10 lie-- Tworney and noted pianist, Marcia Spaul- ding. Bruna Misaggia has remained home on the range, posing as the proprietor of a flourishing bakery business, successful because of the efforts of advertising man- ager Elaine Rabinoeitz. Robert Chandler has passed up a movie contract to become a salesman for the 15 Karat Gold Fish Company. To continue our adventures at the Car- nival of 1961, I shall recount more about our classmates. Jay Gordon has taken over the managership of his father's dress factory, where Barbara McFarland and Pauline McKay are models, and June Morse is a dress designer. Grace Tryon is also employed here to try on every new gown that june designs. Next we see Ser- geant Kenneth Sargent, who has attained that distinguished rank in the army. Mary McLellan, Eileen Otenti, and Marguerite Southwick, now nurses in the army, are under the supervision of Doctor Charles Savage, MD. X. Marguerite Behan and Mary Foley have become very popular hostesses at a Naval recruiting station. After seeing many of my classmates through the crystal ball, I decided to leave the tent where the fortune teller was. Walking around outside of the tent I sud- denly became quite sleepy and sat on a chair near by to rest. In a few moments I had fallen asleep, and I will tell you what I dreamed. First, I saw a huge new sky- scraper located where Brockelman's was. On every window shone the name of Eddie Lernbo who, supposed to be a noted loan shark, has computed a ten easy payment scheme, so organized that John Hickson does all the collecting. Next door Robert Clark, former soda jerker, now runs the famous club called UThe Get-Together, where John R. Mahoney checks coats and rhapso-ody. Marcella Brennan and June Arnold make charming waitresses at the club. Kathleen Donnelly is a distinguished opera singer at the new Framingham Opera House, which has long since taken the THE PHILOMHTH place of the good old St. George. Virgil Proctor manages and finances the highly successful Framingham Opera Company. My dream suddenly transported me to the icy Arctic, where Sylvia Nedell and Mildred Perlmutter have gone so that they can go coasting all year round and at the same time freeze out their worries and cares. Marguerite Taylor captained the sailing vessel, with Barbara Welch as first mate, on which they traveled to the frigid zone. With a rush I found myself back on Concord Street, where I saw Elaine Abbot, Dorothy Atwell, and Jacqueline Shira, usherettes at the New Hill's theatre, man- aged by Ruby and Margaret Hill. Priscilla Woodworth, Claire Allen and Betty Bea- trice, I suddenly visualize undertaking an exploring expedition into- the heart of the Nobscot region, with Florence Shoekett and Anna Vella acting as guides. Dorothy Tinney and Doris Mauke I picture in New York where they are at the famed Parisian Art school run by Made- moiselle Marjorie Jessanian, now located on this side of the Atlantic. Florence Rallis and Irene Saoi serve as air hostesses on Norman Vogt's huge new passenger liner, whose hangar is located not far from the art school. Jane Winters runs a summer home on Long Island, where Rose Canali and Berkeley Young are employed as chambermaids. Teresa M aschi and Edna Murphy I see touring the country, lectur- ing on How to Get Your Man in six easy lessons, with Mary Tersoni as their maid. Louise Splaine and Rita Paradis are writ- ing for nationally famous comic strips called 'fCatch Me If You Canf' Back to Framingham with a whiz and I see experi- enced teachers at the beautiful modern Framingham High School, two of whom are Gladys Turner and Hazel Eaton.

THE PHILOMHTH Leaving Madam Murphy we entered the luxuriously furnished building where jani- tors Dante Valentini and Anthony Zickella are shooing fiies off that honorable portrait of the class of '41. Elevator boy Robert Gallagher trans- ports us to Principal Richard Harrington's office, where Jane Vial rules as private secretary. Here he directs us to the spa- cious swimming pool, where Richard Har- wood and Francis Barley are instructors. Soothing music penetrates our ears. Pro- fessor Emeritus Chester Hughes, new high school music instructor, is directing Justine Dyer, former celloist and assistant at the rhythm sticks, to the music of Tschaikow- sky's final finale of the Ninth Symphony.

Incidentally, Merle Abbott is his prima donna. Donald Langley, after having passed the bar, has now attained the status of judge.

THE PHILOMFITH hearted glamour girls of Broadway. Some of the first customers were Mary Tobin and Irene Hollander, former actresses, playing in a picture produced by Richard McGrath. Muriel Bell, Alice Young and Lucy Brunnetta are Working as house- maids on the estate of Eileen Bemis. As I walked around the grounds, to my surprise I saw Gloria Harris and Marguerite Gray pulling weeds out of the garden which has been kept so neatly by Jimmy Welch, who is an ace-one gardener. As I glanced across the street I saw Mary Lill and Rita Brillhart perched on the limb of an apple tree. Standing in the middle of the road was none other than officer Bob .Monahan trying to give a ticket to Mary Moran, who was speeding. Etta Carreia, Edith Femia, and Anne Gial- lombardi were all sitting on the lawn, knit- ting sweaters forthe Red Cross. After see- ing all these friends in my dream, I started toward the town. On the way I saw Helen Whitehouse, now happily married, sweep- ing off the front steps of her little white cottage. She told me that Mary Luminari, Nellie Croatti and Mary Mackey are working as telephone operators. Josephine Bengiovanni, Florence Billings and Patri- cia Condon are also working in the Tele- phone Co. as messenger girls. Marjorie Erickson and Pearl Miller are employed as social workers, and I do mean social work. As I walked down the street my attention was drawn to an art shop win- dow display featuring a beautiful portrait of Roberta Patten in water color. In the lower corner I was just able to distinguish the tiny letters of my classmate Armida Brizzolesi. Lydia Mercorelli, blushingly petite as formerly, banged happily away on a typewriter in the background. U go Abelli has established himself as dictator of Coburnville, with Ablino An- tonio as his stooge and Rose Franchi as his secretary. Vincent Dangelo is profes- sional golfer at Louis T rottier's miniature golf course. Warren CBean-balll Smith 11 has obtained a job of yelling fore at each hole. Bidding farewell to Sir Avery we leave the building and are greeted at the door by groundkeeper Francis Jewell, who informs us that our former classmate, Irene Buianowski, now operates the famous f'Madame Renee's Fur Salon in New York on Fifth Avenue. She employs many of her friends, including Anna Mor- rissey, who is the head mistress of the models, Gloria Gorman, June Hastings and Rita Maplebeck. Donald Gillis sweeps up all moths picked off furs by Kenneth Giac- comuzzi. Incidentally, Alexander Mole- ronek supplies the shop with the skunk furs which he traps. He also notifies us that Muriel Bullard is running a rodeo out in Texas, with Cowboy Arthur Liberatore as foreman and Thomas Kane as instruc- tor of dudes. We hail a cab driven by Barney Cirioni, who is working for the Speedy Taxi Ser- vice run by Charles Mute. We whiz past Irwin Dershowitz's Womenis Clothes Shoppe, trading in dresses patterned by Mary Casella. His coat hangers are made by carpenter James Copithorne. Barney relates to us that Gus Bartoli is chief grave digger at the Happy Hunting Grounds Cemetery, supervised by Arthur Martins, who is trying to increase the death rate. The cab stops in the business district of our famous town and we step out and start to walk the busy streets. Our eyes meet with the name of one of our classmates, f'Salak's Slick Window Service. We greet this person only to find it is not J-ohn Salak but Charles Sage, who is employed by this big business man. We reach the Luxurious Park and hear quite a loud rumpus. We hurry nearer and see cop Mario Sannicandro hitting a poor fellow on the head while he is stretched out asleep on the bench. Mario finally belts out a good clout and Sleepy John J. Mahoney rolls off the bench and wakens. After these disturbances the crowd disperses and we
