CLASS PROPHECY Bonaire, Georgia 22 February, 1960 Dear Mrs. Mason: I was so glad to have your note and know that you are getting stronger. The “Class of 50” was enough to make Stone Mountain collapse. You really wouldn’t know Warner Robins. Merlyn Brown has built a huge new theater. Bobby Byars de- signed and built it. It is wonderful. They are having a grand opening this week-end with the world premiere of the film of Peggy Crosby’s latest book, “Sweet Six- teen.” If you read the book you'll probably believe like I do that the story is largely autobiographical. When Lindbergh Reese, who is now our local mail carrier brought your letter he also brought a copy of the Warner Robins Press. Did you know that June Cape now owns and edits the Press? She bought it last year. Helen Childs is her Society Editor, and also the “Advice to the Lovelorn,” but that is a deep, dark secret. Duncan Feeney had a whole page ad in the paper pro- motinge “Rumble Acres,” the swank new housing devel opment that he and Kenneth Davidson are backing. There are lots of gorgeous homes out there, in many of which Peggy Hunter has done the decorating, One even made House Beautiful last month. She also decorated “Castle Arms,” the new Hotel David P. Newsome owns and operates. It is very exclusive. The murals in the lobby and also the bnaquet room were painted by none other than Dot Williams. The theme of these murals is local history. The coming gubernatorial race is getting lots of space in the papers just now. Roland Kinser, our local State Senator, is running against Florence Tucker, our pres- ent governor, who has done so much for our schools. Twenty-Four So many “Class of ’50” are advertisers in the Press, H. Flanders is a loan broker. They say his income is terrific. There’s even an ad from Irvin Gentry. He has his own plane now with lots of fancy gadgets and does crop dusting all over Georgia. We're planning a party tomorrow night for Helen Ammons, that was. She and her husband are here from Ohio for a short visit. We’re going out to Lake Joy. Delawood (Spud) Jones and his band are there for a short engagement before going to Hollywood. Did you know that Billy Howard is playing the bull fiddle in his band? And Mabel Hicks is his featured singer. Her radio shows are good, so we’re anxious to see her. She has sung this spring on station WRHIX in Warner Robins. That is the station Raymond Hix owns. When I was shopping in Bobby Hill’s Super Colossal Market the other day I ran into Grace Gastineau. She’s teaching Home Ec. in WRHS and coaching the girls’ basketball team. She was buying groceries for the ban- quet they are giving the team for winning State cham- pionship. She says she always shops there because of the super quality and low prices. 3y the way, Jim Harley is now principal of the High School. He’s coaching the boys’ basketball team. They are playing in the finals for State championship to- morrow night. They should win I had a card from Sue Noland last week. She’s in Panama, where her husband is stationed. Billy Wood- ard says he heard from Arnold Thiebaud recently. He went to Oxford for graduate work and is still travelling in Europe. Billy came by to show us his new car. He’s a watermelon king now, and has the most incredible cars. This one is a red convertible, a Cadillae with leopard skin upholstery. This one was specially ordered
