Dear Miss Jenkins: Ten years ago in caps and gowns, with tears we did depart. Twas ' 53, a brand new world, where we could make a start. And now that many years have passed and each has gone her way, We write to tell you what ' s become of us since that great day: Renee Bordeaux just took her place: First girl to win the Gold Cup Race! From all land travel she ll abstain. The Eddy Arcaro of the hydroplane. Sheila Bush, our literary lass, Just wrote a book which none surpass. In her penthouse, hundredth floor, Her fans surround her, fame galore. And Norma Cass will marry soon; Behind her, many hearts are strewn. The men adore her, she has charm! When she comes near, girls, take alarm! The D ' Oyly Cane Operatic group Has Jane Child starring in their troupe. La Traviata ' s next, and Jane Will sing the lead with little strain. Barbara C. has thought and planned To make Tacoma ' s odor grand. Twill be but one accomplishment Of Christy — this girl can invent!! Diane Church in the U. N. Was an interpreter and then She wed with glee a French Premier And now scrubs trop de diapiere! Among the fashion stars today Is Sharon Conner. Millions ca- 1 Ter to her fancy knitted wear: , The answer ' s here to Dagmar ' s prayer. V Our Hawaiian gal at last made good. And where she makes her livelihood? Is on Broadway. We all are proud, As Molly draws the largest crowd. Because she fits the role so well, Our Emmy is a Follies belle. She ' s world renowned for face and form, And soon will take T. V. by storm. And Blenda finally reached the height; She ' s New York ' s favorite socialite. The handsome crew which mans her yacht Consists of Peck, Lamas and Scott. Inside her igloo, snug and — warm? Is Betty Lou. Her school of charm Is quite sensational up there. She ' s glamorized many a polar bear. Dr. Ferris, slender, slim, Advises blimps ' ' on keeping trim. Her diets aid in losing weight. (Of course she ' d NEVER demonstrate). Lynne Goldberg last year settled down. You ' ll not see this girl wear a frown! With house to clean and meals to get, She ' s busy, happy — sans regrette!
