewz' ' Upon my arrival at the office, GARLAND told me that my assignment would take me to China, and I was to leave immediately. I rushed out to the roof where I had parked my heliccopter and took' off. ' ' After about an hour's travel, I reached my destination and proceeded to the Abbott-Costello Hotel. Later I learned that the hotel was owned by BUD DORNAN and LOU STANLEY, two of my fomer classmates. Meeting these old friends, I stopped to chat a moment and to learn the latest gossip, which was all about the robbipof MAHTINA FOSTER BRECKINRIDGE, the famous mevle star. Through inquigy Idaleo learned that her husband, ALVIE, was managing her Hollywood plantation while she was a rea . The next morning I set out for the American Embassy to get aid from the new ambassador in securing a pass to the Imperial Palace. Imagine my surprise to find the new ambassador was REUBEN DEROIN, and even more surprised was I to find that his secretary was BETSY ROSS WALKER. Reuben told me that he had visited my old home town a short while before .coming abroad. His mentioning the word Hominy brought many pleasant memories to my mind. . A During the course of our conversation, Reuben told me about many of our former classmates. The big three'--HOPSON, LONG, and GASS were football coaches at West Point. These three and their little pigeons--Cara Lee, DOT, and roos ng house apartmentsin New York. 'I secured my pass and set out e Imperial Palace, As this interv the Generalissimo completed my assignment, I urned to my hotel and made preparations to leave erica the next day. ,Early the nextxm ing, I reluctantly bade good-bye 'to Bud and Lou and started for rica. I reached Philadelph a out 10 A. M. and went :Immediately to ,check in at the office. ANITA old me that as soon as ad t ed my story, I might take a few days' vacation, so I decided to spe these days in H . Upon my ar val there, I went to the school house to see if any of my former teachers were till around. Imag e my surpris to find that LARRY WALSH was still trying to,fi.nish English Lite:-at re. I talked wit him a moment d took the elevator to the eighth floor where I found the Home Economics tea her to be CHERR LEE KINCHELOE. I stopped in to visit her, and she told me all the latest news. e said that sh had seen PATRICIA PIERCE TINSLEY, who was here on a visit, and alsp that EVELYN and Wayne were liv about five miles north of town on a farm. E While I was talking to Cher Lee, Evelyn brought in her daily quota of eggs with which she Q supplied the Home Ee Department. Since she invited me to have lunch with her. we set out 'for the 2 farm. After a very delightful l ch, prepared by the Ingersoll's maid, VIRGINIA SMITH, Evelyn . and I returned to town to do some shopping. I found that the town had ch aa immensely sinch I had been gone. On the corner of Fifth Avenue and Hain, we were stopped y-a policeman. Much to my surprise I found the handsome man in uniform to be DICK POPE. Since e was busy directing traffic, we just exchanged hello's and drove on. After our shopping expedit n, 'Evelyn and I parted and I wentback to the hotel to rest. Later that afternoon I attended a lee ure on The Rights of Women, delivered by that distlnqui hed lecturer of the day, FRANCES BLACK. At the lecture I ran into ROTHY THROOP and,EMMA LOUISE UPCHURCH, those lnseparables from their high school days. They had g ne to California after graduation, married twins, and were now back in Hominy living in a duplex We made plans to attend the opera that evening at the Passmore ' Theater, owned by IIADAMOSE J' LAUNIS PASSMORE. ' The singing star of the' evening was ALICIA JEANNE MULLINS, accompanied by one of the season's outstanding maestro's, CASANOVA ITURBI KONGABLE. After a most enjoyable evening, we decided to call it 8 we A QV' , While strolling along Osage Avenue on our .way to the McGillicuddys, which by the way was the surname of Emma Louise and Dorothy since their marriage, we came face to face with IMOGENE FROST and DOROTHY SISSON. The girls were worn and frazzled from a hard day of hat checking at the Brown Derby. The Brown Derby, which specialized in corn beef and cabbage, was owned and operated by MARY ESTHER WILSON. It was suggested that all of us go there for a midnight snack. Feeling faint from hunger. I hurriedly agreed. o At the door we were met by the head waiter, BOB LACRONE, who escorted us to our table. While we were waiting for our orders, the curtain rose for the floor show. I was never so surprised in 'all -mv life when WAYNE GARRETT ducked out from the behind the curtain to announce. the first number. We' were delighted to hear the strains of that immortal song, 'Turkey in the -Straw, play by that ' forever famous waltz king, LAWRENCE WILSON. The feature attraction of the evening was a song by the Kings' Women, WANDA DAVIS and BETTY LOU WILLOOX. Seeing these classmates :Ln their various occupations gave me great pleasure. - G ' - l Ulontlnued on the page with the Junior High Basketb ,'Peam.J . ,inf ,. . mx ,. , ,,1,' , ,- - s ' 3, , , , , Nm ' -4 . x i elsif :S ,-.. .
