the tenth anniversary meeting of the summer class of 1935 JUl1B,lQ45l Ten years have marched on, and now, a decade later, some of the members of the summer class of '35 have gathered at their old Alma Mammy to talk over old times and recall their pals and chums, They are chatting and laughing. Let's join them! Do you remember how Harold Smith, Neil Haynes, Jack Weber. and Clede Beckley used to gang together? What one couldn't think to do. the others could. Harold and Neil liked to sing like the Mills Brothers, and pretty good they were too. Then both of them had parts in thejunior play, Three-Cornerecl Moon. Harold was the capable doctor and Neil the dreamer poet. Neil used to act his role of dreamer outside of the play to the great amuse- ment of those in his classes. jack Weber played the part of the youngest son in it too. He certainly was a terror. He used to get back stage and practice his ape cry while rehearsal was going on. jack could be serious, though, when he wanted to. He was president of the-lunior A.S.B, and was pres- ident of the Senior A.S.B. for two terms. And there is Clede Richard Beckley. Remember how he was forever propounding novel ideas upon every occasion. He was quite proud of the fact that he was elected president of his class several terms. Pep was his middle name and accordingly, he was elected yell leader in his senior year. Whenever you would see a group or hear a wild jumble of laughter and talking, you could bet your boots that Winifred Mulkern was present. How she could laugh and talk at the same time! Once she had a craze for learning poetry. Can't you just hear her reciting Gunga Din ? Phyllis Myerscough was her chum at school, wasn't she ? Phil was one of Che best dancers in that classg in fact, she would rather have danced than eaten. Wasn't that a cute little laugh she had? And there are Inez Dellacqua and Mildred Hinson. They are still the same height as when they were in school. They were almost inseparable pals or shall we say partners in crime ? Whatever happened to strike those gals as tunny was sure to be so it only made so by their laughing. They used to imitate Elncy dancers and what a side show they could put on! And look, there is Leu Butts. He was always a quiet person. Once he shaved all his hair off, which made him look like a peeled onion. How he was kidded about itl But Leo was a good sport and took it all right. Do you remember when the boys let their beards grow and how Floyd Fay Ramsey and Forrest Adcock were almost obscured by the facial foliage while Eugene Huggins thrat- ened to wear a false beard? It seemed that Eugene grew only about an inch in four years. His mother should have spanked him more to have stretched him out. There is a familiar head of blond, unruly hair. Yes, it belongs to Sally Thorsen. Will you ever forget that re- lic he called a car? How he drove it! He surely was careless with his own life, and anyone who rode with him took his life in his hands. Then those three musketeers--Virgi-iia Mertz, Ora Red Nansel, and Dorothy Ham- ilton. Do you recall having seen them ever when one wasn't talking like greased lightning about some experience? Virginia and Dot, with their blonde tresses, and Ora with her red hair surely made a trio! You could see Ora coming a block off la good, long city blockl. Her hair was like a beacon in a dense fog. Those three were three good reasons why teach- ers, hair turned gray. Henry Venema was quite an artist. When he signed a person's annual, he would draw at lovely bird instead of Glad to have known you, happy vacation , or some equally uor- iginal phrase. When the class came to Narbonne as B7's, there was one chubby little rascal Page Twenty- three
