Some with ornaments of rhyme. — — Longfellow. On a certain September day in the year 19.ii, we, a group of high-school graduates, entered Georgia State In- dustrial College. We were given the task of guiding the stately Ship of Education over the rough waves of the Sea of Knowledge. With bent backs we gathered up the nec- essary equipment, then set sail for our destination. The first year aboard the ship was spent m making pro- grams of impression for the long journey ahead of us. A few of the passengers decided that they wanted to go back. The reason for their decision we'll never know; but back they went. The first stop made on the journey was at Sophomore. Isle. Here we met Louise Lautier and Ralph Young and Paul Dixon who wanted to go with us to the Isle of Graduation. After assuring them that v,e were happy to have them in our midst, we cont nued our jon It on a technicality. I asked about the other member of the class and was in- formed that Pauline Howell had been recently appointed Art Instructor at Georgia State College, successor to Mrs Washington who had retired. Leathe Tarver was basketball coach at Elder High School, Sandersville, Georgia, and Leslie Calhoun was teaching Home Economics in her home town. After bidding me adieu, Leon went on his way. The next thng I knew I was in New York City. It seemed that I was perplexed to to how I got away from Mayes, but be- fore I could reason this out, I saw a young woman coming down the street with about fifteen little girls. She was scolding them for running out in the street in front of cars. As she came near me, I saw that it was Johnnye Jordan. She told me that she was matron of a girls' orphan- age and that she was carrying the children to the park for exercise, I asked her why she happened to be doing this kind of work whereupon she told me the whole story. . . . She had been engaged to a handsome young man and was jilted, which happening caused her to conclude that men couldn't be trusted, so she had decided to devote the rest of her I'fe to charity. After leaving Johnnye, I walked down Seventh Avenue. I came upon a theatre with several large signs in huge Page 24 print. My attention was cau;j;ht by one which read : ADDED ATTRACTION — COMING — BETTE WELLS AND HER SEPIA FROLICKERS. Something in the name interested me. — Wells. Could it be Eluabeth Wells of the class of '39? While thus wondering, who stepped out of the theatre with a long cigar in his mouth but Mcjoseph Horton. He assured me that Bette Wells was none other than our own little modest Elizabeth Wells. He said that he had made a handsome sum of money as her man.iger, and that he was making final ar- rangements for the performance. Along with Miss Wells were Annie Young, Mary Beaton and Susie Joseph. All of these girls had decided that teaching wasn't quite as thrilling as they had hoped and that they had decided to follow the carefree life of the stage. He also informed me that Nellie Simmons, (now Mrs. Joshua Johnson) creator of styles, — on Seventh Avenue and 12> Street — designed all costumes for the group; and that Alon;o Ninons was leader of a band at the Cotton Club, making a good substitute for the late Cab Calloway. Rufus Spencer was the soloist for the band. Before I could digest these facts, I found myself in Atlanta, Georgia, running down Auburn Avenue dodging a swiftly moving ambulance. When the ambulance reached me, it came to a sudden stop. Looking into the driver's seat, I recognised Millard McWhorter. He said that there had been a terrible accident in which two cars were com- pletely demolished and one man killed. He had gone to the scene in hopes of getting the body only to find that the man had been taken to the undertaker's already. He was rushing back to see if it was his place to which the man had been carried, but he assured me, business meant noth- ing to him when it came to a chance to chat with an old class mate. During the course of our conversation, I learned that Nancy Pruitt was singing nightly at the "SI Theatre." Joseph Flagg, George Hall, and John B. Jack- son had done so well with beautification work at their re- spective scl'.ools in small towns in Georgia, that they had formed a partnership, the business of which was cutting and caring for lawns and general home beautification. They had done quite well with this business, having now complete charge of the care and up-keep of most of At- lanta homes and buildings. After inviting me around to his home, McWhorter hur- ried on. I walked on down the Avenue and turned, but instead of being in Atlanta, I found myself in Fort Valley at the Fort Valley College of Arts and Sciences talking with Grover Eubanks, now acting president of the insti- tution. He said that the president had worked so hard trying to develop Fort Valley that it had given him a nervous break-down. Eubanks had changed so much. He had grown a long goatee and was very immaculate from head to foot. While I was talking with Eubanks, Harvey Walden, football coach, came in to get a contract signed. It was a guarantee for a game between Fort Valley and South Car- olina State College. They took pride in stating that their team had won two games that year. They had been losing all games h^'retofore. Eubanks urged me to stay for a Field Day program which was only a few hours off. All teachers in each community in the county were to be present. I decided to stay. While watching the crowd gather, a car drove up and stopped close by me. A very neatly dressed woman, about middle-aged, got out. She seemed very familiar, hut I couldn't place her. As she came nearer, I saw that it was Mrs. A. M. Hall, but her hair was white and she was quite a bit stouter. She noticed my looking at her hair and hurried to explain that she had worried so much in trying to make a successful Jeanes Supervisor in her county. She said she had come over to the Field Day program in order to get some points for her's next year. Mrs. Hall and I walked around the campus chatting when we came upon two other familiar people. They proved to be Paul Dixon and Robert Greyer, now Mr. and Mrs. They were teaching in a two-teacher school about six miles from Fort Valley. The bell rang for the assemble and the four of us en- tered the auditorium. There were several people seated on the rostrum — business men, doctors, and teachers. Among this group were Matthew Burke and Nathaniel Morris. Dixon told us that Mr. Burke was manager of the Pilgrim Health Insurance Company of Augusta and Mr. Morris was teacher of science in a consolidated school in Peach County. While sitting there thinking over all that I had seen, I became very hungry, and strange as it may seem, I found myself in Savannah on We.-t Broad Street. I saw Harvey Black standing in the door of a very attractive shop. He told me that he was owner and operator of this outstand- ing cleaning and pressing club and m connection with it was a tailor shop run by Ebzabeth Livingston. As Harvey and I were chatting about things that had happened since our graduation in 1939, Elizabeth came out of the store. She said she had watched our group buy suits from others so long that she thought she would try her hand. I learned that she was very successful at making la- dies' tailored suits. Elizabeth said that Mabel Perry was teaching at West Broad Street School, and Mabel Young was teaching an adult class at the Cuyler Night School, having tired of lit- tle children who asked so many questions she couldn't answer. Ruth Dudley was conducting an experiment on Com- mercial Frog Breeding. Quite a bit of money was being made from frogs as people were eating them now instead of chicken. Ralph (Polly) Young was doing well as a teacher of Home Economics at the Savannah Boys' Club. This Club was now quite a school for delinquent boys. Marion Heath had succeeded Mr. B. S. Adams as County Agent of Chatham County. James Lutcn, having married Minnie Fred Wright, was working in Athens, Georgia— Mmnie Fred's home town. It seemed that I heard a chorus singing — I awoke to find a group of W. P. A. women singing as they raked the leaves near me. Looking at my watch, I saw that it was five minutes past time for Professor Gordon's class, but 1 simply had to cut in order to record this experience. The End. Page 25 £eH40A. Maximal MILDRED B.
