Aura iTHECRYSTAL'- -1'9'3'7l ZAR Twenty Years After T IS the year 1957 and the class of ,37 is just gathering for its first reunion inside the now ivy-covered walls of L. H. S. We are immediately attracted across the halls by that Hollywood box-office attraction, Bev Read, as ever surrounded by a mob of admiring fems. Quietly watching him is one with a modest but very busy jaw, Hubert Beatty, president of a chewing-gum factory doing a booming business. There is one individual who is quite at home, Jimmy Cook, now a rising prof in his dear old high school. He seems to be busily discussing the latest fads in education with Carl Varner, president of Bridgewater College, and with Bobby Latture, head of an educational institution for Women, the physical ed. director of which is Elenora Faison, who excels in teaching people how to keep from catching cold. Various and sundry unions are well represented. T he happiest seems to be smiling Ben Young lVIorris, head of the Soda Jerkers' Association. Syd Smith is in charge of the A-B-C Union. Ahal In addition, Masoii Deaver is a huge success as president of a national radio concern. One of his announcers is Henry Kirkpatrick, who supplies, in addition to static, the latest reports on that powerful Central American dictator, Howard Brooke. To lessen the tension, we remember that Ned Burks has superseded Jack Benny, and Dick Smith is a second Ted Husing. ' Fred Berry is busily explaining about his latest crop of alfalfa to John Swink, who is an old married man now, taking his milk, by the way, from N uckols and lVIurray Dairy. Sue Dunlap is also married and has a cheery home with singing birds as a result of the persuasive sales talk of Charlie-boy Olsen, successful agent for the Contented Canary Cage Company. Nettie Agnor has got herself hitched, too, and Mfargaret Mt1r1'ay seems happy with her professichial football player. A tinkling piano in the next apartment -Cyes, the same old piano but the cover is raggedj attracts our attention and we find Lucy Lee lVIorrison, accompanist for Majoi' Bowes, playing hilary Virginia lVIcCoy's latest composition for GOLD DLGGERS OF ' 57. lVIyra lVIcCormick, eHicient head librarian at the public library in Kalamazoo, is carrying on a literary conversation with Sabie Couper, whose cartoons in Esquire are a veritable -if 21 Bc.
