Gerry Maxwell has become editor of the New York Times. She really had to work her way up to this position; it took about ten years to convince the previous editor's son that she could run the business of marriage and the newspaper at the same time. Reverend Roland Fierce and his wife, Nancy, have settled down in Circleville, Ohio. They own a little cottage and have two little red heads. Never a dull moment! Lois Harper has undertaken a big project, introducing the square dance all over the United States. Lois calls, of course, and accompaniment is provided by Rolph Flanigan and his orchestra. At this time Lois and company are playing at the Stork Club in New York. CynthiaGillon has undertaken the task of rewriting the dictionary. She has just reached the halfway mark; to get this far it has taken fifteen years. Cynthia figures that by 1985 her book should be finished. Aside from this job, she is also working on an autobiography. This should be quite a book! Glamourous Bonnie Hayman is seen in one of New York's exclusive dress shops modeling a dress for a customer. The customer is none other than the famous star of stage and screen, Charlotte Welch. Charlotte's career began as the result of her winning a contest, the prize being a trip to Hollywood and a screen test. She later decided to try Broadway. Buck Harris likes Germany so well that after Shirley's graduation twenty years ago, he sent for her and Marsha to come there. Shirley and General Harris have a beautiful little home in Berlin (American Zone). While Buck is away on military business, Shirley occupies her time by giving singing lessons to German children. Norma Watts waited twenty years for this day--her wedding day. She finally roped Eddie into marriage. It was a tough battle, but she won. They will make their home at Briggleville. Evelyn Willey owns a big stripping mine at McLuney. Under her employ is David Taylor, her husband. David and Evelyn stiH ride around in style in the old coal truck--twenty years older, to be exact. Shirley Houk, after her graduation in 1952, enrolled at Ohio University, where she took a four-year course in one year. She liked college life so well that she stayed on as a teacher, and she is now Dean of Girls. Once a week Shirley holds a class for the benefit of the profs. When questioned on the subject of marriage, Shirley said, There's plenty of time for that. Jerry's still waiting. Donna Theisen is found at her office in Los Angeles, finishing a report. Always efficient, Donnie has learned more and more about efficiency as she guided her twelve sons through childhood and then decided to make her knowledge of efficient procedures pay off. Her services are now sought all over the nation as an efficiency expert. Well, that was the class of '52. Satan doesn't seem too pleased with what he has seen, so he turns the futuravision off in disgust. He says to himself, Oh, well, everything takes time. CYNTHIA GILLON DONNA THEISEN
