ed nurses training she started making so much money she couldn't handle it all, so she invested in a chain of florist shops. Dauphine got interested in flowers while working at Thomas' greenhouse. She got an obsession 'for green carnations then, but now its blue roses. Shall we go over and say hello to David Lanphere? lt seems that Dave is still having a hard time finding the right girl. Dave is quite successful in running a very elaborate barber shop in Anna- wan. He takes a vacation every summer and goes to the different summer resorts hoping to find the one. This summer he is going 'to Palm Springs for three months. We're wishing you luck, Dave. While we are on this side of the ship, we can stop and have a chat with Roberta Friend. Roberta is really going places in the nursing profession. She was made superintendent of the Lord Have Mercy On Us Hospital. The other day Roberta was interviewed by a newspaperman and she told him she owes much of her strength to not have to beat egg whites in home ec. class at old SHS. The tall blonde lady standing over by the big gun is Miriam Armstrong. Miriam became quite famous overnight when she discovered a cure for nicotine-fev- er. She took time out from her latest ex- periment, which is finding a cure for Irish Distemper, to come today. Miriam says that at the rate she's going she will be able to retire in comfort in 50 more years. Hello, Marilyn. The redhead we iust said hello to is Marilyn Madsen. Marilyn is a home ec. teacher at the Brain and Brawn high school. She says that teaching home ec. is more fun than it ever was. One thing that astonishes Marilyn is that she has to use only one recipe to make some- thing, instead of six. Isn't research won- derful? See that fellow over there with the big cigar in one hand. Well, he happens to be George Whoost Van Loo, a big busi- ness executive. He owns a big business called Whoost's Atomic Bubble Gum. George's wife, Julie, works in his office as a secretary because he has a hard time keeping a girl on the iob. They usually find George so attractive that they can't work and he has to fire them. George has interest in quite a few busi- nesses and is sponsoring a cigarette that is longer and smokeless, and which is netting him 520,000 a year. That dark haired girl standing there talking to George is Jackie Thomas. Jackie has become a world famous aviatrix by making a 'round the world trip in her helicopter, the Doodle Bug. Jackie now owns three flying schools of her own. The biggest one is located at Sheffield. Jackie said one thing she doesn't have to worry about while flying is speeding and going around corners. 'Well, here comes Dick Swede Cole our way. Dick is still a bachelor as far as we can find out. Dick has gained quite a name for himself as an aeronautic en- gineer. Dick iust designed a rocket ship which he named the Sheffield Zoom. He says when it reaches the moon the people will know about Sheffield any- way. As our trip around deck is nearly com- plete, we happen to notice one more celebrity. It is the famous soprano, Patsy Hull. Patsy has just finished a show at the Croak and Gargle Opera house in Hollywood. She is now at leisure reclin- ing on a chaise lounge and enjoying a cool refreshing coke. As our trip around the deck is com- pleted we can see the sun sinking in the west. And so ends another day in the lives of the Class of '49. lt is a day that they can well remember and tell their children and grandchildren about in later years.
