Last, but far from least, the Rubyniscent brings us to Darlington. Quite a number of 1951 graduates remained here. HEYWARD and HOWARD TUNSTALL are no longer the quiet, shy fellows they were in high school, but form the fiery partnership of the Tunstall and Tunstall Law Firm. MIRIAM JEFFORDS and BETTY JEAN ADAMS are their private secretaries. Still in politics is ELIZABETH CARRIGAN, who is serving as mayor of the city. We are unable to contact MELVIN EVANS, because his duties as sheriff of Darlington County keep his away from the office so much, but his deputy, DAN BOAN, tells us that he’s doing a remarkable job of chasing crime from the boundaries of the country. TALLUALAH NEWSOME, residing in her Black Creek Estate, is completing her latest book, “Hints on Public Speaking ’. NELLIE KELLY is her secretary and her sole duty is to spell words. RALPH DIXON is running a non-stop helicopter service between Darlington and Florence. ALAN HUDSON and BOBBY COOKE are his chief pilots with a ten year record of no hits, plenty of runs, and few errors. Looking so attrac- tive in blue-gray uniforms and acting with the grace and charming ways of Southern belles are stewardesses MAKY BELLE DEWITT, SARA WELCH, VIVIAN ANDERSON, and LOUISE BLACK- MON. At MARY LOU BYRD’S Academy for Girls, RALPH CARNES, ex-professional football star, is coaching Dennis, a form of tennis he revised for girls. The buildings of this lovely preparatory school were drawn by JIMMY MCJUNKIN, the Carolinas leading architect, and constructed by JOHNNY MASON’S Constructing Company. Green and rolling are the campus lawns, planted and kept by CHESTER MCQUEEN and JOE BOOTH--landscaping is no task for them. Before leaving Darlington the screen pictures the thriving business section once again, and the interior of VIRGIL DAVIS’ one-man barber shop. He has invented a chair which lathers, shaves, and brushes the men. We thought beauty parlors were the only vicinities of gossip, but Virgil told us that the husbands of JOYCE WEATHERFORD and REBECCA CASON said they were complaining of not having time to complete their household duties. It seems the girls pay too much attention to CHARLES LANGLEY and his Lovable Croon Lads over station FSJS, owned and operated by OLIN KIRVEN and HARRY FREEMAN. ROBERT SPIVEY and HAROLD TIM- MONS, who owned an interest in the station previously, sold it out when they went to serve as officers in the U. S. Navy. Leaving Davis’, the Rubyniscent ventures next door to the swanky dress shop, Summer Garden, operated by HELEN SUMMERS and ANNE GARDNER. The machine automatically turns off and we know all our classmates of 51 have been con- tacted. We are overcome with joy to find our former classmates so prosperous and contented. The convention is nearing a close, so we decide to do some more reminiscing at another time. We have to return to our respective jobs and fulfill the wants and desires of the people.
