 As I gaze into my crystal ball I can see a group of familiar faces. Yes, it is the graduation class of 1952. What a long time ago that was. Here comes Cynthia Barker -- I mean Mrs. James McFerran. Shortly after graduation she had a simple wedding ceremony while Jimmy was on a furlough. Soon there will be a little McFerran. Who is this coming? Can it be -- it is Susie Cassidy. Susie has become very successful as a medical secretary. She takes dictation in the main operating room at the Mayo Clinic while her husband operates. Marlene Watson seems to be happy. She has a very productive job as Albert Einstein's assistant. Marlene was just too brilliant to be a math teacher all her life. Speaking of teachers, I can see another one. Doris Given is the anatomy teacher at the Syracuse University School of Nursing. She married the chief surgeon ata Syracuse hospital. Their five year old son wants to be a doctor. I can see an airplane now. I think Tommy Todd is the pilot. He got lots of experience flying jet planes in the last war. The stew- ardess on the plane is Betty Anne Patience. Gee, she looks cute in the uniform! She loves her job so much that already she has refused 48 proposals of marriage one from every state. Is that a cabin in the Adirondacks? Yes, and there is Aubrey Chapin and Merton (Smoky) Goodale. Both of them hate to shave and you should see their beards. Probably they will both come out into civilization because lately they have been writing and receiving love letters. Girls just can't resist that carefree charm. Carolyn Boulet is having a busy life as Mrs. Averill. They have been running a square dancing school in Miami, Florida. A maid takes care of their little dosey-does and allemande-lefts while they are working. Here comes Margaret Sullivan, Supt. of Nursing at Bellvue Hos- pital in N. Y. C. All the nurses love her, so does her husband, Mr. Peter Lawford. She was his nurse when he got a corn on his little toe. Irene Rice is head dietition for the Army at Camp Drum. She's chasing a bashful soldier that always offers to peel potatoes for her. He's tall dark and oh! my! Needless to say Leland Bullock is Margie's husband. He is a wonderful daddy. Leland has memorized Brave Buffalo Bill. (Mr. Slocum doesn't have anything on him) . Jeanette McDonald, R. N., didn't do much nursing after she gradu- ated from Nursing School. She's put her knowledge to good use -- caring for her hypochondriac husband. He chased her until she finally caught him. Lastly comes Genie Davis. Soon after graduation he was offered a job by Uncle Sam. After rendering his services in the army, he got a job selling Electrolux vacuum cleaners. (Thanks goes to Mr. Brown for teaching him salesmanship). Must be that cute little Japanese girl finally hooked him. I can see them farming the Davis place with the help of seven little kiddies.
