Then, noticing that the program was about to end, I prepared to leave. At the door I met Betty Lanting, the famous artist whose latest works were now being exhib- ited at the National Art Galleries. In the conversation which ensued she told me many interesting things about former class- mates of mine. She was most enthusiastic about the fact that a new Eastern Academy building had just been erected, and that Sam Van Der Wiele had been appointed principal. She also stated that several other appointments had been made after the con- struction of the new building. Frances Ruit and Angie Orbeck were appointed clerks and Ethel De Vries was appointed private secretary to the prinripal. Appointed janitor was Harvey Prins, while Herman Kuiken had received the position of grounds-keeper since the Academy now boasted of a beau- tiful campus. Serving as new teachers were Sylvia Machiela. charged with the com- mercial departmentp Marilyn Pelgrim, teach- er of mathematics, Bill Zuidema, German teacherg Mary Stam, new addition to the science staftp lean Wattez, introducing stud- ies in Arty Grace Van Dyk, teacher of Latin: and Lorraine Locker and Milo Veenstra, in- structors in girls' physical education and boys' physical education respectively. Taking leave of Miss Lanting, I walked downtown to my hotel. Passing a news- stand selling out-of-town newspapers, I bought a copy of the Paterson Morning Crier, which had been recently purchased by Sam Van Grouw. Glancing at the first page I saw that Edward Van Schepen, New Iersey Senator, was to speak in Paterson that evening. I also noticed that Passaic County was in the midst of a hot political reform headed by Sidney Vander Wert and Harry Hommes, both running for seats in the City Council. Turning to the editorial page. I saw that Walter Brolsma was now creat- ing cartoons for the Morning Crier and that Cornelius Bushoven was one ot the con- tributors to the editorial page. There was also an interesting account of the results of atomic research carried on by Florence Riemersma and Nick Vanderkooi. On the sports page I noticed a striking basketball picture taken by Lyman Van Winkle, sports photographer. The picture showed a tense moment in a game between Paterson's two new professional basketball teams-the Paterson Bombers, coached by A1 Smith, and the Paterson Eagles, Arriving at my hotel I was cheerily greeted by Richard Pontier, the hotel's man- ager. Passing through the lobby I noticed Marie Woudenberg sitting alone in an al- cove. Walking over, I sat down and started talking to her. She told me that she was on vacation from the bank where she was em- ployed. She told me that working at the bank with her were Radia Vieldhouse, Ruth Sikkema, Ioan Boonstra, and Ruth Faber. She also informed me that several of our former classmates, namely, Martha Fisher, Trina Gros, Iessie Hamersma, and Evelyn de Waal Malefyt-were employed at the Chris- tian Sanatorium and that they had all tian Sanatorium and that they had all received Nursing degrees. Asking Marie why she was alone I was told that she was waiting for her two companions-Marilyn Kievit, famous deititian, and Huberta Bakker, now a model-who were going to accom- pany her to the train, since she was about to leave for the West Coast. Taking leave ot her I went up to my room reminiscing on the happy occasions which had permitted me to either see or hear of all my former classmates, the 49ers.
