22 B. F. A. Mercury a johnson Speedmaster and continued on my tour. Ahead was a very impressive building and I immediately decided to visit it. It was the Red Cross Center supervised by a very efficient lady, Barbara Casavant. Other nurses there were Nancy Denio, Suzanna Montague and Eunice Messier. They were trying to find a refuge for a man who was being persecuted. It seems that Larry Raymond was running everyone else out of the barbershopping business, and they just couldn't stand it any longer. The Red Cross was out of remedies for ner- vousness so I volunteered to get some at Wayne Harveyis drugstore. There he told me that a gentleman by the name of Fritz Dworshak had just bought the last of it. Mr. Dworshak was working on a new electrical invention, and it was an awful strain on his nerves, too. From the drugstore I went to the hospital. They did have some of the much needed medi- cine. Robert Smart, head of the Research Lab- aratory, had just discovered a new cure for ner- vousness, and Iohn Kendrick was manufacturing it. Their saleswoman, june Colomb, was in for a new supply at the time I was there. In the corridor was a large poster advertising a bene- fit show: Clayton Nelson and His Band with Carol Asprey as vocalist. Shirley Thompson, Star of Television and Radio will play her ac- cordion and sing. Also appearing-Rita Che- nette-Blue Singer. A mile from the hospital was a ballfield, and the game in session was for the entertainment of the hospital patients. Everytime the name of the player Dave Ready was mentioned, cheers arose that were deafening. Most of the ladies were in a swoon. I didnit think it was that warm. Marilyn Hubbard and julia William's horse ranch could be seen from the ball park. Leo Guertin, navy recruiting officer, and john Poland, Air Force recruiting officer, were trying to talk some boys into joining the service. john Poland succeeded in getting Clifford Sar- gent and Gary McEwen to join his branch of the service. They planned to major in calisthenics. At the time they made up their minds, an attrac- tive Wave was walking by. I wonder if she had anything to do with their decision? A girl was hurrying to catch up with the at- tractive Wavef, When she did, she all but squeezed her to death. Terry Leduc, .itis been ages since I saw youf, Why, Chevvy, I havenit seen you in a long time eitherf, By eavesdrop- ping, I learned that Chevvy was Evelyn Che- valier, a dental secretary. I couldnit leave without visiting the school, so I did. Ray Ladue was teaching bookkeeping. I canit forget the triumphant expression on his face. He didn't look as though he had difficulty in attaining his position. Nancy Davis was the Home Economics teacher. jimmy Abell and Gloria Greene were also on the faculty. Marion Berger was working in the office. She liked the school so much, she couldnit leave it. I stayed for the assembly program. Mary Cantell spoke to the students about the oppor- tunities for telephone operators. I came out with the student body at dismissal time. Ted Arel, now a policeman, was on the sidewalk scaring the daylights out of a freshman who had taken a shortcut on the grass. Bob Boudreau's taxis were doing a good business taking some of the students home. A lot of the boys were rushing for Gerry L,Esperanceis Clothing Store. He was having a sale on flashy ties and socks. On their way some of the boys saw hot-rods dis- played at George Rand's Machine Shop, so they put their pennies in the bank instead. Above IjEsperance,s Store was a Hairdress- ing Salon-Faith Wilson, Proprietor. Now that I have seen everyone, it is time to say farewell. I want to wish the Class of '51 thc best of luck in achieving their ambitions. I wonder what changes will have occurred to the Class of '51 when I come back in 1980? JH x ,, .
