They bud, become blooms, begin to die, and finally drift away. Often the fondest memories of our school days pass away, to be replaced by the events of the present. It is to preserve these memories that the yearbook is created. A certain joke, a classic football game, a favorite friend or an old sweetheart is recalled by the turning of a page—we invite you, whose interest and memories lie engraved upon these pages, to accompany the “Little Giant” through school activities, to follow his tracks across the gridiron, to call meetings to order, and to recall once more with him the Laughter and the Good Times cherished within the walls of Waynesboro High School. FACULTY CLASSES ACTIVITIES ATHLETICS ADVERTISEMENTS “THE TEACHER” % L ;Dedication As the Senior Class strides from the final pages of these four golden years, might we carry reminiscences of one Spiriting Per¬ sonality, so entangled among us from the beginning to the loftiest peak of our high school career. The universe does not recognize every deed with merit, but it seeks no alternative for someone in whose wake falls kindliness, virtue, enlightenment, guidance, unfailing friendship, and a beaming atmosphere. To Miss Elizabeth Squires, over whom our separate lives may fearlessly be modeled, we, the Senior Class of the Year Nineteen Hundred Forty-Eight, do dedicate this volume. barren larger Memorial 3tvuard for (5ood Citizenship Emmet Warren Barger, Jr. To be awarded, to a senior each year who has made the most outstanding progress in scholastic ability , dependability , and in overcoming handicaps; one who has a spirit of co¬ operation and consideration for others , who takes care of property and shows civic interest in his high school. This senior must have good moral character , must be industrious and honest. This fund was placed in trust by Mr. and Mrs. Emmet Warren Barger, of this community, in honor of their heroic son, Warren, Jr., who gave his life for his country while in the service of the Army Air Corps during World War II. Warren was graduated from Waynesboro High School in 1941. rt ' 2 T A T % e % Mr. F. Berkley Glenn Superintendent of Schools Waynesboro High School is justly proud to have as its administrative head, Mr. F. B. Glenn. His cordial manner and keen understanding of our problems are characteristic of the friendly spirit which prevails at Waynesboro High School. Mr. Glenn received his A. B. degree at William and Mary and his M. S. degree at the University of Tennessee. Mr. M. Howard Bryant Assistant Principal Mr. Bryant walked through the doors of this institution last fall as a newcomer to Virginia. No longer is Mr. Bryant a stranger. We know him now by his warm smile and his easy stride. We thank him for his helpful advice concerning so many of our problems, and for his invaluable efforts with the Diversified Occupations Depart¬ ment. Mr. Bryant received his B. S. degree at the University of Alabama and did graduate work at the University of Virginia.

History Nellie Wright Director of Instruction ' Doings Mound Waynesboro High 1945 1946 mr SENIORS History c- s st e In 1944, we, the graduating class of this year, made our debut into high school life. Some of us threatened to knock every Junior’s block off, while the “other half” were poor, timid, unglamourized little souls. That awk¬ wardness disappeared fast and we wanted to get right into the limelight; we naturally thought first of sports. The long list of clubs swept our heads into a spin! We joined the Junior Red Cross, Annual Staff, Student Council, Choral Club and Freshman Dramatic Club, which presented “My First Date.” September, 1945—That fall we thought that we were really onto the hang of things until the “upperclass¬ men” called us “Silly Sophomores.” We were not to be outdone. Both boys and girls eagerly went out for ath¬ letics. This year the “Little Giants” made sports history by winning the “B” State Championship. The Spanish Club initiated several of our sophomores into their midst, and our brainy Latin students organized a new Latin Club. Weren’t we eager beavers? And suddenly our Junior year loomed up before our eyes. September, 1946—Here we were—“ Strutting Upperclassmen.” Our fine principal, Mr. Robert C. Jennings, accepted a position elsewhere; we missed him, but our fondness grew rapidly for Air. F. Berkley Glenn, who strengthened the third and fourth stanzas of our high school life. We took part in the Senior Variety Show, the Boys’ Fashion Show and the Home Economics Fashion Show. The Girls’ and Boys’ “ W” Clubs were open to us. We worked with the Gold and Purple , the school news¬ paper. The Junior-Senior Prom of 1947 was one of the most elaborate jobs ever put over! (At least we thought so.) September, 1947—“We’re Seniors now! Do you hear? ? ?! ! !” This is our last year in high school, we all hope. We have much to look back on. Four years of fun and friends that will linger as memories through the rest of our lives. This year to head the Senior Class, we chose as President, Bill Maney; Vice President, “Bunny” Ricks, and Secretary-Treasurer, Helen Kinser. The school seemed to flourish during this noble year of ’47-’48. An Honor Code was established, a drivers’ training course was set up, and a Distributors Club, National Beta Club, and the Future Homemakers of America Club were formed. Our athletics turned in an average season. We owe a lot to our teachers who have taught and guided us during these past years—our teachers who have prepared us for the future. r 101 ■i oJmjx ft William H. Ball Work first, then rest. Donald L.

Where are you?” “ Be patient, daughter, you’ll have a long time up here; I’ve been waiting for you.” “But how did you know that I was coming now?” “Well . . . you always drove a little recklessly and ...” “Oh! . . . well, since I’m here, where do I go?” “Well, it will be quite a while before you are given your duties. Is there anything in particular you would like to do meanwhile?” “Could I ... I mean would it be all right for me to go down to earth for just one more day to see my old friends?” “That’s what they all want, but I’m afraid we can ' t let you go. However, if you would like to look down on earth and see what your friends are doing, you may. Have you any particular one in mind?” “Well, Mr. Jordan, do you think you could show me some of the kids I went to school with? How about my senior class ? ” “Let’s see ... I believe you graduated ten years ago in 1948, didn’t you?” “Yes, and a lot has happened since then. I haven ' t seen some of my old friends for years.” “All right ... I know where most of them are, so if you are ready, we’ll go.” “Stop, Mr. Jordan. I think I see some one I know. Oh, yes, it’s Milnes Austin. Looks like he is the manager of the ‘U-Slip-Up’ Banana Plantation and seems to be in his seventh heaven.” “I wonder if Nina McGann still owns the Wayne Beauty Salon . . . yes, there she is and Joyce Cooke and Helen Louise Anderson are her chief operators.” “Donald Beverage, you remember him, is tourist guide in New York, using up all the energy he saved during those expressionless days at W. H. S.” “Remember ‘Miss Fishburne of ’47’? Well, Joan Hanger has just been crowned ‘Miss Canada of ’58.’ Due to Ronny’s influence, of course.” “Look, there’s where I worked one summer. Wonder how Wayne Brockenbrough, now graduated from W. L., is making out as editor of the Waynesboro News-Virginian? I see that Marianne Shumate is society editor for this great publication.” “One of my messengers reported the other day that Jean Birdsong was working with the F. B. I. So she is; she seems to be in charge of Detective Tomes, who has so much trouble keeping himself out of trouble down on earth.” “Peggy Lamb and Fred have been happily married for seven years now. As proof of their happiness, their home is filled with the patter of little feet. Now that we are on the scene, I see their next door neighbors are Betty McCambridge and ‘Dee.’ Seems Betty and Peggy still have their old partnership, even if it has enlarged.” “ By the way, Pickford Kennedy is principal of W. H. S. That’s where you went to school, isn’t it?” “Yes, I wonder if he ever learned to stand for the school song?” “And there is ‘Spider’ Wright; didn’t you know him? He is a star of the ‘Thin-Man’ movies. He wasn’t satis¬ fied to be just a basketball hero, as in his high school ‘daze’.” “What happened to all the kids that left Waynesboro?” “Well, now let’s see if I can remember . . . Mary Lee Stinespring has gone back to Florida, to see all the alligators. They have boys there, too, they say.” “And Janice Sandridge has gone back to Crozet to look after all the boys she talked about at W. H. S.” “Babe Hintze was in your class, too, wasn’t she? She is now head of the Navy Nurses. She just loves to look after all those ‘Blue Jackets’.” • “I don’t have to ask what happened to Phil Buchanan. He’s the band leader who started ’way back in his high school days as maestro and has just completed a success¬ ful season at the Waldorf-Astoria. It’s no longer ‘Swing and sway with Sammy Kaye’ but ‘Dance and thrill with Maestro Phil.’ Oh! by the way, you know Phil’s newest discovery, Macon Brown, don’t you? He’s the crooner who wears a bow-tie and sings so completely like Vaughn Monroe that people of the older generation are apt to forget that ‘Frankie’ and Vaughn ever existed.” “I’m so glad to see that Tessis Neofitis finally got back to Brooklyn. She is head cheerleader for the Dodgers and now she can yell for them to her heart’s delight. George Baker, also with the Dodgers, has been promoted from bat boy to official home plate duster.” “What is Arthur Hodge doing down there in the Ringling Brothers Circus?” “He is developing the voice he failed to develop at W. H. S. by being a barker at the circus.” “Well, Ann Taylor has stopped working at Courtney’s Food Center, and her position has been filled by another of Mr. Brondoli’s D. E. students.” “From what I hear, things in Washington, D. C., are still humming. Her Honor, Jackie Quesenbery is the first woman judge in the U. S. Supreme Court. I see she’s not only controlling the nation but her temper as well.” “I heard before I left that Ed Haney had retired as head of the Haney Drug Stores. I guess Margaret Wool- ford, his favorite soda jerk, has been giving him too many banana splits and sundaes. I see that Dorothy Bryant has taken Ed’s place as manager.” “Ann Greaver’s dream of Fil and that Radford apart¬ ment came true. As they say, ‘All things come to those who wait.’ ” “I see Walter Thompson still has his curly hair, even if he did have to open his own beauty shoppe.” “There’s Janet Altice. I thought she had an offer to star in the new ballet, ‘Up, Up and Away,’ for Pro¬ ducer Jack Fisher.” “She did, but she didn’t want her marriage ruined by a career. It’s a pity, too . . . her co-star would have been Bill Maney.” “Oh! he is the new dancing sensation who kept all his dancing talents so well hidden in his high school days, isn’t he?” “What is Gene Baber doing?” “He has just made his second ‘journey’ into Waynes¬ boro from the backwoods with his wife, Doris. They buy food twice a year because they have just discovered that they can’t live on love all the time.” “Don’t tell me that’s Ruby Arnold, still dating under¬ classmen. At last she has finally graduated from W. H. S. and is going to the University of Virginia where there are under ‘glass’ men, too.” “What has become of Ralph Wagner since I saw him last?” “He now owns the major share in the ‘Aldridge- Wagner Baby-Sitters, Inc.’ ” “I see the sign on the door says: ‘Leonard Aldridge, general manager, and Leroy Turner, business manager’.” “I see that Peggy Moyer has a partnership with Russell Coffey in ‘Bars’. They have just remodeled their establishment.” “As for Diane Ricks and Eddie, they finally got married and are sending their children to Ruth Maier’s kindergarten, who makes sure they get the proper train¬ ing on how to govern the student body at W. H. S.” “From what I can see, Mary Pratt still wears beautiful clothes. She designs them at her shop in Paris. There’s Irma Fitzpatrick working with Mary. She must be in charge of the advertising department.” “Well, well . . . what do you know? There’s Robert Pleasants combining business with pleasure . . .” “Yes, he now has his own pool hall, which he has successfully operated for eight years.” “Flora Larsen has stopped singing ‘Put That Ring on My Finger,’ after four years. She’s now married and has a daily column, ‘Advice to the Lovelorn,’ in the (Continued on page 60) Last Will and Testament of the SENIOR CLASS OF WAYNESBORO HIGH SCHOOL Filed: June 7, 1948 State of Virginia County of Augusta Waynesboro, Virginia We, the 1948 Senior Class of Waynesboro High School, of the City of Waynesboro, County of Augusta and State of Virginia being of sound mind and memory do hereby make, publish and declare this to be our last will and testament, hereby revoking any will or wills made by us heretofore.

WITNESS TESTOR Janice Steele Members of the Senior Class Babe Hintze Helen Kinser Marianne Shumate Unexpected Moments [22] JUNIORS junior Class One bright morning early in September, 1945, one hundred seventy-seven little Freshmen “greenhorns” entered W. H. S. for the first time as students. At first we were pretty bewildered but soon things began to straighten out for us. We elected class officers with Margaret Armentrout, president; “Pinkie” Wade, vice president, and Mil Maney as secretary-treasurer. That year, three new organizations were formed. These were the Latin Club, Spanish Club and Girls’ “W” Club. In each of these organizations, as well as the Social Com¬ mittee, Student Council, Red Cross, Choral Club, Cheerleaders, Boys’ “W” Club and Annual Staff, we were well represented. When school time rolled around again in September, 1946, there was the same group making its way toward the big, red brick building. There were less of us, to be sure, but those that did appear were more sure of our¬ selves. We didn’t get lost, and weren’t as scared of those privileged “ upperclassmen.” We elected Margaret Little as our class president, Tommy Gutherie as vice president, and Bill Shorter as secretary-treasurer. A band was organized and a good newspaper staff put out the Gold and Purple, the first newspaper put out in the school for at least ten years. Hockey was also introduced to our girls for the first time. This year we are “Jolly Juniors.” What a wonderful feeling it gives us, for at last we are “upperclassmen,” and the seniors are well under hand! ! We have chosen Bill Smith for our class president, with Tommy Hassard as vice president, and Richard Lotts as secretary-treasurer. The Beta Club, F. H. A. and D. E. Clubs have been formed and we have members of our class in each of these as well as those mentioned previously. We have spon¬ sored a Junior Variety Show and have given the Junior-Senior Prom, both of which were a lot of fun. Of course, all through our high school days we have been firm supporters of our football and basketball teams, but this year has proved best of all for the fellows and girls out there are often our best friends and members of the Junior Class. These three years at W. H. S. have been wonderful ones, ones we’ll never forget. It seems almost impos¬ sible that our high school careers are so nearly ended, but we’re looking eagerly forward to next year, the year when we will be “Mighty Seniors”! !

Our freshman year was filled with teasing from the upperclassmen who really made us feel “freshman green.” Yet we felt welcome, for we successfully led and participated in sports and other activities. Our class officers were: Presi¬ dent, Mary Moore; Vice President, Charlotte Hicks, and Secretary-Treasurer, Joe Anne Sweet. As freshmen it was hard to get used to the lockers, that never opened at the right time, and those never-ending steps that faced us every time we went to our classes. Those are lost feelings now, for the lockers, books, school dances, hot dogs and cokes and yelling our lungs out at football games are all a part of the Sopho¬ more life. As a serious part of our Sophomore life we chose class officers. This year Joe Anne Sweet was ele cted president, Eddie Myrtle as vice president, and Ray Quillen as secretary-treasurer. We proudly carry on as Sophomores, as we look to the future when we will be Juniors. [30] Sophomores Janet Arnold Jimmy Austin Hugh Batton J. D.

We battled the students for representation fees, we battled advertisers for money, and we pestered boosters with the reminders of “Are you going to donate, sir?” Under directions of our editor, Juanita Dobbs, and the deft hands of our business manager, Ruth Lucas, our yearbook went to press. We waited, wondered and walked the floors with anticipation. Then came the great event! The 1948 Skyline, signed, sealed and delivered to you. [ 42 ] Student Council Ruth Maier ....

The council maintains and strengthens the democratic relationship between the student body and faculty and provides freedom in individual and group action as long as this action contributes to the welfare of the school. Drawing up and putting into effect the Honor System, with its Honor Code, has been one of the outstanding projects for the year. This represents one step forward in student self-government. [ 43 ] Qold and Purple The publications class of W. H. S. consisting of twenty students, met one November day in Room 102 to have our pictures taken for the 1948 Skyline parade. As we stood there, looking back into the past, we realized that with the faithful help of our sponsor, Mrs. Trimble, we each had a part in publishing a school paper to boast of. Among deadlines, by-lines, ears, headlines, dummies and galley proofs, we managed to find fun and,fancy free, every minute was pleasant while serving the students of W. H.

The purpose of the Social Committee is to approve or sponsor all socials of Waynesboro High School. This school year the Social Committee sponsored the Christmas Dance and strived to make it one of the nicest dances held at Waynesboro High School. The Social Committee started Friday Night dances after basketball games. This is for the purpose of encouraging freshmen and sophomores to learn to dance and enjoy it. The Social Committee sponsors all annual dances that are not sponsored by another club or organization. [ 45 ] !

The Club’s aim is to encourage deeper interest in the uses of Latin, and to help its members ap¬ preciate more fully the value and contributions of Latin both to past and present-day civilization. Some of the activities which the Club has sponsored are: An ice cream booth at the May Day Festival in ’47, a one-act comedy, “ Vita Pura ” meaning “A Hard Life,” in December, and a dance during February in the Wilson Gym. The Club’s motto is u Non Ipse Sed Omnibus,” meaning “Not for self but for all.” The flower of the Club is the white rose. The Latin colors are purple and white. i [46 j Beta Club The first chapter of the National Beta Club to be organized at Waynesboro High School was formed in January by those students approved by the faculty.

It is neither a secret nor a profiting organization. The requirements for joining are a “B” average during the first two years in high school or for a senior a “B” average for the first three years, a good mentality and character, and a commendable attitude. The faculty, principal and sponsors must approve each student before he is eligible to join.

These girls are invited to join the “W” Club and become full-fledged members after initiation. Among some of the activities that the “W” Club participates in are the following: A House Party was given in June, ’47, a Leap Year dance in the spring. “W” Club girls ushered and gave out programs for football games. ’47 “W” Club pins can be bought by members. The pin is a gold “W” and purple circle. Helps to enforce the rule of no one wearing a “W” who has not earned it. The “W” Club is one of the most active in Waynesboro High School. It has grown from a very small organization of four girls in 1945 to a group of 25. The officers for ’47 ’48 are as follows: Lois Furr, president; Barbara Heat- wole, vice president; Bunnie Dean Ricks, secretary, and Binnie Chew, treasurer.

Dedrick Varsity Jootball “It is not who won the game that counts, it is how the game was played.” These immortal words of Frank Leahy, coach of Notre Dame’s ’47 football team could well be used to represent Waynes¬ boro’s ’47 football squad. Our team of ’47 had a rather bad record in the won and lost column. This is due to the fact that the boys were young and inexperienced. Most of the team were sophomores and juniors, with only four seniors contributing experience to the team. Next year’s team should be a well-grounded team as most of the letter men are returning. The “Little Giants” this year had a season’s record of eight losses and one win. This may sound pretty bad but if you saw the games you will realize it wasn’t too bad. From the sound of the first whistle to the end of the game each member of the team played as hard as he could. Not one of the players ever gave up. They always showed fighting spirit if the odds were against them as it was in every case. Thus ended the football season with a team lacking in experience but one that had a lot of fighting spirit. I 54] Varsity Hockey Here we see Waynesboro High School’s 1947 Hockey team posing proudly before the camera; the Varsity having gone through the year undefeated due to each and every player’s hard work and the careful coaching of their coach, Lois Hester. Their first two games were with Fairfax Hall, and having defeated them 5—3 and 4—3, they again emerged victorious by defeating Harrisonburg 7—1. The Junior Varsity didn’t go through the season undefeated, but played each game every bit as hard as the Varsity. Anyway, defeated or undefeated, both Varsity and Junior Varsity give that good ole word “TEAMWORK” its due credit for having had such a good season, and they are all hoping for an even better season next year. More games, more players, etc. They ended their season by defeating Harrisonburg, and then stepped aside, hoping the next sport in line (none other than basketball) would have as victorious a season. [55] (I) ( 2 ) (3) (4) (5) ( 6 ) (7) ( 8 ) (9) Boys’ Varsity Basketball Milnes Austin —A returning letter man from the State Champions of ' 46, was one of the mainstays of the 1947 aggression, holding down forward and center shots in the best of form. Massie Wright —A returning letter man from ' 47, teamed with Bill Sm ith to make an aggressive and very capable pair of flashy guards for the “ Little Giants.” Bill Smith —Also a returning letter man from ’47, exhibited a fine brand of ball for the “ Little Giants.” His floor play was a stalwart in winning many games for the “Giants.” Paul Dorsett —The only returning regular from last year ' s squad. Paul gave his best in every game and sparked the “Little Giants” to many of its victories. He was one of last year ' s best ball players. Bill Maney— A senior, is one of Jimmie Leitch ' s steadiest and most reliable ball players, also one of the “ Giants ' ” high-scoring forwards. Bill is a returning letter man from 1947. Macon Brown —A six-foot, three-inch center, has shown up very fine on his rebounding and play under the basket. He also played off when the chips were down. Richard Lotts —Playing his first season of Varsity ball, showed up very well in his all-around play. Waynesboro High School will see plenty of him in the future years. Coach Jimmie Leitch —Coach has helped every member improve either in his shooting or ball-handling. Coach, a wonderful person, has helped the mighty “Little Giants” in both winning and losing a game like a man. His sportsmanship and loyalty for his team has im¬ pressed many. Donnie Austin —Also is playing his first year of Varsity ball. His ball handling and shooting should bring him fame and glory in his future years at W. H. S. Jack Fisher —Outstanding star for the “ Little Giants” has contributed much to the local team. His spirit and sportsmanship has shown much in the last few years. Jack has played Varsity in the last three years. His ability in basketball has improved many basketball members. (10) William Folkes —A tall, lanky, center will also leave us this year. His excellent ball handling has helped the “Little Giants” tremendously. William won ' t be back next year and we will sure miss his shooting eye.

The “B” Squad showed considerable progress as the season advanced. The greater percentage of these boys will be returning for two or more years, for this reason they should be a great asset to the future Varsity of W. H. S.

Basketball! Going to the press!” This was the familiar yell we heard during our season. Many times the familiar “oh’s” and “oo’s” reached our ears from the spectators if Moyer wouldn’t shoot or when Steele wouldn’t get to play. “That’s the way to fight, Elly,” or “Nice jumping, Navajo,” were others. Without substitutes the “Little Amazons” couldn’t even have had a team. Everyone that plays basketball is aware of this fact, so our hat’s off to the bench warmers of ’47. Every “Little Amazon” gives due credit to Coach Lois Hester. Her spirit and leadership has made us not only good basketball stars, but has helped us toward sportsmanship, one of the greatest qualities in existence. From her, we have learned this, “They will not ask if you won or lost, but how you played the game.” Three cheers from our “Little Amazons” to a wonderful coach. Here’s the information on scores for the first six games. The Varsity completed its season with one win and five losses.

As th e teams go charging up the fields or running down the basketball courts, those words are the familiar cries of the hard-working Cheerleaders, who are struggling hard to keep up with the game and cheer all at the same time. All dressed in white; skirts or trousers, heavy sweaters and saddles and, of course, those two flashy purple “W’s” that two members of the squad have already received, our ten Cheerleaders make a right nice sight. In order to receive a letter in Cheerleading, you must cheer for two years which includes attending all games, both boys’ and girls’, and all practices. Two years seems a right long time for one letter but it’s not the letter so much that counts, it’s the honor and pride that goes along with it in being a Cheerleader for good ole Waynesboro High School. [59] Senior Prophecy-Continued Salt Lake Tribune; since she learned it all herself . . . the hard way.” “When I was driving through my old home-town just before I came up here, I saw Leo Cloutier waiting at the bottom of Thirteenth Street Hill. He told me he does that during all the winter months and carries all sizes of extra false teeth . . . just in case.” “Don’t tell me that’s Bobby Cohn? Settled down? You mean she’s stopped throwing those wild parties? What’s she doing in that office?” “Why she’s made a name for herself as National Director of ‘Schools of Juvenile Delinquency’.” “Let’s see Candy Dobbs.” “All right, although we have not much time. She has landed back in Gadsden, Alabama. You ask what she is doing? Why raving about Waynesboro, of course.” “Is that Janet Knicely I see in France?” “Yes, she is enjoying her winters on the Riviera now. In her Foreign Service work she met a handsome French¬ man and settled down.” “Betty Lou Powell is a big wheel in Washington, D. C. I see she is bossing fifty men and seems to be in Heaven.” “There’s Frances Campbell. She used to date all the F. M. S. cadets in her high school days.” “I see she’s still at Fishburne, but now with the instructors.” “Phil Brooks is the new commandant at F. M. S. He has just been talking to his coach about changing football training rules.” “What has happened to William Ball? I remember that when he was in high school, he was always reading.” “Well, after he read all the books there were, he decided to write his own. His latest publication is ‘The Advancements of Geologists Since 20 B. C.’ ” “Well, well, Shirley Larsen, after two and one-half years of college, found the right man and settled down. I wonder if, after all these years, she will admit that is what she went to college for?” “Gene Garst has almost forgotten her old man-hunting days and has taken up a musical career. She just made her debut at Carnegie Hall.” “I guess Lois Furr is in Heaven . . . well, almost; I see she owns a horse ranch in Arizona. I guess she is training horses, isn’t she, Mr. Jordan?” “Yes, she is . . . Cullen’s horses!” “Douglas Hunte is the proud owner of the ‘Hunte Pontiac Sales Company,’ of Charlottesville. Paul Alma- rode hopes to become a partner of this company soon.” “Is that Helen Marie Anderson down there in Kentucky?” “Yes, it is and her husband is entering all fifty of his horses in the Derby this year; isn’t that grand?” “There is Frances Quick, too. She is still working at Memorial Hospital. I see that Mary Louise Harry is still the chief nurse, too.” “Well, well. What do you know . . . there is my old high school. Is that Jo Ann Canada?” “Yes, she is teaching Physical Education there. By the way . . . Shirley Johnson is also teaching there. I be¬ lieve she took Mrs. Snyder’s place as history teacher.” “Speaking of teachers . . . Douglas Matheny is mathematics and physics professor at William and Mary. Mrs. Davies’ training must have really been swell.” “That’s Helen Kinser down there, in a bathing suit, as usual. She has been modeling them for the last ten years. Her boss is the wonderful ‘Tricky’ Folks, who always had such an eye for beautiful women.” “Wonder what ever happened to some of the couples who were ‘steadies’ in high school?” “Well, Binny Chew and Johnny finally decided to stop running back and forth between Waynesboro and Durham, North Carolina and settled down in one place . . . together.” “I don’t think I saw Ruth Lucas for quite a while before I came up here,” “Oh, she’s so tired of going to the country every week¬ end, she has decided to stay there permanently with her cute little husband.” “Did Bob Moore ever get on the radio as he wanted to?” “Well, I guess you might call it that. He has just taken over the ‘Name-It-and-Claim-It’ Show on WTON. He announces, sings with the records and tells the people ‘No, it isn’t Perry Como on the vocal’.” “Could that possibly be Hazel Fleeman posing for that lipstick advertisement?” “Yes, she’s changed a lot, however; she and Harold are married and living in Kansas.” “And Betty L. Dumas has just spent ten happy years in Texas, raising horses and a family.” “I remember reading about Fran Quillen and Bunnie Ricks on their many trips around the world. Where are they now, Mr. Jordan?” “I believe they found North Carolina the best place after all and decided to stay there.” “Down there is Lemuel Irvin; just returned from England where he was taking pictures of Sir Powell Foster, now head of Scotland Yards.” “There is that girl with the wonderful personality, Dot Davis. She’s still going to Mary Washington College, because Daley is still at Hampden-Sydney.” “Wonder where my old buddy, Paul, is?” “Why now he is Dr. Paul Dorsett, the newest dentist in town. He is really building up his profession the easy way; he just made his wife, the former Miss Sally Ellis, her second set of uppers the other day. They have divorced and remarried twice—which goes to show true love never runs smoothly.” “Why, there’s Elly Saunders!” “What on earth would she be doing in New York with her Southern drawl?” “Didn’t you know she has been head of a prominent Northern school that teaches speech and walking poise for ten years?” “Did you stop by Howard Fitzgerald’s new work-out gym in Chicago when you were on earth?” “Yes, he gives muscle-building courses in ten easy lessons. He was chosen ‘Mr. America’ last year in New York.” “I remember Janice Steele wanted to be an interior decorator. What ever became of her?” “Just a minute and I’ll let you see. Ah . . . there she is busily working in Miller and Rhoads in the decorat¬ ing department.” “Yes, I heard her latest job was to decorate her own home, where Bob tries so hard to keep up the pretense of being ‘Head of the House’.” “Did you know that ‘Cue-Ball’ Coffey is now a sensation in Western serials? He is having a hard time keeping up with Raymond Parnell, the singing cowboy, though.” “It looks as if Rose Marie Saunders and Delores Yancey are running stiff competition, being managers, of Leggett’s and White’s, respectively.” “Lewis Craig decided that trying to grow taller was impossible—he just wore out the last pair of the one gross of Elevator shoes that he bought five years ago.” “Edith Atkinson never found anything exciting at W. H. S., did she?” “No, so she decided to join the WAVES.” “Where is . . .” “I’m sorry, time is up, we’ll have to go back now . . “Just one last thing; could I see the old Bowling Alley where all the kids used to go? . . “I’m afraid you’ll find it changed too much since there’s no one there that you know now.
