Place: Miss Ackerman’s 6th period History Class. Library Assign- ment : Look up famous gradu- ates of class of 1944 in Who's Who.

It says she became editor-in-chief of ‘Madame’ the magazine of fashion. (Yes, my dear, positively!) A sort of shining ‘Lady in the Dark. And. oh, look who’s on her staff.
