Time Will Tell There it was--big as life. Editor and Art Director, Danny Fisher ! I felt pretty proud to know that he had been in my graduating class back at Sutton High. He had been successful in life and that set me to wonder- ing about my other classmates. The answer? ? a renuion! First, I called Danny and told him how I had gotten the idea. He im- mediately liked the idea and promised to bring along another classmate, Sylvia Desjourdy. Much to my surprise she was head of the reporting department on Danny’s staff and doing nicely. A frequent contribution to the Science section of the same magazine was Howard Watson. He spent much of his time working on scientific problems. The next group of girls was easy to contact. All were doing out- standing work at leading hospitals in the country. Carol Johnson was head nurse at the Children’s Hospital in Boston and doing a splendid job. Phyllis Marble was a laboratory technician at the newly established Sutton Memorial Hospital. The head secretary and receptionist at this same hospital was Marcia Bjork who practiced some nursing in her spare time. The girls were glad for the chance to see all their old friends so they all set out in Marcia’s new Cadillac. Finding George Thibodeau was easy, as he had recently put the fin- ishing touches on my modern ranch home. Billy Chase was his able as- sistant doing the cabinet work. Their Modern Home Construction Com- pany was nationally known. Not far away at Springfield College was Hazel Whittier. I remem- bered how much she liked sports so it would be no surprise to her class- mates when they learned her job was head physical education instructor at the college. Our boy athlete in the Class of ’53, Lanny Goodwin, was playing professional basketball with the Celtics.

By writing to WBZ-TV, I got in touch with Vera Eaton. She was delighted at the opportunity to take a vacation from her busy schedule of dance lessons on TV and come to our reunion. Her “Vera” studios were outstanding for their fin e job in teaching children to dance. Two of the secretaries at the studio were Marilyn Swart and Janet Lawrence, also eager to come. Charlene Gravelin, the wealthy wife of a rancher who lived in W yoming, came in her new station wagon. Her tan and photos of her two beautiful children were admired by Ronnie Gibson. Ronnie enjoyed his job as an electrical engineer at General Motors Corporation. On the way Charlene picked up Evelyn Rivernider who had left her three sons with her husband while she made the trip. From there they went to the airport in Worcester to meet Gale Johnson. Gale was taking time out from her modeling duties to be with the class again. Because her husband was overseas and wouldn’t be able to take care of her two children, she left them at her mother’s house. Meanwhile they had stopped at Raymond Smith’s Garage and Used Car Lot in Sutton to see if he would like to ride with them. He accepted and they all set out for Sutton High where they were to meet the other mem- bers of the class. Joan and I? ? ? Well, I am very happily married with a part time secretarial job. Joan is a head nurse at Massachusetts General Hospital and very happy with her work. Having everyone here for a reunion was a splendid idea. It is sure nice seeing everyone again and talking over old times. I’m sure our re- union is the best ever. Jane Cote Joan Godbout
