cu-iss PRQPHECY On May 16, 1955 the graduating class of 1950 met at the home of Mrs. J. N. Lilly, their former' home-room teacher at Ridgecrest, for a class reunion. petty Jean Almond was the first to arrive. We weren't very much sur- prised to find she was now operating one of the best beauty shoppes in the state at Five Points. Frances Almond came in looking very happy. She invited us all to her wedding, which was to be the next week. She said it had taken her almost five years to decide where to have the wedding, although she still planned on marrying her high school boy friend. We were all surprised to find that Jack Tucker, the cutest boy n our class, was now an outstanding lawyer in Lambert. Virginia Tucker came in wearing a very fashionable outfit. She said she was now a secretary and had a very handsome boss. We hope she doesn't have as many worries over her masculine friends as she did in high school. Kathleen Paige reminded us to tune in and hear her on her radio pro- gram next day. She answers all questions sent to her on love and happil- ness. Ed Smith and his pretty little wife were the next to arrive. He said he was now the owner of a popular service station in Locust. His wife looked rather jealous, but I guess she remembered he was chosen the sweetest boy in our clasls. Jackie Hatley and her husband came in looking very much in love. They are now living in a five room house on Rocky Grove farm in South Mission. We hope she uses her rolling pin more for baking than she does on her husband's head. Ruth Almond was the next to arrive. She had on a very stylish outfit and 'looked very lovely. It seems she has made a great success as a model in New York. She is wearing a beautiful diamond, and I believe the lucky guy is that secret admirer who used to send her prsents. Carrie Huneycuttt gave us one of her sweetest smiles as she came in, wearing her pretty nurses' uniform. She is now head nurse at the Cabar- rus Hospital. It seems Gerald Freeman is known as a famous doctor. I'll bet he's begun to think seriously of that pretty blond-headed nurse. Hazel Furr said she was a baby sitter for her sister's children in Albe- marle. The reason for that might be because of that good looking boy who lives next door and frequently comes over to sit with her. Everyone laugh ed when Tommy Whitley said he had a good steady job as pie-taster in the Frog Pond bakery. If you buy a pie and find it has been nibbled, you will know whom to see. Thelma Harwood is back from Reno where she has received her second divorce. It seems she has met another handsome man. We were all happy to hear that Jack Laxton is now the manager of a famous hillbilly band. Mildred Smith was bubbling over with praise for the girls' basketball team at Ridgecrest, which she has been coaching for several years. They haven't lost a game in three years. Juanita Smith was the last to arrive at our reunion. She said she was working in a do-nut shop which her fiance owns. Of course the reason he hired her was to find out if she could cook, but we hope he loves her anyway.
