coming toward me—Miss Shirley Jackson escorted by her current beau. I see she is still a gal about town. While standing by the orchestra resting, I turned to see two prosperous looking gentlemen having a heated discussion about a new state law. Why, it was Tracy Matthews and Bucky Wood! Tracy was now an important Senator in Congress and Bucky was a prosperous merchant of Wingina who owned quite a great deal of stock in a railroad. To think they had been my classmates! The next morning, having a severe headache and wanting to get some letters written, 1 rang for the public stenographer. As she entered I blinked, for it was Arlene Showalter. We talked so much that I never did get my letters written. She told me that she still lived in Arrington, boarding with our former classmate, Katherine White who was married and had a beautiful home there. She said that Russell and Clyde Watts had gone into business for themselves after discovering a geld streak in the hills of Arrington. She said that they always handled the New York office, leaving Charles Thacker, a rising young executive in charge in Arrington. After Arlene left, I ate lunch and went out for a drive. Passing the new Lovingston High School I decided to look in, hardly expecting to see anyone I knew. While walking through the corridors, I heard the clatter of typewriters and a voice that sounded familiar. I looked on the doer and saw Miss Dorothy Kim Coleman—Commercial Director. I hardly had a chance to talk to her, there were so many high school boys hanging around saying, Please teacher, keep me after school.” She was evidently quite a success. After leaving her room I was going down the front steps when a baseball hit me squarely on the head. The next thing I remember I was looking into the laughing eyes of Nancy Wood, who by her white uniform was evidently the school nurse. The last bell rang then, and 1 gave Nancy and Dot a ride home. Nancy wanted to take a little girl home whom she thought was taking the measles. She told me that Winnie Mawyer was happily married and lived at Myndus and that this was her little girl, also named Winnie! The next day I decided to drive to Lynchburg to do some shopping. I saw Opalton Snead who was employed in Lynchburg and he told me that Warner Crocker was now president of the A. E. P. Co., and that Vernon Dillard was head of the Trailway Bus Lines. I was quite surprised fer all my classmates seemed to be doing quite well. While reading the evening paper I noticed an article in the Society Column announc¬ ing the engagement of Miss Betty Lee Banton! With a start I remembered that this was all my classmates of 1948 and how well and happy they all seemed! Ho! Hum! 1 guess tomorrow morning I can start back home. 1 am getting lonesome for my family anyway. Now at last my mind is at ease about the graduates of 1948!!! By: Joyce Ann Farrar 4 ii y
