PRIIPIIECY F Sail Ho, Matey! The gangplank has just been ri ged in and we are on our way today, May 18, 1976, to another meeting o our old mates from the class of '56, It has been a stormy life for some of us and smooth sailing for others. As I look from the crow's nest with my super atomic binoc- ulars, I see our mates as they pass in their present status. First I turn mybinoculars to the starward bow and I see my old friend Herman Sorrells, who is now captain of an ocean liner. The chow is pre- pared by Chief Cook Wallace Powell, and their health is kept in excellent condition by the very capable Doctor Martha Hodges and nurse Betty Carol Purvis. Anchored off the Hawaiian shores I see Admiral Cecil Davis. The is- land is infested with old buddies. At the Coconut Paradise I see Rex Blount and his jazz band practicing. There are the renowned fan dancers known as the Uga Girls--Vallie Fountain, Bessie Moss, Helen Burdeshaw, and Doloris Pippins--waiting for their cue. Comedian Randall Collins, is in a corner of the Blue Room killing a joke. Martha White, a talented sing- er, is sucking a lemon and waiting or Rex to tell her when. The famed Royal Hawaiian Hotel is equally as popular. In the beatui- ful pool is the Olyrnpic swimming champion, ean Spivey. Watching Jean perform are the three bell boys, Jimmy Brown, Joel Williams, an Jack Smith. Seated near the pool is Willie Dell Hall who is now the wife of an air force officer. Thousands are drawn to this hotel because of their fa- mous foods that are supervised by their caterer, Merle Smith, assisted by Betty Rash. As I look at the roster I see reigistered the popular TV stars, Katie Box and Faye Thurman, Emmie Craw ord, who is Miss America, multi-millionaire Wayland Childs, and Models Sue Smith, Joann Hall, and Jo ce Meadows. YNowfI turn my binoculars where I can see our own terra firma--the United States. Over in a wooded area I see Billy Watson inspecting his plantation. Not too far away I see Louise Justice and Bonnie Collins Ful- ord smipremely happy being farmers' wives. Donald Bolin has a large cattle arm. - A few of us continued our education. Morris Holloway is the principal at Fadette. Lillian Collins teaches the first grade, Rebecca Hundley social studies, Johnnie Maude Smith English, and Annette Hamm directs the daily calisthenics. - The new telephone exchaplge at Malvern is very modernistic. It is managed by June Hollowa , eva Jo McClenn , and Jean Whitaker. Over close to Burns Gihurch I see Jackie 'I:ew, who is a mail carrier, stuck in the mud. Connie Mills, also a mail carrier, is trying to pull him out. Zoomgng over the city of Slocomb are the two ace jet pilots--Loyd Coker an Wesley Mitc ell. Joel Tew and Richard Carroll are the very best known criminal lawyers. Their secretaries are Joyce Williams and Bobbie Palmer. At the corner of Railroad Street and Trash Alley I see a large super market owned by Grady Harris. His employees are man but best known are the delivery boys--Wallace Killingsworth and Edwin Davis. In Washington, D. C. , our country is being run by an ex ert--President Robert Kelley. The murals in the capitol are being changed, by our very own artist, Lamar May. Standing at attention in the Arlington Cemetery is Buck Private Phillip Pippin. Congressman Charles Avery and Senator Don Callihan are busy preparing a bill that will prohibit employees from working more than four days a week. Madison Square Garden is a complete sellout. Gerald Kirkland will challenge Kenneth Vinson tonight for the heavyweight championship. Betty Jean Martin, the Governor of Alaska's wife, is in Washington with the governors secretary, Ima Jean Register. She has come to have her clot pls designed by the amous designers Laurie Jane Patterson and Joel Wri t. To the right of the Mall is Rile Business College owned by Glenda Riley Her instructors are Sara McDonaldZ Mary Tidwell, and Hattie Metcalf. . As I live and breathe, that gets all of us. Now, Matey, to the port where we can anchor our ship and wait for the reunion of the class of '56. Lorena Bedsole, Prophet O
