As The Years Roll By One warm day in the month of August, I was walking through the woods when suddenly I spied a queer book sticking out of a hollow tree trunk. Upon further examination, I found it con- tained the names of my classmates and what they would be doing in the year of 1960. On the first page appeared the name of Dottie Brandeberry, our class President. She is spending her spare time planning and decorating old houses. The second page bore the name of Betty Ann Bryan. She had made a name for her self as an opera singer. She has given up the stage and is raising a happy group of youngsters. Otis Allen, after years of selling pencils has made a fortune and he and Mary have settled down to a life of leisure. Nettie Barnhart runs the Korner Kitchen. Louva Bise is one of her many waitresses. Frances Brummage is a famous horse trainer for Republic Studios. Dorsey Burkhammer, the boxing champion, has put his gloves away as he is ready to re- tire. Ronnie Chapman, disappointed in love, now owns and operates the local movie theater. In the current picture, Donna Connolly is the star. I see this is her last picture as she is going to marry her high school sweetheart Tom Taylor, who is now a bull fighter in Mexico. Jean Faren is a nurse in a large Cleveland hospital. Barbie Davis is a famous ballet dancer and is now on vacation in Coolville. She is a happy old maid. Carol Gillian is now head coach of a girls' basketball team. Her latest game was at Madison Square Garden in New York. Ray Hall, Hockingport's old bachelor, is making his living by piloting an airplane. Norma Ice has gone to the West where she and her husband tend thousands of sheep. Maynard Clark and Therman Deeter operate a huge machine shop in New Jersey. Jo Cogar has finally achieved her goal as an artist. Her paintings are known the world over. Bascil Wines, our class joker is now taking the place of Jack Benny. His programs are heard three nights a week. Mickey Crawford is ---- but the rest of the page is gone so we will have to wonder as to her fate. IN MEMORIAM a member of Edward McG1one Class of'1950 ll
