CASS) PROIMAIEC Yf Dr. and Mrs. Charles Meadows Request the Honor of Your Presence At the 10th Reunion of the Class of 1952 of Kernersville High School June 10, 1952 I arrived at the Meadow’s estate and finally found a place to park the old blue Dodge between a Cadillac and a Lincoln. My classmates must have done well for themselves! I was anxious to see all the old class—some of them I hadn’t seen or heard from in years. Doris Smith met me at the door. She’s Charles’s able assistant. First in the receiving line were Charles and his wife. She’s from South America, you know, and I’ve heard she has a red hot disposition as well as plenty of money. Charles met her while SALLIE GREENFIELD, Prophet he was studying tropical diseases in i Brazil. There was something strangely famil- iar about the couple standing next to Dr. and Mrs. Meadows in the receiving line. The gray-haired gentleman of distinction and his lovely wife were none other than Dr. and Mrs. C. V. Sigmon of Raleigh, North Carolina. Dr. Sigmon is now State Superintendent of Public Instruction. Next in line were M. F. Motsinger, our Senior Class President, and his wife, Betty Lou. Besides his successful television company, M. F. is still winning elections—he’s the youngest mayor Kernersville has ever had! Mary Ann Flynt, who is the reporter for the “Who’s Who” column of the Kernersville Daily News was running all over the place interviewing the celebrities. The first on her list, of course, was Mrs. Grogan, our Senior Sponsor. Mrs. Grogan seemed prouder of the fact that she had recently been chosen “prettiest grandmother of the year” than that she was serving as Kernersville High School’s first Lady Principal. Next, Mary Ann interviewed Buddy Phillips with his ten-gallon hat and all. He came all the way from his 10,000 acre ranch in Arizona just for the reunion. Then Mary Ann went on to interview the literary member of the class. It is nobody else but our Jan who is down to 108 pounds now. She’s the author of a best seller—“How To Reduce in 5,000 Easy Lessons.” Elizabeth Spainhour came in wearing her good-looking Wac’s uniform. She joined soon after graduation and after serving in interesting places like Hawaii and Japan, she married a soldier and is now a recruiting officer. Out on the terrace, I could see Jerry Royals and Elwood Sears and their wives dancing to the soft music. Jerry played three years of fine college football for Carolina (Choo-Choo Royals they called him). Elwood became star of the basketball team there. They both came bac k to Kernersville to marry their high school sweethearts though! I joined a group of the girls at one end of the ballroom. They were talking, naturally about their clothes, husbands, and children. Shirley Whitaker said that Roy was keeping their three children—two boys and a girl—because they couldn’t get a baby sitter. We started talking about the race Evon and Alyce Jean had to see who would get married first after graduation. We'll never forget who won that race! Doris Dull worked for awhile as Secretary of the Kernersville Chamber of Commerce, you know. She resigned when she married and moved to Denver, Colorado. They say Catherine Martin made a lot of money for the Church Realty and Insurance Company selling lots in Kernersville’s exclusive Country Club Development. . Suddenly we heard what sounded like a police siren. Surely the police weren’t going to raid the party. No, it was only Elaine and her Tom driving up in the state patrol car. Marie Pender presided at the punch bowl. The stunning dress she was wearing came from her own exclusive dress shop in Winston-Salem. Hovering near the punch bowl, as usual, was David. He used his Senior superlative of “friendliest” to help him become one of the biggest politicians in the country. He’s goi i me : ’ oing to run for president on the Prohibition Party ticket next.
