Hertford, Mrs. McLean, who is
retired and lives in Raeford, and
Misses Carrie Sturgis and Lois
Waller, both deceased.
After a period of getting reac
quainted, seeing who couldn't
recognize whom after 50 years, and
looking at old snapshots and 1932
News-Journals, the class members
gathered for a group picture. At
dinner they were welcomed by Tpm
Cameron, class president, and Jake
Austin, salutatorian in 1932, con
ducted a memorial for deceased
members. Paul Dickson recalled
some news items about class
members from 1932, about the
hard times and the Lindbergh
kidnapping that year, and recog
nized the class mascots, Lydia
McKeithan Stokes and husband
Bill of Wilmington, and Malcolm
McKeithan and wife Nora ^ of
Greenville, S.C. Each class mem
ber then summarized the 50 years
in his or her life and spouses and
guests were recognized. From these
.Tefollectiohs It was determined that
Mr. and Mrs. Gray Currie of
Portsmouth. Va. had come the
farthest, that Kathleen Looper
Dixon (Mrs. Roger) had been
married the longest, that Lucille
Sheppard Byrd of Pinebluff with 20
has the most grandchildren, and
that J.W. Russell, Jr., of Red
Springs has the most great-grand
children with eight.
Last on the program was the
teacher, Mrs. J.C. McLean, who
reassured her former students that
getting "over the hill" has many
good aspects and should not be
feared.
Those present were Pauline
Biggs Pittman, Margaret Campbell
McLauchlin, Thetus Campbell

trude Ellis McKeithan, Margaret
