She also leaves one standard order for tea at din- ner. Phyllis Simpson leaves her voice to the Glee Club and that bright smile and personality to all future lntensives. Marilyn Shapiro leaves her motto ot a new hair style every day . We thank you tor all the new ideas. l-lelen Grimes leaves her clashy plaids and bright colors to all those who dare not wear them. Shirley Kenner leaves a cheery disposition to all on-takers. Some people might take a hint and cheer up. Gladys Fermanian leaves as quietly l?l as she came. We know the teachers will appreciate the calm and quiet that will follow. Johanna Winter leaves her tall stature to some shrimp , She was rather reluctant about part- ing with it, though, INTENSIVE Will Therese l-lolland leaves her debonair airs. The transition from socks to stockings shouldn't be too hard tor her. Marilyn Gorman refuses to leave that hat, and we can't seem to blame her. What the Cate needs is more ot those around! Betty Wordell leaves and Mrs Doe loses a dinner companion. And a rather quiet one at that. Vera Ujhely leaves-and we hope for the bet- ter-from her experience at College, Eda Calcagni leaves quietly. She'll make the perfect secretary. Marion Lovely leaves her marks and work to some poor freshman. Oh well, we all can't be smart. Jo Naumowitz, the serious end ot the class, leaves with the dignity befitting her. Angelina Zontrillo, having just become an ln- tensive, just leaves. ln witness hereot, We, the Intensive Secretarial Class ot l943, ot Bryant College, hereunto set our hand and seal this sixth day ot August, one thousand nine hundred and torty-three.

SECRETAIQIAI. E? I ll c lfi Prophecy j f . heavens, there's the overture, and that's our cue. Golly, Ann just stepped on her gown. If I should ever fall, I guess I'd die! Another step and it's mine-to have and to hold-a genuine B.S.S.-a slip of paper in ex- change for two long years of study, but it's going to be my passport through life. As I turn, a sea of eager, sympathetic faces beams its approval , faces of parents, benefactors, friends, classmates. My classmates. I can ac- tually picture them years from today. Oh, the mike cord! l'm falling! l'll never live this down! DARKNESS. l'm not seeing stars, I'm seeing ducks, Long Island ducks, thousands of them. Of course, Ann Shubert is the Duck Magnate lno cjuacks pleasel. And Bette Wetherbee is the energetic editor of the American Contest Syndicate She spon- sors everything from small town lotteries to mil- lion-dollar prize contests, Mary Maggiacomo is heiress of the Cranston Loan Company. Do you want a pretty penny? At Majoc's you will have many! AI Zervis is certainly doing all right as Jun- ior Art Editor of ESQUIRE. Believe me, the censor is no friend of his. I-lelen Plewa is better than ever at the type- writer. She is a fleet-fingered exhibitionist who can tap out anything from a jig to a champion's timed writing. A sailing we will go with Dottie Arigoni, the seafaring wife of a Naval Officer. lt's Over the Waves for sure. ' Priscilla Shurtleff is the Amelia Earhart of the day. I-ler mind is with the clouds while her heart is loyal to Carver, Massachusetts, I-Iey, Priscilla, have you heard from the gang? Yes Did you know that Millie Brown is the true product that Bryant College has always want- ed to produce-the perfect executive secretary. Her company just sold a smooth roadster to Mr. and Mrs. George Fagan. You remember how Dorrie Clapp always raved about him? I-low about Gloria D'Attore and Connie Cook. What are they doing? Ask me another one, that's easy. Gloria has her own radio program, and Connie married a wealthy real estate agent of Taunton, Massachu- setts. Oh, my head! I-low about Gloria DeFelice and Betty Neilan? You've got me. I-Iere's Margie Wheeler, why not ask her? You know, of course, that she is directress of an exclusive summer resort. C'mon, give Margie! O. K. Gloria has always been fascinated by color, so she favored interior decorating. Betty is the head accountant of 'The Inlet Company' of Fall River and has a well-established reputa- tion for making anything in figures balance. I can tell you more-Elsie Gray is social secretary to a Fifth Avenue designer, and Claire Thornley was yoted the most photogenic model of the year. ' My head is so sore, it's so heavy. What did you say? I was going to tell you about Miriam Cook and F. Beatrice Waterhouse. Bea, former Lieutenant in the WAVES, is now giving a series of lectures on her experiences to eager co-eds at leading New England colleges. The Providence Criminal Court is blessed with Miriam's shorthand reporting. She has a box seat now in preference to the 'bleaches of long ago!!! Say, was I talking to myself or to someone else? Need some help? Lo, I-Ii, what's cookin'? Interested in a piece of gossip? You bet! But first, tell me about yourself, I-Ii. l'm private secretary to the president of the I-lartford Trust Company, But here's the gossip. Ruth Richmond and Seymore are on the 'Stork's assembly line' for the second time while Nicky I-Iaggis is on tour with her famous orchestra. And Ginny, Terry, and lilly?
