ClaM- Obay AnmueMa ia MgM May 30, 1967 This is Mel Simms, your special events correspondent for the Commencement Times. This program is coming to you from the municipal auditorium in Nicatine, Mars. The weather here is fine. The sky is blue and the sun is beating down stead ly. The auditorium is filling with familiar faces. The stage is arranged for anniversary addresses and special attractions featuring members of the H. H. S. Class of 47. Our main speaker for the day is Jesse Wilson, owner of the largest furniture corporation in the United States. Although a bachelor he still competes with Bert Rowan for the affections of Myra Simms. Our other speaker is W. C. Smith, a big business manager in Blue Ridge, N. C. The program is to be concluded by Ann Holloway and David Annerton. Ann will sing her favorite song, A Good Man Is Hard to Find and David will unveil his new portrait of Ann Hines intitled No Look, No See. The crowd is very noisy. Everyone seems to be enjoying the latest gossip. From a distance I see Leonard Bragg, Vernon Cramer, Wayne Nichols, Zelma Wilson, Carl Cramer, and Charles Snyder comparing their business advancements in the use of atomic energy as a source of power for their manufacturing concerns. My attention has just been called to the main entrance where Bobby Wilkinson, a test pilot for tthe Donald Hughes Aircraft Co. of Decatur, and his wife the former Helen Schrimsher, have just arrived in their rocket especially built for honeymooners. In looking over the program, I see listed among the entertainers Anne Baxter, Josephine Sansone, and Betty Anderson, all prominent musicians in the New York Symphony Orchestra, who are going to play their Symphonic arrangement of Open the Door Richard. Also on the program I see that Jo Holcomb and Mary Frances McGaha are featured in their version of The Dance of the Sticks. I wish to take this time to thank Harrison Gill and Ray Luttrell for their fine work in making this broadcast possible by television throughout the world. My attention has been called to a group of beautiful ladies sitting in the corner. Let's see if my mike can reach them. Yes, here are Helen Brock, Betty Hensley, June Pitts Johnson, Euel Smith, and Clara Walker. These housewives tell me that they are enjoying their work since many atomic devices have been invented. Standing close by I see Agnes Tolbert and Juanita Roden, talking about enlarging the second floor of Dunnavant's. The crowd is getting larger and noiser. Flash! Mr. and Mrs. Gordon Warden have just arrived in their special atomic rocket built in the shape of a football. P. S. Gossipers, Gordon has just succeeded Charles Hooper and Doug Lynch in the coaching at Huntsville High. Everybody near the rear of the auditorium seems to be excited about having their pictures taken by John Hall and Buddy Cox. Trying to be first are Betty Caneer, who lives at Riverton, and Sue Ray, who is co-owner of the Five Points Service Station. Waiting to be snapped are Jeanette Smith, Margaret Smith, and Jean Smith, who teach in business college in the Smith Building in Philadelphia. With them are their assistants, Eugenia Baker, Mary Eula Bell, and Evelyn Hipps. All by herself in the corner is Mary Towry still waiting for Corky to get out of the Marines. Speaking of the Marines, Creston Porter seems to be taking the show. He is still running around the auditorium saying hello in a style originated in 1947— hew-wo-wo-wo. With him are Clint Anderson and Joe Monroe now engineering professors at the University of Georgia. The last time I passed the entrance, I noticed Chester Pearsall handing out miniature orchids. Talking nearby I saw Henry Sudduth, Vice-President of Woolsworths, and Claude Walker, new owner of J. C. Penny's. To my left is a large window which allows a beautiful view of the airport. On the runway, I see Erskine Cantrell, an expert mechanic, repairing his rocket ship which crash landed. Waiting patiently Page 23
