Tyree, who is a psychologist and a former classmate, asked me to make a survey of the whereabouts of our class of ’5 0. He said that these facts would help him with his work by making it possible for him to compare their abilities today with those of high school years, and it would be also interesting to note their accomplishments. But, between you and me, I think he just wanted to see how near I came to reality when I wrote the class prophecy ten years ago. Oh, well, as long as he gave me the vacation and the trip I’ll not suspect his motives. The day before I left the office in Albany, New York, I received a special delivery letter from a small town a few miles outside of Little Rock, Arkansas. You can’t imagine my surprise when I discovered it to be an invitation from Irene Hughes to come visit her ranch for several days. Evidently, she too desired to know about her old friends, because she had also sent invitations to the whole class. My delight was beyond expression. This certainly would make my assignment easy and how nice to have a reunion! After this I had to have some new clothes, so while in New York City, I tried to get in touch with Betty Jo Buchanan who is a designer for GLAMOUR magazine and Betty Joyce Forbes who models for VOGUE. While trying to locate them I ran into Pat Trice, a photogra¬ pher for both magazines, who told me they were out of town resting after a rush season. As soon as I telephoned Betty Davis, a social worker in New Jersey, I left for good old Virginia. My first stop was at William and Mary College where Lillian Spencer is teaching Physical Ed. I wanted her to go with me to Arkansas, but Leona Brooks, her assistant, had sprained her ankle and could not continue the work alone. Leona said that she intended to see Dr. B. A. Terry, a bone specialist in Norfolk, before she went back to work. She had just called Betty Butt, his nurse, to make an appointment. She also had an appointment with Dr. Cora Wood, the dentist, who had an office across the hall. When walking back to my car I was nearly knocked down by an apparently hurried professor. If you could have seen those whiskers, you would understand why I didn’t recognize Curtis Matthews as a Math professor. Before leaving Williamsburg, I stopped at the Tavern for dinner. At first I couldn’t believe my eyes, but I really saw Wesley Butler with his wife and little twin girls. He told me that he was being sent to France as a diplomat, but first he was due at a con¬ ference with Senator P. Massie Saunders, a Democrat from Virginia. He also said that he had heard from Ben Harris who, after five years in the Navy, now lives in the Philip¬ pines on a large plantation. Fred White had taken the traveling urge and is a contractor in Panama. He flies to Virginia every few weeks with Alvin Purvis as his pilot. While driving toward Tennessee I listened to the baseball game of the year. Warren Morris is manager of the Mighty Nine and Billy Jackson pitched that day for the Ter¬ mites. The game ended in a tie, just as 1 reached Nashville. Since I had heard that Ernest Purvis was a chemist there I tried to locate him. When I telephoned the laboratory, much to my surprise Mary Powell answered the phone. She was telephone operator for that section of the city. She told me that Marie Gowen had married a man who is part owner of a telephone company in California. She said, too, that she had traced a call that very day for George Rucker of the F.B.I. who was hot on the trail of a criminal. Being very tired when arriving at Memphis, I decided to spend the ni� ht at the Pin Drop Hotel. It so happened that John E. Purvis owns the place, plus a chain of others from the Appalachians to the coast. He travels from one to the other, but Grace Thomp- j 12 y son is manager of the ones in Chicago and St. Louis, so he doesn’t worry about those. John informed me that Mark Fitzgerald is advertising manager for all twenty-one of his hotels. He also sees Ruth Campbell rather often as she is an interior decorator and planned the arrangement of his rooms. But she is going back to Nelson County in the spring to attend her own wedding. Early the next morning I left for Hughes Spaces,” Irene’s ranch. As I neared Little Rock I must have been day dreaming because before I knew it a cop had stopped me for speeding. I was overjoyed when I saw he was none other than Otis Brent, but I needn’t have been, because he gave me a ticket regardless. Anyway, it was nice seeing him and he told me that Billy Ware is on an exploring expedition in Alaska. In another hour I was talking with Irene. As I roamed through her rambling old house she explained how Betty Ryan decorated the interior, and how she gave up interior decorating to be a Home Demonstration Agent in Pennsylvania. She is doing splendid work with 4-H Clubs. While Irene went to greet more guests I strolled toward the pool. For a while I stood unobserved and watched Maxine Fitzgerald practice her new swim¬ ming stroke that she will use when she swims the English Channel next month. Nannie Mawyer was rehearsing a number which she is to sing in her new television show in Texas. I disturbed the peace with a scream. The bushes were moving, but the laugh was on me. There sat Virginia Moon digging in the sand. She’s a noted archeologist; however, the only fossils she found all week were some chicken bones. Speaking of chicken, the food was delicious. It seems that Katherine Woody, a dietician had planned the menus. Kittv is now trying to secure a position in New Jersey to be near Betty Ann. Irene said that if I was afraid I had gained weight from eating the good food I could go through West Virginia and stop at Shirley Bradley’s Reducing Salon on my way back to New York. And if I still have the mania for cutting my hair, I could go two blocks up the street and have Adelaide Decatur fix my hair in the latest French style. Margie Showalter used to work with them in the beauty business, until she left to be a make up artist in Holly¬ wood. Before Irene could tease me further, William Robertson, her ranch foreman, who also raises fishing worms as a side job, told her that her prize race horse was sick. She telephoned veterinarian Harold Thomas promptly. As soon as Harold arrived, he sent me to the drugstore for supplies. Why didn’t he prepare me? The first thing I saw was John Proffitt as the pharmacist. Remembering the sodas he used to fix I was skeptical at first, until Russell Wood, the barber across the street, came running in and assured me that Johnnie knew what he was doing. Before I got back in the house, I heard some frightful screaming. It was Autry Bragg, who teaches dancing. While showing Nannie a new step she stumped her toe and like anyone musical was being tempermental. Just as Autry quieted, my car horn started blowing. On inspecting this I discovered Evans Martin closely examining my car. He ex¬ plained that he had designed the 1960 Oldsmobile. Now I know why my car has only three wheels. The next morning was Sunday, and since everyone woke up too late for church we listened to a sermon on television. The minister on the air was Bernard Ragland, who preached one of the finest sermons I’ve ever heard. My vacation had come to an end, and while bidding everyone goodby I remembered Mack Elliot. What had happened to Mack? I had a fairly good idea where to find him. You guessed it! Back in New York I found him at the stock exchange, a wealthy broker. After seeing Mack, I had either heard about or seen all of the graduates of ’50. Now my report is complete and tomorrow I’ll give it to John, excuse me, Mr. Tyree, and let him determine the conclusion. Patsy Wood. d 13 y CLASS WILL We, the Senior Class of L. H.

J 14 h CLASS HISTORY Yes, now the time has come for our graduation from Kindergarten, the first mile¬ stone in our school lives. It was a bright sunny day in September when we put away our dolls and blocks and moved on to the first grade and took up the reading and writing of big letters which later in life were developed into words. The following September we packed up our big letters and animal pictures and traveled up the hall to Miss Mantiply’s room where we were joined by Pat Trice and Paul Saunders, one of the brains” of the class. On arriving in the third grade we found problems that were of more difficulty to us than we had previously undertaken. We were introduced to a kind of arithmetic called multiplication and division in which we learned how to kick twenty-eight around seven times in four different directions. Here also we were bored to death with that subject some ’em called English.” We must have been an attractive class because Irene Hughes, Lillian Spencer, and Nannie Mawyer joined us before the end of the year. In the fourth grade we were met by Miss Saunders with those new and exciting subjects—geography and history which we hated to study, but loved to listen to. As if Miss Maupin, our fifth grade teacher, did not have enough to worry about, Cora Wood and Bernard Ragland another brain” joined us. Could we ever forget those thrilling movies, that Mr. Dumville, our new principal introduced that year? In the sixth grade we were surprised to find that we had a new teacher, Mrs. Bowling, and a new principal, Mr. Reed, whom we have been very fortunate of keeping since. Besides Mr. Reed, bought a whole new book of rules. Here we were joined by another well remembered pupil, Curtis Matthews. In September of 1945, we at last entered the seventh grade and were joined by Margie Showalter and Wesley Butler. In June of 1946 came our big honor—graduates of the elementary school of Lovingston. At last! We are now freshmen and have reached the second milestone of our school life. This year our class increased in size by the addition of Shipman boys and girls. Here, we were divided into two sections, Miss Lila’s and Mr. Atto’s. Our freshman year was high lighted by that ever remembered trip to Grand Caverns. Arriving in the ninth grade we were met by ancient history, algebra, and Latin; thev were like Greek to us. However, part of the burden was removed by the experienced teaching of Miss Walker. We were joined by Betty Butt and sadly left behind Betty Lorbes, Margaret Lloyd, Ruth Campbell, Jesse Wright, and Alvin Purvis. Becoming juniors we changed the old rule of Work before Play” to Play before Work.” Here we found that all the nice things that had been said of Mr. Coco were true. We had no homework which helped to change the above rule. He was brilliant and taught us how to learn with as little effort as possible. Remember the day our class rings arrived? The Junior and Senior Reception took most of our precious time during the month of April, but what a success! Also during this year the ability to operate those contraptions called typewriters was gained by most of us, but only by the aid of Mrs. Roberts, our ever very helpful and cooperative Commercial teacher. Now we are seniors, sometimes working and more often playing, and by the aid of our sweet and lovable teacher, Mrs. Coleman, enjoying the work we have. It seems that we seniors had all the luck, for to our faculty was added Mr. Coincon, who brought with him that scrumptious idea—tackle football in Lovingston High School and the first in Nelson County. All along the way from kindergarten to this time, we have enjoyed many happy hours. Those we remember with special pleasure have come during our high school years. There have been class festivities, the athletic banquet, the ever memorable trip to Lloyd, Miss Walker’s plays, trips to attend games at other schools, the school parties, and school movies. As the years roll on, we shall remember these high spots” together with all the other opportunities we have had at L. H. S.
