CLASS Many years had passed since I had been in the halls of dear old Parry McCluer, I had attended a P T. A. meeting on this particular Thursday--my first such visit since returning to Buena Vista. In the midst of the program, a feeling of nostalgia suddenly swept over me, and I left the auditorium quietly, I wandered aimlessly down the corridor, The first door to attract my tearful eye was the one which led to Mr, Tenney'‘s office. It was ajar, so I wandered in. I closed the door behind me, after turning on a light over his desk, The sounds from the auditorium faded away.On the desk was a gigantic crystal ball, and beside it, a list of students whose absences had been checked through gazing into its depths, With memories of my own school days strong within me, I gazed into the ball. Suddenly, a figure rose to the surface, It was Clarence Argenbright, Remember how he used to sing in Miss Glass's government class? I learned from a card which he held in his hand that he has now taken over Eddie Arnold's TV program, As he faded away Doris Argenbright appeared, She had always had great artistic ability, and the card which she held in her hand informed me that her work was now being exhibited in New York City. She was followed by Jessie Austin in the ball, Jessie, as everyone expected, is now doing very well with James Lee and Sons', She is the first woman supervisor of the company. Next came golden-voiced Betty Bates, who is now the leading singer of the Metropolitan Opera, Also an entertainment star, I soon learned, is Billy Cash, He is now starring as a great lover on Broadway, He was on his knees before a beautiful actress in the crystal ball, In amoment Carlyle Cash appeared, Since leaving Parry McCluer, Carlyle has made all-American and become an important figure in the sporting world, Loretta Chittum, I learned, is still studying for her master's degree in Menology at W L. Billy Coffee is still in Buena Vista, He is now operating the largest skating rink in Virginia. It is some- what better than the one he worked at during his senior year, Doris Coleman is now house mother at the Beta House at W, L, Barbara Jean Decker really used her head when she went to the co-ed school at Louisville, Kentucky, for she has realized two of her greatest goals in life, Bobby Falls was recently elected Mr. Lover Boy of 1964, It certainly came as no surprise to all who knew him,
