IPRCPHEC CLASS ,I111r,,,,ffrfffffffffffffff 'V ,M f! !-!im 4- ---eg: Late one afternoon in June as I sat on my front doorstep, I could see the sun going down. what a beautiful sight I I began to reminisce my school days and classmates of 1951. I stole a quiet retreat to my library to re-read the itinerary letter from my classmates. I rested my weary head against the back of the chair. Could it be possible that ten long years had passed? A strange feeling of repose came over me, and I found myself wandering into a strange land, but yet, many things were so real. There were many beautiful trees and a magnificient building. I peeped in the window and saw a teacher explaining how to bake, cook and sew. It was none other than Emma Conder. Odell Curtsinger was waiting at the school to take his son home. After her last class of physical education for the day, I saw Jenean Mooney walking home with the star football player As head doctor of the Veterans Hospital in McAfee, I saw Betty Yeast prescribing some green beans for her patient, while Elizabeth Davis went from room to room with a word of cheer for every soldier. At the desk Roma Jean Farney was seeking information concerning Fred Darson, a sergeant who had been wounded. Suddenly, I found myself in a big city surrounded by strange people, various noises and towering skyscrapers. A handsome bachelor said,uHello there fn I stopped to talk to Roger Moore. He was still trying to decide whether he wanted Frances Pinkston or Emma Conder for a wife. In the Trust Company Office, I saw Dorothy Jones taking dictation from her boss, Jimmy Wheeler. In the City High School, copying after the famous English teacher Mr. G. R. Reynolds, I saw Helen Ruth Niceley pondering over her student's English papers. In a grocery store, I met Virginia Pelley acting as cash- ier. Helen Price was designer in one of thelatest dress shops and was so sweet to help me decide on a new costume. Next, I met a very sedate book- keeper at Broyles Publishing Company. It was dear old Ann Ransdell. She smiled shyly as she related how she spends her evenings waiting for Bobbie Poulter to arrive. The next part of my dream took me back to Kentucky. At Ebenezer, Nancy Thomas was preparing her day's work while Earl Ransdell took care of their babies. As wife of an undertaker in Barboursville, Beulah Watts quietly assists her husband. A whirling sound and a gust of wind seemed to envelop me. I felt my- self floating through the air. My I I was glad that was over. Where is this? A beautiful home, scenic beauty and a pretty girl like that is only only found in California. It was Jane Watts waiting for H. P. Smith to come home on furlough. A bunch of old love letters lay at her feet and I noticed one of them was signed, Buddy McRay. A siren sounded and I was caught away. The odor of chemicals stiffled me, a man groaned, and I peer- ed into the face of our old coach, Mr. Champion. A firm but familiar voice said, uYou'll survive if you follow my orders.n It was the famous surgeon, Kenny Bob Horn who had made another successful operation. These visions caused me to awaken from my dream. As I returned to my porch to watch the sun set, one of our favorite English quotations came to my mind. HThe best laid plans of mice and men often go astray.N With Compliments: THE LANTERN TRUCK STOP, Louisville Pike
