Beverly Horman, who learned the ropes of army life way back in the good old days is now the youngest general in the U. S. Army. After taking many difficult rhymba lessons from Arthur Murry, Dot Javins has developed hip and knee. Owner of the largest ranch in Kansas, we find Betty Jumet hiring and firing cowboys. In EkiPon t ’ s Laboratories we see Joseph Kleckner , who has just discovered the formula to dissolve sit-down strikes. After shooting many “Japs” in our last war Charles Lookabaugh is well on his way to becoming a retired sailor. Peggy Lyles has become an eniment figure in society as a social secretary. In one of the largest hotels in the south we find Louise Minnick, as a dietician, trying to decide just what would be suitable for a honeymoon breakfast. Although the light of Ruth Monroe’s life has gone out several times, it has renewed itself and she is once again engaged to a wealthy football coach. Tabitha Morris is the Home Demonstration Agent of Fairfax County. Lorraine Mundy , that gal of many loves, believe it or not, has become a man-hater.

Edith Nelson is noted for her strictness in her classes, she is teaching typing and shorthand at Mount Vernon.

Mary Parnell is in one of the largest colleges of Virginia teaching music to its students. Well, well, so Franconia has a chicken farm now --Charlotte Paul has seen to that. At Virginia Beach, we see Louis Peverill the ever-needed life guard. He answers female S.O.S. calls so often that he has nightmares of screaming mermaids. Shirley Platt has now reached her goal as an airline hostess on a bomer. Down in Hawaii we find Jean Roberts vacationing. And guess what, she has gone native even to the extent of wearing a grass skirt. Marion Romdahl has made Groveton a modern “Paris” w ' i th her new fashion shops. Carter Lee Smith has become famous since he has finished constructing a large bridge spaning the Hudson. Grace Smith is a great dietician at St. Mary’s.
