It is written that the school room called a member of the Class of 1929, and Mary Butler responded. She has rendered a great service to Charleston High School by being its efficient teacher of the first grade. As I read further it is written that Louise Reynolds has become one of the world's famous poets. Although Shakespeare is classed as best among English and Milton second, Louise has third place. There is no doubt in the minds of the people for deter- mining third place. The financial world has need of trained men. Behold! James Hiers president of First National Bank, Columbia, S. C. Carl Still is Vice President and Rendell Linder as cashier. Again, I read of the success of another of your pupils. Your former classmate, Jean Wichman as a world famous artist. She has painted many masterpieces. One of which is ' The Voice of The Imps. Reading further I find that a great center has been centered in St. Louis, Gladys Linder is the great designer; she is now designing a gown for the world-famous soprano, Ella Mae Beach, who is to appear in concert soon. Eulalie Guess is a great toe dancer. She entertains the whole world with her dancing. She is just leaving the theatre. As I unroll further I see another great actress. But this time it is a member of Zeigfield’s Follies. Edith Price is one of the most beautiful women in America. She has a profile fit fot a queen. H read further that Irvin Thomas is a millionaire. He has all that a heart can desire, except a wife. Nevertheless, he is a happy old bachelor and has kept away frdm women. Kafter Godwin and Eula Lee Hudson have become partners in a great beauty culture establishment. They like their business fine. Kafter is now giving Eula Lee a treatment for the hair. Can this be true? Listen! The all-American Football team has just become the proud owner of a new captain. That captain is James Ward! The greatest football player known! Another one of your classmates has achieved a great success—Charles Marvin, the great architect. His plans for the construction of a great tower have been proclaimed perfect! Mary Lena Gilliland is in Australia. She is working for the interest of the women there. Soon they will have a part in the government. Mary Lena is doing a great work. Reading further I find that Inez Glover is teaching a new and interesting course in music. As I read further it is written that America has another great baseball fan —a second Babe Ruth. See Clarence Thomas. We see Alvin Skardon as one of South Carolina’s greatest statesmen. As I read further it is written that the most perfect formed bathing beauty in South Carolina is Ruth Frank. And, last, I read that your classmate, Helen Beach, is still single. She is a typical old maid with corkscrew curls. She still pulls daisy petals and repeats, He loves me; he loves me not; he loves me, etc.” Her pastimes are knitting and trying to catch her a husband. She has been successful in the first. But no advancement has ever been made in the latter. 19

world by alleviating suffering. Behold! Edward Ackerman, a world-famous baby doctor. The doctor needs the nurse5 s help. It is written that Elizabeth Boynton has given her life to waiting on the sick. It is written as I unroll further that bill-boards, sign-posts and newspapers are filled with advertising matter about the world's most famous (guitarist). Hear him in concert —behold! Cecil Durham. The guitarist needs an accompanist, Frances Fishburne your wonderful high school musician, plays the accompaniments for Cecil Durham. Not only does she play for Cecil, but plays for big theatres. Margaret Easterlin is a great nerve doctor. She is doing one of the greatest works known. I see that it is written in 1950 that one of your classmates is to be the national com- missioner of Boy Scouts of America, t see Pete Crosby as he works with this, the greatest organization for boys. As I read further it is written that in the Hull House of Chicago a new worker is found. Edith Linder is noted for her kindness to the poor in the slums. She is truly a second Jane Adams. The new Editor of the News and Courier has been appointed for South Carolina’s greatest daily newspaper. See Isadore Bogoslow, January 1, 1944. The business world has called several of your classmates—Willie Mae Hudson and Helene Rivers are stenographers, secretaries and bookkeepers. Since man cannot live without eating we find Jessie Blocker a tea room manager. It is further written that one of your classmates could not avoid Cupid’s arrow. Eudelle Bowen is a bride. The girls of your class seem to be taking part in business readily. For Miss Edith Carter has just been elected senator for South Carolina; Miss Eliza Sloman is congress- woman for her district. Unrolling further I read that Miss Pernelle Hiott is Demonstration agent for Colleton county. She is doing a very successful work. Can this be real ? Your classmate, Pearl Cohen, is a teacher of psychology in Colum- bia University, Business does not seem to hold all of the young ladies, though, for Leona Mixon is cooking three meals a day for a very delighted husband; he is very proud of her, for her ability in cooking is known to everyone. It is written further that Haskell Padgett is a great scientist. Dorothy Stroman has not forgotten the worth of a smile. She is the owner of one of the widest known hospitals in Russia. The peace treaty of war has just been signed and there are those who have to be ministered, unro. Her encouraging smile has saved many. A heart of gold; A treasure smile; Belongs to the woman With a purpose worthwhile. Robert Breeland is the owner of a large chewing gum factory. Miss Gladys Tuten is the stenographer, Helen Jacobs is a great composer of music. Her latest piece is ''Winged Horses.” Italy has proclaimed her the greatest of muscians. A happy home is that of Uldean Kinsey's. She knows what real happiness is. Her two children are the pride, light and life of her. 18
