Yes, you guessed right, it is the former Doris Godden, who is now very hapnily married to the mechanic, Lee Drayton. The evening £ape h s gust been delivered, and as we glance over it we see an item of special interest. It tells of the arrival of the internationally known, beautiful opera singer, Barbara Thompson, who has just returned from a tour in Burope. as we recall the days happenings we realize that our friends have each achieved something worthwhile in life.

 CLASS PROHOC7 OP 42 It is a clear. tri«, xu day in July of the summer of 1952. She clouds are lazily drifting along in a sky blue heaven. On the far horizon the white how of a ship can he seen. As it cruir-oc closer, the name can he distinguished. It is the U. S. S. Senior, a cruiser of the U. S. Navy. As v e fly over we see a commotion on deck. Not being able to quite distinguish what the cause may he, v e zip out our Magic Telescope and Lo and Behold, we find Donald John, as boatswain, blowing the whistle for all he is worth. He is signaling for all hands on deck for sea-baggage inspection and from all hooks and crooks of the cabins, come sailors dressed in white, scrambling for position. But alas, there is one struggling behind and v;hat a time he is having. His cap is askew, and he is frantically tucking his clothes into his bag. He gives a throw with a shoe, and a tuck here and a tuck there, stooping to pick up a soca, and at last he rushes into Position, and who cfo you think it is. None other than Gordon Graham! And is he|going to hear a few words, for marching up to him-is Admiral Harold Becker. It is too bad that v e can't hear that is said, but perhaus it is best that v e don11. V e circle around and see that the ship is now almost to New York. Inswection is over and sailors n.re impatiently waiting for a chore, but perhaps v e shall see more at Port. V ho knows! Here we are at port, the shin is anchored and the gang- plank is lov ered. Sounding like a stampede come the sailors with Kenneth Kammerstrom in the lead, .rnd is he going to re- ceive a warm welcome, for there waiting with openiiaymaj i rs, Margaret Ringsdorf, 7ith her is her friend Margaret Richman. Apparently she is also waiting for someone, and yes, a nich handsome, d; rk-hhired sailor is coming up to her, but v e do not ’enow him. As the crowd scatters, v e follow and v ho do you think they meet. Home ether than their old echool chume, Lorraine Scderberg and l-iargaret Iras thus. 3oth of those girds have new acquired ©reellent Jobs. Lorraine is an efficient sten- ographer for the Richard Groan end Son Stock Company, and Margaret is a very ch rming nurse at the V eber Lucas Hospital. Later in the day we hear that Doretta Steward and Martha Gifford have just arrived on the Coast to Coast Clipper from that good old state of Iowa. They have come for the Style Show tha.t is to be held at the Ambassador Hotel tonight. j I ! I
