THE ECHO 19 4 8 The Class of 1948 has many bright prospects for the future in various and outstanding fields. Five of our imaginative Seniors will present a radio program on ' The Class of 1 948 Twenty Years From Now. ' ' Richard Stokinger. Announcer: This is station SHS twenty years from today contacting correspond- ents all over the globe. Our first correspondent to be heard from is Dorothy Skilling from Honolulu. Honolulu! Flash! Who, have we learned, is visit- ing this land of sunshine and flowers but Countess Diana Von Der Heide Ludwig, whose fame as a singer is second only to that of Jenny Lind? Diana, who was recently married to the very wealthy German Count Ludwig, is now here with the Count on their honeymoon. Dinner guests last evening of Count and Countess Ludwig were Wilfred Austin. President of Austin World Airways, and multimillionairess Bar- bara Clinton who has made all her money by growing rainbow-colored orchids on the South Sea Islands and shipping them by Austin Airways to the United States where they are sold at 5 and 10c stores. A letter was recently received by Miss Clinton from the Duke of Farrington (once Ronald Murphy of Holbrook, Massachusetts) and his wife, the Duchess, thanking Barbara for her invitation to a house party on her South Sea Island. The Duke in accepting the invita- tion said he couldn ' t wait to meet all these old friends of his. Paris! Flash! Terry has again become top designer of Paris and New York by showing her newest crea- tion — a sea green evening gown with an overskirt of green fishnet. T he commentators of Terry ' s fashion show at Paris have just discovered that her real name is Amelia Terrazano and that her famous model is Maureen Kelly. Maurie, who helped put Terry on her pedestal by modeling this sea-green creation, is not only the most popular model of the two fashion cen- ters, Paris and New York, but is also very happily married. Terry told reporters that her chief customer is Alice Dwyer, the wife of a well-known criminal lawyer whose summer home is at Cannes, here in France. Until Movie Star Van Stokinger — once called Richard — arrives from Hollywood to model his famous natural-looking permanent wave which is known as the Stokinger wave, we shall have nothing more to report so we return you to SHS Broadcasting Station in Holbrook. Massachusetts. This is Dorothy Skilling in Honolulu. Hawaii, signing off. Stokinger: Now back to station SHS where we will hear from Washington — Audrey Bond reporting. Washington: Word has just been received from London that Margie White, famous woman swimmer, has broken her previous record of 1:15:5 by swim- ming the English Channel in 1:14:4. Crowds met her on the shore and congratulated her with cheers and shouts. Margie, since bei ng graduated from Sum- ner High School, Holbrook, has devoted her life to training for this difficult feat. Washington — Flash! Our recently appointed Secre- tary of State. Raymond Taylor, is at the present deeply engrossed in the meeting of the United Nations at Lake Success where our Ambassador to Russia, none other than Richard Ernest, and good friend and former classmate of the Secretary, is advising him in debates with the Russian Foreign Minister, Moffon- off. Another news flash: Phyllis Harvey last night became president of the Buick Car Company. Miss Harvey is the company ' s first woman president. Washington: Dorothy Skilling, author of the best-selling book, The New Look,” has returned today from Paris where she has been giving lectures on dress designing. Dorothy Mercer, who designs the hair-dos to go with Miss Skilling’s costumes, ac- companied her. They were met at the airport by hun- dreds of designers of clothes and coiffures eager to learn the latest Paris trends. Word from the Medical World says that Mrs. Charles Mayo III, the former Marilyn Balch of Hol- brook, Massachusetts, has become superintendent of nurses at the famous Johns Hopkins Hospital. Al- though Mrs. Mayo has many competitors, she won the position because of her marvelous work in assisting with tonsilectomies. This is Audrey Bond in Washington, D. C., now returning you to Richard Stokinger in Holbrook, Massachusetts. Announcer: Next to come in is Boston where we will hear from two of our correspondents, Ronald Murphy and Helena Clifford. Boston — Helena Clifford, with Topics of the Day.

Another famous classmate. Jim Rayner, has come from his world-known Rayner’s Manor” in Wash- ington, D. C., to take charge of the banquet. As Jim now directs all official White House dinners, it was difficult for him to come for this occasion, but he was
