While sitting alone in my room on the eve of May 27. 195 2. 1 decided to listen to my iadio-television set. I turned the dial and to my surprise heard a familiar voice say ‘C-O O I.. Coolvillc. I looked at the plate and saw William Kayser as the radio announcer. Bill, as we all knew him announced. “Schoolmates of the Past. I his interested me further, so 1 pulled up my chair and watched the plate more closely. This is what I saw: Pauline Clark and her husband have found a career as salesmen. Evelyn Cubbison is a famous beautician of Washington. D. C. She writes often to her old friend. Clayton Lamp, who has taken Mr. Barnett's place as history teacher.
