The Magic Carpet of The Sultan tary schools, who tells us that our old friend Carolyn Murphy, Miss America of 1960, now has her own T.V. show produced and directed by Bruce Childs. On the show Velma Robinson, Aim Marie Pooler, and Ellen Keiser model fashions designed by Mary Aikens. Miss Aikens' designs are also featured at Saks Fifth Avenue which is run by Edna Dewey. Outside we hear a crash, and then the tinkle of glass. Turning around we see George Thew Q up to his old tricksj just climbing out of his high powered sports cal. XfVe recall the time back in 1957 when George paid a similar visit to Mr. Turner. He seems unhurt and comes over to tell us about his chain of repair garages located all across the country, and we find that three of our classmates . . . Paul Murphy, Michael Santos, and Don WVyman, are assisting George with his business. We decide to go to New York City by way of Bos- ton. As we fly over Fenway Park, we hear the crowd wildly cheering Leonard Rogers of the Red Sox, as he wins the game with a home run. Then they cheer Victor Wiinikainen for pitching his sixteenth no-hitter of the season. We've learned that several of our former classmates are working at Massachusetts General Hospital, so we decide to fly over and see them. We find Marcia Vieira at the main desk, and she tells us that Peter Field is the head surgeon at the hospital and has just performed a life-saving operation. He was assisted by Roberta Cohen and Lois Mandelstam. Other nurses at the hospital are Irene Boykin, chief thera- pist, Ann Lovell, head of the Children's Department, and Frances Swift, Director of Nursing. As we take off from the hospital, we pass a few more of the old gang in a Trans World jetstream air- liner. Captain Nicki Niles heads his crew of three . . . Albert Howe, co-pilot, Barbara Doherty and joan Botello, hostesses. Looking in the windows we can see among the passengers Nancy Hall, Cormac Dillon, and Irwin Rovner. VVe've read in the newspapers about fl summit conference in Cairo, and we suspect that is where our trio of famous statesmen is headed. Arriving in New York, we park our carpet and take a cab to Madison Square Garden where Laurel Adams and Carol Clough are performing in the 1978 World Rodeo. During intermission, the General Man- ager of the Garden, james Terpos, reminds the au- dience of next week's attraction . . . the 50th Annual Sports Car Rallye featuring Barbara Lane and joan Hansberry. We know, of course, that Francis Alex- andre and Paul Anderson are Barbara and joan's mechanics. From the Garden we go down to the United Na- tions and take a guided tour which takes us to a conference between the United States Ambassador, Patricia johnson, and the Spanish Ambassador. Elsie Amado is Miss johnson's interpreter. Leaving the U.N., we decide to stop in at the Madison Avenue office of Maijais agent, Donald Bearse, to check on the opening date of Maija's new play. Donnie says he has a surprise for us so we all head for Birdland . . . and who should be there but n . ,,,,,,. , . L-.. ,MAL--...

After saying goodby to our friends, we head south, stopping in Washington, D. C. to pay a visit to Leslie Haskins, Secretary of State, and her assistant, Char- leen johnson. Still farther south . . . in Florida . . . we stop at Cypress Gardens where Karen is signed up for an- other water skiing engagement after we finish our tour. WVe forgot to mention that Karen is the world's champion water skier. Flying over Pensacola Naval Air Base, we duck our heads as Gordon Libbey and Charlie Georgales take off in a supersonic jet. Following them, we find ourselves heading northward. As we sail over the blue grass of Kentucky, we drop in at the Woodland Farms . . . Betty Woodland's thoroughbred horse breeding and training farm. Louise Michelson and Susan Leach are out training two of Betty,s newest colts. David Rudden goes galloping by . . . he's Betty's top jockey. Heading west, we stop off at Sun Valley, Idaho where Don Richards and Bob Lebel are running a

NVe, jessica, Karen, Maija, and Carolyn, in the year 1978, have been designated by the Genie to fly our magic carpet around the world in order that we may see what our former classmates have been up to. R Off to our right the clouds part, and we see Duncan Smith zooming by in his rocket the Smithnik on his way to the moon. Our magic carpet is equipped with a radio, and Duncan tells us that he has just taken'off from Leach's proving grounds in Marstons Mills, where Ross Anderson, Earle Chase, and Dan Leach, 'in- ventors of the Smithnik's fuel, are waiting to hear the outcome of Duncan's expedition. As we descend toward Cape Cod we decide we are hungry, so we stop in at our old haunt . . . Turner's . . . which is now owned and operated hy Bill Hamblin. Shirley jackson, Helen Higgins, and Jeanne LaPlante are doing a fine job as waitresses there. Bob Cross, Randy johnson, Walter Hundertmark, and George Kalweit stop in while we are at Turner's and tell us that they are co-owners of the Cape Cod Landscape Service, and have just finished landscap- ing the beautiful summer home of the famous artist Josephine Riedell, who is illustrating Dorothy Dolan's latest novel. Next door to Turner's is one of Dorothy Mac- Donaldis beauty salons . . . this one managed by Linda Roderick. Dorothy's other salons are run by Alice Beaumont, judy Soares, Carolyn Duarte, and Theresa Shiverick. In the salon we renew acquaintance with Mary Sue Rivers, superintendent of the Cape Cod elemen- 53

T Also on vacation is Doctor john Ireland, head of one of New York's leading medical centers. We say goodbye to our friends and fly toward the Pacific, landing on the Hawaiian Islands. One of the largest hotels at Waikiki Beach is owned by Dennis Sullivan. We spend the night at the hotel, and the next day on the beach we find more of our famous pals. Judy McClusky, radio and T.V. star is enter- taining Maureen Woodruff, ex-tennis champion, Pat Houle and Pauline Peters, star members of the Olym- pic Team, and Helen Ryder, Homemaker of the Year. All of a sudden, out of the water pops a submarine with Paul White at the helm. Paul expects to become an admiral in a few weeks and is training David Botello to take his place. Leaving Hawaii, we head out over the Pacific again . . . taking a long ride through the clouds to Africa . . . where we find Debby Bearse and Barbara DeMoranville, medical missionaries, in the middle of a dense jungle. Debby and Barbara have started a hospital in the jungle . . . and Lee Shields and Sally Daniels are their nurses. From Africa we head toward the Riviera and stop at McDonough's Sport Shop . . . Michael McDon- ough's that is . . . where Carolyn takes some fashion notes to send back to two of her writers . . . Anne Cross and Jayne Hayden. Carolyn is now the editor of Vogue. We stop for dinner in Cannes at a night club where Dennis Bisbee is appearing. Dennis sings a few numbers and then joins our party. Glancing around the dining room we see still more of our friends . . . Gail Phillips and jack Sweeney. They come over to our table and tell us that jack is a lead- ing fashion photographer in Europe and Gail is one of his top models. The next morning we meet jack at his studio . . . and still another old classmate turns up . . . janet Coggeshall, jack's receptionist. Around the world is our motto, so we head toward England, with a stopover in Paris. Our tour of the city leads us to the Sorbonne where Patricia Crosby is teaching French, and Madge Converse is teaching Physics. At the top of the Eiffel Tower we find Barbara Baker, Anne Elliott, Maryellen jones, and Corrine Montcalm . . . four gals who have become officers in the Women's Air Force. Speaking of the Air Force . . . they tell us that Kathy O'Brien is holding down the home fort as president of the Officers' Wives Club at Otis. On across the English Channel we fly . . . landing near the American Embassy in London where Pa- tricia Tobin, our ambassador, and her secretary, janet Larivee, have their headquarters. , Naturally, ambassadors have bodyguards, and Pat's turn out to be Francis Twitchell and David White. Pat's chaffeur, joseph Santry, drives us all to the airport where we meet Gwen Phillips, Linda Cotell, and Diane Perry, three of our senators who are on a good-will tour of Britain. We ask them what's been happening since we left, and they say not much except that Beverly Skende is in the middle of her campaign . . . she's running for President . . . and Bertha DeGrace, Carole Kearn- ey, and Lillian Kelley have just been elected to the Barnstable School Committee. We count up the number of names on our list and find that all have been accounted for except one . . . jessica McEvoy.
