CLASS ftlftPKECY Time: 1948 - 1968 Place: Modern Wiilsfeoro As I drove speedily into Hillsboro in my new Chevrolet, which looks like a bullet with, wheels on, I-noticed that the town had changed a great deal. There were twice as many buildings and the lovely old town had changed to a somewhat lively town. My chauffeur is the honorable Le Roy Shepard, who left with me and his lovely- wife, Veletia Strong, about ten years ago to work for me. The first thing that I noticed was the large theater which stood where the old Grange Kail was whan I left. The picture playing was ''The Singing Kid, featuring George Hosmer and Doris Beckman, Imagine my surprise when I later discovered that Marshall Benedict owned the theater and supported him and his wife, Mary Martin. He says that Mary' proves to be a successful cook. Evelyn Brunet married Harold Hoskins and still holds the telephone office, and Harold Hoskins coaches the famous baseball team on the side. Arnold Spierto is proprietor of afashionable night club, known a3 the Mill Stream where we find Betty Howell, Helen Provost, and Margaret Flaherty. Doctor? Oh, yes. Roe ij-oftus is the city doctor and Mary Stanley helps him as a professional nurse. Nick A-bare is ambulance driver for the Patients1 Hospital. The cleaning business became too dirty for him. Thelma erdo runs a dressmaker's shop and is married to Lesley Cross who is a foreman at the mill. There were traffic cops on two corners and you can't imagine who they were; Jame3 lVlason and :’verwin Hutchins. Norman King was a condufctor on the street car which ran through the town. I first visited the school where Prof. Lilly is still teaching and his son is a member of the Senior Class. He also has a very attractive daughter who is a Freshman. My, my, how time flies. Among the teachers employed are Edna Flora, Mary Shambo, Rachel Sahppy, Kathryn Curren, and Kendall ’Villeins is the history C teacher and Margaret Shedd is assistant in History C. Bud Daby is a famous dancing teacher and Gladys Doylw is his assistant. I nearly forg ot to mention that they are married and raising a family. ’Then I went to church, received the surprise of my life. John Adams was the priest. Mr. Thayer has retired as a teacher and he and Miss Legate live comfortable intheir home, the house formerly belonging to Eulee Jones. I took my car■to the Chevrolet garage now run by Ronald Marshall. I stayed over night at their home. Elsie Rand, now his wife, runs the house and is a very good cook. As I gossiped about' all my friends, I found that Joseoh Bruno and his wife Marion Tero live on.a farm on the outskirts of the city. Ellen Crowningshield is the librarian. Helen Denett i3 married to Vaughan Stafford and is assisting him in his janitor work by dusting. Billy Daniels is taking care of a farm and still waiting for Mary Stanley, Grace Prenier and Llewelyn Martin are married, Thedra Oliver is running the Girls' Seminary in the city, -George Blanchard is clerking in the A and P Stores and Blanche''
