Prolblaecy HOTEL CHARLOTTE, Charlotte, N. C., june 1, 1955. DEAR BUN: You have no idea how Charlotte, and all our friends have changed since we left for Hollywood ten years ago. I wonder just where we would be now if we hadn't gone over in our first picture, Lil Moron's Mistakef, You were dumb, but I was hopeless. It was playing last Friday at the Broadway along with the stage show. I decided to see it again. I stepped up to the box office to see none other than Margaret Cook selling tickets. Speaking a few words, I stepped inside. Low and behold, who did I see but Bill Houck. He was dressed in a tuck and was blessing out an usher. Drawing him aside I asked if he was still head usher. No, he replied indignantly. I'm top man over the head usher. Bill had work to do so I went to the same front row seat, that in my younger days, I occupied every Friday night. The stage show was just starting. Who should be the star but Mary DeArmon, Tap Queen of the South. Immediately after the show I rushed around to the stage door to see Mary, and there I met Mac Elliott, Mary's booking agent. We all walked down to Walgreen's for a soda. We found W'al- green's under the supervision of Dot Godfrey. In the rear' of the store, I thought I saw a familiar figure. She seemed to be looking for something. It was Doris McKinney still looking for lost bracelets. Mr. James Macon Coley, Jr., was seated in a booth. Mary, Mac, and I sat down with him. I inquired about his brother Gene. Gene and Ann Coley are now running Diamond Point while Jim is busy doing what he learned to do best in school, loafing. About this time Louise Simmons came in laughing her head off. She had been to see our picture at the Broadway, and remarked that we were as foolish as ever. She continued to laugh, so I left and strolled down to the library. Doris Hoesman was checking out a book with Ruth Hucks, the librarian, while Shirley Maine and Nell Wright were catching up on their reading at one of the tables. After talking awhile I left the library and went over to Conard Caldwell's news-stand. I picked up an edition of The Charlotte Observer, now edited by Charlie Kauffman, who got his start as editor of the Eavesdropper, Sharon School paper. Looking at the headlines, I read CAUSE OF DREAD DISEASE KOOROSUS DISCOVERED. Reading on I found that Dr. Harry Newman, and Miss Bonnie Roberts, the great woman scientist, after many years of research, found the cause of the spreading disease, Koorosus. It was a germ found under the tongue of a ball moth, cousin of the moth ball. Turning to the society page, I found that Mary Pierce Bullard had finally decided to settle down, and marry Buddy McCready. Looking into the next column, I saw that Doris Bowman was the writer of the Lonely Hearts section. Reading on I found that Jo Brice, and Betty Deal had joined the WACS during World Wfar II and decided to make it their life work. Then I saw a picture of Miss Nancy Smith in one of those ultra-modern versions of a bathing suit. She had just been elected Miss North Carolina of 1955. In the sports section I read that Peggy McAllister and Sis Hyatt are the leading players on a new Mecklenburg County basketball team. It was organized by Miss Sara Paxton, and is called the County Sure Shot All Stars. Bette Lou Courtney leads their cheering section. After reading this good news I turned to the comic section to read the new cartoon. It is drawn by one of the first women Cartoonists in the nation, Peggy Morrison. Peggy's cartoon, entitled Sassy Sue, Girl Gigglerf' just goes to show you that women have been into everything since World Wfar II. Looking at the classified ad section I read an advertisement inserted in the paper by Ann Lee, Charlotte's great music teacher. The ad under Ann's gave me an idea. It read: Ball Game Tonight-Griffin Ball Park. After reading this, I gave Conard his paper back, and hailed a cab for the ball park. Who should I see upon my arrival but Virginia Price, Carolyn Kiser, and Louise Gift Waiting for a fly bali in order to see the ball game free. I bought a ticket and went inside. Stepping over to the drink stand, I saw that it was run by Edith Thompson. She's still charging dimes for drinks. Buying a score card, I found a seat beside two other old classmates, Emma Peoples, who is now teaching the seniors at dear old Sharon, and Marjoree Chapman who's running a beauty shop in the Wilder Building. Looking on the score card, I saw that jack Price was the Hornets' star pitcher. Jack left basketball for bowling, and bowling for baseball. Now he,s on the ball with a quick lineup for the Washington Senators after this season. 1 Well, Bum, I'1l be back in Hollywood in a few days, and I'll tell you all about everything. Be seeing ya soon, RALPH MULFORD, Class Prophet of '45.
