PAULINE: What do you do, Eleanor? ELEANOR: Oh, I’m just a housewife now. I was a model for a short while, but better things came along. PAULINE: Uh huh! Well, I’m a dress designer for the Mademoiselle Shop in Wellesley. JUNE F.: I’ve seen your clothes advertised in New York papers. Pretty soon you won’t even know us, what with being so famous, and traveling everywhere! PAULINE: Speaking of traveling, th ey tell me that Kay Ritz has packed bag and baggage and left us for Delaware. 1 wonder what’s the attraction in the South? JUNE F. : Oh, she’s teaching kindergarten down there, among other things. KATY: I was talking to Gerry Morgan the other day. She ' s traveling with the Ballet Theatre as Prima Ballerina no less! She was on her way to Montana for a vacation with Jean Tiffany, who owns a huge ranch out there. PHEE B. : Now Jean can ride horses to her heart’s content. Say, what’s become of all the male members of the class? 1 know Jack Patterson’s still wolfing around, dating as only he knows how. It’ll take some girl to make him settle down! Katy G.: I guess the other fellows aren’t quite as active as the class wolf! I know that Marshall is a famous composer, because I heard one of his latest songs on the Hit Parade. I think that it was first. Remember the boogie-woogie he used to play? He was really good. I can’t imagine who his latest is, although I guess no one will ever know whom he goes with. John Beebe’s likewise original. He’s working on a speedy hair growth tonic. Remember that sharp crew cut of his back in ’45? PHEE B.: I guess John’s missed his golden locks, huh? Did you girls know that Henry Johnson finally took leave of Pop Sawyer and the lab? He’s a chemical engineer over in Europe. Watch out for those French girls, Henry! PAULINE: I always thought that Henry’d go places. Does anyone know whether Ken Turner is still around, or has he taken leave of our fair town, too? Bette T. : Looks as though he’s a second Walt Disney — he just created a new cartoon. He gets a new car about every mon th. Remember all the jalopies he used to wear out back in school? Oh, here comes Joanne. Hi, Jo. Joanne: I’m sorry that I’m late; I just came from the flying field. I own my own plane now. Where ' s the Lily Pons of our class, by the way? I was supposed to meet her at the field, but I thought that she’d probably come along without me. Nancy W. : Oh, you mean Georgia? She was probably too busy — or she will be along late as usual. You know, she has the leading role in La Boheme at the Metropolitan. JOANNE: I don’t see Gwen around. I’ll never forget the way she used to make baskets in gym! KATY G.: I’m thinking that she went back out West, in spite of what Mr. Cummings said about folks the other side of the Mississippi. What’s keeping the food? Let’s go see — it must be nearly ready by now. by Katy Gallagher and Alice Dolan. 18

LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT We, the class of 1945, of the town of Weston, Commonwealth of Massa¬ chusetts, being of sound minds and memories, do make, publish, and declare this to be our last will and testament, in matter and form as follows: To Mr. Rhoades and the faculty we, the class of 1945, give sincere thanks for their untiring efforts to equip us in every way for problems of the future. David Campbell leaves his wolfing (?) to Charlie Place, who so far re¬ mains untouched by this latest fad. Jean Tiffany leaves her love of horses to the Blimp.” They say horse¬ back riding is about as good as the DuBarry” salon. Jeanne Rogers leaves her amazing incomprehension of what’s going on around her to Buddy Clive. Sally Caffrey leaves the memory of those days when she came to school without a trace of make-up to Mikey Browning. Lorraine Comeau leaves her place in the Gondoliers” to Betty Lou Bolster. Joan Brouillette leaves her big hair bows to David Whelpley for his blond curls. Nancy Woodman leaves her knowledge of how and where to use ski boots, especially new ones, to John White. Jack Patterson leaves his ways (?) with the women to Gardner Brown. June Fiske leaves her fine penmanship to Myrtle Littlefield. Phyllis Brown leaves her Harvard accent to Moe.” Pauline Jacques leaves her ability to be seen and not heard to Joe Studley. Nancy Peakes leaves her will power in dieting to any poor unfortunate who’s tried and failed. Eleanor Walls leaves her ability to be inconspicuous to Lucy Leatherbee. Kenny King leaves his love of eating to Jack Martin, hoping he’ll grow out” a bit, as well as up.” Gwendolyn Gale leaves her sharpshooting to Dottie Sheehan—the com¬ bination of this with what she already has ought to make her a star player in years hence. Naomi Newell leaves her ability to keep up a good argument to Don McRae. Are we kidding? ? Kay Ritz leaves her long, curly hair to Lois Rinehart. Alice Dolan leaves her lack of conceit over her good looks to Jack Van Heest. 20
