Class Propbecp By VERNON PATE Ten years after my graduatlon ln 1950 fl om the Texas School for the Deaf I declded to I9 turn to the old campus for Fleld Day I was hlkmg along the road ln my khakl clothes as I am a poultry ralser It happened a t1re blew out and scared me almost to death When I looked at the drlver I found he was one of my classmates Jumor Todd He IS now a r1ch man and IS the owner of a ranch ln West Texas He had a lovely wlfe who seemed rather stuck up and a baby g1rl Wlth h1m 1n the statlon wagon Junlor 1nv1ted me to get ln and r1de to our Alma Mater We drove around and admlred the new modern school I was amazed to see our 50 class flower the gardenla growmg on the campus That evenlng our old class was to gather at the Commodore Perry Hotel for a banquet As It was almost flV6 o clock I hurrled to a tourlst court engaged a room and changed 1nto my Sun day clothes I went to a blg new cafe wh1ch was called Marvln s A man came along and asked me for my order I was amazed to see h1m slgnmg H1s beautlful sister served me a llght lunch They talked wlth me about the past I qulckly recog nlzed them they were Ellzabeth and Charles Mel ugm He took me to the bakery next door and wanted to 1ntroduce me to the owner I remember ed hlm as James Penny He owns that bakery and says that he has fifty employees to work for h1m We all talked together for a few minutes Thev were sorry that busmess would prevent then attendlng the banquet As I walked along the court a lovely ladv from MISSOUFI and her husband dr1v1ng a 1960 Cadlllac car stopped to engage a room at the motel We talked excltedly She was Jenme Lee Roach the salutatorlan of our class She sald she IS a hlgh school Enghsh teacher IH M1ssour1 and her husband IS the academlc pr1nc1pal Later we all went

brought her date to 1ntroduce to me I sald Your boy fr1end IS handsome She thank ed me and saxd she was worklng as an artlst for her frlend and they were golng to get marrled the next day Then we had
