Shirley Guerrini is the owner of a doughnut shop. She attributes her success to her ability to sell the holes in the doughnuts to be used as fillings for macaroni. Joyce Bent is a dress designer. She has the odd ability to make beautiful crea- tions out of flour sacks and potato bags. Carolyn Darling has traveled all the way to Mansfield, and is now a secretary at the Mazzini Club. The graduates of Foxboro High really go places. Carol Britton, a wise chemist back in the good old school days, discovered a new element which she used in the manufacture of high explosives. Unfortunately she dropped it, hence she has never been heard from since. lt was time for Marlene's babies to take their naps, so she had to hurry off, telling me she would see me at the wedding. l left the Bay State, and I noticed a store which was advertised as The Forty Niners Beauty Salon. inquiring about this, l was told that Betty Spencer, June Ludwig, and Adrienne Russell had decided to try to beautify the feminine popu- lation of Foxboro. Deciding l didn't want to stop in, l turned my attention to a store front which read Second National Stores, lnc. Jack Davis, Proprietor. I started walking down to the high school to see what was down there. On the way, l met Kibby Honnors who is working as a secretary at the Company. We walked together down to the school and she told me more news about my classmates. Francis Buckley is playing the role of Happy in the 1963 version of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. Robert DeVautour recently won the Pulitzer Prize for the writing of the best play of the year. It was entitled Four Years at Rocky Point, or l Slid Through High School the Easy Way. Robert Hum is an eminent scientist. He has iust succeeded in crossing pine trees and apple trees in order to produce pine-apples. Hayes Ellis is breaking all records as a stock car racer, and Peg MacKay is banging the dents out of the fenders. Jim Wallace, in a strident voice is giving a series of speeches on WHY WE SHOULD HAVE BIGGER AND BETTER ANIMAL CRACKERS. Danny Gomes is still playing first base on the diamond of matrimony. Joyce Gafford is colorfully known as the red-headed blues singer. Her theme song is Love ls Like A Burning Flame. Gail Fitzpatricklhas taken over Fannie Farmer's business. I guess those weeks at Lowney's proved profitable. Kibby and l talked all the way to the high school. Yes old F.H.S. still looked the same, but appropriately situated near the high school is an ultra modern funeral home. The owner of the establishment is Konrad the friendly under- taker Brown. They said that there is always a speculative gleam in his eye which seems to say, I'lI get you in the end.

611155 Prophecy By RosE JoDicE After spending ten years in Italy, running my own spaghetti and pizza res- taurant, I immediately flew home upon receiving word that my old U. S. History teacher was finally being married, and I was invited to attend the wedding. I stopped off at my house first, to see how things were. After spending a few hours at home, I decided to take a walk up to Foxboro, and catch up on the doings of my classmates before going to the wedding. As I was walking up the street, I heard a lot of commotion in the woods. To satisfy my curiosity I looked in, and who else did I see but Gypsy Marcia Foster dancing to I Got Bells On My Toes And Rings On My Fingers, with Norman RebeI Allen as the sole audience. Deciding I didn't want to disturb them, I continued my walk up town, and I saw John Engley coming down the street and I observed that he is now a gentleman farmer. All he raises is his hat. We stopped and talked for awhile, and he told me some news about some of my classmates. He tells me that John Cook, and Alan Kivela have started their own beer joint. They now have taken over Nellie's Cafe. Ronny Foster is a comedian. He recently invented a machine into which he puts stale iokes and the result is that they come out new and snappy. Charles Groome is New York's Beau Brumbmel. He is said to rise at 7 A.M. and has written a book entitled The Man About Town. Joe I'm not that type Brigham has established his own dancing school special- izing in the Hot To Trot, Ready To Gallop iitterbug. His only pupil thus far is Barbara l'm still wearing buckles on my shoes Guildford. Elaine LeBaron has been elected National President of the International Ailuro- phile Society. Her pet cat, Blossom, has iust recently retired from the office of membership chairman of the local branch. Doret Newell is the president of the Aching Hearts Club and her staunch members are Phyllis Julius and Catherine McKay. The A.H.C. is for maidens disappointed in love. Their motto is Down With Men. Alice Murphy is now a telephone operator. She simply adores her iob. She can now finish her latest book, Who's Who, and What's New in Foxboro. Well John was in a hurry to tend to his work, so I bade him goodbye and started once more up to Foxboro. My next stop was at the Bay State Drug, where all the gang used to hang out. I spotted Marlene Dolan in there, so I decided I would go in and see how she was. To my surprise I saw her giving three little red-heads cokes, while keeping an eye on a certain big red-headed officer directing traffic outside the Bay State. She was quite surprised to see me, and we sat and talked for awhile. She told me quite a bit about some of my old friends.

Kibby left me there, so I started up to the school, and-in a far off corner I heard someone say, Me, iust think, little me, receiving a diploma. I looked in the corner and who else could I expect but Vaughn Gunrud still stunned over the fact that he did receive a diploma back in 53. I walked into the school and I saw that Ann Ashby is now the secretary there, with Betty Clark as her assistant. They always were good at running the school's business. I talked to Ann for a few minutes and she told me that Alfred Rollins had been playing the All American Fullback at the University of Hinky Dew Pew, until last week when he was hit by a truck, and now he is playing the All American Halfback. Iris Webb is back in California, working in MGM's studios as a iewelry designer. Swanks must have had some good influence on her. Regina Murray finally married Richard Newell. She has five little babies, and it is surprising what she named them: Gertie, Herman, Sinclair, Chloe, and Bertha. There wasn't anything going on at the school, so I left and went uptown. I stopped at Hanna's to get a cup of coffee, and I saw that Mary White is now the owner of Hanna's. While I was sitting there drinking my coffee, I saw Yvonne Welch walk by the window with a puzzled look on her face. The poor girl is still undecided as to which one she will marry, Pete Hearn or Danny Ryan. She can't make up her mind due to the fact that Danny and Pete have always had such a close friendship with one another. I left Hanna's and I heard a lot of noise up in the common. I walked up and who else did I see but Anna Don't Run Sylvia and Helene Barry, selling used Clevenson pins to the Growing Democratic Party of Foxboro. Their main slogan is Clevenson is in the White House waiting to be selected, Mike is in the garbage pail waiting to be collected, playing on their harmonicas Old Soldiers Never Die. These two Democrats will never give up. I didn't want to interrupt the campaigning, so I bought a Clevenson pin for old times sake, and went home to dress for the wedding. After getting dressed, I went uptown and met the old gang and we decided to go to the wedding all together. When we got there, we expected a big celebration, but we were told the bridegroom had backed out. It seems he had forgotten the basketball game that he had scheduled for that day. mm ra -ss s I I 4 I mr -rx Q- A 7 s' J
