S556 ,. PROPI-IECY OF IUNE CLASS, 1937 David West It is 1950 and the annual meeting of the Merchants' Association is beinq held in the ball room of the Robert E. Lee Hotel. As we look around the room, we Hnd a number of prominent business men. The first one we notice is Gray Shermer smoking his left over cam- paign cigar. As our eyes wander around we see Raymond Holder, the carpenter representative, seated in a very beauti- ful chair. The new mayor of our fair city slaps Raymond on the shoulder. Well, if it isn't 'AStink Holder. What are you doing here? Why, haven't you heard, laughs Raymond, that North High has eighteen representatives present at our meeting? Now let me see, studies Gray, if I can remember any of my old class mates. There's Moir Lancaster, the gro- ceryman, D. Allgood, owner of Kress department store, T. Tilley, bookkeep- er for Hollywood's leading cowboy- Buck lones, and Melvin Fogg, clown at the State Theatre. That seems to be all I can remember right now. Do you remember any, Stink? Well, now let me see, replies Stink. There's Grace Darden, author of 'Gone With The Schoolf and Law- rence Highfill, the shoeman who seems to be having trouble in finding shoes that fit his feet. USay, Stink, don't you remember Frances Newsom's ability for acting? Well, she'S a chorus girl at the new the- atre-The Liberty Street Opera House. And, by the way, what's become of Doris Tucker? Iheard that she and Moir were married. Do you sup- Lancaster pose they are getting along okay? Doris Holden is also on the screen-don't you remember she got her training proposing to the North High boys? And Paul Cheek has gone into the tailoring busi- ness so he can make a pair of pants to fit himself. BLACK AND GOLD The other day I was walking down the street, when I happened to look in- side a dog-pawn shop, and what do you think I saw? replied Gray as he puffs harmoniously on his cigar. I saw Da- vid West washing away on a big, Ger- man police dog. Seated at a big, ma- hogany desk, I saw Ruth Landingham, checking the dogs, as Clarice Bruce, the dogcatcher, brought them in. Why, that's nothing, yawns Ray- mond, as he stretches his long legs, the other day I was sitting in my office, working over my carpenter contracts, when Margaret O'Neal came in looking for a job. Of course, I would like to have given her one, but I am not getting regular work, and I can hardly afford to have a secretary and pay her four or five dollars a week. That's not even enough money to keep up Lawrence Highfill and his wife, Mary Bennett, who are trying to live on love. Throwing away his short cigar stub, and lighting another, Gray leans back in his chair, and throws his legs up on the radiator. That about covers our whole class, except a few more, whose names I can't remember. Looking directly in front of him, Gray sees a familiar looking person trying to get his attention. While speaking to Raymond, he accidently looks up to see the big eyes of Paul Cheek, the tailor. HWell, look who it is! A'Come here, Stink, I want you to our old classmates, Paul we have been discussing meet one of Cheek. Paul, our old class mates. Do you remember any? Paul takes a seat that Stink has po- and begins telling all he litely offered knows about the remainder of the class. MThe last information I have on Sara Barrett is that she is still trying to date Robert Taylor, and our friends, Marie fContinued on page 1961 Page eighty-one
