1 LXIIL i il: N , pw E 4 Z gi, THROUGH THE SPYGLASS My car rounded the curve and came to a halt in front of the Pavo Institute of Atomic Engineering. Mar- veling at the changes which had been made in my old home town in ten years, I stepped out and gazed at very unfamiliar scenes. Was everything changed? Had I been away so long? Quickly, I hurried up the walkway to the office, to inquire about the meeting place. I was amazed to find Laveme Crosby at the Secretary's desk. She smiled and told me that she would soon join the other members of our class in the auditorium. I was ushered down the aisle to the section marked, Class of 52 , by two distinguished high school Seniors, Andy Wasden and Linda Faye Baldwin. I hardly recognized them! I glanced around at the familiar and now famous people who were already in place. Near the front was Pavo's Television Station President, Betty June Duncan Gardner and her meek little husband, Aldine. Between them sat their seven children. Next to the Gardner, sat Mary Fallin Brinson, overseet for National Sears, Roebuck and Company, and her husband. QI remembered what fun Mary and I used to have with a new Sears Cataloglj Someone handed me a program for the day's entertainment. I glanced down at it and read, at ten o'c1ock a lecture will be given by Miss Mary Clifton, and her famous project, the Vapo -Rocker to the Moon. Following her talk, Mr. Carrol Fort and Mr. Paul Sherrod will present a blackface duet. Mr. Fort and Mr. Sherrod are the famous stars who appear in T.V. Station WPAVO's program 'Llorrac and Luap . Musical interludes will be in charge of Helen Nolen, her piano, and her Nolecats , Edward Shepard, Hilton Cooper, Oleta Barrow, Peggy Kennedy, and Olan Wilson. Today's reunion and program was arranged by Mrs. Walter Scott and the Senior Class of 1962. The Seniors take pleasure in presenting this program of entertainment. Here I paused and looked up. The auditorium was almost filled with alumni of Pavo School. To my left sat Mary Frances Darby, writer and director of an interna tionally famous motion picture, IGNOMNCE ABROAD. With her was the cast, Helen Mathews, Bo Pate and William Simmons, and sound-effects man, Johnny L. Daniels. Farther down, sat Elizabeth Kennedy, coach of the Institute's Electrons , Shirley McMillan, discoverer of ranadium pennicilli, a cancer cure, and Joanne Bryant, love-lorn columnist, who writes under the name, Dirothy Dox, chatting excitedly. Slipping into seats on the row ahead of me were, M. K. Weaver, owner of the world's largest circus and Wilburn Sloan, explorer and scientist writer for National Science Magazine. Next to me sat Marjorie Smith, President of Lucy's Lucious Lipstick' Manufacturing Company, and Billy Gear, recently appointed United States authority on Atomic Energy. This appointment was made by United States President, H. F. Groover, Jr. Mr. Gear will work with Miss Mary TaylorQYes, still Miss! U, winner of the 1961 Nobel Prize for her novel, How I Discovered The Last Six Elements . Q The Institute's President, Mr. Thaxton I. Shelley gave a welcome address and Mr. W. E. Gear spoke for a few minutes. I learned from Lavem, who had slipped into the seat to my right that Mr. and Mrs. Gear had retired and were living in a penthouse apartment on Pavo's famous Harris Street. Lavem also reported that Mrs. Pat Alderman owned a large country estate 150 miles from the city and that Mrs. Ellis had become director of the Institute's Concert Orchestra. After the program was over, 1 spoke to everyone and hurried to write my news story for the Associated Press. By: Beth Murray
