There I found Billy Gardner and Sam Hughes, famous athletic coaches. Billy Beasley, President of Beasley Motor Companyand Howard Mitchell, world famous soda 'jerk', being enter- tained by the greatest blues singer of them all, Kiss Anne Rubenstein. Landing my ears to the enthralling sounds, I soon became entranced. Abruptly I was shaken out of my rsverie by the baby voice of Evelyn Mitchell, famous por- trayer of children's voices on the stage and screen. She was talking to Holly Jones, Colleen Lay, Betty Lisenby and Ola Has Bell. These girls had all become expert salesladies in large department stores, never having forgotten the guidance of Ir. Gaffin, of course. It was extremely soothing to leave all the ranoous noise and be able to converse qudtely for a few minutes with the renowned evangelical preacher, T. L. lebb and the famous missionary Sioux Rita Bridges. This quiet company was too good to last and we ware soon interrupted by larvin Hendricks trying to enroll us in his class on 'Acquiring Yankee Speech Habits.' Ihmous rebels, Billy Jack Jones lremembered for his 'No'S! and Billy Cates owner of a chain of service stations soon ousted him and peace reigned once more. As the reunion was over I noticed two last great personages, Kiss Betty leadews, executive secretary to the President and lies Reaalee Parr, owner of a dress shop for fashionable ladies, on their way out. I waved a fond farewell to them and to the group and wsnded my way hemeward. As I sat before my desk in the office of the 'Pounds Daily Scoop' the next morning I began to reflect and I decided that the llass of '48 hadn't done so badly after all. 777Q,.?.-Mi WXJQH ' XASX4 - 437 A N ,:'i'JLig:1 Q2 - R1 I if Y ff' , r If f ix X Rf 3 5 X ht ii A an-an L7 55' f ' wr an ?EgE,,! rI!':11 , E M f 4 if 1' jiiiGlfg2k?'q'r- X Nag ev zfewong, iQ +1 V fr wx 1 5 t Y A f 'Eg if WM!

61088 roplzecy nEPos'r 'ro THE Pmorm' 'For he's a jolly good fellow' melted away and the beautiful strains of 'Alma Hater' took its place. Class Reunion!!! Here we were, all the members of the class of '48 returned from the four corners of the world to ll. H. S. I, the news-hound, note book in hand, decided to wander through the group and find outjust what each one had accomplished since graduation. Faithfully reproduced here below is my report On an improvised soap box in one corner of the hall was Billy Norris Joyner, Democratic candidate for President. Louily he was proclaiming the evils of the opposing parties and di- rectly to his right stood George Jennings, saying at correct intervals, Yes, Hr. Joyner, Correct, lr. Joyner , Indubitably, lr. Joyner. Having a sigh for old times I left this group. Iith a determined gleam in my eye, I drew near a large group of housewives busily discus- sing the daily routine of housework. They turned out to be Hrs. Joan Moore Pillow, Ure. Jean wilson Daniels, Irs. Bobbie Shepherd Cooke, llrs. Peggy ann Kerr, llrs. Sue Hastings Campbell, llrs. Hai Sisk Dedmon, and Hrs. Bobbie Connell Irby. Of course, some of these were llre. before school was out but a couple were late additions. Taking census of the dinner count was discovered Ailene Pugh, quite a success as a di - etitian. With her and conversing busily were llyla Sus Baird, Evelyn Stratton, Modean Rogers, llelba Sue Oliver. They seemed to be discussing their pupils, so I gathered that they had fol- lowed in the footsteps of llrs. I-Iam and become schoolteachers. Next I stumbled over Dr. llathilde Jackson, psychoanalyzing Arlie Glenney. Sure that this would prove interesting, I stuck around. However, Psychiatrist Jackson failed to make contact with Arlie's brain and was forced to conclude, 'Gadtt a perfect vaccuuntt' Her friend, the noted chemist, Nancy Burns, said, See, d1dn't I tell you so? why you ever - -, -, -2' 80 afraid of being involved in a family brawl, I wandered on. Spying will Jerry Pillow and Glynn Holt alone, I approached to see if I could glean any- thing of interest from these two. They were arguing Cas usual, over their incomes from their farms. Being gentlemen farmers must be nice but not having a green thumb, I soon drifted away. Ann Carter, Mildred Evans, and Mattie Sue Bramley next caught my eye. Talking with Jean Tomerlin, they made an interesting group. All efficient secretaries, one for a law firm and the three others for companies across the continent. .Tune lloore and Evelyn Carden, the head salespersons in the largest 5 and 1091 store in Americajoined the group so I moved on to green- er pastures. Suddenly Edwin 'Hoe' Hill and Sidney llcLemore rushed up to me, both shouting at me at the some t:Lme. Super-salesmen for rival companies. 'loo' had for a long time carried out his threat to be a hobo but finally he became ambitious. Before they left, I found I had purchased controlling interest in the Standard 011 Company and was the sole owner of the Brooklyn Bridge would anyone be willing to buy these items from met I guarantee I'm not trying for any profit lisa sara Jane Bryant, the superintendent of an extensive system of English schools in south america, was sitting for a portrait by the famous artist, the Runbrandt of the United States, Charles Chandler. Next in line for a sitting were Dr. Billy 8. Robertson, famous phy- sician, and Betty Sue Taylor, the world's champion woman athletic. Nothing new could be learnd here so I moved over to a group of men in the center of the hall. 30
