Marion Miars writes that she is a governess for Eleanor Lloyd and Bob's chil- dren and that Eleanor's and Bob's marriage is a great success because of Eleanor's pleasing agreeableness. Edna Quillman obligingly informed Mr. Pat that she was now the proprietress of nYe Quainte Tea Shoppew somewhere near Times Square and that Elizabeth Mr-- Cartney liked the dance hall business so well that she now owned a chain with Ray Maxson as her general manager. Ruth Ogdenis reputation preceded her answer to the advertisement, for she had combined her interest for art and typing and invented a machine which draws pic- tures as you press the keys. Mr. Pat found out from reliable sources that Rosemary O'Dowd was still waiting for Milton Wratten to pop the question. Ruth Pesto wrote a very amusing letter to Mr. Pat in which she stated that John Pesto was the new head of West Point and that she along with her husband ran a horse and dog farm just outside of New York City. And Mr. Pat further found out from miscellaneous sources that: Helen Sullivan, always interested in history, had married a man 35 years her senior. Luella Sprague was appearing in Watson's g'The Heart Breakerw in the Schnizzle- pritz Theater in San Francisco. Francis Van Slyke had just won the 500 mile auto classic at Indianapolis. Edward Tepolt had invented a one-wheeled motorcycle so it would not take as much petrol to run it as it did to run a two-wheeled one. Gertrude Zieres was teaching industrial arts at a very exclusive school. Hulda Zweifel was following in Florence Nightingale's footsteps but that she carried a flashlight instead of a lamp. Within six weeks Mr. Pat had received replies from all parts of the country and after a few straggling ones had finally come in, Mr. Pat was overwhelmed to find that he had received, if not a reply, at least information about every member of the Class of 738 of W. C. S. CLASS WILL We, the Graduating Class of 738 do hereby expound and put forth this, our will and testament. Stuart Allen leaves, with not much pleasure, Marjorie Loftus to whoever will have her.

It was fun while it lasted, wasnit it, Ted? Lester Chamberlain donates his height to Howell Hughes. Think youive got something there, Howell.

CLASS DIQDIDHECY For one week in the late spring of 1963 there was flashed across the country by all the wireless stations of the most outstanding cities of the U. S. A. and printed in the personal columns of the most outstanding newspapers, an urgent message made by a wealthy, but eccentric elderly gentleman. In part, it was as follows, MClass of ,38 of W. C. S., where are you all? Drop a line to me about what you are doing or let me know about the others. W. B. Pat, 410 Thurston Road, Rochester, N. Yf, Within twenty-four hours the gentleman was receiving response by mail, tele- graph, and even by his television-phone. Among the replies he received were these which follow: Mrs. Allen wrote that her husband, Stuart, had been named the champion potato grower in the country and that he owns a farm in Sangerfield. He is said to have raised potatoes of incomparable size. Mabel Angier, in her telegram to Mr. Pat, informed us that she was instructress in an exclusive girls, school located in Oneonta. One of the most outstanding students of our former senior class made a personal call on Mr. Pat and told him that he had received a contract as language teacher of Waterville .High School with Monsieur Wilcox as his faithful assistant, Billy is noted for his beautiful mots d amour which he utters to his female pupils. Due to the fact that Mr. Beha is vitally concerned with the grasshopper plague which is affecting every farmer throughout the country, he is unable to answer the message which Mr. Pat has sent. But his assistant writes that he is very successful as the head of the Department of Agriculture at Washington. We certainly hope that you are successful in doing away with the grasshopper plague, Don. Gertrude Lloyd and Emily Betzinger have retired after an outstanding career of singing and dancing in a French Casino and they have received part ownership of the Cafe. Our hero, Lester Chamberlain, who has successfully reached the top as champion prize-fighter need not reply to Mr. Pat's announcement, for his picture has covered the front page of every outstanding newspaper of the United States. Word has reached Mr. Pat that Isabelle Cichon is living in the very depths of the African jungle. Her soft voice is soothing to the natives. Mrs. Johnson, commonly known to her colleagues as Marion Day, is now in the midst of her term as governor of Texas. Show them your authority, Marion. By our recent means of communication, former Miss Norma Jane Evans sends the following message: My husband, Francis Jory, has been very fortunate this year in obtaining a medal declaring him champion of the orange growers of Californiaff Her husband, unbeknown to her, encloses the following statement about his wife, Norma: 'fln spite of all my persuading she persists in following her usual occupation of pros- pecting for goldf, Rachel Henry says that she is enjoying her married life in Morrisville with her husband 'tAl,,' or uDoc for short. Ramon Iles is now the only remaining individual who understands the Einstein Theory of Relativity. A clipping was received, by mail, stating that the temperamental actress, Phyllis Hinman, was residing at Beverly Hills and was said to have been the best dresser there. The manager of the International Basketball squad notified Mr. Pat that his team, Lynn Williams, Roger Jones, John Kelley, Robert Lally, and Donald Williams, had had a successful season and they wish to send their regards to the rest of the class of '38. Dorothy Beha writes that surely Mr. Pat realizes that she is the famous clarinet player on Uncle Lukeis EZZ Program. Frederick Helterlineis wife, Shirley, television-phoned that Freddy is a Supreme Court Justice and has all the police officers of the land at his beck and call. Mildred Klotzbach wired that she waited two years after graduation before she married George MacConnell and then settled down with him in the thriving metropolis of Deansboro. Roderick McLean wired that he had taken over the McLean Undertaking Parlors but that his favorite pastimes were the fairer sex and engineering.
