LANIER BOYS’ HIGH SCHOOL, MACON, GA. – 26

Once an Indian Trading Post, next to grow into Fort Hawkins, this city became known as Macon in 1823. Today Macon is important both in cultural and industrial fields. Its schools offer more than ordinary educational facilities.

Dear Peter:

Am spending my vacation with Pat and Hank. Macon is a beautiful city. How is school going?

Love, Aunt Elva

Dear Bev & Jack,

So far I’ve been having a pretty nice vacation! (Sure needed it after 7 yrs. With Gene Smith – eh, Jack?) Guess in about 3 weeks I’ll have to get down to “business.”

Hope all is well with you. Tell Jell & Drew hello for me.

Much love, Joanne & Ann

Hi, how are things with you? I’m having a blast and my cold was almost gone but I went swimming and it got worse. Hope you are having fun. Will write soon.
