THE sAssAMoN 17 that his research has aided science tremendously. VVho are we to doubt such a well-educated man? At the table to the right of us sits hlarilyne Murphy, owner of a fashion shop in Florida. XYe learn that she has Helen Pineau. Tina XVinn, Barbara Houret, and Mary Amato on her modeling staff. How's that for being loyal to your high-school classmates? Sitting with Klarilyne is Rlarie Culcasi, who is making a tour of the country playing the piano for the entertainment of the numerous veteran hospitals. Speaking of veterans, Marie tells Us that Nlariou Dutton is running one for Navy personnel only. She must be prejudiced or somethin', huh? To the left of us is Eddy Wall, trying to put over a deal to Barbara Gilmore, well-known artist. He has really taken his real-estate business seriously, and know- ing Eddy, we realize he can use persuasive measures. Over in the corner, Anita Leavitt is having trouble with her spaghetti. The darn stuff goes everywhere but the right place. She is in partnership with Bobby Grant, designing and producing new hat creations. They really have an effect on men-especially their pocketbooks. The food was excellent. No wonder Irene Town, the cook, received the high- est award at the national cooking contest. The beverage served with the meal proved to be Lene Pierro's Non-Burp specialty. She and Betty l'ignatelli have devoted many years to perfecting it. . Complaining in loud tones and in no uncertain language about the non-tender- ness of his steak is Arthur Arthur, who now runs the Colonial. Realizing that there isn't too much time left before the play, we pay the cashier. Vasilika Christi and depart with a few more pounds added. but feeling swell. Elizabeth Downing takes our tickets. She and Isabelle tlrupposo are running an agency for lonely hearts. lt's different, anyway! And Howl T Katherine Peters and Elena Pisano are ready with programs. They are engaged in the reducing business. Their policy is, lf NYC Can't Blake You Thin, There Is No Use ln Hoping. As we are rather early, we obtain seats right where we can see people as they enter. There is Harriet Hayes, famous singer. who will render several selections during intermission, just as she did ten years ago. jean Mills will accompany her on the piano. Here comes Geno Martinelli and his boys who will provide the music tonight. His is one of the leading bands of the nation now. Richard VanXVart is his pub- licity agent. T Norma 'l aylor, Thelma Syrbich, Susan Tenny, and Marjorie Temple all come x in together. They form a committee for the benefit of homeless Siamese Twins. They are all married and settled down, so they have plenty of time to put into club work. Mary Moran, joan Davis's understudy, and june Miller, married to the presi- dent of the Telephone Company, enter next. They wave to Claire Pulsifer, bridge champion of the United States. , Sitting in the front row is Olive Seeley and Rhoda Sullivan. Olive is Presi-

lo THE SASSAMON Dana Olson and Harold Paecht were visiting Mr. McManus when we stopped in. Dana Olson is now heavyweight champion of the world. and Harold is his promoter. He certainly has come a long way since our school days in '45, Walking further around the building, we find as head coach and assistant physical director, tllenford Atkinson, whose excellent volumes written on basket- ball theory have carried his name high in the world of sports. Glenny tells us that Tony K'ot'liosiCl'o has been named to have the most perfectly built body in the world, easily taking the title away from Charles Atlas. After talking with Glenny for a while, we continue along our way: and our attention is attracted by none other than William Brown who is head of the mathe- matics department. We drop in just as he is stating his reasons why Einstein is wrong, and his group of quiz kids is listening intently. We listened too, but it was greek to usg so we sneaked out. A Un the corner we purchase a paper with headlines that read as follows: Agnes ll'i1.wn, I-'irxt H'onmn Presideiit of the United States. In the articles below, we tind that june Brenneman is to he her private secretary. Incidently, Donald Schen- fele is vice-president. Now we'll know where to go when we want some red tape cut. ln a sub-headline we read that .lean Cotton and john VanderMeer are the new academy award winners for the coming year. Even out in Hollywood, the town of Natick is well represented. As we turn the page, a picture catches our eye. A group of -men with torn and ragged clothes and with flowing beards are looking unhappily at the camera. Their names, left to right are: Vincent Roberts, Robert Gilbert, Thomas Deignan, Robert Brown. and Vito Arminio. all former sailors. It seems that their ship was torpe- doed near a l-'acihc Isle, and they have just been living there ever since. They didu't :eem to like being rescued very well. We wonder why! An ad just below describes the beautiful riding academy run by jean Dunton, with -lean Blain as assistant instructor. It states further that all her horses are fed exclusively on Hay-Nay, the famous horse food created by Hazel Najas. Un the society page we see that Ella Mae Hatch is now in the upper brackets. jean Riker is her constant companion, both working on committees and charities. The current best seller is advertised. Its author is Loretta Kreshpane, its title- - Giggles The title will prepare you for anything, and knowing the author, you should be ready for anything. lrene .-Xntinori's column on W'ho's Who in Hollywood is read by all. She has only the highest praise for Salvatore Profetto's new production. Its leading lady is none other than june Bellofatto. We knew that that cute faceaand figure would take her places. Irene also writes that Tony Melchiorri, noted trumpeter, has been ollered a contract from Warner Bros. Someone suggests going to Flynn's Cafe for our evening meal, so we lose no time in getting over to jeans U We are greeted at the door by hostess jean Hewitt. who leads us to a pleasant- ly-situated table. l'aul Nleymaris, who had been sitting all alone, moved his chair over to us and joined the party. He claims that he has invented a painless drill and

l8 THE SASSAMON dent of Framingham State Teachers College now, and Rhoda is her private secre- tary. There's the mayor, Arthur Hansen, with Leo Grady, pitcher for the Boston Braves. They sit down beside Phyllis Hall, noted writer. She has written a book on shorthand entitled, Why I Don't Agree With Mr. Gregg. l bet Miss Crocker will be interested in this. Looking very happy and contented, indeed, is Marilyn Foster. seated with her husband, former Sealiiee. Margaret Sweeney, Patricia Ciccarelli, and Patricia Carey are busy discussing the tenth divorce of Fay Spooner. Tsk, Tsk, Fay. I should think it would get a trifle monotonous. Patty Ciccarelli and Patty Carey have formed the Pat 8a Pat Food Shop. Their best customer is Margaret Sweeney who gives numerous teas. dinners, lunches, etc. at the local Old Ladies' Home, run by Dora Chaulk. Barbara Morse, owner of a local beauty shop, comes in with Kay Vergos, who has a chain of ice cream parlors. She has created the Sundae Extraordinary. Eyerything's in it but the kitchen sink. Do you remember that quiet little girl, Elaine Condon? You wouldn't know her now! She is an ace comedienne on stage and radio, noted for her moose calls, no lessl Another radio star is Nancy Angelo, who stars on the program John's Second Wife's Cousin. The sponsor of the show is Louise Berenius, producer of Onions Supreme. It seems that the onions still hold their flavor, but thewonclerful aroma has been eliminated. She has made millions. The hall is really filling up now, and ushers Mary Carroll, Christine Boucher, and Mary Ahern are having difficulties finding room for all. Chris is a personality expert now, and the two Mary's are on her staff helping to give pointers to all. Their motto is Come with poisonalityg leave with personality. Ruth McCracken, an authority on XYhat the canine of today is wearing, is hunting furiously for a seat. A few of her models tried to follow her in, but a sign was quickly posted, No Dogs Allowed. I Everyone has quieted down now, for it is time for the curtain to go up. I mean it was quiet for a moment, but the silence was shattered by someone coming in like a two-ton dump truck. Mary Maloon, the last member of the class of '45 to be seen before the lights are dimmed, makes a flying leap for an empty seat beside Ruth. Mary is the creator of the No-heat, No-curler, No-chemical Perman- ent Wave. The secret of it all is that she hypnotizes the customer, scaring her so that her hair curls. Why didn't someone think of that before? lncidentally, she missed the chair and cracked a perfectly good floor board. Sh-h-h, everybody, there goes the curtain. As the lights were dimmed and the curtain rolled up, Danny Dunn and Dolly Kinsman were again portraying the mother and father. Dan's now a semi-pro boxer, and Dolly operates the How toflet Your Man Agency. Next came Pat Cuttell, now the sole owner of The ltsum Kitsum Flea Show. jim Hamwey arrived late, due to the fact that he and Dot Killeen, now Mr. and Mrs., are busy with l.,otira, Pepita, Rosita and Mike. Tony Arminio's dance style is quite differ-
