Brom9ieL5l Beacon nere? When 1 turned, to my surprise I saw Marie St. John standing there. She hadn't changed much since our graduation from Bromfield School fifteen years ago. She told me that her husband was still in the Navy and at present was off on a cruise, so she was filling in her time at the hospital. When I learned that Frank wasn't hurt seriously, Pam and I started on our journey homeward. That evening, as I talked my day's experiences over with my husband, I remarked that it was strange that I should run across all my old school- mates. He agreed that it was very unusual. Presently, I began to make plans for a class reunion, which would be held at my h-ome. Before the evening was over, I had sent a letter to every one of my classmates who had graduated with me from Bromfield School, setting a date for our re-union. The rest of the evening, I spent looking through all my old scrapbooks, dreaming of my school days. - Lois A.
