June 25, 1955, will be long remembered in the annals of society, for today we are gathered in the gigantic Foster Theatre to witness the premier of the motion picture triumph, ,,For Whom the Gong Resounds,” starring Scott Earnest and Tana Learner. The huge auditorium, which is one of a chain owned by the famous career woman, Ruth Hamburg, is filled to capacity with expectant fars and now the celebrities are arriving. Lights are flashing, helicopters are circling overhead, and cars are pulling up in front. The Hon. Senator William F. Mattoon. owner of Green Acres Farms” near Phelps, New York, will act as master of ceremonies. Senator Mattoon has just introduced a bill in Congress limiting the national school year to eleven weeks—not including the summer vacation. Stepping into the spotlight is M’lle. June Lannet, (nee June Lannon) the world-famous Metropolitan opera star, escorted by Clifford.” prominent New York florist. Miss Lannet will long be remembered for her role as Susanna in The Marriage of Figaro.” Now approaching the microphone is Robert Mur-gatroyd” Parmerter, renowned scientific poet, accompanied by his charming secretary, Mrs. Robert Kneut. You may remember her as our former classmate, Shirley Reed. Also in this party is the noted Dr. Olan Payne, P. D. Q., L. S. M. F. T., T. S. L., A. W. O. L. F. Dr Payne, you will remember, is author of that bestseller, How To Know ALL the Answers.” The glamorous Miss Learner is now entering the foyer. Even during school days we knew she would reach such heights. Yes, folks, Jeanne Love! With Miss Learner is the young Bohemian artist who helped her attain success, Gene Cook. Ah—and who is this ravishing beauty??? Why it’s none other than Janet Call, the celebrated concert pianist and composer of the Suphur Suite.” She is escorted by a very distinguished and very attentive Naval officer—name?—a military secret! The one and only “Windy” Winbum has just arrived. You have no doubt read about his winning the national auto cup last week at the Indianapolis Speedway. Accompanying Windy” is Marjorie Sieg-wald, secretary for the Olympic Games. Marge is now Mrs. Charles MacCumber. Entering now is the former Pat Macllroy, now one of the ten best-dressed women in the country. Her latest husband is the author of our production, Her-nest Emingway, but this evening she is escorted by that dashing young medic and man about town with the delightful bedside manner—Dr. Robert Allen. Emma. Alma. Thelma, Fatima, Asthma, and As-tigma. the world’s only sextuplets, have now entered with their mother. Mrs. Robert Mattoon of Phelps. Mrs. Mattoon was Miss Dorothy. Lappan. daughter of the Orleans Lappans. The crowd is pressing against the ropes and autograph books are being pushed toward the center aisle —Scott Earnest is now nearing the marquee, smiling, signing books for his admirers and looking very handsome, indeed. Here we have the much talked of Ration Sisters” —Mildred Tears, Verna Shekell, and Pauline Young— who introduced the ever-popular One Porkchop” which was number one on the Hit Parade for fifty-six weeks way back in 1946. This reet” trio has been booked in all of the most famous nightclubs of the country since their debut. Miss Theresa Lapresi, heiress to the Lapresi millions, and that glamorous hostess of the world-famous Clifton Springs Sanitarium.

They look very familiar—yet—Oh yes—we can see them plainly now and it’s the beloved and beautiful advisor of the class of '45. Mrs. George Rich. Jr. Attending with Mrs. Rich are her five sons. Stunning Mrs. Bruce Teemley is the next to step up to the microphone. Mrs. Teemley was Peg Mer-scher, our former classmate. Escorting Peg are her husband, manager of the large commercial airport in Watkins Glen, and her sons, Bruce and Ruse. We see a very glamorous blonde approaching—it’s none other than Jean Driscoll, now Mrs. Richard Turner, wife of the railroad magnate. Jean is famed for her gracious hospitality and her mansion on Booth street is one of the showplaces of the nation. The last of our celebrities has just arrived, Mrs Robert Jones. You will remember her as Betsy Crawford, the artist” of the senior class. They now reside in the large Redwood Forest in California where Bob is head of the Forestry Department.
