Speaking of discoveries, that great scientist, CLAUDE Einstein HORN, has been working on a solution which he calls Growumtall.,' This solution is the greatest thing since the discovery of Hadacol back in 1950. Claude claims that it will make anybody, even SARA XVILSON, grow tall. Claude chose ODUS CHAFFIN to be his sales manager, but I happen to know that Growumtall is not what made Odus grow tall! By the way-Sara is now married and is living on a big dairy farm near Cool Springs. I saw JOE FEREBEE the other day, he's a Methodist preacher now, you know, and he said he had been holding a revival in South America. He said while he was in Florida, he noticed this swanky and very alluring restaurant, so he decided that he would splurge-a plate lunch costs 55.89. QI guess that's the truth, he told me so, and he's a preacher.j Despite the cost he ate there at that restaurant. DORIS COOK came out to wait on him. From what he said she must have really been ustarched and pressed. Of course she had to be neat to keep up with the appearance of everything else around there. loe admits that he really had a good meal, so good in fact, that he asked to meet the proprietor of the place to get some of the secrets to take home to his wife. When the proprietor finally wended his way through to Joe, it was none other than CORNELL ALLEN. Cornell told him that the secret really wasn't his, but it was LOIS COLLINS', his head dietitian. Lois got her start back at Mocksville in home economics. There's where she planned her first meal. Lois gave Joe the recipes free, because he was an old school mate of hers. Joe then took a bus from Tampa, Florida, to South America. This was made possible by the erection of a new bridge. fThey say that GUY HARTMAN figured out exactly how this bridge was to be built.j When Joe got on the bus, the driver was none other than JOE ANN ALLEN. She says that she really likes driving that bus- it's so much easier than driving a school bus. Speaking of Guy Hartman, since he has completed his masterpiece, the bridge, he has built a new mansion. CHESTER JAMES, the great interior decorator, designed Guy's home and it is said to be perfect in every detail. They say Guy certainly is a gentleman of leisure now. He has a maid, a cook, and a nurse to take care of the kids. He employed JUDY SLATE to keep his booksg she has him booked with so much profit, that the income-tax people collect about S5000 a year from him. ANN POSTON is married, settled down, and she now has one girl in college who is on the famous Latham's Louisiana Lancers basketball team. NANCY LATHAM is their coach. They have captured oodles of trophies. I guess Latham must be as good at coaching as she was at playing. Well, what will happen next? Even farming is easy now! MADELINE RICHARDSON, our county farm extension worker, told me the other day that they had radar-controlled tractors with attachments that will simply do anything from milking cows to planting a flower garden. She told me that HENRY BOGER already has one. He just sits on his front porch and touches the button that causes something- goodness knows, I don't know what-anyway things get done in no time at all and with practically no effort. His cost him only S7,637. Cheap, I think. I heard the other day that MAXINE GRIFFITH had won the state typing contest for this year of 1970, and due to popular demand, she is now writing a new book called Typing Techniques. When the book is finished, Koontz and Anderson Printing Co., will be the publishers. This is a relatively new printing company. One of our former classmates, DOROTHY ANDERSON, is a co-owner. Well, bouncing butterflies, my paper just came and the headlines say that RUBY NELL EVERHART has been elected Governor of New York to replace Thomas E. Dewey. That was some campaign she waged, wasn't it? She nearly went broke buying cigars. Gosh, Jean, I expect I'd better hang up-my boss may come back from lunch anytime now. Here he comes right now! Well, so long, Sis! Bye- MAXINE SMITH, Prophet

CLASS PROPHECY Operator, get me long distance. The number is Detroit 24376. Hello-JEAN-Guess What! I just got a letter from JANE SMITH telling me about several persons who were in our graduating class of '51, and I simply couldn't wait to tell you about them. It seems that Jane had been chosen as a juror for the spring term of court in the now huge city of Mocksville. By the way, the school building has been moved from its former location, and the old building was bought by Dr. GUY FARTHING and has been converted into a small hospital. Of course he has another hospital at Statesville, but he leaves his head nurse, WILLIE MAE PEOPLES, in charge of the Statesville one most of the time. Jane had to go to court last week and she said that the first case tried was JOHN JOHNSTONE'S. It seems that he had speeded through Mockston, formerly Smith Grove, and that famous highway patrolman, ROGER LEE WHITTAKER caught him. John, charged with speeding fin his Speedmaster Limousineuj, was clocked doing 210 and the speed limit through that industrial city is only 185 miles per hour. These foolish laws! Anybody knows there is no use of poking along that slow, even through that town! The next case was called and BILL BENSON, the arguing attorney, was solicit- ing a divorce for CATHRYN NEELY Lipe. I don't see why Cathryn would need a lawyer to talk for her, she used to do very well talking for herself when she was in school. Jane said there were some other cases that were pretty serious, but that head juryman JIMMY POWELL, kept insisting that they flip a coin to make the decisions for the majority of the cases. DOROTHY DYSON was the courtroom recorder. She learned her short hand back in high school-mm-nineteen years ago-I must be getting old, too! I was in my kitchen yesterday and turned on my television set and there was pretty boy LAWRENCE CARTER. He now has a show every day. He is sponsored by McBride 'Mater Mush. JANE MCBRIDE started- growing tomatoes for her 4-H project back in high school. She always was proud of her tomato growing and didn't mind telling others how she did it either. The story goes that MARY FRYE decided there was a future in the tomato market, so she gave Jane her recipe for the tomato mush, which is really just thick tomato soup. Soon they drew up a partnership and began putting plenty of Vitamin C out in cans. Lawrence really has a splendid program. The other day he had that Soft-Lake duet on his program, and who did it turn out to be but the former Krazy Kranks, BILL SOFLEY and CLYDE LAKEY? They did their special version of Over the Rainbow. Lawrence announced yesterday that JANE CLICK, New York's noted pianist, would be on his show tomorrow. Jane is going to make a concert tour of Russia next week since the iron curtain has been opened. Gossip has it that she is going to a party at Stalin's. On her tour she said she might drop in to visit EDITH SALMONS who is a missionary in Africa. In the Moclzston-High Life, a first class newspaper owned by EDITH POTTS, I saw an article advertising a rodeo that was coming to town. It features the famous Bronc Buster, BOBBY TEX TENERY. He claims that he can stay on the back of any horse at least one hour, and he can ride standing on his head on some of the most gentle ones-sounds like an acrobat to me! I saw ESTELLE WRIGHT the other day, and she had been on a business trip to Teno, Nevada. On her way back, in Denver she dropped in at the Maria Smith Salon, that is, owned and operated by MARY ELIZABETH SMITH. Estelle had her hair dyed purple with green bangs while she was there. She also had it permanently waved. They say Mary Elizabeth's greatest rival is NANCY STROUD. Nancy's shop is in New York, but thousands of Mary Elizabeth's patrons go to Nancy trying to get that permanent wave out of their hair. Nancy is the only one who can take it out. She even has the secret of how to keep peroxided hair from becoming streaked. By doing all this, she really draws people to her shop, or should I call that magnificent place a shop?
