Since we were so absorbed in the discussion of our former classmates, we had not realized that what had been late afternoon was now early morning. When the time was brought to our at- tention, we reluctantly disbanded, each returning to our own sta- tion in life. With the reunion over and our purpose completed, we agreed that ten years ago we made a comparatively accurate sur- misal of what the future held for our classmates.

14 The Enfield Echo Part IV (By Robert Cummings) Yes, times have changed, for I noticed that Charles Alaimo is a candidate for governor of Conservative Connecticut on a radical- socialist ticket. According to his campaign manager, Dick Shields, it’s just a matter of counting the votes, which of course, will be supervised by the state voting commissioners, Paul Bellinger and Malcolm Wood. However, his election is strongly opposed by such famous peo- ple as Ramona Figurato and Charles Johnson. Miss Figurato in- sists in her daily column, that it is time for a woman governor and that Elinor MacGovern, a prominent woman in public affairs, should be elected. An influential and independent farmer, Mr. Johnson is another of Alaimo’s foremost opposers. Surprising news came from the sports world when Frank Grajewski and John Pastermelo, the most consistent double play combination in organized baseball announced their resignation in order to create a woman’s baseball league. They also announced that they will employ such women talent scouts as Lorraine Bailar- geon and Sadie Chmielewski. These scouts have already signed up numerous stars, including Barbara Thompson, southpaw pitch- er, Marian Crafts, crack infielder, and Ruth Lynch, home-run queen. Former All-American end, Leo Porcello is now coaching at Mildew University, having already been mentioned for the coach of the year award by virtue of his outstanding performance at the college. Pauline Turgeon and Dorothy Oates, gossip editors of the Sunshine Press, are being sued by Marie Binnenkade, well-known banker. Miss Binnenkade, according to her confidential secretary, Mary Romano, was perturbed when she was referred to as having a reddish tint in her hair. In the world of excitement, Donald Hartley has announced that he has secured financial backing for his crash carnival from Nellie Kamay who has prospered in the unique profession of quiet- ing famous people’s nerves. This money will enable Mr. Hartley to purchase the services of Anthony Dedonis and Roland Gagne, well-known midget auto racers. William Mahon, reserved night club owner, has just announced the opening of a new club which will be under the management of Helen Novak and Eleanor Polek. They have just returned the Diamond Horse Shoe to Billy Rose, intrusted to them until they could put it back on a paying basis. This they did in a remarkably short time, merely by adding to the program, Helen O’Brien and Jean Humphries, well-known ballard-singers. Their gowns are designed by the exclusive Park Avenue dress creators, Janet Sanger and Madelyn Hayden.
