(i v ptopriCY HI Bill It's been sometime sinoe I’ve last seen you,in fact,about fifteen wonder if you're otill as lively and carefree as you used to be at dear old R.H.b. I don't suppose you'.ve heard much from the Class of'42,so I shall try to inform you from a number of radio announcements,newspaper and magazine clippings as to what our old classmates are doing to keep up with the Joneses'. My eyes first alight on a newspaper clipping which states that Captain ’Villis Hawley,oommander of the H.H.3. Battleship,has been awarded a medal or his valorous deeds.That reminds me-rwhen I think of Willis I always think of Elizabeth Everhart. Elizabeth is doing the impossible — keeping her mouth shut and ears open. She applied for and received the position as typist in the office of the Prudential Insurance Company. . squint into politics leaves me under the impression that Steve Burch,having kissed 17 more babies than his opponent,Riley Donahue Jr.,will probably be elected our next mayor.And you will hardly believe it,but Don !!aGahey,the bravest of bravest, has succeeded Clyde Beatty as champion lion-tamer. This clipping made the front page in our local newspaper, The Robertsdale Trumpet —-Engineer Harold McClain is given contract for new suspension bridge across the sulphur creek.Bob Love and Eddie Corrie to direct labor. In the same issue I read of the appointment of Virginia Pessler as Latin teacher and Ruth Poster as Home Economics supervisor in the Robertsdale High School. By the way,here is one you'll be interested in,I know--Flying cadets, Andy Holobinko,Irvin Stewart,and Ben Jones,received high honors for their services rendered our country. I read in another dipping that Ruth v achob has been again appointed as our county librarian. OhJ 0h{ Here'8 a action, of the Sunday paper-the sports section,too.It announces Gene Rinehart's election as the King of Sports .Gene always was a good athlete,wasn't he? You remember 2lsie Theys,don't you? I hear she's designing women's apparel in one of the Fifth Avenue stores in New York city. Prom the P.P.A. News we learn that James corbin,head of the livestock depart- ment .will deliver an address on Judging cattle and hogs.Thile we are on that subject, I hear that Robert Shehan is managing a very prosperous farm near Todd. ’'ildred Leonard, has attained her goal as air hostess,afad she is now employed by the Transcontinental Airlines. Jump, at the in the Radio flash : Arlene McElwee has won the trophy for the world's longest ski- You know .don't you, that Augusta Lockard is physical education directress Y.Y .C.A. in Altoona ? I don't believe I mentioned anything- about Ralph Shehan.Ralph is now minister church which he attended as a boy, Genevieve Kouck.that wizard in i-atin.is assisting her sister in the beauty salon.
