{ 244 'P'lofi ectf, Scre-e-e-e-e-ch! The brakes of my car squealed as I swerved to avoid a very sleepy Mexican peon who had used the Parker-Hope highway as the site of his afternoon siesta on the afternoon of May 20, 1960. Although I was hopping mad and asked him if he knew he had very nearly cost me and my eight children our lives, he looked up lackadaisically, smiled sweetly, and said. Si, Senora, but I have news for you. Imagine my surprise when Pancho, for that was his name, had recognized me as a graduate of NYCUHS and a member of that best-of-all class, 1950. With half closed eyes he began to divulge news of classmates, and with some considerable prodding from me, he stayed awaked until he had finished. I was not surprised to hear that Marjory Hoover became the state auditor or Arizona after her graduation from business college, but to hear that Carol Clayton Garner was now postmistress of Parker and the mother of nine children came as quite a shock. Her husband was still delivering pop to points on an arid desert. And remember, Senora, that fine typist. Jack Price? When he is not running the drive-in close to NYCUHS, he is substituting as bookkeeping teacher. This was just as I had expected. Pancho's voice was faltering and his eyes were blinking more rapidly. You can't stop now! You halted me in this strange way and began giving me inform- ation in which you knew I would be interested. As I picked up a large boulder as a threat he went lazily on. Well, Senora, do not be in too big a rush. It is very, very warm, and we must take things easy. I suppose you would be interested to know that Joyce Robinson is Arizona's wealthiest woman now?” “No! I screamed. How did that come about? She decided to buy out Mr. Brogan and soon owned the country's greatest chain of theaters.” I pondered over this for some time and wondered if I dare approach my beloved class- mate for a small loan. Well, go on, Pancho! What about Melvin Gardner, Mary Tabor, and Carol Irwin?” Melvin,” replied Pancho, has lived up to everyone’s fondest hopes and is now head coach at Stanford, although he took time out to design Parker’s new high school building.” “Mary Nell Tabor, he went on to say, is enjoying Colorado’s cool weather with her husband and six year old twins, and Carol Irwin is just too busy to carry on correspondence since she is not only adviser to the home economics department but dietician for the high school cafeteria.” This Page Contributed by E.
