AMONG MY SOUVENIRS By I . Magincztiofn, As I sat wondering where my school- mates were, for I was in a reminiscent mood, the front doorbell rang twice. lt could only have been the postman. I opened the door, and was handed a whole stack of mail. What does all this mean? I exclaimed. The postman didn't know the answer to that question, so I took all of my mail inside and sat down to read it. The first letter had a postmark of the Pan- ama- Canal Zone on it, which aroused my curiosity. After opening and reading it, I knew why I had received so many letters. Ten years ago when the class of '50, my class, gradu- ated, everyone promised to write me a letter ten years later, and tell me how successful they had been. Now, I was getting those let- ters. The iirst one from Panama was from Carol Overdorf. She was in Panama tracking down some germ for the government. She had always wanted to be a laboratory technician, but it led to isolating germs for the govern- ment. She continued, saying that she was doing sketches of the natives for her own per- sonal enjoyment. Later, she plans to exhibit her art work. Laying Carol's interesting letter aside, I picked up the next one, which was only a post card from Germany. Bob Hines was the writer of it. He is still in the Army and is directing the occupational forces in Berlin, still trying to get around the Russian block- ade. He said that Ben Coppess and Robert Alexander are both over in Germany and are top generals in the Air Force. Bob had re- cently heard that the new no-wing, no-motor plane that was flown around the world at the incredible speed of 3,000 miles per hour by Arbie and Wade Stone, was invented by William Godby, another schoolmate, who had turned scientist. ' The next letter was from India. Imagine my surprise when I found it was from Mag- gie Freeman. She had been associated with the Wm. H. Block Company since her school days, and now she was in Calcutta, deep in the work of designing new fabric patterns, suggested by the colorful Indian people. She mentioned that Mary Little was the air-host- ess on the airplane which brought her to In- dia. Then came a very business-like letter from Harry Hobbs, who is now the Secretary of State in Washington, D. C. He said in his letter that Don lnskeep is also in Washington, being Iunior Senator from Indiana. Max Starrett sent a letter from Chicago. After graduation, he had gone to Barber School, and had later opened his own little shop in Chicago. He now owns a large shop and employs several people. One of them is Mary Iean Wallace, who is a manicurist. Marcia Fancher wrote me a nice letter from Arabia where she is working in a hospit- al at one of the oil fields. She mentioned that she and Ieanette Pickett had sailed together from New York to England. From there, lean- ette had gone to Ireland. a place she had al- ways wanted to visit. After school she had decided to make trumpet-playing her life work, and was going to join McNarnara's band. Barbara Beard's letter was from a Navaio Indian Reservation. She is teaching the little papooses how to live the white man's life. Then came a letter from home. Hiatt's Garage is still Hiatt's Garage, but-now Rich- ard has stepped into his father's shoes and has a very thriving business. Richard also told me of the recent election of Richard Sample as Marshal of Sheridan. 'Tig ffl. TT
