Just look at the size of the gym. Boy, I wish we had this gym when I played sports. Look at that. Even a swimming pool, an indoor track—everything! Have you seen any of the kids in our class? No, but here comes Barb Willette. Remember her? Well, boys, what do you think of the school? Changed some, eh, now that they have all the surrounding villages incorporated in the Bran- don school? If they’d had this when we went to school we would have had a larger Senior class. Speaking of the Senior class, have you heard from any of them? No, but here’s a pile of letters addressed to the Class of ’50, let’s look and see what they say. This one is from Barb Jennings. She has finished her two years at Green Mountain Junior College and is the wife of Charles Barnes, who is a teacher at Barstow. Well, after four years Kitty has married Don. Together, they discov- ered a curl that makes men’s hair look more natural, and now they’ve opened a beauty parlor for men. Tom Maroney decided to take over his father’s business, so he wouldn’t have to work nights and days to support himself. We haven’t heard much about you Barney. I understand you’re living in the back woods and you’ve become another Daniel Boone. Muriel Munger has a large beauty shop in the heart of Boston. She wants everyone to have hair like hers. I hear Margie McDonough chased you, Roger, until you finally caught her and now you’re living happily in the city of Forestdale. Harriet Nicholson got a job drawing cartoons for the “Sunday News”, after she graduated from Middleburv College. Her main feature is “The Gumps”. Mary Leonard has surprised everyone. As soon as she graduated from Castleton, she married a tall, dark, and handsome farmer and they’re running a very prosperous farm together. Bill Simonds discovered a new face lotion which grows early beards for young boys, and he is manufacturing the product in a factory. Bob Platt is still searching the model agencies looking lor Norma’s twin. Anne Stacy and her husband, Pete, are traveling the country, asking cows how the milk situation is. Genny Castonguay is head book-keeper in Bud DeLancy’s electrician school and she recently' became half owner. In church, she got Bud to say “I do”. Jerry Rockwell and Arlene Hewey are happily married. Arlene is work- ing in a drug store to make ends meet, while Jerry has just been made President of the A P Company.
