CLASS Charles Bowles, Jr. Pinkston Station, North Carolina June 6, 1955 Dear Miss Holder: With what pride I read of the recognition awarded to Cheat’em’s Institute of Higher splendid new honor system! As I gloatingly told my friends that “I knew the founder when,” I determined to send you that long promised letter. Since Pinkston Station is also a great center of Learning for its learning, as well as a thriving metropolis, we members of the high school faculty are always very much in- terested in new educational systems. How much methods of teaching have changed since I was at Wa tives! Miss Holder, since I have become a teacher, I begin to realize the difficulties of leading boys and girls. As we grow older, my classmates and I, we realize anew the excellent guidance and inspiration which you gave to the class of 41. We appreciate, as never before, your patience, your interest, and your understanding. I feel that you will be interested in hearing the news of my classmates. Because of the efforts of Margaret Lewis and Harry Clark and their outstanding direction in Physical Edu- cation, Pinkston Station now holds the reputation of having the best sport curriculum in North Carolina. Recently I drove to Wadesboro to see the new hospital where the well-known surgeons, Dr. Charles Allen, Jr., and Dr. James Davis, Jr., are in charge of staff. While waiting to see the doctors, I chatted with the head nurse, Nell McLaurin. She has just returned from Europe where she, with the help of Josephine Jones and Elizabeth Stanback, has re-established a Red Cross Organization. You remember Elizabeth Bennett don’t you, Miss Holder? Well, only last week while I was visiting a friend of mine in Burnsville, we attended the opening Page Seventeen Hi-Ways 1941 MASCOTS Barbara Hunt CLASS PROPHECY night of a new play, “Sparkling Blue Eyes.” You should have seen the grown-up Lena Rivers. She was marvelous! The play was written by—who do you think?—Lucy Mitchell! After the play was over, I went backstage to congratulate Elizabeth and her co- star, Arthur Surratt, and found that Holmes Gray was the electrician; Elizabeth Coleman, the make-up artist. I wonder how that many members of our class work together without Jimmy Davis to referee the ar gument ! a Although I hope you don’t need legal aid or advice, if you ever should, call on the firm of Pruette and Hickman. Either of the two brilliant lawyers, Frank “Lawyer” Pruette or Albert Hickman, will help you in your difficulties. A phone call or a letter addressed to their Deep Creek offices will receive prompt attention by one of their efficient secretaries, Frances Allen and Mabel Teale. Since I still get dizzy from high altitudes, I don’t usually travel by air; but recently I was forced to take a plane in order to attend an educational convention in St. Louis. When I became dizzy from looking out of the window, the diminutive stewardess, Johnsie Meeks, came to my rescue. I learned from talking with Johnsie that the pilot and co-pilot were none other than my old classmates, Robert “Goo-Goo” Huntley and John Lampley, and that the stewardess on the flagship of the Trans-Anson Airways, Inc., was our ee friend Dorothy Hightower. Johnsie said that Doot had lost so much weight that when she saw her for the first time in so many years she almost didn’t recog s nize her except for the red socks which she was proudly displaying to a group of friends. I was met at the airport by Ferne Huneycutt, the chairman of the en- tertainment committee of the convention. Among the teachers present at the convention was Cornelia ; % who is now teaching in Crabtree, Pa. 2
