the Nation’s Public School System and in order to consult with the Secretary of Education in Washington, D.C., in the morning and be at a two o’clock appointment in Minneapolis on the same day, she flies instead of climbs and now has her own helicopter. Marie “Flugge” (not for too long as she has been engaged for some time), so long. And what of the adventurous Ruthie in gay Paris? She had long since returned to the United States. Her beauty salon can be found in the best part of Chicago. A gorgeous neon sign reminds the passerby that he can “go in very meek and come out looking chic.“ Her husband returned from the high seas a captain just recently. He and Ruthie are now enjoying a second honeymoon in Burmuda after a short argument as to whether they should go by plane or by boat. Ruth Dover Parnell, adieu. 13

PROGRESS OF THE FORTY-NINERS In 1949 three Seniors left their commencement exercises and started on the road to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Through much research and costly detective work, this committee has managed to trace these forty-niners through the last ten hectic years. In the spring of 1949 one, Ruthie Dover, started immediately on the road to life in the pursuit of happiness but lost her liberty. She was married in June. The two remaining Seniors wished the bride good luck and took off in opposite directions. Five years hence, as of a certain spring day, we found: Crabtree's Creeping Cats playing their hearts out under the able direction of “Deed” Crabstree at a resort in the Crazy Mountains.

Standing in the doorway ringing the bell stood Marie Flugge, the superintendent, principal, and teacher of the establishment. Thus far we got and no further--for awhile. A dectective started at Buffalo and another at Billings to trace the third forty-niner, Ruth Dover Parnell. One citizen would say she went there and another would say she went here, thus confusing our “hawk-eyes.” However, success is always the reward for determination. Ruthie's husband had been drafted in the fall of 1949 and was still on the high seas. On this certain spring morning Ruthie 'was headed for France to invade Paris. In 1959, our tracing of the forty-niners completed, we found: Edith with a changed uniform, changed profession and changed name. Her orchestra uniform of maroon and gold had been exchanged for a trim, starched one of white. Her orchestra had been merely a side line as each year she had been collecting credits toward a major in medicine. Her name-change cannot be revealed as she is now an interne at the Mayo Brothers Clinic and was secretly married without the permission of her supervisor. Edith Crabtree (blank), adios. Marie, instead of teaching school 7,000 feet above sea level, can be seen piloting a plane 7,000 feet above land, as she is Federal Superintendent of 12
