Mumm Lets see CLASS 59 PROPHECY aes The editor of my newspaper, ““The New York Star” asked me to write an human interest story on whatever subject I chose. I decided to see what had happened to my classmates during the past fifteen years believ- ing that this story would be of interest to my readers as well as myself. Having decided that the best place to start would be my old alma mater, I boarded a plane for Boston. I landed in Boston at 8:00 a.m. I was standing on the old familiar but changed campus. In place of the tennis court was a new gymnasium. I walked into the building and saw a gym class in session. The teacher, to my surprise, was none other than Gloria Mailly, teaching the girls new exercises. Gloria told me that she is now Mrs. Howard Pothier. Many changes have taken place inside the Home- making Building. Judy Jones is now head of the Foods Department and has been for five years. I learned from her that Helen Pennock, now Mrs. W. Brown, is still living in Middleton and has two lovely daughters ages three and five. I then went to the Cosmetology Class and there I had a surprise Judy hadn’t told me about. Phyllis Quimby is now head of that department. I asked her if she kept in touch with any of the girls in our class. She told me about Madelyn Moroni and Marion Philbrook. Madelyn is now in Paris. She is a very successful model. Marion is in Hollywood making pictures, among them — ‘The King and Skippy”. Phyllis suggested I go to the greenhouse before I left. No wonder, Ruth Canney, now Mrs. Robert Nappi, is in charge. She was just finishing some bouquets for the grand opening of “Madam Violet’s Beauty Salon” owned by Violet Garlick and Claire Parady, the famous manicurist. By this time it was quite late. I decided to go to the home of an old girl friend of mine, Pauline Girard, however she will always be Pauline Jeffery to me. She was glad to see me and invited me to stay for as long as I wished. She told me that Barbara Krajewska and Carol Palmer are still living in Salem. Carol is now Mrs. Edward Wentworth. Carol and her husband own the Hawthorne Hotel. I had to laugh when Pauline told me that Barb finally married Ronny Richuits. The last time she heard from Muriel L’Italien Levesque was two years ago; at that time she received an announcement of the birth of Muriel’s fourth child. Her husband has made a career of the army and the entire family is living in Greenland. I stayed at Pauline’s home for three days without finding out any more information about my other classmates. I then made a plane reservation and left early so I could go on a shopping spree in Boston. I brought the rented car back and walked around for a while and found that Boston had changed so much since my last visit that I soon was lost. I found myself in front of the famous Temple House and decided to go in. There I saw a tall stunning woman dressed in black. I recognized her immediately as Judi Denis. When I told her I was lost she offered to have her chauffeur take me to the airport. On the way she told me of her success as the owner of Temple House and of her marriage to Dick DeForest. I also learned that Mrs. Frank Mistretta, formerly Mary Crosby owns the famous RDX Reducing Corporation. When I got to the airport I went to the information booth. Running it was none other than Marilyn Durfee. She said she also writes the Lovelorn column for the Daily Record. She also told me that Beverly LeBlanc designs for Frederick’s of Hollywood. As I boarded the plane I saw that the hostess was Peggy Bryant. She has been to many places and through her I learned that Chris Sutton is a house- wife living in Seattle, Washington. She and her hus- band, Larry Johnson, have five children. I was sur- prised to learn that Chris had just been elected “Mother of the Year”. As I left the plane I had a feeling of satisfaction knowing that all my classmates were doing well and that I had my story. Respectfully submitted, Pinky
