Sadat class Hello, ladies and gentlemen, out that way. This is station XY Z-TV bringing you the 1957 alumni banquet of the stars of 1952. As you can see on your TV screens, we are seated here in the Cambridge High School auditorium, and everything is topsy-turvy as old friends renew their acquaintances. I see a well-dressed gentleman at the head of the tableg so I'll find out a bit of his history and what he has done in the past five years since graduation. His name is Roger Johnson, former star actor and president of the 1952 senior class. He is now presi- dent of the Chevrolet Factory in Lynn Center. Roger's factory is a huge affair and has an annual output of about three cars per year. Although Roger is no longer a star of C.H.S., he'is still a star in the heart of his wife, Catherine Broshar, who is seated here next to him. Catherine is now a busy housewife and the mother of one child. Carol Palmer and Marie Swan are the next two ladies I approach. Both of these girls have just been graduated from college. I heard of an amazing incident that happened to Marie while she was at Boulder. It seems that Marie had three fraternity pins at the same time, and everything was going fine until she' couldn't remember which pin to wear with which boy. She turned out dateless for the nen formal dance. Ihear laughter coming from the next table, so I'll walk over and see what the joke is. just as I thought -our high school jesters, Larry Efaw and Jim Carl son, are telling each other some of their past experiences. Larry is now a leading announcer and comedian on the Geneseo Gossip and Gab Group TV show, and jim is a happy-go-lucky bachelor working as a private secretary to J. B. Snodgrass of Andover. We have two girls here today from the class of '52 who had to travel quite a distance in order to reach Cambridge. They are Sally Wells and Lois Sterling. After graduation Sally went to Wales, where she started a chain of gift shops with the assistance of her Welsh correspondent. Sally is now awealthy society woman in Wales. In the year 1953 Lois Sterling met and married her Swiss correspondent here in America. The couple have made their home in Switzerland and now are parents of twin boys. The next group of housewives I come to here are Lois Swanson, Donna Yarger, Elberta Thomas, Lor- raine Newman, Zerretta Grant, Rosemary Lashbrook, and Joan Nelson. At school these girls were the people behind the scenes because they didn't do the main acting but were always ready to lend a helping hand when work had to be done. Now they are the housewives of today, discussing their recent Home Bureau meeting or how to bake a chocolate cake. Hear that roar of laughter? Someone just asked if the former Ellen Grossmann and Shirley Descamps thought they could cheerlead now. Both these girls were cheerleaders in high school, and now both of them are farmas' wives. Shirley and her better GJ half, Harvey john son, were a trifle late for the banquet today because Harvey's prize hogs broke through the farm, fence. With the assistance of their neighbors, Ellen and Emery Gregory the hogs were rounded up in no time. Among all these people we have a model who flew from Ulah to be here today. She is Helen Pierce, who models formals for Ulah Elevator Inc. Helen ac- cepted this position after graduating from college last year. Rollin Robinson is now beginning a career of farming. To make his expenses higher and his will power weaker is his other half, the former Joyce Clark. Rollin and Joyce were married in '54 and the army released Rollin in '57. Most of the boys you have seen here today have served three or more years in the armed service. A number of them were sent overseas in the same out- fit, number Z, and many heroic tales are told about the Outfit Z. One tale that was particularly famous in all the newspapers of the day was the time Carl Wexell pulled his famous tackle on a Communist official, and our husky Alfred Dobbels sat on top of said official until he surrendered all his troops. One of our purple heart winners was James Vinzant. He was wounded in The Battle of the Drink, when someone struck him over the head with a bottle. Jim's nurse was our own Mary Anderson, who was shipped overseas in 1954 in the Army Nurses' Corps. One lucky lad here today is Vernon Stephens. In the summer of '52 a wealthy oil well owner, Otto Pumpernickel, died and left Vernon three million dollars because one time Vernon had written to him requesting information about how to dig an oil well. Vernon was very happy when he heard the news of his wealth because now he doesn't have to work the rest of his life. Our classmate, Betsy Hedbloom, has hit the head- lines lately. It seems that her husband, J. C. Thud, of Texas, has discovered a new substance that will prolong life. When Thud was asked in an interview what he based his fame on, he said, It's all due to my wife-IH never have found that substance if I hadn't tried one of her burned dishes of cheese la king on our sick dog. We have one way-down-yonder in the you all country gal in our alumni session here. She is the former Janet Lundell. In 1953 lan was married, and for a honeymoon the couple chose to see the Mardi Gras in New Orleans. Because both of them liked the
