He and Eileen have spent the past years in Nitro, recently organizing a group of chain stores that rival even Kroger’s. Gertrude Albin is now manager of the F. F. Dairy Bar and is married to Jack. Now, they have a whole flock of little (sur- prise) pin ball machines. Eugene Angell was very ambitious. He now owns a fleet of mov- ing vans. Two of his most valued drivers are Robert Hudnall and Francis White. Jack Bailey and Shirley Harbert, two quiet industrious boys (?) have gone into the air- plane business. Their motto is “A plane in every garage—why not two or three?” French Mandeville was awarded the 1974 Oscar for his emoting in “Telegram to Three Husbands,” directed by Charles McKee and produced by Charles Turley. This picture was acclaimed by Critic Helen Smith as one of the best ever produced.

That class certainly was full of Hills. There was Anne, Conrad, Glenna, Wanda, and Ronnie. We r£ad recently that Ronnie has been extremely successful in his archi- tectural engineering profession. His last building was the new ultra-modern school in Nitro. We always thought they might have one in time for our grandchildren, and sure ’nuff they have! Glenna is now affiliated with the widely renowned Com- stock family, via Robert; Wanda, dear, lov- able Wanda, the years haven’t changed her much—she still has the same interests— Howard and horses. She arrived in town this morning in her private plane, piloted by one of her husky twin sons, from her ranch, deep in the heart of Oklahoma. Conrad, always active in school affairs, is now president of a large company, produc- ing vitamized, pasteurized peanuts. It’s now 7:30 and the group is congre- gating in the magnificient school audito- rium.
