Memorial High School Class of Forty - Eight high honors, has now moved into a little vine-covered cottage in Newton, his dream town, and has established his own business. Good luck, Stan ! FAYE BEMIS became a buyer for a certain South Middleboro concern right af- ter graduating from the University of Ver- mont, but while on a purchasing trip we hear that she was sold on marriage to a cer- tain G. I. ALICE SOUSA, who once said her am- bition was to be able to make up her mind, finally did. She went to Boston University and then came back to become a teacher here in Middleboro. We think that a Hall has more attraction, and so we suspect she may soon become one permanently. BARBARA WALL has opened a hair- dresser ' s shop. Needless to say. this is the first time that a beauty parlor has been patronized by a Mann . In partnership with her is NATALIE TURNER, another Lakeville girl. BILLY COLYIN joined the Navy right after he finished high school and has done remarkably well. In fact, we hear that he is now admiral on his own ship, the S. S. Faye. RITA BRITTON, one of our diamond- ring girls, took the trip to the altar soon after graduation, and from all reports she and Joe are now living happily ever after. GEORGE DEANE has become business editor of the Saturday Evening Post. He rides all around the country getting ads, a practice which he first became acquainted with as business manager of our own Year Book. ELAINE TANGUAY has traveled a- round the world twice, and she says she had a wonderful time. Since she did, we Dink she couldn ' t have been alone, huh, Elaine? Forest Ranger EINAR EDLUND is in Yellowstone National Park enjoying the ex- periences he looked forward to during his high school days. Einar, always a little shy, reports that the bears make excellent com- pany. ROSE SILVA became a dietician and is now working in the U. S. Department of Health in Washington. JANE FICKERT became an airline stewardess but takes time off from her duties to lead every parade in Middleboro. She gained valuable experience as head twirler for the M. H. S. band. Her chief complaint, however, is that her twirler ' s uniform is too short ; she always did want the new look, but we think the old one is O.K. as it is, Jane. MISS THERESA SHEA has become a high school librarian. A confirmed man- hater, she has broken the hearts of numerous suitors and is president of the Unmarried Women ' s Club. GEORGE STETSON has become man- ager of the hotel which he himself built. In his spare time he is also editor of the ad- vice to the lovelorn column of the Middle- boro Gazette. If he thinks one of his fan ' s problems is hopeless, he takes the girl out himself. MAL SHURTLEFF, who said that her ambition was to make a good wife for a six- foot, three-inch blonde with blue eyes, did just that. She and Joe have been voted the outstanding couple of the year. LESLIE GILL has become a world fa- mous draftsman. He recently built a new city which will replace Washington as our capital. He calls it Janehaven.

His righthand man is CARL (The Voice) DUPRE. They have an an- nual contest to see which one can do the least. There has been no winner as yet be- cause Dick and Carl are always tied. ROLAND (Farming is easy) MILLS has just sent to Washington for a patent. He plans to cross potatoes with air planes so he won ' t have to dig for them.

He feels that every child should have the advantage of using a library as he did in M. H. S. RICHARD HINCKLEY is playing his own symphonies at Carnegie Hall.

BETTY JEAN CASWELL is singing with the Metropolitan Opera Company, and in her spare time she paints portraits in her own studio. We predicted she ' d be a suc- cess. DONALD ARCHIBALD has recently moved to Europe where he is teaching the people how to get along with Americans. He got his experience back in high school, where he always got along well with every- one. ROGER NELSON, after graduating, went to work in one of our local stores. A few years later he decided to open a store of his own. We have it on good authority that he now has a profitable business. DICK HELEEN is the largest cranberry grower in Massachusetts. He is also the most eligible bachelor. What ' s the matter, girls??? GENE MC KAY is about to realize his life ' s dream. Next week he will start work on a mural in one of New England ' s largest churches. We know he ' ll do a wonder- ful piece of work.
