D PROPHDECY HIC Class of 1932 has really done very well during the past years to hold its reunions regularly, but this year so many of the girls were at such distant points we decided not to hold one, very much to my disappointment. In lieu ot' the reunion then, l suggested to D. P. that we take a trip to NVashington and we began at once to make all arrangements, though it. was some months before we were tinally on our way. XVDCII li planned this trip ili decided that I would keep a record of the more eventful ineidents, i11 order not to forget the many interesting things that were bound to happen. D.

'N .. f x 'vw formation Desk but three of our classmates, Betty, Lou, and Barbara. The twins had just come in to New York for a shopping tour, as Betty, now a smart young secretary to the President of one of New lilngland's largest firms, had decided that Lou, who had come East for a vacation from her Arizona ranch, was badly in need of clothes. Barbara, who is busy with her many dancing classes in New York, had come to meet them. We had a pleasant little chat and heard many bits of news about some of our Stamford school chums. .lean Parry and Dolly Rouse are in their Senior year at College, having a wonderful time. XVinkie Mead decided not to continue in literary ways but, after taking a two- years business course, is busily trying to keep up with Betty. Helen Rinke is the Math. teacher at 'Gray Court and is having a hard time with her Junior Geometry class, Sally Brown, Barbara Stephens, and Martha Savage. It is hard to believe that those three, who were such youngsters when we knew them, could have attained such heights. Barbara then told us that while walking up Fifth Avenue a few days previously, she had met a very stylishly dressed woman who turned out to be no less than Maggie Dodge herself. She and Lynn are now the proprietors of an exclusive dress shop. We heard our train called, and by waiting to hear one more report that Lucille Shine, in our day a member of the illustrious eighth grade, is working hard for her Master's Degree, we almost missed it, but, after a mad rush, we pushed through the gates to our train and found our chairs. There in the ca1', sitting away at the other end was Ruth Gole- man. Neither of us had seen her for several years so our trip was made enjoyable by much interchange of Gray Court news. Ruthie herself is now a designer of distinctive gowns, and it surprised us greatly to hear that her latest customer had been June Melville. Para- mount's newest and greatest actress. Nonie has been married for sev- eral years and is enjoying her little home in Greenwich very much. Vivian Faulkner and Theresa Utitz are touring the country as concert pianists, and, while in the West, had seen Sylvia von Gontard, United States' champion skater. The train sped along a11d finally stopped at l?hiladelphia. The first person to get on the train was South, loaded with instruments and fol- lowed by several members of her famous orchestra, among whom were Gloria Steendal, pianist, and Mary Parmentcr, an expert at tl1e guitar. lt was so nice to see them again, and D. P. and South, who had not seen each other for two whole months, were especially elated! South told us that Betty Richmond has entered politics and is becoming a most proficient speaker, and that Blossom Rogers and Olga Hamilton are attending a Southern Vollege, where they are, without a doubt, the 33
