Letters to the Editor Editor-the-Star: I recently received from my sister, Mrs.

Dorsey MacRae, of Hope, coples of your paper containing photographs and stories of the 38', 39' and 40' Hope High School Class Reunions. Included also were photostats of news stories published in the Star at the time of the graduations. Both were responsible for a flood of memories of the many happy years spent in Hope. Although I did not graduate from Hope High with the class of 38', having moved to Little Rock at the beginning of my senior year, I always felt that the class in Hope was the one to which I belonged. Many thanks for making it possible to remember and see old friends and classmates of thirty years ago.
