Eugene Neal has married several years after high school and is living north of Tryon. Ruth Connell as a secretary to the President. She keeps us all informed on the happening in Wash- ington, D.C. Ron Dobbins married to his high school sweetheart and they now drive a Thunderbird, having handed the red and white Ford down to Jr. Ron Paxton living on his own ranch. He and his wife are raising Angus cattle and Redheads. Tom Ellis has recently finished medical school and now has his own TV series Dr. Cure-All. Mike Connell conducting his guided tours of the Dismal River National Park. Wayne Melvin has recently won the Mr. America title. Lorraine Streiff owns her own ranch. She is raising horses and training them to fall gently. Joann Stoddard has won the Mother of the Year Contest. Jeroldine Harvey has 24 children. She found them cheaper by the dozen.
