Gkss j9I'0PAlQC After a busy day at the Rockefeller Soclal Center I returned to my apartment Picking up the May 19 1965 issue of The New York Times I read At 8 15 am William Hall stepped into hls hell

golf course in Havana Cuba He is back in his apart ment in txme for a short nap before the evenlng meal Fantast1c ' I thought and then breaking the spell who should appear ln the doorway but m roommate Patsy Johnson loaded with packages an homework from the office of Donald Barry or whose Insurance Company she labors tirelessly ay after day Smiling at her I told her to sit down an have a cup of coffee then I told her to read e article I had just completed After she read it t is caused our thoughts to turn to other SCHS class mates of 1955 Patsy told me she had just seen Dot Devasher Jean Porter Jernigan and Annette Old ham going into Radio City where they are appearing on James Browns panel discussion show Accent on to Lula Bell Shlrrell Joan Hunter Joyce Poole Wlllovene Graves

a success of her chosen profession Peggy stated 1n her letter that Adella and Sue Ellen Lmk had recently traveled all the way to Rochester for medical treatment Just then the telephone rang and I recognized the voice of Eunice Hodges who had recently acquired a new husband She had just arrived at La Guardia Airport in her own private plane from Texas where they recently discovered oil on their two thousand acre ranch She IS donatmg one half mllllon dollars to Neva Wilson s Observatory of Music in Cincinnati Ohio We were very glad to her her voice and in vlted her over to visit us Before gomg out for dinner we turned on the television to help relieve some of the tension of the day s work Strange to say we received more mforma tion about our classmates than we had had ln quite a while Who should appear but Announcer Kenneth Shank lm with his News ln 3D The following news flashes were given In the election of 1968 Gordon Meadors is pre dlcted to be Presidential Candidate of the
