fn ' ' ' ' Betty Gilliland, a telephone operator and inventor of a new mouthpiece for people with long noses. Roger Cash is filling his fatheris shoes, although they are a wee bit tight for him. Anne Chernoff is now writing the 'gAdvice to the Lovelornn column in the Brookfield Eyeopener. Elton Dornburgh has succeeded in reaching his goal. He now is the head of the A. Xa P. stores with an entire female staff. Mary Dutton is earning her living as a knob twister in an automat. She says itis loads of fun and so much easier than cafeteria Work. Robert Brady is now a cowboy tenor over the radio, endorsing Pansy Perfumes. Catherine Roberts is now Mrs. Cowen. When I arrived at their home I found Bill asleep in a hammock, and Catherine doing all the work. This seems to be a very happy marriage-for Bill. Henry Blair was found on board a liner in Hawaii. Hank is enjoying life and has a girl in every port. Phyllis Thomson is now a hospital attendant-nertz, I mean Hnursen to you, Roger. Floyd Volkman, my dear friend Watson, has just invented a Hair Re- storer for the Upper Lip. I believe Floyd has something there. Florence Austin, now Miss Nitsua, an Indian poetess, explains that she changed her name because she was so backward. Robert Kelsey, now the manager of the Museum of Modern Arts in Singapore. Anne Thomson, now Mrs. Lewis, is modeling streamlined dresses for a swanky Fifth Avenue shop in her spare time. ,Iimmie Steele, now a mathematical genius who is trying to teach his rabbits to multiply. How you doin', Molassesfw Nellie Munroe has just opened a tavern in the North Brookfield hills. I ate dinner there when I called on her and noticed that business was very good. I decided that it must be the food that made her famous. Richard Hughes was found, with the aid of my glasses, on leave of ab- sence from Germany where he has been teaching the goose step to Hitlerls troops. Betty Townsend. I used a confederate to locate Betty. Ray is pretty good at this thing. She is now the janitress in a certain beautiful apartment house in Utica. Roger Barnes was hard to locate, but I finally found him as manager of the largest dairy farm in Brookfield-the big cow-herd. Thelma York recently played in the N. Brookfield production of 'iWife vs. Secretaryf, William Butler is still collecting milk bills in Williamsburg. How's business, Willie? Betsy Nisbet is a designer of bizarre coiffures for Hollywood. Every design comes from her own head. Henry Waterman is, as I predicted, in West Edmeston. ltls a shame that these old maids pick on him, but why doesnit he end it all and marry one of them? Charles Zalvis now plays an eighteen string guitar, so it sounds three limes as bad as the six string one. Richard Lewis is chief manager of Lewis, Lumber Company. That's using the old head, Dick. Horace Westcott is head of the Treasury Department of the United States. Known as the greatest Secretary of Treasury since Alexander Hamilton! As for me, your Honor, l am still in the same business-monkey business.

Mary Dutton have excelled in varsity basketball. Other athletic ability has been displayed by Elton Dornburgh, Floyd Volkman, William Butler, Robert Kelsey, Roger Cash, and Elmo Burlingame, who have participated in soccer, l aseball, track, and tennis. Many members of the class have made a showing of their athletic ability by taking part in gym exhibitions and intramural and interclass sports. Some members possess stage, scientific, and musical talent, while others belong to the Academic Union staff, Student Council, and Fu- ture Farmers' Organization. The senior play, uPeg O7 My Heartf, and the Senior Showboat were both huge successes and the best is yet to come, the senior ball. Our twelve years of school career are brought to a close. lt has been our constant aim to secure diplomas, so we have worked steadily and wisely from the bottom, overcoming obstacles which stood in our path, until we have reached the top. We know not what the future has in store for us, but we are ready to go out into the world and do our best. Richard Hughes, Historian.
