While wandering down ChesTnuT STreeT The oTher day, ducking frequenTIy To avoid The woman heIicopTer drivers, I began To wonder whaT had happened To all The A.I.S. seniors of I947 while I had been invesTigaTing The problems of The world. Much as I haTed To admiT iT aT leasT fifTeen years since Those wonderful days aT Irwins had passed and I knew ThaT Things musT have changed greafly. The TirsT Thing ThaT I noTiced on reTurning To Philadelphia was The moderniza- Tion of The enTire ciTy, and, my curiosiTy aroused, I decided To explore one of The Town's biggesT deparTmenT sTores. Passing one of The large show windows, I noTiced Nancy WeTherbee decoraTing a new display. Upon making furTher inquiries, I found Tho+ she had become one of PhiIadelphia's leading designers. Wondering if The resT of The class had done as well, I enTered The sTore. I was compIeTeIy overcome by The modern design and wandered around for several minuTes, sTaring aT all The gadgefs like a child making his firsT visiT To a Toy sTore. Coming somewhaT ouT of my daze, I recognized Sally Cox surrounded by her brood of Ten children, who were all Talking aT once. I rushed To speak To her and found ThaT she was buying some Edu- caTionaI Socks which, she Told me, were kniTTed by Priscilla Ball. Pris had goT The idea of kniTTing physics formulae inTo her Argyle socks and, apparenTIy, she was making a forTune from Them. Sally Told me ThaT Phebe DrayTon had a iob in a Travel bureau and was sending everyone To Saranac. We always knew Phebe would do someThing To puT Saranac on The map. The oTher half of our Twins-Bessie-had doubled The family record, and was now happily raising a family of quadrupIeTsl Leaving Sally I made my way To The cosmeTic deparTmenT where I found ThaT Helen Jusfi had iusT opened a new salon which specialized in UITra-JusTi make-up. Louise Givens came in To congraTuIaTe Helen, and was receiving congraTulaTions her- self, for having developed eIecTricaIly heafed school uniforms which are giving The Irwin girls more comforT Than she ever enjoyed on cold days. Louise Told me ThaT Ello Keady was making life easier for The modern Irwin girls, Too. Apparenfly, Ello has invenTed an eIecTric demeriT sysfem, which is saving The Secrefary of The ExecuTive CommiTTee unfold hours of figuring and correcTing. I saw Kay STewarT walking by Helen's salon modeling a new hair sTyIe called an ear-do. IT looked perfecf wiTh Kay's pixie ears and lovely hair. Passing The noTions counTer on The way ouT of The sTore, I noTiced an adverTisemenT which read Buy a Warder Calendar: The Calen- dar ThaT Adorns Walls ThroughouT The CounTry. ApparenTly, AniTa had noT losT her Touch, for The calendars were going like hoTcakes. By The Time I had IeT+ The sTore, I was Thoroughly impressed wiTh The success of The girls in our class who had sTayed around Philadelphia, buT I wondered whaT had happened To Those who had lefT The home Town. I felT ThaT The besT way To cafch up on all The news was To buy several papers and read Them from cover To cover, I seTTled in one of The comforTabIe easy chairs in The new park and sTarTed To read. On The fronT page I read of The poliTicaI campaigns of Barbara GunTer and Marian Decherf who were running for The posT of CiTy Canine CoIIecTor. I gaThered from The conTenTs ThaT These Two girls were confinuing The long argumenTs which began P, 28 IIIASS
