As we were walking down Huntington Avenue a very large building caught our eye. It was the Gilligan Motor Scooter Co. We decided to go in and see “Dag”, only to learn that she was having a vacation in France. Nearing Symphony Hall, we noticed large posters announcing Marie Kubik as the piano soloist that afternoon, which lured us inside. We wei ' e led to very comfortable seats by the head usher, John Loud. We ran into Andy Patterson during intermis ' sion and learned that our three ' engineers, Evelyn Jones, Bob Johnson, and he, were planning to rebuild the Weston High School Assembly Hall. He also told us that Mimi Sargeant had become such a cultured Bostonian that she was the head of the Watch and Ward Society and had banned Irene Havey ' s new play that was to have opened at the Schubert. (That was quite different from the praise Mimi gave to the new children’s book that Barbara Travis had illustrated.) Andy also told us that Joanne Ragan was on a tour of South America starring in her new play, and that Harriet Howell went along with her as Joanne’s Spanish interpreter. Andy said that Charlotte Cale was back in California and refused to move. The next day we decided to go to New York. We learned that Preston Maron was also an engineer; he was piloting our train. We went to the opera to hear Jay and Margaret, who were starring in Counod’s “Faust” at the Met. And Jay wasn’t Faust! After the performance we went backstage to see the stars, and met Frank Parson, New York’s most eligible bachelor, and most persistent Stage door Johnnie. Our last trip was to Europe. We had our ehoice of taking the Harold Coburn Steamship Lines or the airline where Connie Emory was chief stewardess. Since we were in a hurry to attend the Olympic games, we flew over, but, for the sake of peace, resolved to sail back. At the games we saw Lucy Leatherbee, cheerleader for the United States; Bunny Williams, director of a Unitarian workcamp; and Dot Sheehan, now medical secre¬ tary to Conrad Schofield, D.M.D. Oh yes, the United States won by ten points, thanks to Westie Blake’s winning the ski championship. Even after all these surprises, we were quite pleased with the outcome of our class. Sincerely yours. Judie Arnold, M.D. Williams Memorial Hospital

A Prophecy Dear Editor of Chanticleer, We were very pleased to learn that you intend to devote the alumni page of the next issue ol “Chanticleer” to the Class of 1947. It was quite a job to discover what some of the memhers of the class were doing, hut with a bit of sleuthing we managed to find almost everyone. We started by visiting dear old Weston High. Whom should we meet there but Susan Wiley, the assistant biology teacher. She told us the other classmates who were still in Weston were Rose Gage, who was happily married; Clyde Foote, who, with the help ol Warren Davis, the world- famous agronomist, had a prosperous farm; and Kelton Wagner, president of the Newt(Ui ' W.dtham Rank. From Weston we decided to take a bus to Fenway Park to see a game. We were rather surprised to find that Charlie Walls now owned the R. and W. Rus Fine. And what improvements he had made! He even had radios installed! We turned one on in time to hear the weather broadcast. Rut it wasn ' t E. R. Rideout who was re¬ porting- it was Tom Damon! Right after his broadcast, wc heard a Crooner Con¬ test. We nearly fell out of our seats when the winner was announced to be Gordon Desmond. Then came the big surprise. We heard a very frightening voice say, “Welcome to the Inner Sanctum this is Simpson, your h( ' st.” Wc hurriedly turned the radio off. booking out the window, wc noticed a sign that said “This Way to Murphy General Hospital and Miss Flint ' s Nursery School.” Wc got out at Kcnmorc and arrived at Fenway Park in time to obtain good scats. The first batter from the Yankee team w.is up, none other than Tony Mclonc. The pitcher who struck him out was Charlie “Himself” Place. After that anything could happen. And it did! Wc turned around to see Carol Saurwein yelling, “Get your ice cream, peanuts, and score cards here!” We escaped from Fenway Park as quickly as possible. Deciding to look around Roston, wc wadked down St. James Street, by the John Hancock Fife Insurance Company, only now it was the Upham Fife Insurance Com¬ pany. We turned back and walked down Newbury Street and passed two very dis¬ tinguished dress shoppes. One belonged to Retscy Shaw, and the other to Retsy Van- Hecst. We hear that Irma Gilson, the millionairess, buys all her clothes at one or the other instead of at the Touraine Shop. Retween these two stores was the Compton School of Modeling.
