M-11, This group was made up almost entirely of new-comers to Junior last September.

Berniece Hobson, now a nurse, writes that Abraham Packman is a clerk in Stix, Baer and Fuller, and that Norman Kirschbaum and Ray Millerbough have gone into partnership in a grocery and meat market. She also said that Woodford Lawrence is a prominent minister and Allan Becker a judge of the Circuit Court. Marie Dunford is teaching music, and Frances Egan is a gov- erness. Mary Ross is married now, and lives on Lindell Boulevard. David Clark is an architect. Isn't it remarkable how I have met and heard about so many of our old friends? Yours sincerely, Frances Davis.
