Cjddd I'0l0 QC? Scene-George Bristol's living room Time-1955 The other night when I was aimlessly wandering around the living room, I happened to pause by the bookcase and my eyes fell upon my old class album. Looking over the pictures, I began to wonder what the members of the Class of 1946 were doing now. The next day Pete DeRestie, my law partner, Helen Papadopoulos, our secretary, and I set out to discover where fame and fortune had taken the various members of the Class of '46. After diligently searching by telephone, mail, newspaper and radio, we found that: Jean Zirkle is a movie critic and writes her column for some of the nation's largest papers. Frances Rice is now a nurse at the Rhode Island Hospital in charge of the broken nose ward. Fred McLaughlin has become general manager of the Murray Chain of Deep Cut Rate Stores. I saw Philip Panizza, the dashing young naval officer, at Red Wilson's Ringside Grille. Red has an ideal location right next to Madison Square Garden. Red told me Margaret Cheever is an artist living down in Greenwich Village. At Red's Grille the Rizzardinis, Helen and Doris, Angie Maddalena and Beverly Berg are all hostesses. Almeda Symons is busily engaged in touring Switzerland, something she always wanted to do. Rudolph Mattiace is one of the best dance instructors Arthur Murray has. Norma Magner is traveling and when she gets home there is that swimming job she wants. Emily Briggs, Helen Parker, Connie Paolucci, and Gertrude Bickford are all working in the office of the Richard Davis 8: Company trucking firm. Dick must have twenty trucks going to New York daily. John Olson is known as Swede Olson and is one of baseball's outstanding players in the big leagues. Bill Huling is a vice-president of General Electric Company. His interest in electricity is getting him eventual control of General Electric. Gertrude Essex is working for a firm named Sidney 85 Company. Dolly Dunn and Marjorie McKone are still inseparable spending all their extra time riding U. E. R. buses to and from each other's homes. Pearl Fiske is the assistant manager of Sharpe's Hardware Company. Shirley Farrell is working on Broadway as technical advisor to that all time big hit Mama's Angel Child. Anna Petteruti with her modern business methods has enlarged her father's business to such an extent that she has to be there all the time handling his affairs. Donald Soderlund has succeeded his father in the contracting business and has enlarged it greatly. Madaline Warhurst is secretary for the owner of a large farm near her home. Charlotte Spungin is now assisting Mr. R. H. Mitchell in guidance in a school in Massachusett... Nancy Kettelle and Pat Murphy are both secretaries. Nancy works for the Kettelle Motor Company and Pat is sending out the bills for Matteson Jewelry Company. Jean Swan is a dress designer at Macy's in New York. When Pete, Helen and I gathered once again in my living room to finish com- paring notes on our group, we thought that next year, which would mark our tenth anniversary, the wise but aging members of the Class of '46 should have a reunion. 24
