This letter is postmarked Washington, D. C. As we tear it open, we wonder who from the class of '45 has landed in the capitol of our fair country. Why, it is Kay -Elling, Senator from Utah. His secretaries, Pat Steinberg and Gwen Kirchner, simply adore working for him. , Ercm Bernard Dankbar we received word that he is the biggest and best cow tester in Minnesota. Marion Schoneman writes that he is in the auto business in Chicago. He is seen daily, racing up and down Michigan Avenue in his l950 pink convertible. Well, well! We have a letter from a singer and it is none other than Marilyn Boehnke. She informs us that she warbles on a radio program that comes on the air at six o'clock, A. M., Central Standard Time. As our stack of letters becomes smaller, we find another letter from Chicago. William Brugman Cbetter known as Billl is employed at the largest railroad center in the world. A letter from Doris Haes and Betty Schmidt, who operate the only beauty shoppe in Ventura, invite any of their old classmates to come over for a free beauty treatment. We have two boys from the class of '45 who are attending large universities. Gordon Specht. who is attending Harvard, is majoring in science and Arvil Stille writes that he is playing quarterback for Yale. AFVil not only enjoys football, but girls, too. A .Warren Rasmus informs us that he is working for the American Tobacco Company and that his father-in-law set him up in business. We are coming to the end of our letters and have only two left. We are glad to hear that Bette Reibe inherited 350,000 from an unknown relative and is living in the Waldorf Astoria in New Yor' City Qbome people have all the lucklb ,Our last letter is from Omaha, NebraSka, where Orville Hall is half-owner of a night club. CHe gives dancing les- sons on the side.j We are very sorry to have reached the end Of our core respondencee-but wait--what's this? A messenger just handed us a Special 'Delivery from Donald Cbetter-latefthan-neverl Richards. Don is in India and it seems he is with the Hindus learning Black Magic. I And now, unlike our customary procedure of throwing Qll correspondence in the waste basket, we file these letters for future reference, and in doing so, wish the members of the class of 1945 much,success in the Years to come.
