GIqML Pnx jxltec When I received a request to lecture at Uexvill, New York, on June 25, 11)55, I decided immediately to take enough time to look up my old classmates of Whitesville Central School. When I arrived at the Whitesville Community Airport, I found that I had missed the bus and that if 1 did not want to wait two hours, 1 would have to walk to the village. Since I thought that the exercise would do me good, I start- ed a-hoofing. About half way to Whitesville, 1 found Richard Lewis bossing a road gang. Richard gave me a ride to Whitesville, and on the way told me what In had been doing. Yes,there would always be snow upon King’s Hill, because he had married Jane Snow, his old-school sweetheart. Upon reaching town, I bade Richard farewell and proceeded to our home. I wasn't surprised much, when I saw a sign on the down-town feed-mill which read, “Folts and Son”. Keith after graduating from Alfred had become a partner in the enterprise and married Ruth Fitzpatrick. This I could hardly believe. In high school they hardly knew each other. As 1 was talking to Kieth. who drove up, but none other than Roberta Kear and Ellie Haskell. Roberta was now tin wife of Rob Loring, who works at the Rordeifs. They are the parents of two nice children. Eloise, who was still a Miss, works at the chair factory and sings with the Rythm Makers. They said that Leola Cromer had married Captain Ed Gill of the Artillery and that they were now the proud parents of four children and lived in Alabama. That night I went to the show a little early in order to see Donald Chase “Sug” who had given up aspirations of being an airplane designer and had taken over the “Lyric” besides a steady job at the Borden’s. Don, who is a bachelor, is quite a friend of Miss Doris Eldridge, who is now engaged as a secretary to Windy Top Farms’, Inc., of South Hill. Doris attended the show the night I was there and told me that Barbara Ilurlburt, who had obtained her experience on the “Tatler” was society editor on the Xew York Times. Barb, who is a graduate of Ohio University has been in Xew York five years. She later served on the Whitesville Xews. After the show. Don and Doris invited me to go out with them. They immediately led me to the place that 1 had always known as Horten’s. To my surprise, I found the interior nothing like it used In be, but a elaborate night-club. Loraine (’ary. the owner of the place was another class- mate of mine. She told me that they had a special guest, who turned out to be no one other than Clyde Grover, the great. Clyde was a member of the Grover and Sikorsky Helicopter Corporation. He had gone to work as a machinist for the Sikorsky Co., shortly after graduation and soon rose to this height. The next day. on my way to Rexville to give a lecture on ‘‘The Protection of Left-handed Eskimos”. Xear Rexville. I saw a sign Austin Austin, pro- ducers of oil and honey. It was a great surprise to me when I found that our former class advisor was a member of this concern. One of the persons who heard my lecture was Leo Coleman. Leo said that lie had choosen farming as his life’s work, also that he was quite success- ful. lie was the only member of our class who had taken up agriculture as a full-time occupation. After completing my real purpose, I decided that it would be necessary for me to leave in order that I could carry on my work to prevent the extinc- tion of left-handed Eskimos.
