YEAR BOOK, 1926 23 . always was a hard worker, and it doesn't seem strange that she would be doing this sort of work. She was the Salutatorian of our class, and has certainly earned the position that she is now filling. The only thing that I am afraid of is that she will become near-sighted from watching her work too closely. Mary Hogan, the famous lecturer, will give a talk, next Monday evening, in the High School Hall, on 'What History Does for Students! Miss Hogan is a delightful speaker and a good attendance is desired. This did not surprise me, because Mary carried off all the history prizes, back in Natick High. She was also a fine elecutionist, so I know that this lecture will be well worth hearing, Elena Bianchi is the last on my list. 'She has become a hostess in one of the newest and most exclusive hotels in Florida. This particu- larly suits Elena, as her refined beauty and culture makes her eligible for this sort of work. Well, I don't see anything more pertaining to my classmates, so I guess I'll go shopping and spend some of my hard- earned money. DOROTHY DAMON, '26 SCHOOL CALENDAR, I 925-I 926 Score: N. H.

22 THE SASSAMON that she will be very wealthy before many years, because she always has been a perfect mother to her charges. There seem to be quite a few of the members of my class engaged in business outside the country. Here is an item that says that Jessie Muskat has opened a real estate office in California. I hope she has better luck than Bee Barratt had, You know Jessie was one of the smartest in our class, and as the real estate business requires a great deal of hard work, she will fill the position perfectly. She has employed a large staff, and seems to be the busiest of any of the new offices. Here is a dispatch from a Virginia paper. It says that Miss Helen MacCarrick has inherited a large southern mansion, and that she will -take possession shortly. Helen's ancestors hail from the South, and it has been her greatest wish to become hostess of one of these man- sions. It looks as though her desire had been fulfilled. She has over- come the shyness that she had when she went to school, and has be- come quite sophisticated! Her stately manner does credit to her, in fact it is the one thing that would impress a stranger. I have read about every member of the Senior Class of '26 and have learned something about each and every one of the girls. There are two or three more that I know nothing about, and have in no way been able to find any trace of them. I hope that they, too, have suc- ceeded as well as their fellow-members. But, just a minute! Here is an article in the paper that says that Virginia Leith has taken over the physical directing class of WEEI, and will begin broadcasting the morning exercises over the radio tomorrow morning. This quite suit- able for Ginger, because she was our second best athlete. She played on the basket-ball team, and was noted for her spriteliness. She was a very fast runner, and an all-around good sport. I sort of ex- pected Ginger to turn out to be an English teacher-she was so fond of it, but I suppose this appealed to her the most! I am sure her pupils will find that they have acquired muscles like iron, after having her for a teacher for one or two months. It also says here that the Super- intendent of Montana Normal School will give a short talk on Why Your Boy and Girl Should Attend College. Miss Mullen has for many years persuaded parents to send their children to college by showing just how valuable it is to their after-life. She has given several lec- tures over the radio, and has received many replies, thanking her for her talks. Louise Mullin, a Supervisor of a Normal School! Although she studied for Normal School I never thought that she would get there, because Louise was not that type. I thought she would invent another type of automobile or something like that, but I see she hasn't. I suppose she must have taken a sudden like to studying, and decided to make herself useful. I It also says here that Bertha Silver is home on a month's vaca- tion. She has been working very steadily as a confidential secretary to a Wall Street broker, and has certainly earned this vacation.
