Stinesville High School, Quarrian, 1954, Page 22

Description: Class Pro phe cyAs I, Lucille Young after a hard day at the office, came into my richly furnished apartment,and it was the best day of the year, because my vacation was starting. It had been eight yearssince I left my parents in Stinesville. I had taken a secretarial position with Macys in NewYork.I was waiting on my husband who was attending an Agriculture meeting, when, who shouldcome home with him, but Benton Stidd who was also going home. After an interesting conversation with Benton in which he told me he was teaching Agriculture at New York Central, wecalled our taxi. I was very surprised to find myself looking into the smiling face of none otherthan Bob Clark. He told me he had been with the taxi company for four years.Once on the airplane, I was to have another surprise. In the pilots seat sat Bill Hite, andwho should I see coming down the aisle, but Alice Prather, stewardess. She showed me theOhio State University, of which James Kerney was president. I also learned from her that JerryPeterson had recently flown on one of their planes to Texas to fulfill his high school dreams.Finally the plane landed and we boarded a train for the rest of our journey. Much to myamazement, Phil Taylor was the conductor. In the seat in front of me sat Phil Wampler, JimWilbur, Noah Swafford and Lee Payton, who were going to the first basketball game of theseason at Ohio State and were representing my home town, Stinesville.Wishing them luck, we stepped off the train in my home town. I was hungry after a longtrip; I entered a nearby restaurant for lunch. Who should I see but Dale Morgan? Dale saidhe had owned the restaurant for two years. I was amazed to learn from Dale that Max Maywas the sheriff of Monroe County and that Sue Pittman was his secretary.After getting a good nights sleep at home, I stepped out the door the next morning andwho should I see but Shirley Hayden and her three daughters. She had married shortly afterschool was out. In a very interesting conversation with Shirley, she told me that Anna MaeBingham was working for the F.B.I, in Washington D.C.I asked Mother if our sponsor, Mrs. Franklin, still lived in Stinesville. She said she did.I decided I would make a phone call. She invited my husband and I down for a steak supperthat evening. We talked about old times that the Class of 1954 had at S.
