TIHE sAssAMoN 19 ent now since he's toured South America with his captivating partner, Charlotte Anzivino. Charlie Murphy, president of Harvard University and Ann McGrath, author of How Much I Spent to Become a Member of the Honor Society, looked screamingly funny during their Apache Dance. Dot Nichols and Margie Hallsworth, both New York taxi-cab drivers, were on hand for the show. Crash- Slam-Bang-Estelle XVallis has arrived with her handsome husband Swoon boy La Crostra. The only substitution is in the part of Dot Glynn who is now a trigger-happy gun moll. As the cast was called back for its last curtain call, we realized that we were no longer Natick High seniors residing in Natick. We bid our classmates fare- well, and busses, planes, trains and cars are filled to capacity with the class of '45 retiring to their respective jobs throughout the world. 'Y 'T 4 OUR GOAL l The honieward stretch, the goal at last in sight, The goal toward which we worked with all our might. But now, dear Alma Mater, as the time grows short Each grievesg but silently he takes his place. Can we go on, prove worthy to those dead And those who die? Can we go on ahead? Vtfill they be with us, on their souls no mar, To help and comfort us, both near and far? Through your halls our laughter never more shall ring S0 let us now and evermore your praises sing. 11 Through years gone by we've been preparing for this day, NVe, who yesterday were children joyously at play, Are faced with problems yet unsolved. Can we bring peace? May hate forever be dissolved. Each lift his eyes to God in silent plea That he will help, however dark the road may be? And when at last the world is bright and gay, When men and women laugh and children happily may play, VVe, with faith in God, shall rule once more, And peace will soon again force wide her door.

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.
