I, Georgene Upham, hereby solemnly will my everlasting grin to Hazel ollam, hoping that she will not try to stretch it any more than I have. My fast gait I will to Geraldine Deeney, so that she may someday beat Miss Anderson ' s speed. I, Mary Watt, will to Lucille Trerabley, ray ability to whistle and chirp through disaster. I also will to Grace Lewis my sense of humor and hope that she v ill cultivate the habit of choking giggles. Sealed, signed and delivered this first day of June, nine- teen hundred tv enty-eight . In witness whereof we, the Class of »28, hereby set our seal. June 8, 1952 Dear Jean: Gee I It ' s surely been a long time since I ' ve written to you. It seems as far back as when we were lil ' ole ?rosh, Sayl Then v ere the days. ' ' ' Member the time the ' - took us down Main Street (?) of Brentwood in old clothes? I surely get a kick out of it whenever I think of it, Eleanor Townsley was president then, v asn ' t she? Ohi Yes, and Eleanor Viera was vice president, and she was, also, the same for our Sophomore Class, too. T e used to have a lot of fun in the meetings v e had. IThy, isn ' t that odd? I was just looking at the heading and — and, jurt think — it is just five years ago today that we graduated. Boy, v eren ' t we thrilled that night. I never have gone through a more thrilling experience. I was shaking from the time the curtain opened until it closed. riiat have you been doing wi1 h yourself lately, any -ay? Been to any dances? Have you • lear -icl any n?- .ite- s? Remember when we tried to do tiio CL .rlesto:..? Y ' D.en ' .. ' p.g it anyway? • asn ' t it at our v Juji-ior -- no, I ■jjItv.-— y s that ' s it. It was at our ■■ ' ' ' ' ' Soph Hop, Gooh. ' Those were the good old times. ' , ' j Remember our Junior Prom and Senior Ball? . Didhlt W I wo have a lot of f m urn ' -A ■ '

though? Gee, it was eit the Prom that you and I ditched oir? hoy friends, wasn t it? -.. ' e had a lot of fun anyv ay. V. ' e had some fun at the Ball, too. Some dance, and the Varsity Drag — I -11 never get over that. Have you heard anything about Mr. Callaghan lately? I wonder if he is still at Liberty. I suppose he has another class hy nov . If he has, I ho-oe he still reijemoers us. I went to the city the other day; invested in some nev clothes, as usual, and treated myself to a show, and do you know what the nam.e of that shov; was? Of course not, but, anyiTay, it vjas Fixing it for Father . ' Does that stir your memory any? The name sounded rather familiar to me v hen I first went into the theater, but then, so do a lot of ether things. I thought that I had -orobably heard it at one of those Good Books meet- ings v hich I ' m attending. I never ¥ as so suri rised in all my life when I did realize what it was. Gee J I laughed and laughed. It surely j s different than -nutting the thing on your- self. I don ' t-care vrhat anybody else says, but I think we v ere wise in picking that one for our Senior Play, don ' t you? Talk- ing about plays, do you remember the one we -nut on in our Sophomore year? It Y asn ' t a play, exactly, but a pantomime. I think the name of it was And the Lamp v ' ent Out. That was kinda ' cute. Margaret Kevey was our resident then, wasn ' t she? My little brother just got back from their big track meet of the year. He goes to High School, now, you know. He ' s the only one in the family that ever turned out to be good in sports. He said that he took first place in the pole vault. You ' d never believe it though, v ould you? Talking about pole vaulting, remember Freddie Eeidorn and that 4- point he got for us? That was what made us win the track meet that year, wasn ' t it? I wonder if they have ever won it again. I often wonder hov Kendall Burroughs is. He went out for track quite a bit. He was our class president for our Junior year. Boys make kinda ' hard presidents, because, don ' t you rem.ember hov: he used to bang away at the old desk in our meet- ings? Still, Georgene Upham surely didn ' t have very much symrtathy for the inkwells v.lien she was Senior President. Do you remember the party the Juniors gave us our last year? V e had a lot of fun, didn ' t we? I went to one the other day but it wasn ' t half so good, ' .liy, our Junior-Senior Break- fast, that we gave, beat it a mile, and it ' .7as only a breakfast. Oh, v ell, they v ere good anyho 7--the eats, I mean. Gosh. ' It seems as if I ' m v riting a book. Maybe I had better stop before I really do wr ite one. Your loving friend, Pattie Georgene UDham ' 28 -V ' 0
