To my astonishment, they were Russell Merrill, Robert Xf.gari, and Kenneth Robasser. Returning to the street we saw a sailor wr.lking lei- surely down the street. Wes that red locks shewing below his flat top, sure ,'novgi it va5» and under that sailor liat was none other than Ri jha d B,'we s. X l'Vu’ned, on creaking with him that he was :pc. d.r - orno timi wilting for that dear little Rose, to appeal from tne Bopu'y lari r. He as- sured me that she was tjood enough looking rrr Mm but that she had said she wanted co look ui re rhea tfcay were together. Beside the 3eauty Parlor was a Dancing studio owned by Lula Rardin, On the window was painted., I.e.'.rn To Dance, Lula Will Teach Ycu In Savon Easy Lessons. 'Vc wcr.t in, as I wondered what kind of dancing bh.o taught. At Fulton, she had said something about ballroom dancing .and I wondered if she taught it. She said she had an hour to gossip so I ask- ed her all the news about the oid class members. Barton Manley had taken a pretty, young girl to marry and help him work his farm. (Of course she didn't pull the plow, Mr. Know-It-All, we know that's what you'd make your wife do, if you had one. Barton worked day and night luring the warm summer days he worked in the field, and .tat night on plans for a new plant which would produce tomatoes, corn, and beans, on one stalk and potatoes in the ground on the roots. Donna Jean Mizer, she said, had distinguished herself as a great Metropolitan Opera singer. , She toured all over America and would go to England as soon as she reached the East coast, Virginia Poorman, she informed me, was the only one of the girls in the class that was married and settled down, but even she was working in a factory, nights. After waiting until she was 18 to have a date, she got married first. Think ttf it4 I don't suppose Donna Jean will ever get married since she is busy on tours all the time and Anna (Heaven bless her) would get married to none other than Jack and he's 'way out on the west coast, Dorothy has been married several times, as you know actresses almost always do and Dot just couldn't be different. Mr. Know-It-Ail and I walked out of the studio feeling satisfied at seeing or hearing about all the members of the class of '43. le waved good-bye to Lula and walked ’down Future Street and on to Times Square.
