S QS M010 ec? s. ' 6QgQS:s PLACE: ORRVILLE HIGH SCHOOL Xxg3E TIM : HOMECOMING CELEBRATION 1959 NCatherine Parker! It's been ages since I saw you! Are you still teaching English here at Orrville High School?H uYes, I am, Joan. I've been here nearly three years now. Homecoming is always a great occasion with us now. I'm so glad you could get here! Did Sam come with you?H UYes, but I have lost him in the crowd. We're having a grand time, seeing everyone we used to know. This is certainly different from that first homecoming. That was the year we were seniors! Do you remember how nice Margaret looked as queen? I wonder where she is now. Do you ever hear from her?N WOh yes! She will be here later on. She's working at Craig Field-- and, would you believe it? She was elected Miss Craig Field last spring. Margaret is still as popular as ever.U NI haven't heard any news in so long! Tell me everything you know. Where is everybody? Am I the only one of our class to get back?H NI should say not! There's Nick Lindsay now. Orrville was lucky to get so successful an agriculture teacher. No girl has quite made the grade with him yet. Eugene can't come though. I got a wire from him from South America this morning. He had gotten the invitation, and wired to let us know that he is on an important job that has to be finished by the end of this month. He is making a name for himself as a civil engineer.H nHow nice! And I saw Glova last Saturday as I came through New Or- leans. You should have seen the Alabama--L. S. U. game! Glova handles his boys nicely. I stayed to speak to Glove and to congratulate him when the game was over. He told me that Marion was there, writing a play by play description for C. B. S., but I never could find her in the crowd. Marion was always good at things like that.N nJoan I got a letter from Betty last week. New Orleans reminded me of it. Betty is private secretary for a rich business man in New York and travels a good bit. She said when she was in New Orleans a few weeks ago she had dinner with Dolores at Antoine's. Dolores is co-owner of it, and Betty said that was the best food she had ever tasted. French, of course! She is quite famous now. Our class is doing fine, I think. Did you see those blue and white pennants in the school building?H nYes I wondered where you got them. They are not ex- 9 actly like the ones we seniors , are they? NNo, indeed! The Since Deryl has bought there has been so much exclusive apartment house in 5 if c Q ordered to sell in 'le-9 when we were Selma Printing Company made these. 9 it out and is managing it himself, A,W Y improvement in their work! And you I r X Dum I'm invited to spend a weekend ,tl 1, with them during the Christmas holidays!U HHow Nice! Catherine, I do miss seeing our old friends! But I had a letter from Lu- cile Crawford the other day. She is a model at Macy's in New York. She specializes in suits and sport clothes. Lucile was always one of the best dressed girls in school. She told me that she went to a baseball game the remember Betty Jane Lowry, I know. She is living in a very Atlanta, Georgia. Her husband is manager of Sears there now. I2

iigx segggg Christine, Marion,and Margaret were elected cheerleaders--a coveted honor. Margaret was chosen by the senior class to be Miss Homecoming. She was an attractive feature of the parade as she appeared on the float with her King, David Weedon and eleven attendants. She was presented between hal- ves of the football game that evening and received a large bouquet. This was espgcially an honor since it was the first time homecoming had been o serve . Through the years the boys of our class have been active in athletics. We shall be watching, Diary, to see what comes of it. I should not be sur- prised to find some of them taking their places in the world of sports. Next time I write, Diary, I'll be a graduate of Orrville High School. It will be a grand feeling, but it frightens me just a little. I'll tell you more about that next time. CLASSEHISTORIAN O ,L o ' ..-. , 5 325 Q?

day before I was there, and you'd never guess who was playing first base for the Yankees! Pat Knight! He's making big money with them. She must have an interesting Job. She said Jean Ellen Jewell came in that morning to buy herself an evening gown. She was making her debut at Carnegie Hall that evening, but I was leaving town and didn't get to hear her!U HYou knew Christine and Dan were married soon after graduation, I'm sure,Joan! They are living in their new home just this side of Selma now. You must take time to go by to see them. And I know you remember Mary Joy! She went to business college after she finished here. She must be efficient. I noticed in the Advertiser the other day that she is secre- tary to the Governor.H NI knew she would do well. And the family told us that Pete has done quite well also. He'll make a good senator, and you folks were smart to elect him. Dad tells me he has many influential friends. FUTURE YEARS UYes, indeed. You know David is President of ,- Z the City National Bank, and Neal is President ofiie ,gf C QQ 'gfgu Farm Bureau. Both of them supported Pete. And, of -t 5335 course, I gave him what small help an English teach- l 31 Q A er could. J. C. is operating a chain of service ' ,faq ' stations, and Ralph is a gunsmith in Birmingham. He 4. X Q M - will be here I am sure. He comes home often. They j, !7'W say he has the largest collection of guns in the xx-eaffseffwl' United States. And you will see E. P. too. He lives XMB' -fr'-C5-,,,f 11,. near here. He bought a thousand acre plantation and has stocked it with cattle.n nAnd where are Marie and Janet?N UOh, Janet is buyer for one of the largest firms in Los Angeles. She travels a lot, but she wrote me that she would not be able to come today. Marie will be here though. She was cashier of a Montgomery bank until she married the President. Of course, she is not working now.H HI know you have seen Sarah s picture on the back of Look magazine! She made quite a fortune as an advertising model. But I understand she is going to marry Vic Damone. Oh, I hate to go! But I see Sam looking for me. Come to see us when you are in the West. Oregon is a fine place to live. We'd love to have you come, Catherine. N. E. A. is meeting in Los Angeles again this year and I won t take no for an answer. See you again before I leave though.N 6' .
