CLASS PRCPI-IECY Here we all are back again for our second class reunion at our old Alma Mater, and I know many of us will be surprised with the accomplishments of the members of our distinguished class. Most of our classmates are here at the huge banquet table in the cafeteria of Dover High. The tables are laden with gorgeous flowers, and at each place are piled the many gifts from prosperous class- mates. There is a beautiful grass skirt for everyone from Betty Lewis, who has just returned from Hawaii, and has opened the exclusive Hula Dance School in New York. Tommy Nicholson and Jerry Cullen, are responsible for the carton of life savers and tooth picks at each place. Soon after they grad- uated, they went into business together. And now are co-owners of the Universal Roll and Pick Corporation. Their motto is Roll them in and pick them out. Tickets to the new hit are being handed out by Barbara Boyer, who after six years of studying occupational therapy, has turned to her real love, the stage, and is starring in the smash hit, Meet Me in Canada. Strange to say, other members of the Class of '50 are associated witth this play. Choreogrepher, Robert Staats has a brilliant 150 girl chorus. Bob sends his regrets explaining that he had made previous plans to take the chorus to the Stork Club for an evening of dancing. After all, writes Bob, The girls have to have some kind of amusement to get their minds off their work. Our former classmates in the chorus are: Frances Kohout,June McMahon, Mar- ian Price, and Shirley Cunard, Who, Bob writes, is No. l girl of the first line since she has acquired her willowy figure. The Latex girdles that you find at your places are presented with the com- pliments of Betty Jane Richards, present owner of the International Latex Corporation. However, she will probably be sharing her ownership very soon, as we have learned that she is planning to marry an old Princeton grad in August. She is accompanied tonight by her private secretary, Dorothy Warren, and her business manager, Mary Helen Moore, both former classmates. Howard Hyatt, the efficient manager of Macy's has handed out gift certificates good for S5 worth of merchan- dise at his famous department store. Nancy Forbes, who now owns the Milford Roller Rink, has put at each place a season's pass to her rink. Donald Wingard has really come up in the world. He is now president of General Motors, and he has had a 1960 Oldsmoblie delivered to each of you with his compliments. ' Now everyone is getting quiet for our old senior class president, Robert McNeil, who is master of ceremonies, has just arrived. Bob, now a famous scientist, had sent a telegram saying he would be a little late, as he was taking his family out on a short visit to Mars in his latest model of the space ship. After a cheery welcoming address, Bob begins telling us of the accomplishments of our former classmates. Seated at his right is one of our most prominent members, John Maybee. John has finally realized his secret ambition. He has been elected president and now has the dis- tinction of being the first! Republican to become Commander-In-Chief since the New Deal. John has very graciously consented to lay aside the affairs of the Nation for this evening. Later he will speak. Next to John is Ralph McGinnis, the traveling Mayor of Kenton who cut short his trip to Iran in order to be with us tonight. Ralph Adams is next in line. Ralph has just won his 50th consecutive billiard tournament. He says his win- ning streak is due to his three bank combination shot. There's Doris Byers who is representing Delaware in the Miss America Contest. She had planned to be married next month to an intern at Kent General Where she in now employed-, but Page Twenty-Nine
