As I sat in a plane on the way to New York to a convention for Teachers of Handi- capped Children, I thought I heard a familiar voice saying, Please fasten your safety belts. ” I turned around and there was my old classmate, Lola Dawson; her voice if going strong after ten years believe it or not. Lola says that the pilot for the plane is one of our classmates, Dick Grady. Seems Dick has made good. Lola told me that it was quite a coincidence that another member of our class was on the plane; it was Louise Duncan. She had been home for the first time in five years and her work was calling her back in the missionary field of Africa. There she was doing a great deal to win souls for Christ. Louise told me that without the help of JoAnn Morton, as nurse of the sick and afflicted, her work would be almost in vain. I bade my classmate goodby and took a cab to the hotel. Whom do you think screeched up to the side walk. Yes, none other than Frankie Williams. I recalled how he maneuvered his car around while in high school. I thought to myself this occupation is really for him. As I went to register at the hotel desk there stood Janice Simpson. Janice conveyed to me that her work was a joy because of the many people she meets each day. Janice told me that she saw Dan Sutton two weeks ago, and that he was doing a fine job as head coach at the North Carolina State College. I asked Janice what several of our class- mates were doing and she told me if I went down to the coffee shop I would see the former Barbara Daughtery; seems she married the manager and they are doing quite well. Janice told me Adelheid Treschan is now a secretary in the United Nations build- ing. I guess we are all proud to clain Adelheid as a member of our 1955 graduating class. I told Janice about all the members I had seen that day, and she wanted to know whatever happened to Audrey Hardison, Betsy Riggs, Charlie Slaughter, Thelma Rice, Barbara Kornegay and Marie Register. I told Janice that Audrey Hardison and Frank had finally gotten married and were thoroughly enjoying married life. Betsy Riggs is now secretary for Lawyer Grice in Chicago. I told Janice about hearing Charlie Slaugh- ter picking and singing for the Grand Ole Opera on TV. Seems his recordings are sweeping the nation. It seems Thelma Rice was contented to be a mother and telephone operator at the same time. Barbara Kornegay is now in Japan because David is stationed there. He is making the service his career, and Barbara has really gotten the oppor- tunity to see the world with him. And Marie Register is the favorite teacher for the elementary grade at Jasper School. Marie has certainly made a good teacher. At this time I realized it was time for me to be at a meeting of the council. I thought to myself how I would love to get together with all my classmates once more for they meant a great deal to me while I was at Jasper School—and to think it has been my Alma Mater for ten years.
