PIIIIPIIII Y 1 Raleigh, N. C. It September 5, l964 Dear Mary, Last summer I wanted to visit you but I had almost no time left after I returned home. The trip I took was surely a pleasant one. After having taught school for ten years, I thought I needed a vacation, so I set out in my new automobile to see the world. I thought I had better do it before I died of old age, not having seen any of the world. Before starting, I went around to the corner filling station, owned by Floyd Garner. I wouldn't have gotten very far without gas, jet-propelled cars haven'tcome into use yet. Believe it or not! I was off on a most exciting trip for what could have been more thrilling than to see old classmates after ten years. My route was through North Carolina where my former class- mates were leading their interesting lives. After motoring for several miles I stopped at the office of a huge newspaper, the News Times, to see Betty Driver, the editor-in-chief. Betty's society editor was Alice Brantley who collected all the brides' pictures. lAlice told me Mary Rose House's picture was printed not long ago.l Also on the Times staff were J. C. Wilkins, sports writer, and Sarah Braswell and Nora Lee Sullivan, stenographers. Later that day I attended a football game where the famous gridiron players Bobby Greene and Eugene Griffin were on the field. Beside me in the grandstand were Virginia Futch and her family. High up in the broadcasting booth I saw Bobby Simpson. Near the half-won mark someone was hurt and out onto the field rushed the great surgeon Magdalene Underhill with her ever faithful nurses, Mary Eliza- beth Gordon and Emma Lou Griswold. u .The next night I stopped at a small, neat tea room. I was glad I picked this one because Verla Phillips and Geraldine Toler were the owners. Sitting at a little table near me were Frances Taylor and her husband. Geraldine and Verla are good cooks, because I was served a most delectable meal. ' I went in a post office in a small town the following morning. Behind the window I saw Billy Price, the postmaster. He was talking to Hubert Price, one of his rural mail carriers. Hubert told me that he delivered mail to Bobby Phillips and Charles Narron, who are now very progressive farmers. That evening I went to the theatre where I saw the I964 Capades. Franklin Anderson, master of ceremonies, introduced the comedian, Charles Wilson, and the tight-rope walker, Carl Knott. The twin dance, a very lively number, was done by Betty Jean and Geraldine Crabtree. Darion Fowler and Bobby .lean Worrells provided the music for the show. Seeing these outstanding actors perform gave me a most enjoyable evening. About noon the next day I arrived at a great oak shaded college, where I found several old friends. Strolling across the campus were two professors, Katie Ann Dunn and Jack Temple. They took me on a college tour, including the science department where Fred Jones was doing research work. In the art department Geraldine McCray was instructing her students in the sketching of Maybelle Horton, one of the ten best dressed women in the world. In the college nursery, where the professors' children were kept, were Dollie Underhill and Mable Eason the operators. They always seemed to like children. On my way home I stopped at the Supersonic Flying Machines Company, where l was welcomed by Helen Bailey, the receptionist. Here, two important iet-plane experimenters were the mechanical- minded Turner Williams and Thomas Brown. The plant was enormous and it took me almost all day to go through it, but it was very interesting. By the time I had seen all these people and places, I was tired and started homeward. I felt greatly refreshed from my vacation, but I had to settle down again to the life of a school marm. You know it seems such a short time since we were seniors in Selma High School. Time flies, doesn't it? Goodbye, BETTY LOIS BOYETTE
