Its amusing to turn on the radio, pick up a paper, hear people talking, and learn something about some of your classmates. Charles Rice is now a cameraman in Hollywood, filming those gorgeous movie stars. Looks like Valton Long likes his job too. He's an im- portant director at one of the studios. The same one Charles Rice is working for. Harlan Heuer, Robert Mason and Williard Parker are making their fame and fortune as glass blowers. They devel- oped the art differently from everyone else and started qui te a fad . Looks as if Roscoe Abbott and Earl Bodiford also decid- ed to be different from everyone else. They're just plain farmers, planting potatoes year after year. I never thought anyone would finally end up in the let- popolitan Opera House, but Dorothy Bauman did, and her sis- ter Ruth is her understudy. They both are doing splendidly. Arthur Sandburg's name will go down in history as being one of the most outstanding inventors of his time. His in- ventions are too numerous to name. Irene Schwartz and Blaine Cloptop,have made a name for themselves as a doctor and an excellent photographer in low York. Both are in demand constantly. And yours truly, why I'm an airline hostess. I start- ed when I finished school and I'm still at it. It's fasci- nating work, and I love it. I almost forgot two of my classmates. They are in such obscure places with sure fascinating work too. Carl Breck- ner is a scientist of the General Electric Corp. He is in Iceland working on some new weather device. Ruth Krantz is a competitor. She is working for the Nash-Kblvinator Corp. helping to perfect a similar device. And now as our journey comes to an end we prophesy HAPPINESS TO EVERYONE in the Class of 1947.
