Of course Kenneth Phetteplace has taken over his father’s farm and last week he was ap- pointed the Agricultural Agent for that vicinity. Robert Green, the handsome-man of the class, is an employee of the Western Maryland Railroad Com- pany. And Lloyd Gearhart—I’ll never forget that bashful boy!, at least we all thought he was bash- ful—is now a proud papa of three children. Now dont’ get the idea that all the boys have stayed close to home because they haven’t. After much traveling, Arthur Tracey has finally settled down on an estate in California. Naturally that would have to be in the class and that would be none other than Carl Kipe, now residing in his winter home in Florida. I think everybody expected that of him. Richard Ross graduated from Johns Hop- kins University last year as a Medical Doctor. He and Jean Weaver, now a registered nurse, have started a hospital of their own, in Michigan. Talk about nurses, three of the girls went in training. The other two are Mae Smith and Doris Barnhart. Mae is supervisor of the Mercy Hospital, and Doris has been working in a Nursery in New Orleans, since she graduated from the Washington County Hospital. Vivian Walter, the petite singer of the class, is one of Lily Pons most talented competitors. She graduated from Peabody in 1950. Lois Reecher, after extensive training, has become one of John Powers most popular models. You have probably seen her picture in Vogue many times. Of course we all know Betty June Biser would go to the Uni- versity of Maryland after graduating. She was em- ployed by the Chicago Airlines, and I can imagine the picture she makes in that uniform. Kleora Dif- fendal also went to college. She graduated from Hood and is now a member of the Smithsburg High School faculty. Last, but not least, is Catherine Davis, the propiretor of a hotel at Blue Ridge Sum- mit. Page 29
