Rita Mills Witnesses: Gertha Henderson James Benjamin Demice Dove Charles Staten The year is 1959 the town is San Francisco, the state is California. As I look through my High School Annual dating back to 1949 I see a photo of the football team at the front of the book. My, what a rugged looking pictureJ It looked good in those days, though. Pardon me a moment, there is someone ringing at the door. Well, well, look who ' s here, one of ray old friends and classmates, Junius Joyner, who is practicing law now in Chicago. Here comes another gang down the street. I won¬ der who it could be making all that noise. LookJ why at the head of the parade are Gilbert Taylor and Ethel George. They were two love birds in high school. I wonder how they stand now. He is a mathematicianand- she is a business woman. Well what do you know? There ' s the whole gang. Hlere comes George Baucom who in construction engineer now in New Haven, Connecticut. There are Rita Mills, Catherine Blake, Sudle Carter, Delores Godette, Bertie Dobson, Matole Hickman, end Willie Knight who are all nurses. There are Dr. Leroy Moore and Dr. James Lofton. They both have offices on 8th Avenue in New York City. A little com¬ petition, don ' t you think? I was beginning to wonder why all my classmates were beginning to turn up all of a sudden. It has Just ocoured to me that this is class reunion night, and I am supposed to be the host. So now we ' ll get on with the party and real¬ ly have some fun. There are George Woods and George Green in the corner conversing with Gartha Henderson. I guess I ' ll go over and Join the conversation. As you know they are leaders in the fields of laboratory technician, meohaniCB, and teaching, respectively. There is a little commotion over by the radio. I wonder what it is. I think I ' ll go over and see. Oh 1 what a shame, the radio is broken and there ' s not a technician in the house anywhere. There ' s someone at the door now. I ' ll wh0 it is. Why it ' s Donald Taylor, Just the person we want to see. He ' s a radio technician in Philadelphia. Maybe he can repair the radio. Now that the radio is fixed, we shall continue with the party. I nearly forerot we don ' t need the radio anymore, we have Goesle Hudson, Herbert Lofton and James George in the house. They are musicians, and by a stroke of fate, they brought their instruments along. Look ! over by the window. Why there ' re Gertrude Deans and George Hill.I didn ' t know they were here. Nevertheless, they are, and seem to be doing fine in their fields—physloal education end pharmacy. Oh I Here ' s Delores Dudley, T didn ' t thlttthat she would be here tonight. She ' s rearing a son and daugh¬ ter in Philadelphia. As you know, she ' s a housewife and a very fine one, too, I hear. Donald Wallace and Leonard Clarke are now entering the house. I read in , t week ' s paper about their prosperous business as morticians. The aocount was written by Ethel Simmons who is a newspaper reporter in Boston, Mass. Everyone is admiring the dress Helen Dove is wearing. She is a great stylist and seamstress. Clara Saunders also practices the same sort of work in Cleveland, Ohio. There is another one of my old schoolmates coming in now. It looks from here like Geraldine Harris, who is a librarian. Essie Dillahunt is with her. I hlar that Se is a stenographer for Walter Carter. How about that? They graduated from high school together in ' 49 and are still together today. Let ' s go over and see how Annie Frazier is making out. She ' s sitting over in the corner withaa beautiful hair style, one of her own creations. She is a beautician. Maggie Williams is a wonderful beautician also. She resides in Pittsburgh Pa. at present. m Wflll it seems as if all the gang is leaving for home, but before everyone I want to tell you that we all had a wonderful time tonight. It seemed School days again. By the way, it looks as if I ' m the only one who is not married, but I ' ll put the ring on someone ' s finger someday. The next reunion I960, Just one year from today, at the home of Osrio tt in Trenton, N. J. Walter Peterson was elected our new Alumni president nd g he will send announcements about next year ' s plans. Goodnight everyone.
