A picture of a large building forms, which I recognize immediately as the Univer¬ sity of Virginia Hospital. In it I see Charlotte Stevens consulting with the Doctors about the diet of some seriously ill patient. She has become one of the head dietitians of the hospital. In another part of the building I get a quick glimpse of nurse Muriel Harris carefully caring for her patient. As I think of these classmates I naturally think of their friends, Viney Morris, Jean Terry, and Anne Dameron. This leads to scenes of domesticity for these three friends have married and remained in Nelson. Suddenly, like a peal of thunder, I hear the sound of an airplane motor, and as a screen of clouds lifts an airliner comes into view. There in the pilot’s seat is George Gordon! In the same plane I find Ardella Butler as hostess, doing a very good job of distracting her passengers’ attention from their ailments, especially male passengers! However, Ardella ignores the whistles of such passengers to talk to someone who- why it is Nancy Henderson on her way to help establish friendly relations with the South American countries! The pictures fades and another forms. There is a man—a secretary. Hmmmm! It seems to be Doris Browning doing quite well as her boss’ favorite! ! ! A racing car comes into view next and I find that it is Billy Terry in one of the Craig-Terry Taxi Company cars. It seems he went into business with Gillis! As he arrives home his wife greets him-why, it is none other than Ruby Craig, a ’46 graduate. A scene of a very happy newly-wed couple forms, which I instantly find to be Russell Turner and Virginia Thacker! Incidentally, I had heard that he was a very suc¬ cessful carpenter and she was his secretary. Oh well, things are for the best now. I also get a glimpse of Dan Taliaferro who is progressing rapidly as his own boss in running a garage. My mind begins to wander until finally I see a picture of the nation’s capital and find Sallie Fitzgerald and Ruby Aistrop as important workers for the Interstate Com¬ merce Commission. Sallie is working against her will for she married quite wealthy and wanted to resign; however, the government wouldn’t accept her resignation as she is vitally important. A glimpse into the life of Mac Parrish and I see him quite happily married to Betty Jean, naturally. Next, blinding lights come into view and then dim until I can see their source. It is a Trailway Bus with Jimmie Tinnell as its driver. Then appears a picture of complaining high school students being given a really tough workout in exercises. The image of the person responsible for this soon forms and it turns out to be Eunice Adcock, Physical Education Director of the Consolidated High School back in good ole Nelson County. The scene fades and a large beautiful church appears. Inside I see the Rev. William Fredrick Rafaly, who is quite active in condemning drinking. At present he is preach¬ ing his famous sermon Gather At The River.” The venture is over, my friends are successful, and all is well. Nancy Trice. J 11 h
