THE H U T T L E S T O N I A N “Al” Hammond was sitting on my desk, laughing at me. I had read in the papers that “Al” was coach of the Yale eleven. Gertrude Stiles sat in a chair in the corner of the room. “Gert” teaches ornithology in the University of Maine. Marion Whiting! Gee, whiz! I had not seen her in ages. Marion said that she had a position in a doctor’s office. Bertha Vincent had been talking with Marion and informed us that she was instructor in the Y. W. C. A. “Let’s go out to dinner,” I suggested. Within twenty minutes we were inside the restaurant. “Frannie” Hammond was sitting at a table opposite us, with a strange looking man. Someone remarked that she was accompanist for McCormick. Good work “Fran!” At another table was Marjorie Winterbottom. I recognized “Marge” at once by her smile. Bertha remarked that Marjorie was studying art. We had all noticed Mildred Morse sitting at the cashier’s desk, as we came in. Her work in the high school bank gave her all the ex¬ perience that she needed. Just then Gladys Hebden brought in our order. Here we are all eating, and the happiest little group imaginable! May I always have the pleasure of meeting old classmates from the most wonderful high school in the world. David Entin, ’29, Marion S. Whiting, ’29. 30

THE HUTTLESTONIAN yisiting Edith Holmes who was also married. Edith had married a blonde. Let this be a warning to young men who loiter in corridors to talk to senior girls! Betty Haskins had been a guest at dinner one evening during Mildred’s visit. She was manager of a beauty shop in Boston, and very successful in her work. It was time for court to reassemble. “Timmie” O’Leary came hurrying thru the door. “She is another champion on the Women’s Olympic Team,” said Mildred. What famous people old F. H. S. has turned out! One would think that this courtroom was the scene of a reunion of the Class of ’29. Dear me, someone has fainted there in a corner of the room. “Who is it?’’ I asked a passerby. “Charlotte Terhune,’’ was the answer. Poor old “Charlie” was crying for her handkerchief, and her niece Jane, who was with her, picked it up for her. “Charlie” had married a millionaire some time ago. Some one came in to take her out. It was the court matron, Gladys Pemberton. She had an assistant whom I discovered was Harriette Killam. She told me later that she had been teaching short-hand and typewriting in Egypt. During her travels she had met Mabel Rounsville who was just starting out on a trip into Africa for her health. She had been working very hard on the entertain¬ ment committe e of the Girl Reserves. The afternoon wore away and a verdict of not guilty was returned by the jury. As I made my way toward the door, someone took hold of my arm. I looked around and saw Betty Parshley. After asking what she was doing I found out that she was engaged to the Mayor of New Bedford. I asked Irene LaMarche—the old dear was standing beside her— “What are you doing here?” “Oh, I’m just buying agent for a fur concern in Paris and I’m over to look at some goods. Do you remember who this is?” I followed her gaze and there was Marietta Giante. “Yes, Irene and I both work for the same concern,” said Marietta. “Do you ever see Rose Vincent?” I asked. Somebody then re¬ marked that Rose was way off in Alaska, had charge of an orange grove, and had engaged Frances March as her assistant. After a sad farewell I walked out of the courtroom and down towards my office. When I arrived there I was due for a bigger sur¬ prise than I had received all day. 29
