He is thinking: For one time in my life I hate to get well; the nurses are pretty; Gee, they are swell! I can’t tell who all the nurses at the hospital are but two of them are Nancy Pence and Mildred Greer. I wonder if either of them could have anything to do with his thoughts. I see a figure on the Morgan doorstep. Yes, it is the same one which used to lurk there. Lavenia opens the door. Alfred holds a bouquet out toward her, and says, “Such a contrast, my dear.” The door slams, and it isn’t a windy day either. Such a tragic end to such a beautiful friendship! Bennie Curliss drives a car well; doesn’t he? I thought so. I can clearly see that he will be a taxi driver in the city of Stanford. Since Wilbur Johnson writes such good themes for English class in high school, the cards say he will be a noted writer. I can see the A. P. store. There is a sign, “John Baker, manager.” I see a nice looking young lady buying groceries. Mrs. Daily, whom you remember as Juanita Garner, seems to be trying to buy everything in the store. Your classmate, Walter Holtzclaw, certainly will make a good lawyer. The only difference in him now and when he becomes a lawyer is that when he is a lawyer he will get pay for arguing and while he is in high school he argues free to take up time in English class. His stenographer will be one of your classmates, too. Yes, Talitha is still as small and as cute as she ever was. There are two boys in your class who will be agriculture teachers. Those boys are George Hail and Bobby Bryan. I wonder if they will be as good as Mr. Brown is? Lee will have to go some if he becomes as good a coach as Mr. Noe is, but he says he is certainly going to try. I can see that the Senior play did a great deal for two of the cast. Betty Ruth and Berta have taken screen tests and as I look at the cards I can see that they are in Hollywood making a picture. I can see the most dignified boy of your class, Howard Conley, as he leans back in his big chair. Why, you should be proud of the fact that you graduated with him. He is now President of a bank in Lexington. The door opens, and in walks Harold Koenig, who wishes to deposit his week’s salary. Harold is the manager of the men’s department in a large clothing store.” When I placed a coin in her hand she took her cards and disappeared into her tent. 7 177777777777. 7777 77 g 7777777 7777777177777777777.
