Duke. A conversation with her revealed the fact that a long and extensive search was ended.Louis: had just signed up for the role of Scarlet in Gone With The Wind . She had made her dranatic debut, so she told me, when she appeared in A Poor Married Man in 1938. I went back to the sunny south, and there I found Floyd Flening, Jr. owner of the Buick Motor Companies. If you Seniors still like to ride in a Buick as much as you did in the old days, I an sure Floyd would like you to patron- ize his shops. I went through Raleigh, N. C. and ny atten- tion was attracted by a newsboy shouting, Extrai Extra! read all about the new Governor! I was anxious to see who had been so luck. Could it be true? Yes, James Williams was Governor of North Carolina. He really had used that know- - ledge of his. He used it still further when he selected Katherine Paschall as his secretary. I am proud of that class and I hope every member of it will continue to be successful and will make me even prouder,.

I couldn't resist seeing this wedding, so I went in. Never had I seen a church decorated more elaborately. I wonder if this could be the Pres- . ident's daughter's wedding but I soon found that |) 1t was not. Then the minister came into the pul- |) pit. Was I seeing things? Before me, dressed in 7 a long robe, stood Caswell Smithwick. When I | nS | turned I saw the bride marching slowly down the Will aisle smiling happily. Oh! it was Dorothy Short. vy}, I had never realized that dear old Dorothy was Nall so pretty. Wil I traveled west to Chicago, where to my joy, N E I found John Jackson playing baseball.John has -), |) taken Dizzy Dean's place as the most outstand- AL ing player of the year. He never lets his tean ||| be defeated, but he always takes hone a voctory. i) As I proceeded westward I passed a home that |) took my eye. It was a large house surrounded by | ) beautiful seenery. The fields were large and .¢,||) well kept. Certainly the owner of this large es- ) tate knew something about agriculture. I then ||) saw a man come out of the door and walk aown the sey |. lane. At first I could not see whe it was, but |) as he came nearer I knew it was Norman Bullock, ||| Norman must have been greatly benefited by Mr. Blum on agriculture class,when he was a senior.
