CLASS IPIROIPIIHIIECY LAURA JOBE - JOYCE ETHERIDGE - BETTY TAYLOR Betty: Thank goodness! Another broadcast over! Joyce: Who would have ever thought that we would be great singing stars! Laura: I'll bet our classmates are surprised that we turned out so well. Betty: Well, they didn't do so badly themselves. Do you remember The John L. Bond ? Well, he is now on the beautiful island of Alcatraz receiving a sentence for cold-blooded murder, and you know all of the victims have been killed as a result of broken hearts. Joyce: And just the other day I saw that Jeannette Shirley McDonald has been singing at the Metropolitan again. You remember Shirley Bridges? Well, Shirley Mc- Donald is just her stage name. She's really a great star now. Laura: Did you know that Mary Gene Coleraine is now Mrs. Joe Wallace and has a football team of her own? Betty: Well, Maxine Lawrence has finally settled down to washing dishes with a smile, darning socks and even watering the flower boxes. I wonder who the lucky man really is? Joyce: Just the other day I was reading about a Navy captain who had rescued some people and was quite a hero now, and when I read the name, guess who it was? None other than Bill Brown! Laura: Have you ever eaten a Murphy Candy Bar? Well, the Murphy Candy Co. is owned by none other than our own Peggy Murphy. Just think, we knew her when she was selling candy at the J. H. S. candy stand! Betty: Did you read in the paper the other day the astonishing news about Reggie Smith? He has gone from the Thin Man of the air to the Fat Man in the circus. Joyce: Have you noticed all these new machines in which you drop a penny and one hundred vitamin pills come rolling out? Well, if you will read closely right under the directions about how to use the machine, you'll see these words, Jimmy Howell- Owner, Manager, and President. Laura: You remember Billy Clemmons, don't you? Well, he's now operating a real Chinese Laundry in Chunking, China. Betty: I was in Marshall Field's the other day and of all the people for me to run into was Morris Crocker, who is head salesman in the glove department. I guess he has gotten his fill holding girls' hands by now! Joyce: Do you remember a real cute blonde in our class of '48 named Nancy Rob- erts? She used to take D. E. and work up town. Well, she has taken Mr. Bird's place in good old Jackson High. Laura: Did you know that Jill Wilson is now Mrs. Ed Coyne and they are raising a bunch of musical athletes?

Sara Ann Woody, that studious gal, Has personality plus and many a pal. Thomas Kemp, really a Tarzan is he, Besides being an Einstein in chemistry. Eldon Dukes, who secretly is a Romeo, Took many a point from Caesar and Cicero, Norma Allen's chief characteristic we haven't found out, But that she's really a swell girl we have no doubt. Got the blues? Want to send 'em away? Then go to Joyce Etheridge-she laughs all day. In our class there is quite a deb Of course you know her, Pauline Webb. Bob Hearn many a night was up late Studying for his next day's Spanish date. Ollie Benton knows you can't go wrong As long as you sing a hill billy song.
