THE PASSING PARADE Being in a sentimental mood the other day, I went to the film library and ran some of the old pictures of the Class of '47. The first one was old, but I still recognized Margaret Barks- dale, Donald Britt, Amos Connell, Ben Dalton, Betty Dekle, Melba Dossey, Dorothy Douglas, Nancy Ellis, Frances Ferguson, Irene Griggs, Nancy Hefner, Pat Hicks, Doris Joyner, Carolyn LuEman, Dickie Meadows, Ola Mae Miller, Bobbie Moothead, Betty Nichols, Margaret Odom, Ruth Rawls, Betty Redding, Johnnie Roberson, Thelma and Zelma Roberson, Allen Ross, Marion Sanders, Melva Schneider, Ann Shaw, Becky Shultz, Mary Alice Smith, Chedoine Stanaland, Jack Thompson, Vivian Tucker, Dot Vogt, and myself running relays, falling 05 the seesaws, and spraying each other with water. This, of course, was the beginning of our long, dramatic journey over the road of Education. The next him I took out was marked Second Grade-1936. The casting oHices had sent Ruth Gray, Marie Hocker, Bettie McNeal, George Stelogeannis, Margaret Ann Tubbs, and Pat Whigham to be members of the cast. This picture showed the bravery with which we faced the tire of the enemy. IWe were taking typhoid shotsJ The third picture was really funny. We were the Primary School seniors and some were lucky enough to have the pretty Miz Johnson as teacher. Talent scouts had discovered Jimmy Foster, Louise Fulford, Hallie Hall, Shirley Huff, Jimmy O'Steen, Willard Shoemake, Joe Stansell, Hattie Tyler, and Marjorie Williams for the Ocala Public School Studios and had placed them as extras in the picture. The fourth film was entitled, How to Play Hop-Scotch, or Youive a Long Jump Ahead. Marjorie Blair, Love Lindsey, Shirley Lindsey, Betty Pentacost, Grace Stephens, and Barbara Whigham's faces were visible in the background shots. The fifth grade added Whitney Bramlette, Robert Carter, Bob Fort, Chris Jensen, Leon Miller, Carolyn Luffman, and Mary Alice Smith to our long list of stars. The latter two had returned to our studio after four years lease to another studio. Measles, fractions, and puppy love were the theme of the sixth grade film. Mary Helen Ketcham was the only new dis- covery that year. The seventh grade picture was a bittersweet one, with the declaration of war mingling with the thrill of being in Junior High. We had reached the silly stage and laughed at every- thing, including Director Matthews' jokes. Hazel Buchanan was introduced as a new starlet and Jimmy Foster made his first comeback. Graduation was the title of the eighth grade picture. Whit Palmer and Mary Alice won the American Legion awards and were we thrilled over the exercises in the new gym. The ceremony was very dignihed with the graduates dressed for tumblingi Marion Krazit, Ray Milton, Jerry Ryan, and Helen Thompson were featured in this film with Willard Shoemake making a dramatic comeback. Next year we starred in a big production entitled, Youill Be Glad When You're Dead, You Rat You. Gordan Beck, Marion Doro, Pat Holden, Jeanne Hugli, Louise Katiba, George Newsom, Freddie Sherouse, Jackie Thompson, and Jeanette Williams broke into the movies this yeari Hattie Tyler, the Whighams, and Marjorie Williams returned to the studio after lease to other studios. The kid party was a big success, with the seniors acting like kids and the frosh gaping at the seniors. In the sophomore picture football season brought our lan- tern dance. The old oak tree was a victim of the same hurricane. Margaret Ann Alvarez, Joyce Bennett, Rebecca Browning, Pauline Busbee, Ben Covington, Betty Jean Free- man, Edsel Godwin, Louise Perryrnan, Meriarn Randall, and Carolyn Tillman were extras. Jimmy Foster and Dickie Mead- ows made comebacks, too. Two magnificent extravaganzas were produced in our junior year. The first entitled, Carnival Time and the other, Garden of Reflections. Both involved a great deal of work and some were elevated to the tanks of producers and directors. Dorothy Cherry, JoAnn Cobb, Joan Duane, Bill Faust, Joan LeSueur, Mary Lewis, Moe Lowe, Bob Mauk, Joanne Pharmer, Roger Phillips, Mary Ellen Shanks, and Asa. Strickland made their debuts in these productions; while Marjorie Blair, Nancy Hef- ner and Mary Helen Ketcham made comebacks. The final picture was filmed in glorious technicolor and showed us in doubtful dignity. Arthur Glattli, Jack Harman, Bob Jaycox, Howard Jonsson, Barbara Keehn, Charles McLeod, Harriet Mahan, Pat Metzler, Milton Miller, Matthew Wall, Willene Williams, Bill Wilson, David Whitworth, Willis McLean, and James Yancey joined us in this our triumph Academy-Award production. Giles Clark and Dick MacKoy made brief personal appearances. So replacing the pictures, I left the hlm library and strolled through the halls of O. H. 8., filled with fond memories of friends, teachers, and good times which made up the Passing Parade of the Class of '47. Historian: AUDREY HENRY
