driving along a winding driveway leading to the home of our once Miss Roberta Locke, now the wife of one of the nation's leading epidermiologists. After a delightful talk with my hostess in one of her spacious drawing rooms, I proceeded on to Worcester State Hospital where I found Miss Barbara Niederberger just coming from duty as day nurse on Washburn Three. And to think that none of us ever took Barbara seriously when she expressed her love for Psychi.atric Nursing. But I'm afraid that the Navy is moving in rather rapidly. She informed me of Miss P. Cooney's latest exploits as a private scrub nurse for one of the leading brain surgeons . . . Dr. Graymatter. Industrial nursing was well represented in the person of Miss C. Conry at her job in the National Biscuit and Arrowroot Company. After talking to Charlotte I then proceeded to the home for Neurotic Individuals run by Miss B. Lewis in New Hampshire. It was evident that she had dedicated her life to the study of neurosis, a better cause could not be found. As I was saying goodbye to Barbie I heard the drone of a jet plane that carried Miss Carol Lewis as chief flight nurse. You might say that Carol was engaged in wide- spread Public Health. My next stop was at the home of Miss Norma Penrod, now the wife of the Edison Co.'s most important light bulb tester. I found her and her three little sockets, well and happy. En route to Boston I stopped in at the National Orthopedic Mattress Co. and found Miss E. Munchback working as chief mattress tester. To say that she was lying down on her job is perfectly truthful and also legal. Here I learned of the wonderful job Miss Barbara Lord was doing as National Recruiter for Student Nurses, in the Greater Boston area. More than half of 1961's entrants were due to Miss Lord's perseverance. My last stop was to Western Union to send a telegram to Miss Sylvia Smith for being re-elected to the position of publisher of that great magazine, The Aluminum Autoc1ave in Washington. This concluded the last of my exploits concerning the whereabouts and happenings of my classmates. It was evident that all had succeeded in reaching their goals-The Prophecy had come true.
