PRINTED IN THE RECORD November 15, 1952 LETTER FROM ACADEMY GRADUATE OF 1939 Miss Charlene Lucile Bentlcy recently returned to Pikeville from Chicago. She presented a letter to the editor ot The Record, asking that he publish it, for she felt assured that the Academy teachers would be delighted at the success of the members of the graduating class of 1939. 1 he following letter was written to Miss Bentley by another member of that class : July 15, 1952, Los Angeles, California, Box 312. Dear Lucile: The other evening I looked through our school Highlander for the year 1939. Now, as I think over those days, the teachers may not have been so cruel as they seemed. I ' m glad they exacted several things from us, especially in the English Literature. I have saved all the clippings I have found in newspapers concerning our class of 39, and I have heard of our class members from other sources too. It seems that every member of the class has achieved something outstanding. I saw the article in the paper which told of your receiving the highest award ever given a nurse for her work in the field of spinal menengitis. Beulah Mae Roberts is the Superintendent of Nurses in the Methodist Hospital at dear old Pikeville. Do you ever see Bobby Henderson ? He is engineer on the Western Pacific Railway now. He was graduated from Georgia Tech a year or two ago. He is president of the Brotherhood of Engineers also. Do you remember Joan Salt from Detroit? She is now starring in That Diving Star as the Diving Star. She is gaining great fame from her graceful dives. I found the following information in the Courier Journal about Charles Chrisman : Mr. Charles Chrisman, an outstanding engineer of the county, presented his Alma Mater with a new five-story gymnasium. It has an excellent arrangement of playing floors and recreation rooms. Maxine Ratcliffe earned her B.M. degree in music, is one of the world ' s out- standing horsewomen, finally married an English physician, and is now living on a Virginia plantation. James Thacker, our Senior president, is now America ' s most brilliant engineer, the only four-time winner at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, three times winner of the Bendix Transcontinental and Western Air Trophy, and numerous speed records have been broken by him. I suppose you know one of the greatest projects of the modern age was completed the 13th of this month. The great transcontinental highway was finished, linking North America with the nations of Europe and Asia. The last stretch was the Bering bridge, connecting Asia with Alaska. Due credit is given Francis L. Rice, the contracting engineer in charge. He was largely responsible for its construction. I saw Frankie Hames last week. He has a tailor shop in Pikeville. His adver- tisement says, I fit all sizes, even mine. He has now taken Edgar Rice ' s place in cartooning for Tarzan. Yes, I nearly forgot, he married a lovely little woman about six inches shorter than he is, and they have two children. I hope to see you at one of my lectures. I have resigned my post as the Head of the Department of Economics at the Lhiiversity of Chicago and am now touring the U. S. and speaking on the subject Vitamins and the Human Body. In the spring I plan to tour Europe and speak on the same subject. Sincerely, Elizabeth Forsyth. [21 ]
