West Fulton High School - Wefuhian Yearbook (Atlanta, GA)

My valet, Ray White, and I decide a little skiiiag is in order. Reaching Yosemite National Park, we are shocked to find Robert Vaughn giving instructions to Hoyle Deal and Charles Coursey. Taking up ice skating instead, we meet those two man hunters, Mary Helen Keheley and Margie Wigley. Our vacation is interrupted by the news that Dr. Jack Ivy has just buried his twentieth patient, Constance Martin. Other victims include Lloyd Melton, Mildred Davis and Frances Allen. At the same hospital we find brother Gene Ivy sweeping the halls and Connie Black nursing. In San Francisco, I find Robert Lowry and Norman Turnipseed working in the post oHice. Charles Soyez, H. R. Hawkins and Bob Wallace are discovered in the San Francisco jail Qfor vagrancyj, and I learn that Harry Alexander and Leonyx Baker have joined the navy. On a hot tip from Agnes Williams, who is still the world's fastest talker, we rake off for the mysterious land of Bungo-Bungo. There we find many West Fultoners. Bernard Sullivan sleeps to his heart's content and the two woman haters, Cecil Harrelson and Dennis Barrett, spend their time prospecting for gold. Those two eminent, if wacky, scientists, Edmund Allen and Horace Sewell, may be seen on any very cloudy day taking pictures of the sun. Working in a patent medicine show, I find Bettie Jane Miles, Virginia McDonald and June Hicks. Out in front selling junk is James Turnipseed. Among those in Bungo-Bungo who are happily married are: Frances Gilman, Betty Bonds, Marion Crawford, Virginia Searcy and Marie Sargent. Among those unhappily married are: Ed Walker and Virlyn Martin. Sara McCutcheon and Melvie Yeager teach Sunday School now. Ruth Walker, Jackie Wilson and Doris Smith are beauty parlor operators. At the high school, James West is a star pupil, and Geraldine McGinnis and Lola Mae LeCroy work in the local ten-cent store. I find Lois Craig and Geraldine Oden working as wait- resses in a cafe. Leaving Bungo-Bungo, we rocket back to Atlanta for a final check-up to find those We missed. Colleen Buchanan is working for a newspaper and still hates all men. Edna Rowland, a famous aviatrix, has just spanned the Atlantic. Dorothy Lewis is teaching French as a private tutor, and Mary Kate Thomason is helping Myrtice Wright and Alice Campbell run a day nursery. After visiting the nursery, I learn that Doris Lane and Margaret Elliott are still demon typists-out after the hearts of their respective bosses. Louise Allen, Kathryn Donaldson and Lorene Wilson are found to be working for Frances Blalock, who runs a candy factory. In a brief visit to Florida, I find Carolyn Queen, Martha Hall and Mildred Price engaging in motor boat racing. They inform me that Charlotte Reeves, Lillian Futrelle and Thelma Luther are in vaudeville, and that a magician nightly saws Catherine Dodgen in half, only to restore her to normal condition. Latrelle Black, Vivian Cox, Christine Wooten and Mildred Aiken, those domestic girls, are now happily married. Nearing the end of my quest, I have no success in running down Berenice Hayes, now a high-stepping society gal-so I pass that job off to you. Bois ROBINSON.

SEIIIUR H..HSS PRUPHEEU It is the year 1960. I find myself weary from paying income taxes. Having made my fortune building Robinson's Rocketshipsf' I give Hubert Yeager, my plant foreman, the business and have my chauffeur, Jack McBride, drive me home. On the way I stop to get my hair cut-it is almost an inch long. Bronson Busby, also an old classmate, is the barber and Buster Puckett shines shoes. Arriving home, I decide that being coopcd up in a one hundred room mansion is not the life, so I order my ever faithful valet, Ray White, to shine all my shoes and to pack up for a globe-trotting jaunt. I resolve to find all the members of the class of ,41 from dear old W. F. H. S. and see how life has treated them. Arriving at the airport, Ray White and I board my private rocket-plane after tele- phoning instructions to Calhoun Long and Annie Laurie Cole, my butler and cook, to see that Jack Hogg cuts the grass on schedule. The airport manager, Claude Davis, bids us good-by and I order chief pilot Billy Walraven to take off for points north. Passing the time of day with the stewardesses, Margie Willingham and Inez Ray, I learn that Elsie Cook and Margaret Bartenfeld are playing in the follies in New York. I also am informed that Paul Palmer has flunked Chemistry at Georgia Tech again, but that Marilyn Ritchie, Ph.D., has just received the Nobel Prize for scientific achievement. Landing at Washington, I visit Billy Monckton of the Supreme Court and Evelyn Smith, chief of the Red Cross. I stop at Baltimore long enough to learn that Madeleine Rutherford is giving a concert. Losing no time in leaving, I designate Chicago as the next stop. Learning, however, that the vicious gangsters, Ralph Ireland, Hugh Morgan and-Ray Dickey, have just killed ten people there, I skip Chicago and land in Denver. There I meet Eliza- beth Park, down and out playwright, and see the world famous Shakespearian actor, Lee Blount, in Hamlet. Returning to my rocket-plane, I learn that Hoyt Redd, chief mechanic, has deserted in favor of Leatrice Sarratt who happened ?? to pass by. Selling peanuts at the airport is Charles Burgess, who still professes faith in Lord Chesterfield's conception of women. Flying on to the west coast with John McCurley as substitute mechanic, we pass over the hermit hut of Warren Gignilliat and land in Hollywood. Robert Cathcart has Hnally beaten Robert Taylor in the popularity polls, and Marilyn Hagood and Evelyn Garner are to be seen working as extras. On a street corner I meet Truman Cowart, National Boy Scout Commissioner, and Pat Butler, radio songstress. I visit Margaret Roper and Glenna Morgan, well known co-authors, whose rivalry with Sarah Spivey, also a writer, is nationally known. IO
