-3 In the evening edition dated June 1, 1967, Mary Ann Burton, traveling reporter for the NEW YORK TIMES, brings a special report on the graduating class of 1957. The most frequently mentioned name in the society columns is the wealthy philanthropist, Peggy Nor- ton, currently residing at her exclusive manor in upper Maine. Miss Norton, according to the columnists, still has difficulty trying to re f rain from giggling while attending teas. Also among the aristocratic is Sharon HoHman, who recently was elected one of the world's ten best dressed women. She is now mak- ing a tour of France where she plans to revise Dior's conception of the hip. Also abroad are mo of her former classmates, Beverly Harju and Marge Harnell, who have made the big decision of their lives. While in Italythey became so fascinated with the Italian hair cut that they dyed their hair black and are now modeling for the Italians. Speaking of traveling--Pat Myre's lust for tra ve l and adventure, which was instilled in her as a child,prompted her to make a journey around the world on her bicycle. The one obstacle to fast transportation was the oceanic currents. Diane Beatty and Jon Keye are in England. Hav- ing attained the heights of her profession, Diane is currently modeling crowns for Queen Elizabeth. Jon has been doing a splendid job in London, the U. N. lent him to the English to assist in the revision of the parliamentary procedures and to find a more economical way to change the guards . While on the sub- ject of governments, a record has been set in Congress by a lady senator, Miss Margaret Forsman. Mar- garet has beenviolentlyopposing the passage of a billwhich would allow Fatties Anonymous tobe exempt from the anti-trust laws and has now the distinction of filibustering for the longest period in the history of Congress. It is rumored that the U.N. is also considering another of our former classmates, Rodney Nelson, for a position as a diplomatic courier to Australia. Ifthis is true, Rodney will retire from the task of leading jungle safaris in order to accept the assignment. Lonnie Golen is now Commander-in- Chief of the NATO forces occupying Tibet. He is expected to be transferred soon to the remote island of Pago-Pago. Our class ranks high in the field of fashion as well as foreign affairs. Barb Jugasek is editor of one of the country's leading fashion magazines and is at present perfecting the majorette uniform. Other names found in the fashion magazines are those of Roger Brayden and Carl Cullen. After being selected most handsome, Roger decided to make use of his gift. He appears in all the Seventeen ads as the boy friend . Carl has made use of his masculine build by acting as a model for men's suits. However, his agent is having difficulty in restraining Carl from wearing bright orange cords in his advertisements. Setting the pace in hair styles is Karen Kehtel, a beautician and hair stylist in the Madame Fi-Fi Salon in New York City. The experiments that Karen perfomxed while in high school were of great value to her. It is astonishing how many of the class of '57 chose the world of music. Carolyn Carlson has become the foremost star of the Metropolitan Opera House, she will be appearing on Max Leibman's T. V. spec- tacular this week. Mr. Leibman is presenting a classic opera entitled Manhunt in which Miss Carlson portrays the hunter. John Gannucci is appearing on television as the feature accordionist in the Lawrence Welk Orchestra. As a side line he directs his own dance band which is well known as The Swiveled Stripes . And did you know that Melvin Lindquist, concert pianist, has become world renowned for his melodious rendition of the works of Bach, but is considering retirement in order to fulfill his desire to de- sign cars? This inspiration came from the success of the rod he designed in his high school daze , Victor Breemeersch is rehearsing for his performance at Carnegie Hall, where he is to conduct his own composition entitled Blackberry Mountain . Victor has employed Pat Norland as the world's first music stenographergshe takes notes in shorthand. The fine clarinet player that you hear' during the introduc- tion on the Mickey Mouse Club is Charlene Sedor, who is working her way up the ladder as a mouseke- teer. Charlene is also a featured speaker at the annual clinic for the Reed Institute in Chicago. One of the outstanding dance band leaders of the day is Ronald Barlow. He is featured on the bass as his band plays that famous interpretation of Normal , Ronald has employed Donald Perrill as his private dance instructor. It is Don's duty to learn all the newest in dances and, in turn, teach them to all the patrons at the nightclub. Three of our classmates chose sports as a life-time interest. They are JoAnn Moran, Skip Fontaine, and Richard Maki. JoAnn, our girl athlete, was recently honored as the woman athlete of the year. After capturing the highest honors at the Olympics for many consecutive years, she has retired to become the world's first musical coach. She soothes the nerves of her trainees by playing after-beats on her French horn. Skip Fontaine, our basketball great, has gone into professional basketball and is now coach of the New York Knickerbockers. Skip's words of wisdom to his players are, Do a Skip . Another hero from the class of '57 is Dick Maki. Besides playing on a professional football team, he is the head of a man- ufacturing company which makes economy-size football helmets. Ma ny of our friends are now employed by NBC-TV. The celebrated Shakespearean actress, Corinne Robertz, has recently retired from acting to accept a position as director of Boing Boing School . This has been her secret ambition since her baby sitting days in high school. During the station breaks of Corinne's show, Ruth Sather comes on with a commercial for the Bobble 's Bubbilie Wubbilie Bubble Bath Company. She attributes her success to her speech class training during her senior year. John Peterson is advertising Briten-Em-Up tooth paste on several of the top television programs. However, we under- stand that there has been some complaintthat John's dimples are claiming more attention than the tooth paste. While engaged in research for the manufacturing of a solution to give everyone naturally curly hair, Kenneth Kohs was involved in a slight accident with some fluids. Nothing serious happened,but poor Ken is temporarily bald. Susan Granmoe, another laboratory worker, has finally invented a product which guarantees immunity from blushing. She is still frantically searching for a cure for red hair. Dr. David W. J. May has given the world one of its greatest scientific contributions, after extensive research under

Fach time Ken roars by, Dr. Sharm Parsons looks up from behind her stacks of books with disgust at the noise and sighs. How will sh e ever complete her book entitled The Revision of Einstein's 'I'heory of Relativity if this noise persists?
