PRUPHECY Masonic Home, Ky.. May 28. 1964. Dear William. We were very glad to hear from you and wc are sorry that you couldn't be here for the dedication of our new swimming pool. We feel very proud to have a classmate in Paris studying art. and we are sorry that we cannot be there with you. Betty Blanton, who is the private secretary of Billy R. Fortner tthe successor of J. Edgar Hooverl. came down for the dedication. She is still as pretty as ever and we were all glad to see her. The plans for the new swimming pool were drawn by none other than Robert Barker. who has become the chief architect of the Barker Construction Company. He is very successful and we are proud to claim him as a former classmate. We were glad Shirley Southard could take time out from her television rehearsals and pro- grams long enough to come down for the dedication. As you know, she has become a very success- ful comedienne and we are justly proud of her. We didn't expect Bennie Rogers. the head basketball coach of U. of K.. to come because of his full schedule. But he took time out and came down anyway. Jean Barker. his attractive wife. came with him. We were very glad to see both of them. Phyllis Jarvis is now a home economics teacher in her home town. Olive Hill. Kentucky. She is married now and has two children. We were glad that she and her family could come. Jean Stepp also came. As you know, she is now married to a football player. Her wish has been three-fifths fulfiled. She has three boys and wants two more. Randall Harper is now chief electric en- f' Q gineer at General Electric and his time is limited. I guess you know he is married to I Janice Jackson. They are very happy to- gether. Janice completed nurses' training and was head nurse at Johns Hopkin's Hos- pital in Baltimore, but gave up her job after she married. Now her favorite and only patient is Randall. Peggy Hall is now a photographer for Life Magazine. She was very busy but found time to come to the dedication. She took some very good pictures that day. Oh! By the way, we saw some of your pictures in an Esquire Magazine. Thcy were very good. Your former classmates, PEGGY HALL. JANICE JACKSON.

As sponsor fox the junior class I natur ally think they are the outstanding class in the school Their activities are many and xaried Jackie is one of our star basketball plavers and Jim Bob the editor of the Jun iox Journal Our girls are well represented in almost ex ery group in the school two of them being cheerleaders three on the hockey squad four in our school chorus and the whole class in the Senior Christian Endeavor. Besides this. their exceptional aptitude for chatter is second to none. Their conduct and general attitude towards their school as well as their high standards of conduct and morals make them a real joy to their teach- ers. Wherever they may go and whatever they may do I feel sure that we at Masonic Home will be proud of them. Mrs. Lillias Ashbury Sponsor.
