Class Prop ecy May 15, 1964 Dear Diary: What an exciting day this has been! Seeing all of our old Senior class of '44. I could hardly believe that these dignified men and matronly housewives were the same boys and girls I went to school with. This morning I climbed aboard the Queen Elizabeth Air Ship to attend our class reunion and who would I see first but Winnie Golden. as the hostess and our pilot was none other than Bob McDaniel. Sitting next to me was June Oxford. She had come from New York, where she is Editor of the New York Times. We talked for a while about dear ol' school days and she told me about several of the P. H, S. Grads. Sammy Hall is a bouncer in a New York nite club, owned by Wayne Hopper. Wendlan Churchwell is a farmer who talks mostly about his pigs and wheat crops. Cloyce Terrell and Vernon Collins are both preachers. They are on a nationwide tour, creating a great sensation. During the conversation, June casually mentioned her S1,000,000, 20 room home, which was built by Glen Gipson, Lewellyn Hooper, and Ioe Paul Degge. Upon arriving in Plainview we took a taxi driven by Joe Owens to the Ever Lite Hotel. Leo Baxter came to get our bags and took us to see the owner. Bert Roberts. After talking with Bert for a few minutes we found that Iohn Thomas Boyd was Mayor and then we continued on our way to P. H. S. On the way we passed a beautiful blonde who seemed familiar. It was none other than Rosa Lee Waddell, now a chorus girl in Hollywood. Lois Franklin is another young woman with her name in lights. Her fame has come as a good piano player, Some of my classmates have settled down to more prosaic professions. Waring Walker is a doctor and owns half interest in the Plainview Hospital. Curtis Parker owns the other half and Bettye Martin is head nurse. Geraldine Sisk is a soda jerker in Olin Reddell's drug store. We passed a beautiful undertaking establishment and on the sign I saw the name Billy Felton, I hear he is in partnership with Dr. Walker. Oh. yes! Lamar Jones is a dentistg most of his patients are women. When I inquired about Bettye lane Ewen I learned she is a foreign missionary in China. Looking across the beautiful campus of P. H. S., I saw a young woman passing out cigars and patting peopld on the back. It was Dorothy True, running for mayor, From another direction I saw Otero Brown coming toward us. She told us she was teaching Homemaking. Frances Underwood is carrying on the tradition of the family and teaching math. Donald McCarroll and Iohn Mason are coaching a football team that beat both the Sandies and Westerners the same season. Back at the hotel we called the date bureau and asked for two dates so we could see the town. When our escorts arrived they were Bob Horne and Lee Scrivner. First we went to the new skating rink which was owned by Wesley McCulloch. The records played were by Evelyn Ogden and her all girl orchestra. A floor show was given by Louise Brown, Melba Jean Yancey, Frances Scheele, and Bonnie May Roberson. After the floor show Mary Belle Blackwell took us over to Glenn Terrell who put on skates. Everyone rushed to the door as the famous movie actor, Bobby Winkels entered. He is here visiting johnny and Donald and the P. H, S. football team. Standing near Bob was Claude Pruitt, who is now selling sheet music at Lily Marie Gilbert's Music Shop. Skating around and around was Elsie Faye Dayton, the society gossip column editor and Harold Reese, the editor of the Plainview Evening Herald. Maxine Brown and Mildred Damron glided to the curb in a long limousine. They are now proprietors of a coast to coast chain of beauty parlors. Coming later were Erwin Adams, owner of a famous ranch in the west, Emma Faye Guy, proprietor of the Fashion Shop, and Joe Culpepper, highway patrolman. Mildred Britton, wearing a very long face, came up to me. When I asked her why, she told me she had just ruined her last pair of graduation hose, 20 years old. Lois Reiser, now living in New York, is resting after writing the most famous book of the year, How to Pick Your Man. Patsy Williams is a college professor at S. M. U. At last I found who I had been looking for, Mrs, Snyder, Miss Wiles, and Mr. Davidson. They were sitting in a corner smoking corn pipes and talking of the good ole days in 1944.
