CALAIS SS) PURMOUP set yf One day in the year 1959 four members of the class of ’49 of Landis High School met on the Square in Landis. Recalling old memories and wondering about our beloved classmates, we decided to make a tour of the world and find out what they were doing. As we were leaving Landis we decided to stop in at the Landis Bank to say good-by to Margie Allman, where she is a typist. Starting on our tour we headed for China Grove, where we found Iona Potts teaching at the China Grove University and going through the College we also found Hilda Edwards teaching Health and Physical Ed. After talking with the two for a while we decided to start our journey again and headed for Durham, INE G: As we came through, sweet organ music drew us to the Duke University Chapel where we found none other than our Class Musician, Monica Brown. We decided to visit the Duke University Hospital where Betty Freeze is head nurse with Nancy Sullivan as her assist- ant. Our next city was Raleigh, where we visited State College, and as we walked over the campus we found Tommy Tay- lor. Talking to him we learned that he was a Professor of Agriculture, still shooting the breeze. We learned that their famous Football Coach was our one and only Billy Reid Overcash. The next stop on our tour was Rich- mond, Virginia, and as we were tired from traveling, we decided to go window shopping. Walking down the street we saw an attractive sign saying, “SCRUB YOUR GOURD BEAUTY SALOON”, owned and operated by Betty Jo Sheeks, who is specializing in the new hair style SNe EU ESBE BORE ALLS”: Walking farther down the street we passed Beaver’s Grocery. Thinking that the name seemed familiar we entered and learned that its owner was Rachel Beaver, with her slogan being “EVERY- THING YOU LIKE AND NOTHING YOU WANT”. As we were talking, who did we see walk in the store but Betty Jean Overcash, and as she entered our little group we learned that she was keeping books for Rachel. After arriving in Washington, we de- cided to visit the Art Gallery where we were not so surprised to find the famous painting “THE MONEY ROLLS” by Oscar Beaver. Leaving the Art Gallery we visited the office of Mary Helen Yost who is now National President of “THE FUTURE HOMEMAKERS of AMERICA”. Visit- ing another we found Clyde Patterson who is President of the “NO BREAK GLASS COMPANY.” Now that we had reached New York, Joe Allman decided to stop in and look over his business. He is owner of “THE LOOK AT THEM AND LIKE THEM MODELING AGENCY”. His star models being Irene McCool, Doris Swink, Hazel Wilhelm and Wilma Upright. As we were waiting to board our ship we picked up the newspaper, “THE NEW YORK STAB?” edited by Bill Bur- gess. Reading it we found a poem en- titled “THE REDHEAD” written by our class poet, Carolyn Moretz. Reading still further we find written in large letters “MALVENIA FOUTZ FIRST PLACE WINNER. IN THE

CASS PMO Mal eC yy WORLD’S GREATEST DEBATING CONTEST”, subject, “IT AIN’T FAIR”. Glancing at the right hand corner of the front page again we see in big let- ters, “REECE PAGE HAS JUST BEEN VOTED BY, ALE GOOD LOOKING WOMEN”, -as 1959s GREATEST LOVER OF ALL TIMES”. After leaving New York we visited Paris, France, where we found Curtis Helms leading his famous dance band, “THE SWING AND SWAY”, with Ruth Abernathy and Hoyt Rutledge as guest soloist. They were starring at the “PROP UP THEATRE”. Having three girls on this tour who liked perfume, especially from Paris, we visited the nearby Perfume Factory which was owned and operated by Le- vonda Jordon and Barbara McDaniels. As we talked, we learned their favorite “DRAG THEM BACK ALIVE” which we decided to buy. was During our tour of Switzerland we at- tended an ice festival where we found our old roller skating friends Helen Stewart, Lucretia Corriher, and Betty Jo Hill who have become famous ice skaters. Now as we headed for Germany where we visited the Army base at Nurenburg, we find Peggy Eller who is now an army stationed with her husband General Bill Goodnight. Now that it was time to leave we debated on how to travel. It was finally decided to travel by plane. nurse After we were on the plane and we thought we were comfortable, we were suddenly stunned to find ourselves rid- ing upside down and as we got to normal hostess Doris we learned from our 20 Wilkinson that our daring young pilot was Hugh Parks. We were finally back in the good old U.S. but not through with our journey and with our visit to all our classmates, so our next stop was to visit Martha Kimball’s “INTERIOR DECORATING SCHOOL” here in San Francisco. From San Francisco we headed for Hollywood where we find at the M. G. M. Studio, Hilda Huffman and Ray Von Yow taking the place of Betty Hutton and “Red” Skelton. On with our journey to Seattle, Wash- ington where we noticed a huge theatre called “MAD AND GLAD HOUSE” as we entered to look it over we saw none other than Kenneth Sloop who is the owner and operator. Another discussion on how to travel came up and we decided to go by bus and we got aboard to find as our driver, Vivian Sechler and after talking to her for awhile we learned that the owner of the “ONE ACCIDENT BUS COM- PANY” was the one and only Homer Brown who had for his motto “BOARD AT YOUR OWN RISK”. As we arrived in Salt Lake City, Murphy decided to stop in and see that her “ALL STAR BASKETBALL TEAM” was sticking to their motto: “PLAY FOR US TO WIN AND THEM TO LOSE”. After it was decided that the team was o. k. we headed for Denver, Colorado to stop in and see how Faynell Frieze was doing with her “LONELY HEARTS CLUBS As we left Denver we boarded the “ROBERT’S ROCKET TRAIN”, owned and operated by Jerry Roberts we head-
