I-l Tl-Ili SASSAMON After eating a hardy meal of heans, t'I'ommy wasn't a very good eookj, Pete hrought us to the village where we refueled and headed again for lloston. Aniong the people we met at the airport in lloston were fume! lluffemiy, head of Veterans .-Xdministration in lloston. Her secretary, .llurgurel .S'turk reported she was always on the go. Lou Slltllllltl, mayor of lloston was another, He stood talking to Nulfilz lfiylioli' who ran Hialeah Race Track. lfager to return to Natick we jumped in a cali operated hy tfzmlon Taylor and were whisked to the railway station. l,e.rter l,elunu', memher of the lioston lied Sox, was surrounded hy a moh waiting to get his autograph. :Xinong these were lrrm' ,S'ellur.v, liive and 'l'en heir- ess 1 fum' .SiliHt'ltIl.I', psychologist 3 Jolnz 7iIiI7I7l'f.k', noted accountant of the lncoine 'l'ax llivision of the Federal Government and many more. Hur train had come. .-lle.rc111f1'er Clzrroll took our tickets as we hoarded the train. We found John Driscoll and llozfylux Dnuiz, tired huisness men, reading the stock market quotations. We never thought we'd see the day! Also on the train were Jllurvv .lluillliot and .IQHIIVS Clzulu who have just received a fortune for designing a new eover for lierry's Dog Food. lt's the Berries! Hilly was most generous and they looked happy indeed. Harliuru .S'j2inc1:0lcz and lfurlzuru 'l'orrr-V, teachers at Katherine flihhs, were dis- cussing the good fortune that Viola Urine and litll'IItll'll ljtlfkfl' had enjoyed in their new dress shop. Home at last after a hreath-taking tonr we had many interesting and amusing items to relate. This phase of our journey is ended, And our struggles have not been in vain. For 'we came, we saw, and we eonquered,' That which has long been our gain. C,xieo1,vN Piiiaeii, JOAN Biir,L, ELIC-'XNOR Mustnesxvu.

THE SASSAMON 15 management of Oresfcx Frungoulis and George Arflzur. Ruth told us that she had covered the second honeymoon of Kay Fair' and Shirley Foss, who were two of the happiest married couples in New York. She also remarked on ffllllt' 1.1,-zu1'y'.r success in the Broadway hit, Better Faithful than Famous, which had enjoyed a three-year run. We couldn't leave New York without stopping off at Coney Island, the pi-or man's paradise. XYhile crossing on the ferry we came across Fl'lIlIt'li.S' SfllIt'UlIt' who captained the boat. He said that the number of people from Natick, whom he had run across was amazing, Only last week, Gerry Tlionnis, governor of Massachu- setts, and his competent secretary, Hiirluiru Hrv.s'xc, had visited him. The boardwalk was as crowded as we had suspected it would be, but we dis- covered four classmates lolling about the beach. Lurruim' Hirflz, ,lime lelorgloz, Nancy Cliasf' and .wlnn Arnold were engrossed in a letter they had just received from Eileen Rogers who was head nurse at the Cf R. Hrz'gys' Hospital in Chicago. Charlie's name as the head of a hospital surprised us, but Eileen's letter explained that on a trip to Alaska he had discovered a cure for growing pains. Surely a dis- covery such as this rated the reward he received. Uther Natick girls Eileen men- tioned were .llury Szvemzcy, head of the Children's XYard, Guin' Cillllllllfllfji, tfrtzrt' Lcgvc, R050 StIf'Z'LIfli, and Helen .S't'ln'z1fv1c. Leaving the girls to their reading we strolled through the Amusement Park. Ihwirl Hiirker arrested our attention as he proclaimed the wonder of the Aerial Act put on in the main tent. The Kelly Team, Florwzcc and 'I'l1m't'.vt1, were the stars. The tight-rope artist was .lladclimf E110 who played the accordian upside down all through the act. The same tent .-featured palm reading by lfniziislizz 1fU5t'lIf7IlI'g. .elim Cutter and .llary Cole came out as we entered. Frank was a wonder! He told us we would take a trip. lt was really very amazing. XYe were practically on the last leg of our trip from New York to Hoston to Natick. Un the way we encountered difficulties, the worst of which was a storm. A forced landing was necessary and we thought we had surely come to the end of all trips. XYe landed in a large snowdrift. Uur pilot's calculations judged us to be in the Catskill Mountains. Groping through the drifts we were shocked to find a large sign proclaiming this Cat Hill and not the Catskills. Was this possible or was our mind playing tricks on us? Going a bit further we stumbled upon a small cabin with Cat Hill Gang on the door. Opening it we were stunned to see Tom Qzfirlr, B011 Fair, lfuddy Potter, Hob Ht1l'lfI'Ilff, Pete Prescott and .lrtliur Clistizmizif seated around a table eating. After talking over old times they gave us their story. Meeting much competition because of their butch haircuts and beards they had effected, they resolved to leave the world behind and live alone. Tom Quirk was chief cook and Bob Fair, head housekeeper. liuddy l'otter and Bob Harding were working on a formula to perpetuate youth. Caz and Pete were the only ones that had any touch with civilization. Once a month they took the dog sled and team down to a village to obtain supplies.
