Do dreams come true? These questions keep repeating them- selves to me as I think about that-that dream I had last night. Would you like to hear it? Then listen. The time was 1975. The scene was the home of the Presi. dent of the United States-the White House. This was the fulfillment of a promise made by George Barker, that if ever he became President of the United States he would entertain his former classmates, the Rector graduating class of 1951, with a party at the White House. According to my dream, I was talking with President Barker when I heard someone at the door. In a few minutes two men and a woman stepped into the room. At first I didn't recog- nize them, but looking closely, it was easy to see that they were Grantland Melrose, a prominent physician of Mem- phis, Tennessee, Doyne Parrish, a major league baseball player, and Mary Odell, a reporter for the New York Times. While we were talking about the good times we used to have at Rector High, the multi-millionaire, Bill Jewell, and his devoted wife, Doris Carter, arrived in a big limou- sine. Then Gloria Rust arrived riding the latest in trans- portation-an elephant. She had gained world fame as the African huntress who brings 'em back alive for the Barnum and Baily Circus. As we fed the elephant peanuts, Norma Coats, who became famous overnight when she sang Mule Train over television, drove up in her new 1975 Cadillac. Oh me! I can't seem to remember who was next-you know how dreams are. Oh yes! I do remember too, it was Douglas Matheny, a prominent Philadelphia lawyer, and his secretary, Joan Twitty. They were walking up the steps talking with Henry Williams, a philosopher equal to Socrates, when Margaret Green, who was an English professor at Arkansas State College, and Geneva Thomason, a telephone operator in Boydsville, Arkansas, arrived in a 1951 Buick. By that time the conversation was really getting lively. Then two other former classmates, Joan Barkemeyer, Sec- retary of the Young Men's Business Club of Rector, and JoAnn Thompson, Secretary of Mitchell's Funeral Home of Rector, came in. But wait, let me think! There was someone behind them, a beautiful and well-dressed lady, but I don't believe I remember who she was. Oh yes! I do remember-how foolish of me, I should have known-it was Faye Yancey, a famous Conover Model. At this point of my dream I remember walking over to the window, and looking out exclaiming, Well look who's here! It was two old maids, Thelda Parrish and Doris June Ward. Because they were always together during their high school days, I suppose they have refused to marry so that they can always be together. They are book- keepers for a Chicago law firm. Although the class had produced only one doctor, there were three nurses. They were Vadalia Huggins, Carolyn Winchester, and Ruth Lacy, who practiced their profession in the new Rector General Hospital. Wondering about the identity of the distinguished looking gentleman in the uniform who appeared at the door, I sauntered toward him and found him to be Ted Wimberley, an admiral in the United States Navy. Nadine Davis, the wife of an Arkansas farmer and the mother of three chil- dren, was the next to arrive. A few minutes later, Kenneth Deniston, manager of a nation-wide trucking company, arrived saying that he had seen Murl Joiner about half a mile up the street cranking his old Model T Ford. Murl was a Used Car Dealer of Kennett, Missouri. He finally arrived at the White House. At length most of the class- mates had arrived although I had not been able to meet all of them. Everyone seemed to be enjoying the enter- tainment furnished by President Barker which included the New York Symphony directed by Jerry Derden. The music was especially well enjoyed by Vonna Lou Burns, a private secretary for a Chicago executive, and Laura Russell, a bookkeeper for a large banking finn in New York. I also saw Alma Thompson, wife of a Chicago busi- ness man, and Louana Cossey, wife of a Chicago lawyer. If my dream comes true there will be several farmers. I distinctly remember seeing Albert Vangilder and his partner, Bill Vangilder, owners of a 5,000 acre livestock- farm near Rector, also James Deniston, owner of a large dairy farm, and Jerry Cooper, a prosperous general farmer. Bobby Snyder and Melvin Lawrence were livestock farm- ers. Another one was Lindell Gatewood, a cotton farmer. I remember seeing a few other classmates including John Wayland, a Detroit factory worker, Virginia Newton, the wife of a dairy farmer, Pat Mode, the world famous tight wire walker who at one time had broken every bone in her body and survived, Mary King, bookkeeper for Brumley and Landis Oil Company of Rector, and Helen Seay, a stenographer from San Francisco, California. At this point of my dream I awoke, yawned, and fell back asleep. I dreamed that I saw a man standing by the win- dow. I had a little difficulty in recognizing him, but then, like a flash, I knew he was Weldon Hatcher, a well-known psychiatrist, and one time head of the Little Rock State Hospital. I. could not remember--in fact, I never took the trouble to investigate whether he was still on the staff of the Hospital or whether he had become one of the inmates. i . fly, SS4 gig Y FIV CKCQ E? 41, RECTOR BAND i? g k 3' ,E I 4 ' yup ' m Q , .' , 5 5, - , Y N r ix F .2 , A S Af I 5 Q , 5 A A ,, 1 fQ Q , 4, .b .'f. jr M 1 CH0RIYSfHCirlS', CAST OF THE OPERETTA Model Brirlev ,ir BOYS CHORUS SENIOR GIRLS CHORUS ag' JUNIOR GIRLS CHORUS MODELS FOR OPERETTA Model Bride ' ,Ig ,Q- 1 -fs M, wp, ,qf W - X, THOMASON 'X Q Captain 'IQ' ' 4 N, .
