Jamsica Plain Biu.dn Library 1 r Sednwick Street Jamaica Plain, MA 02130-2897 i FOREWORD 1948. It is our year. It severs the first great Era of our lives and starts another. This year will end, for most of us, The life of school, and start The life in which we shall begin to live. It is an important year, a significant year, For in 1948 we graduate to A new life, a new age, and into The dawn of Our New Look. Now the world, a tir ed world, is striving To cast away that Old Look — The look of strife, of war, Of hate — the look of hopeless faces. Barren countries, broken cities, — The darkened look of disillusioned man. The Old Look is growing wan ; A New Look is glimmering through, and with it Come new hopes and plans and High ideals ; and, as it closes in. Woman snatches from the past The lengthened, loosened, hem and Claims her own New Look. We, of 1948, have a New Look, too, A look that faces the future. Behind us is our past. Our Old Look ; And now, we stand upon the threshold of This year, our lives before us. Ready to step into a new life, a new age, and Into the dawn of Our New Look. L. J. C. Jamaica Plain Jamaica Plain Branch Ubrary 12 Sedgwick Street Jamaica Plain. MA 02130-2897 Miah School To The Class of 194B Graduation from Senior High School is an important milestone in a young per- son ' s life. You will recognize this fact when you receive your high school diploma ; at that time you may look back reflectively upon the preceding years. During these youthful years your teachers tried diligently to develop in you a love of truth and of knowledge. As a result of this training, whether you enter the business or the professional field, you will possess a sense of moral rectitude, a trained intellect, and a strong habit of industry. These qualifications should guarantee to you success in your chosen field of endeavor. The faculty is proud of the class of 1948. Its scholarship achievement has been commendable. This Yearbook is evidence that you have put into its preparation much thought and labor ; the Clarion has won approval for its high quality. Your athletic program this year has earned the approval of the press and of the physical training department of the Boston Public Schools. The scholarships you have made possible and your charity are both worthy of praise. To this class, therefore, may I express my thanks for what you have done for the school. In my name and that of the faculty may I bid you Godspeed. Dur Faculty HEADMASTER John B. Casey AGRICULTURE Thomas P. Dooley Dennis M. Crowley Edward J. Donaghy John P. McDonough John W.

Page Eight I wonder if the Sophomores felt as we did when we entered good old J. P. High for the first time. Remember how we used to roam through the corridors like lost sheep during those first two weeks of agony ! Oh, yes, when we would ask some high-and-mighty Senior where the Gym was, she would send us all the way to the Assembly Hall. But, then, those were the good old days when the teachers didn ' t know the Saints from the Sinners. The Seniors had a play that year, and since we were such a brilliant class, we were privileged to have one lonely classmate, Charles Davenport, play the part of the perfect butler. During the year, we managed to take an active part in sports, and helped the Seniors maintain a fine record. Paul (Best Looking) Campbell, David Bradshaw, and Robert McGovern got an early start on the football team. They believe in starting young. The basketball team had two new members in Robert McKnight and Donald Shaw. With Robert on the team they didn ' t have to bother throwing the ball ; he just dropped it in the basket from above. A few pointers on how to play expert tennis were picked up by Marie Leonard and Helen Kondell at Fallon Field, as they represented our class in the Tennis Club. oom Fifth Row.

Bon jour, mon ami! ' That was Ellen Lewis and Mary Wesely greeting each other as they walked down the corridor toward the , anish and French Clubs. J O AlA I Turtles ! Whenever I think of turtles, I think of fountains, henever I think ▼of fountains, I think of Laurence Callanan. Remember that beautiful turtle-foun- tain at the Flower Show two years ago? Welij our own Laujence Callanan made Naturally it won a prize! (Jy(Xy7 ' UL rJ:: le-r ' As we had our little noses in everything that went on th f ear, we were also well represented at the Senior Prom. It was lots of fun even if the Seniocs_jlid look down on us. ' -- Ot OAft- di; Ho-hum, memories, memories, memories After spending the summer recuperating and resting our weary brains ( ?), we advanced to our Junior year (most of us, that is). As Juniors we managed to serve as stiff competition for the Seniors. It was in this year that Mr. Casey insti- tuted his Key Club for boys. Remember? Our school was privileged to have the first club of this kind in Boston. Naturally, there were many Junior boys among Poge Eleven the members. Dick Straughn was laying the foundations of his future poHtical career, for the next year he became president of the Key Club and president of our class. A new Health project was started for girls. It seemed queer to go to Health five days a week, but the course turned out to be not only instructive, but enter- taining. Will we ever forget the Variety Show that Miss O ' Malley so capably coached? It could almost have been called a Junior Variety Show, for the Juniors out- numbered all other performers. John Jackson this year proved to be our up-and coming football star. Base- ball, being a favorite sport and Boston a baseball center, we had three future Babe Ruths on our team : Sol Mouradian, Frank White, and Richard Jacobson. We were able to find out how Constance Boudreau and Helene Anderson kept [heir slender figures — they joined the Riding Club and kept slim the easy way. The Debating Club produced a few lady Daniel Websters : Alice Richmond, Joan McCarthy, and Helen Kondel. Then we were surprised one day to be called into the assembly to hear our own Louise Crowley speak about Junior Achieve- SiJirth Ron:: Daniel Hasenbine, Al- fred Hathaway, Nelson Sherman, John Baranofsky, Ronald Hill.

A. this afternoon? has become a familiar cry throughout the school. Arma vircumque cano A new Latin Club was chartered in our Junior Year. — Oh, the fun we had ! All our good times together there were climaxed by a real Roman Banquet at the home of our teacher, Miss Ruggles. The next day the whole school knew about how the dignified Latin Clubbers, wrapped in sheets- er-ah-togas — shouted Latin cheers till the shingles fell off the roof. Among the Junior Library Club members were Marie Regan and Ruth Ar- zoumanian. Little Ruthie certainly did work hard to get into the club, and she cer- tainly deserves praise for her success. The Clarion, that wonderful magazine published three times a year, needed some new writers and typists so Barbara Bennett, Barbara Beurman, Helene An- derson, Thelma Hanson, Elois Hersey, Ida Fenter, and Shirley Flynn began their careers early. Those days are gone forever — but better things were in store for us as J. P. Seniors. They await you, too. Sophomores and Juniors. E. H. T. H. Page Thirteen oom Sixth Row.

Fay Chapter The F.F.A. does not refer to first families, but to Future Fanners, a new or- ganization in our school. We are the L.eo D. Fay Chapter, named for Leo D. Fay, graduate, of Jamai ca Plain High School and the University of Massachusetts, an outstanding instructor at Bristol County Agricultural School when his career was cut short by World War II. Future Farmers of America is a national organization of agricultural students and has the sponsorship of the United States Government Office of Education. The organization is liberally supported by contributions from industrial leaders and groups interested in rural life. Thousands of dollars in prize money are distributed annually for excellence in judging, public speaking, and agricultural achievement. Our first activity was to enter Charles Kiddy in the State-wide F.F.A. Speak- ing Contest at Amherst. He had won in the District Speaking Contest against competition from Worcester North and Middleborough High Schools. Charles won second place at Amherst with his speech on the dairy cow, We Travel On Four Stomachs. On November 15 James Boyle, Paul Campbell, Robert Tonsberg, Franklin Champlin, and William Goodwin represented our chapter at the State Convention of the F.F.A. at Amherst. This year, we have conducted a hay-ride for our members and friends, served as co-sponsors of a Record Hop for Library funds, made Christmas decorations for sale, and continued with the Public Speaking Contest. On February 12, Robert Dunn. William Kavin, and John Campbell participated in the District F.F.A. Speaking Contest at Worcester North High School, with the result that Robert Dunn won second place and is to serve as an alternate speaker for the State Con- test in March. We are confident that the F.F.A. will continue to grow in popularity and influence at Jamaica Plain High and we shall sponsor numerous activities that will create in our students a wider interest in agriculture.

Did you ever wonder who those intellectual-looking (?) individuals were who stay behind the desk in the library? Well, you are about to find out. We are the Library Service Club. If, perchance, you wish to know where the camel got his hump, or why Jimmy Durante has a long nose, simply come to the library. We know it all — well nearly all. E. L. Page Fifty-Three Key Club The Key Club got off to a grand start this year under the guidance of Mr. Casey and Mr. Buck. The officers were Richard Straughn, President ; Paul McCon- I nell, Treasurer. The first project was to collect shoes and soap for the needy chil- dren overseas. Seven hundred bars of soap and two hundred and twenty-five pairs ) ' of shoes were generously contributed. Xext, the boys collected sixty dollars which was used to buy sweaters for chil- dren in Jamaica Plain ; these were given to them at a gay Christmas party. Grand work, boys ! J Late in January, a new club was formed under the sponsorship of the Key Club. i The Career Clinic, as it was called, has been held once a week for ten weeks. Lead- ing doctors, lawyers, bankers, and other career men have come to talk to us and to help us, boys and girls, choose our careers. On February 20, the talented pupils of the school entertained with a ' ariety Show to aid our scholarship fund. The show was a great success and much credit is due the Key Club and Miss Blessington for their help in preparing it. An athletic fund was started and different teams have been helped in various ways. During the year, record hops have been enjoyed, movies were shown, and other recreational i affairs have been given to help raise money for worthwhile purposes. The Forest Hills-Jamaica Plain Kiwanians are so grateful for the splendid work we have done that they are sending our President and our Treasurer to the National I Key Club Convention at Memphis, Tennessee. The Key Club ' s motto, We Build, has certainly been realized in the work i done bv the clul ) this year. Mav next vear ' s club be as successful ! ? ' ' ' J. T. !

Joseph Shea, Robert McGovern, Robert Shamma, Mr. Bond. Francis Barrett, Well, I guess there was a jinx on Mr. Bond and his boys this year in football. Thirteen lettermen of last year ' s team re- turned. The boys ran into tough right at the start, and it seemed to stay with them all season. They went into every game with real spirit and in every instance proved to be the better team, although the scores didn ' t show it. The boys were injury-ridden all season and were moral underdogs in every game. It is a fine tribute to Mr. Bond and his assistants, Mr. McDonough and Mr. Mealey, that every team we played had noth- ing but praise for the Purple and Gold. The boys worked hard all fall in the Caro- lina Ave. Dust Bowl. The team showed exceptionally fine spirit in showing up for practice consistently, especially after having lost game after game. It is one thing to be full of spirit and pep after a victory, but after a heartbreaking defeat — that ' s a dif- ferent story, and the fellows of Jamaica cer- tainly deserve plenty of credit on that end. Mr. Bond, James Boyle, Francis Barrett, Mr. Casey, Mr. McDonough, Mr. Duffey. Seniors on the varsity were Keating, Flet- cher and Clif¥ord ; Boyle, Finn, and White ; Connors, Dembro, Treanor, Scipione and Campbell ; Mouradian ; Jackson, McGovern, Bulger, Shamma, and Peterson. Seniors on the Junior Varsity were Moore, Costa, and Shaw. Juniors in line for praise are Furey, Sullivan, Puleo, and Stathe. It is to be mentioned gratefully, in passing, that Mr. Casey and the local Ki- wanis Club thought so much of Jamaica ' s boys that a sumptuous banquet was given as a reward for their splendid loyalty.

Our hockey team started off the season with the heavy end of the schedule. Dropping their first two games to RosHndale and South Boston respectively by the narrow margin of one point, they came smashing back to go on and finish the season undefeated and in record place. The most exciting game was with Hyde Park, undisputed district champions, when Hyde Park had to fight hard to come from behind and tie up the game. The starting lineup was picked from among these members of the squad — Bo- hane or Costa at center, Hufnagle, Garrity, Barrett, or Bissett at wings and Mac- Eachern, White, or Keating at defense with Bill Gorman in the net. Seniors on the squad were Cornelius Bohane, Francis- Barrett, Thomas Keat- ing, Stuart MacEachern, Frank White, William Gorman, Sol Mouradian, Paul Campbell, Ernest Costa and Manager John Moore Roslindale 2 Jamaica Plain 1 South Boston 2 Jamaica Plain 1 East Boston 0 Jamaica Plain 1 Charlestown 0 Jamaica Plain 3 Brandies Vocational 0 Jamaica Plain 11 Brighton 2 Jamaica Plain 5 Hyde Park 3 Jamaica Plain 3 P.

The final game with Hyde Park was another of the nip and tuck battles that this rivalry always produces.

Despite the fact that this year ' s squad lost Bill Jenkins, Xew England Broad Jump and Regimen- tal 300 and 220 yard champion, John Gavin, Dis- trict 1000 yard champion and record holder and Bill Cronin, District 600 yard champion, it gave a very creditable account of itself. After condi- tioning themselves in a few Quad meets, the boys entered co-favorites with Concord High in the State Meet Indoors Class D, but were unable to overcome Concord ' s early lead of 8 points in the shotput, and lost by 6 points. In the State Meet, John Jackson won the hur- dles and tied for fourth in the high jump; Robert Tonsberg, winner of the hurdles in the X. E. A. A. U. Meet at Maiden took second in the hurdles ; Robert Quinn pressed Sottile of Concord all the way in the 300 ; Robert Harmon won the mile in a photo-finish and also established the mile record automatically, as it was the first time that this event was run. John Fletcher, after leading most of the way in the 600 yard run, was just nosed out by a Milton boy. Joe Shea showed future promise with a. fast-finishing fourth in the 1000 yard run. The relay team composed of Quinn, Tonsberg. Fletcher, and Jackson won the Relay easily, in exceptionally fast time. In the February District Championship Meet at the East Armory, we came in fifth. Bob Quinn won the 600 yard run, his first race at that dis- tance, in record-breaking time ; Bob Tonsberg fin- ished third in the hurdles ; Bob Harmon took second in the mile, with Lucien Buck pulling in fourth in the same race. In the most exciting race of the day, the senior 440 yard run, John Fletcher caught Melia of Brighton on the last corner and won going away ; Lawrence Coppone. a steady performer all season, grabbed a third in the class D 176 yard run; Frank Coy and John Pokorski battled it out on the stretch of the 600 yard run to finish third and fourth respectively to Bob Quinn. X ' incent Scipione finished fourth in the Broad jump and Ed Bulger gave us a third in the High Jump. Sol Mou radian placed third in the 300 yard run. Our two-lap relay team of Quinn, Tonsberg. Fletcher, and Jackson won both the District and Regimental events and the Medley team of Cop- pone, Rock Shea and Pokorski won the District Events. Harry Alajajian. Jimmy Boyle. Ed Con - nors, and Robert IaiIiv are other seniors who picked up many points in the Quad Meets to help out in a most interesting season. Much credit is due to the whole hard-working squad for bringing great honor to Jamaica Plain High School. R. McG.

Campion, Advisor Class History The day was rainy and dark, on that dim morn- ing in September, 1945. Jamaica Plain High School resembled a medieval castle, solid and for- midable, with its turrets and towers rising out of the gloom. But we, bright-eyed little innocents, walked toward it with thumping hearts, oblivious of the damage that the drizzle was wreaking on our back-to-school finery. This was the first day in our high school life, and in our ears the word sophomore resounded with a noble ring. Reach- ing the arched doors, we gathered our damp weeds about us, and with timorous steps, entered into the dusky vestibule. There we were met with the cold scrutiny of Pallas Athena, glaring out at us from under her respective layers of dust. From there we were herded up into the auditorium, which was full of interesting surprises. One of them was that the seats could be transformed into desks, com- plete with inkwells, by a simple twist of the wrist ; and they also could resound to the floor with a clatter when effectively pushed. The wall in back of the stage was a fascinating pattern of multi- colored streaks, resembling prehistoric stalactites. There was a great deal of speculation among the boys as to what would happen if the chandeliers overhead suddenly dropped on a capacity audi- ence. (Remember, we were only sophomores.) Finally, Mr. Casey lectured us on the rules of the school and assigned us to our nervous homeroom teachers. (And although we were a little disap- pointed, I don ' t think anyone reminded Mr. Casey that he forgot to put boys in the girls ' homerooms.) That day was a busy one. First, we were handed our programs for the year, which re- sembled faulty reproductions of the Rosetfa Stone. Our teachers were patient enough in deciphering them, but I don ' t think I ever found out whether X meant drill or gym ; so when third period came along, I just followed the crowd. We learned that the school was divided into a new building and an old building, both of which were old and easy to get lost in. Moreover, the success of the lunch periods depended on who was in which building the fifth period ; this being the main reason why so many confused sophomores turned up for first lunch. And we learned a little about school eti- quette, too. It didn ' t take the boys long to find out that the main stairs were strictly feminine, or that on entering the school in the morning, please use the rear door. A few girls used the stairway marked Fire Exit, but only on the first day ; and one girl wandered up the stairs by 314, looking for the third floor. On the whole, our first day at Jamaica was in- teresting and exciting, and when the bell rang for dismissal, the sun was shining, our faces were ra- diant, and we were looking forward to three years of eventful high school life. As we settled into our sophomore year, every- thing wasn ' t so delightfully ecstatic as we had ex- pected. In the first place, there were other per- sons in the building besides teachers and janitors, and they went by the name of juniors and seniors. The juniors we didn ' t mind so much — they looked at us, and spoke to us on occasions, and even if they didn ' t acknowledge us, they at least sensed our presence. But the seniors — those lofty indi- viduals, those full-grown adults who looked and acted as though they were just one rung below the seraphim — they were our constant antagonists. Whenever they were around, they had a way of making us feel like plebeians in a market place, or to borrow from Ogden Nash, like, uppity apes in a jungle. The boys will often remark in later years of how much fun they had, marching back and forth, in the dead of winter, to Curtis Hall, where Mr. Bond, our brand-new coach, ran them through calisthenics. That winter air was so invigorating, and they always got back just in time to be late for class. They ' ll also remember, with tears in their eyes, how the drill instructor marched them from school to Franklin Park and back again, in blus- tering May weather. They swam back ! Despite our heart breaking trials and tribula- tions, we sophomores did have an admirable class. Barbara Beurman, Ida Fentor, Ellen Lewis, and others achieved high degrees in scholarship. The agricultural sophs snagged a few prizes for them- selves, and we figured prominently in the art and literary awards made that year. All in all, we did a fairly good job, and deserved whole-heartedly the summer vacation, when it fi- nally rolled around. The fall of 1946 found most of us back at it again, only this time we were confident, poised juniors. Above us were the seniors, not lofty at all ; they were just last year ' s juniors, promoted up to the highest notch, and they couldn ' t put any- thing over on us. Below us was a new crop of awkward sophomores, noisy and bungling; it seemed as though the younger set grew worse and worse each year. We knew the school inside out, and it seemed practically impossible that we could have been at a loss for a minute. How could we ever have lost ourselves in those familiar corri- dors or unconsciously drunk water from bubblers that squirted six feet in the air when first used in the morning? ■ Mr. Casey originated the Key Club that year, and many of the boys in the junior class were in- vited to join. The Key Club, as you know, is a junior division of the well-known Kiwanis Inter- national. Jamaica ' s Key Club was the first in Bos- ton, and third in New England. The Club did well for its first year, variety shows, in which Hum and Strum, former pupils of Mr. Casey ' s participated, the clothing drive for the successful rummage sales and other meritorious campaigns, led to the establishment of a fund for scholarship and Athletic awards. Page Sixty-Four The girls had to take a five-period-a-week ex- perimental course in Hygiene, which should have taught them something about the human body. Driving lessons were also included in this course. Somehow the boys managed to evade it, and in- stead they studied Boston ' s water system, first aid. and other hygienic subjects under Mr. Bond. However, the boys made up for it in gym. Mr. Bond made them take a series of back-breaking tests, the same as those given to entrance appli- cants at West Point. We think he did it just to see how much the hinnan body could stand. Now that we had matured mentally enough to take on responsibilities, a few of us worked under Mr. Cunningham for the Clarion. Among these literal aspirants were Helene Anderson, Barbara Beurman, Thelma Hanson, Ed Finn, and many others. Maybe it was just a coincidence, but the Clarion was awarded three prizes by Elizabeth Watts, editor of the column, Vnder 21, on behalf of the Boston Globe. The library service club was made up of quite a few capable juniors, who helped Miss James in every way possible. The record hops put on by the library were successful enough to enable Miss James to purchase new books for our own librarv and the library of the Veteran ' s Hospital. Our Junior Year was marked by hard study on everyone ' s part, especially those in the college course. Mr. Casey advised all tho.se who expected to attend college after graduation to work dili- gently, as the cramped conditions of the colleges enabled them to pick the cream of the students. Toward the end of the year, most of the agricul- tural students were released for outside work on farms. This left wide gaps in our midst. And when the seniors left in the latter part of May, the school seemed empty. Finally, the remaining few of us straggled out in June, ready to recuperate in the sun, and think about our next and la.st event- ful year in school. When we came back in September, 1947, we had come into a new, a difYerent, a greatly changed year. To start with, we were mildly shocked and pleased to see that at last, the boys and girls were grou])ed together in the same homerooms. AVe could now say that the school was completely co- ed. Another little surprise was the appearance of small growths among the lower classmen who came up to our knees and who were called freshmen. They knew their place, however, which is more than can be said for the other lower classmen, especially the juniors. The new look was coming in. All over the school girls could be seen tripping along the cor- ridors in their long skirts, trying to look polished and debonais. but nearly breaking their necks on the stairs. The Cheni lab was a fascination to us. lust think! Our own little bunsen burners, test tubes, etc., in our own little desks. Remember when Helene .Anderson thrust her tube of impure hy- drogen in the Bunsen flame? The loud pip even caught Mr. Donellan off guard. It was in- teresting to note that Helene was always a lady, even on such unexpected moments as this. All she said was Goodness Gracious. The year rushed in and took us by surprise. We had hardly taken up the practice of looking like superior beings before we were whisked away to Purdy ' s for pictures. And then the ring salesman came unexpectedly. The election of the officers and councilmen followed in close pursuit. Each home room made a wise selection, and the group of councilmen lived up to their duties admirably. The election of the class officers was something more in the line of an ordeal. After the speeches had died down, and the smoke had cleared away, it was found that Dick Straughn was elected pres- ident, John Treanor, vice-president, Betty Kelly, secretary, and Robert Kelley, treasurer. The Clarion was set in motion by Mr. Cunning- ham, as he appointed Barbara Beurman, editor, and the old faithful juniors of last year associate editors. There have been several interesting and readable stories published in the Clarion, and quite a few people have praised the published issues. The Yearbook committee started off at a slow pace, and as usual worked itself into a frenzy try- ing to meet the deadline. Under Miss Donlan ' s capable leadership, we think this year ' s Yearbook is the most original yet published by this school. It reflects the new look of America, so complexly wrapped up in modern American life. We hope you like it. The Key Club did a great deal this year for the benefit of the school. The variety shows, the Christman Campaign, the Shoes and Soap cam- paigns, the record hops — all went toward increas- ing the amount of the scholarship, athletic, and other funds of the school. Dick Straughn was chosen President of the Key Club, with Paul Mc- Connell as Secretary-Treasurer. Paul Campbell was the great statesman from J. P. We were a little disappointed, though, when he refused to brmg up the bdl forbiddmg school on week days, but maybe those other teen-age legislators would have been narrow-minded enough to object to it, anyhow. There is a lot of unfinished business which I cannot record, because it has not yet taken place. The school prom will be held on April the six- teenth, long after this has gone to press. AW 1 can say is that I know it will be a success. The Prize Drill and School-Boy Parade will take place later on, too. May the best company win. The one drawback about recording a class his- tory is that it ends right here. 1 wish 1 could add to this imperfect chronicle the history that the (graduation class is going to make in the futm-e. but that is up to you. Yom ' history will go the way you want it to go. And you ' ll succeed onlv iif you want to succeed. I think it would be a little easier going, if once in a while, you looked back at your days at Jamaica. L. J. C. Page Sixty-Five Chronicles of Jamaica Plain High Class of 1348 linw: 1960. Scotc: The editor ' s oHice of the Boston Globe. Mary Ahern, editor and author of the hook of the month Chronicles of Jamaica Plain High is holding a meeting with her si.x co-authors and for- mer school chums. These si.x women are all out- standing in some field. Among them are ( 1 ) Lois McCabe — foremost chemist t)f the world who has made many discoveries to aid man-kind. Lois has been touring the world while waiting for her new laboratory to be constructed. It seems she had a little trouble with the last e.xperiment. (2) Thelma Hanson — singing sensation of the I ' nited States and Lurope. She is a brilliant con- cert star and also has three radio programs. Along with these other accomplishments Thelma has just been named Miss Disc Jockey of 1960. I 3) Ellen Lewis — an international interj reter who has mastered eight languages.

Through means of my many different assignments I have often run into many of my former school chums from J. P. It was during one of these as- sigiunents that I decided a book should be written which would immortalize J. P. and it ' s illustrious -graduates of 1948. My first source of material was obtained at Fen- way Park where I was sent to cover the Red Sox- Yankee game for our sports writer who was sick. You can imagine my surprise when the aimounce- ment was made that Lc ty Goode would pitch for Boston. I had heard about Lefty ' s great success as a pitcher but as yet hadn ' t had a chance to see him in action. Seeing there was still twenty min- utes before the start of the game I went down front to watch Lefty practice that famous curve he is so well known for. As I was admiring Lefty and hojiing for an autograph who should come along l)ut Charles Davenport. We had a long talk con- cerning the shoe business and Charles had many interesting stories to tell about his adventures as a traveling salesman. I was so interested in what he was saying that 1 didn ' t even notice Donald Bellanyer approach. It seemed he and Charles had a Inisiness conference and were going to hold it at Fenway Park. With Don came his secretary Janet Brickley. I had noticed Donald wasn ' t in a very good mood and later found out it was be- cause Janet had arrived at the office at 9 :30 instead of 9. But Janet assured me it was not her fault and she was quite positive that the clocks were quite fast. The game was especiall}- exciting that da_ - be- cause Lefty was being honored by the fans and was given many presents, the most spectacular one being a large Guernsey Cow presented to him by the Har-Gor dairy farm — Robert Harmon and William Gorman prop. Another present was a beautiful bat made of the finest wood in the county. It was given to Lefty by that eminent surgeon — tree surgeon that is — David Bradsliai ' . With the bat came a large cabinet in which it could be put for safekeeping. Xaturall - this was made by none other than the world ' s greatest cabinet-maker Frank Bennef. The i)art 1 like best about newspaper reporting is interviewing big stage and screen-stars, and any celebrities who happen to be in town. Just the other day, I had the pleasure of interviewing Do- lores Anastor and Barbara Ardrey. both of whom are starred in the Broadwa}- musical Dui-Diddy. My next stop that day was to interview Bettx Coyle. Betty has taken over Arthur Murray ' s dance school and her new dance, the Hula Dula, is the rage of the L nited States. Betty told me that she travels all over the world teaching this dance and while she was in Bermuda she ran into Annalicse Braun and Garry honeymooning there. She also met Ida Fenter vacationing there. Ida sure has gone places in the business world. She now owns the Fenter Friendly Finance Co. and is doing very well. .A. few days after my meeting with Betty, I was given a Xew York assignment. The first person I saw when I arrived at the airport was Patricia Dyer. Pat looked simply gorgeous in her airline hostess uniform. 1 was quite pleased to learn that she was going to be the hostess on my trip. I was even more pleased and also surprised when I found out that four of my old friends from J. P. were also going to make the trip with me. They were Ruth Arzourmanian who is now an English teacher at J. P. She says she is trying to be a good Successor to Mr. Cunningham. Margaret Campbell who teaches both chemistrv and Latin at J. P. a. Page Sixty-Six Dorothy Baltuscs was flying to New York to pick up some suits. She is now managing the sport shop at Stern ' s and is head Iiuyer there. Dor- othy by the way was wearing Ahce W ' liite ' s new creation the (jownless Strap and k)oked k)vely. The fourth member of our former Ahna Alater to make the trip was Pat Algaicr. Pat ow-ns a cliain of five and tens and was going to Xew ' ork to see about btiying some more. I must say here that Pat achieved her goal in hfe and married a ery nice fellow — I believe his name is Don. Completing my assignment in Xew ' ork. I hur- ried back to Boston, because I had received an ur- gent phone call from my private i ' nformer. Eleanor Coplcn. Whatever news I happen to miss Eleanor always manages to find out. Eleanor met me at the airport and w-ithout saying a word rushed me to the State House and to the room where the senate was in session. Look said Eleanor point- ing to the speaker. Look, I did. and who should I see l)ut Connie Roitdrcau. Why the last time I had heard from Iter she was training the chorus line for Billy Rose ' s Diamond Horseshoe. What- ever was she doing here? I soon foimd out. She was trying to put through the Boudreau ]:?an. It seems Connie had never given up the idea that there should l)e a B period every day and if she has her way from now on there will be. 1 cannot end this chapter without giving many thanks to Doris Hozi ' cn, chief long-distance opera- tor. You ' d be surprised how much one can learn from an operator. Many times she has given me a front page story. I rushed the story of the Boudreau Plan to my most competent secreary Marion Callanan and asked her to type it immediately. Marion said she was sorry, l)ut she was in the middle of polishing her nails and handed it to Jlrginia Breen. Be- tween Marion and irginia my articles are always well-typed. If they by any chance fail me Mar- gncritc Cro dey is always very well and most able to take over. Mary Aiiern 102. Right after my laboratory blew uj), I went on a lecture tour of the United States, primarily to search for my two assi.stants, Bctt Lou Goodearl and Helen Ishcrg. The last I saw of them they were flying Soutli. On my way to Xew ' ork Citv, 1 stopped off to see Marie Leonard at Yale where she is a profes- sor of English Literature. Some of her students told me that ear plugs are sold daily at the door of her classroom. Miile in X ew ' ork, 1 managed to visit a fa ' Shion show. Joan }L-Cartliy was one of the lovely Harry Conover iNIodels present. We li;i(l lunch with Anna Buchan and .Uicia Murray. -Anna inherited a large fortune from her twenty- fifth cousin ' s mother-in-law and is living in a pent house. .Alicia is editor oi a leading fashion maga- zine. Don ' t miss her latest book, Memorable Memoirs of Mtirray, IncorjMirated. They told me that Doris Miller won the Mrs. America con- test this year. I gtiess she found that perfect srjn- in-law for her mother. We met John Lima who w ' as in New York on a week-end pass from Camp Kilmer, New Jersey. After all these years of gru- eling work John has finally obtained the rank of sergeant in the United States .Army. From N ew York 1 flew to Washington, D. C. At the National Airport I met Alice Milliken who is a secretary for the Trans-Cloud Airlines. She told me that she liked her work very much, but she was getting tired of parachuting home froni work every day. You will never guess whom 1 visited in Washington. Well, it was Edzvard Con- nors, Secretary of Agriculture, and Mrs. Secretary of Agriculture was none other than our Betty Cannody. They are occupying the guest suite at the White House until the housing .shortage eases up. My next stop was Florida where I had a chance to visit Phyllis McGoivan ' s Beauty Salon. She invited me out to her twenty-five room house over- looking the ocean, for a party she was giving. There was plenty of excitement and Eddie Lough- lin was there to photograph it all for Lifetime Magazine. I made various stops along the wa ' bm I fi- nally landed in Simny California. W ' hile taking a side trip I passed several of Henry McCarthy ' s Service Stations. He has been (juite successful since he started sterilizing the air before ptitting it in the tires. 1 also saw the eighth wonder of tlie world, Patricia Mitchell and her Certain Irish- man ' s trailer. It is the largest one in the world. Evidently they have caused qtiite a sensation in their travels. From .Sunny California to Snowy Minnesota was next on my schedule. This .state seems to have claimed quite a few Jamaica Plain graduates. James MacPhec and Richard Kane have a famotis dairy farm. They have done away with the sepa- rator in the dairy business as they have two vari- eties of cows — one gives milk and the other gives cream. During my inspection toiu ' of the Mayo C linic I met oiu ' two famotis nurses. Joan Saun- ders and Xornni Langlois. I hear they have ([uite a time getting rid of their patients. Do you blame the patients for wanting to stav around their two cheerful nurses ? My but it was nice to get back to Boston after my trip! Xaturally 1 tuned into WliDH on my first (lay liack home to hear Frank White and Stuart . LicEacliern ' s Disc Jockev show. They are exceptionally pojnilar as Frank is the catcher on the Red Sox ' s team and . tuart is the star defense man on the Bruin ' s team. They ])lay the records of I ' ictor Mayer and lii madcats daily. A ' ictor curently has a two week engage- ment at the Totem Pole. Pare Sixtv-Seven 1 visited our Alma Mater a short time ago and I believe that Helen McMahon is as well known there now as she was in 1948. She has started a home to school bus service for all Seniors. ( School was never like that in our days. ) I was out at St. Elizabeth ' s Hospital yesterda} ' . The first two people I met were Susan Mazlun- mian and Antoinette Mitchell. Susan is the world ' s leading psychiatrist. Nette told me on the side that more and more Jamaica Plain graduates are finding it necessary to consult Sue. Sue said she was afraid her career would have to part as she has her hands full with Big Sol and Little Sol. Sol has made quite a success of himself. You must have heard of the Mouradian jet Car. Dor- othy Magiiire and Florence Millan are secretaries at the hospital. They told me they were so tired of typing all day that they were planning to invent a tyj ewriter without keys. Mental telepathy is the only key to it. Allen MacPherson also works at the hospital as an accountant. I was told he had a hard time concentrating on the right kind of figures. 1 was reading the Boston Globe the other day when I noticed that Anna MonaJian and Jean Miirrav are on the career clinic program in the Boston High Schools. I guess that is due to their excellent work as Dental Hygienists. Did you read the article about Daind Lilly and his skinless potatoes and shell-less peanuts? They say he is apt to revolutionize the food world. I just g(jt a flash that Betty Lou Goodearl and Helen Ishercj have married Hilly Billys in the Ozarks. Lois McCabe 204. apler 3 A few weeks ago, while giving a guest perfor- mance at a new Hollywood night club, I was very much surprised and elated to see scj many of m - former classmates there. Frank Barrett was seated at a ring-side table looking very prosperous indeed. He had suc- ceeded, during the past several years, in building up a large business manufacturing and selling shock-proof football uniforms. Seated beside him were two very charming young ladies whom I rec- ognized to be Jeannine Finniara, and Frances Gio- vanello, Frank ' s secretaries. Frank informed me that Barbara M alloy and Lorraine Murphy were also in his employment. At the table next to Frank ' s sat James Quinlan, Richard Bradley, and IVilliam Berry, who had started a school to train boys to be their own bosses. Turning away, I met Jimmy Boyle and his pretty wife, the former Marilyn Carter. He now has one of the most prosperous farms in the state. Two other couples who had entered with Jim and Marilyn were the former Rita Oberlander and her famous doctor husband, and Mrs. IVilliam T. Par- low, the former Marjorie Ducrden. Jim told me that Boh Dunn was another Jamaica Plain boy who had made good. Bob had just invented a machine that would gather eggs and either scram- ble, boil, or fry them as it went along. At a neighboring table, I recognized Frank Dembro and June Harrington. Frank and June had been in a group that had just returned from a tour of the world. They had been sent by the United States government to get information con- cerning pest control. They told me that they had visited the (Olympic e.xhibitions in Switzerland, and had seen Chryssoula and Helen Hatcis, our two leading Olympic champions, chalk up many points for the U. S. Jean Kennedy was also doing a fine job in the Olympic skating contests. Getting a little warm from the heat and the ex- citement, I went out into the hall for a little fresh air. There, at the switch-board, I saw Peggy Do- lan. Peggy was talking with Fred Szciechozvisc. the noted tropical fish collector, and Catherine Taylor, airline hostess on the Sacred Ox, the new atomic Transport plane which had just finished its record-breaking flight around the world. Mar- jorie Curley, the television star, was also there. Just as I turned to go inside again, I saw bright lights flashing in all directions. Being curious, I turned and saw Lorraine Kent and Lorraine Mur- phy dashing around getting all the celebrities pic- tures. The two Lorraines were the leading pho- tographers for the Movieland Magazine. They ' told me they had just come from the new hit show, Look Ma, Kelley ' s Dancing, in which Bettv Kelley had the leading part. The famous acrobatic dancer, Shirley Flynn, also had one of the leading parts. I then went back stage to get ready for my number. As I passed the girls ' dressing room, I saw Lorraine Gogucn, owner of Mademoiselle Goguen ' s beauty salon, giving a few fast touches to the girls ' hair, while Lorraine Boucher, famous beauty consultant and founder of the Boucher Cosmetics, was making the girls up. Just then Phyllis Heime, who was making her debut as a concert pianist, came out of her dressing room with a beautiful corsage that some admirer had ' Sent to her. She told me the flowers had come from Mabel George ' s florist shop. Mabel had opened several shops in Hollywood and was be- coming very successful. After my number, I went back to my dressing room only to find my old friend Barbara Beurman waiting for me. Barbara was now known through- out the world not only as a famous surgeon, but also as the author of several best-sellers, including Forever Violet, and Gone With the Tornado. I learned from her that Hclene Anderson had been appointed head of the Home Economics De- partment at Simmons, and Elois Hersey, now Mrs. Bob Nichols, was helping her famous chemist husband in his research with metals. She also in- formed me that Renata Hampe had finally married her Joey. Page Sixty-Eight As 1 left the Club that evening, I .saw I ' iola Mi- landri, the well known researcher, trying desper- ately to analyze the contents of her hors d ' ouvres ! Thelma Hanson 113. apter 4 As owner of Grand Central Station, 1 spend a great deal of my time there. From my private ofifice I watch the crowds going to and from trains. Just the other day I saw Francis Holland going by with several live chickens under his arm. I found out later that he owns a chicken farm. He lives, by the way, near John Dacey, King of the Dairy Farmers. Richard Cassidy lives near there, too. He ' s a plant propagator. On the ceiling of Grand Central Station is a mural of the First Lady, Ruth Sahadini. This was painted by Kathryn Ciirlev. one of the na- tion ' s best artists. For her next subjects Kay will paint. Powers and Conover Models respectively, Beverly Davis and Beniice Crocker, better known as Candy Davis and Cookie Crocker. She will also paint Dorofhv Carty, leading star of stage and radio. Lillian G ' lynn, who is my private secretary, meets quite a few Boston people and reports to me about them. Paul Campbell is head of the forest rangers in Yellowstone National Park. Which reminds me I saw Larvrencc Callanan last week passing through the station with his orchestra, the Boston Symphony, of course. Alice Begin was with them as business secretary. Patricia Burke, who used •to know Alice, is an accountant for the firm of Cantor Sons Jewelers. Marvin Cantor, who formed the business, sells diamonds at half price to J. P. men of ' 48. Marvin recently had a valu- able stone stolen. Paul Lennon recovered it and was then promoted to head of the Boston Detec- tive Bureau. John Conroy is also in business for himself. He is a florist. Constance Careless works for Edzvard Fiskc now. Edward ' s one of the leading prosecuting attorneys of the country and Connie is his private secretary. Ernest Costa used to be a partner of Edward ' s but Ernest has recently been appointed as ambassador to Peru. Elisabeth Connoly went to business school and af- ter her graduatif)n she became the Dean of the school. Mary Clancy, Dorothy Davics. and Mary Dcsto all work in New York. Mary Clancy is now an idea man for Batton, Barton, Durstine and Os- born. Dorothy Davies went into radio . She con- ducts a women ' s cf)oking hour. Mary Desto is her manager and helps her prepare her scripts. Rob- ert D ' Angelo is also living out of town, in Wash- ington, D. C. He is statistician for the govern- ment. Florence Hardiman is a buyer for ' orth ' s in Texas. Mary Connoughton and Anna D ' Amato are still in Boston as secretaries to the president of a local firm. Joseph Rennet and .Xornui Mat- thez . ' s. both C. 1 ' . A. ' s, have formed their own business which flourishes around March 15th. These and many other Boston people are con- stantly passing through Grand Central. When 1 was abroad, 1 met a nunil)er of people from |. P. You would be surprised liow we get around ! Remember Marga Keiderling.- I met her and her husband coming out of a hotel in Paris. He ' s a movie star in Hollywood. .She said she wasn ' t the only millionaire from our class. .11 Lennon made a million dollars a year selling moth ball.- that are square instead of round. She told me Ed Finn and Dick .S ' traiighii art both running for ])resident here in America. You know that didn ' t surprise me one bit. Before I left Paris, I bum])ed into Fred Mc- Nultx, Ace I Ceating and Diiity Moore. They were busily occupied in painting the town red. In Marseilles, 1 found Molly Horrigan and Keke Machakos. They are the official testers of the company that manufactures Come Hither perfume. They seem to get results, too. On the road from Marseilles to Rome I saw .Norma Landry driving her new roadster — one of those designed by Bob Kclle . She was racing the train. She won ! When the train reached Naples, there was a crash, and the next thing I knew I was in a hos- pital. Heloi Murray, Dottie K.earns, and Eleanor Johnson were nurses there. They seemed quite popular with the patients. The Italians like their charming American accent. Finally, I reached the American embassy in Rome. They have many secretaries there. Eileen Knell, Ruth Lang, Gloria Goss, Mary Pope and Dorothv McKenny all heard that there was a woman shortage in Italy, so they left their bosses and went there. They all seem to like it very much. They told me that Bob Johnson, the new chief of the world police force, had stopped by there re- cently on his way to poke a hole through the iron curtain. Jackie Cusliiiifi is in the world police force, too. .She ' s the onl - police woman in Rome. . he likes it. I saw Jim Lennon in the embassy. He came there to teach scientific farming to the Italians. He ' s such a busy man that he has two secretaries — Fra)ices Cytlou and Catherine Hoi r. Thev help him correct his papers and scold his la y jiupils. About a week later, I met Marie Regan. She conducts a tour of girls from her private school in Boston through Euro])e every year. She told me that Mary Leiuion and Barbara Bennett were teaching in her school. 1 wonder how much those pupils learn. Well, 1 think that ' s all the news from iuiro])e. Ei.i.EN Li-.wis 202. (3! Page Sixty-Nii Last week wlien I was in Kentucky 1 met .1 ; - ricl He noil at llie horse races. 1 was very niucli surprised to see her and to discover that one of her famous horses liad won the Kentucky Derby. Muriel, however, has to take care of the horse end of this business only, because her husband. Cuiic- liits Bohanc, takes care of all the financial matters. He is quite the business man, I hear, and is known as a great humanitarian because he has built the Grovenors, a modern spa on the site of the old one. After leaving Muriel, I happened to see a man quite disturl)cd because his horse hadn ' t come in. W hen 1 looked closer I found it to be no other than Robert McGauii. Upon talking to him I found out that he is now the Professor of Ameri- can History at Duke University where he is quite contented because of the vast number of co-eds. As I was talking to Bob I noticed a head of red hair that looked vaguely familiar. Yes, it was Gloria Poiiiclli who is one of our top notch in- terior decorators. About a month ago Gloria dec- orated Burt Laiicastor ' s house for him. She is now Mrs Burt Lancastor ! Gloria told him that her friend Marie O ' Siillivaii made quite a career for herself and 1 agree for Marie is now one of the top executives at Saks Fifth Avenue and owns half the business. Helen Ncuioii is Marie ' s very efficient secretary. Last year .she was voted Miss Model Secretary of 1959. Gloria also told me that Helen O ' Brien, the president of Filene ' s de- partment store is giving Ruth Robinson, the pres- ident of Jordan Marsh ' s quite a bit of competition. I also found out that Jennie Romano has opened up an exclusive beauty salon in Beverly Hills and caters to all the movie stars. After leaving Gloria I discovered that it was quite late and that I was due in New York that evening. I hailed a taxi and soon I arrived at the airport. It didn ' t take me long ot discover that the beautiful uniformed hostess was Claire Mann. In the course of our conversation I found out that Edwina McLean, who after setting a new speed record for flying around the world, had settled down to handle the business end of flying and now was the owner of this airway. Claire also told me that her friend Helen Doyle had become tired of traveling on the earth and now was waiting for a reservation on the next rocket ship to Mars. Lo- retta O ' Connor, another hostess I was told, had been in an airplane accident while flying over Alaska. She was presented a medal the other da by the president for her courageous behavit)r. When I landed at New York, Mayor Vincent Scipione was there to present me with the key to the city. Vincent has been reelected seven times and in his spare time he serves as president of the Game Wardens ' Association. The mayor also informed me that Edward Morrissey was now the Police Commissioner of the city, and that Walter Peterson is the Petrillo of the taxicab business. Walter owns all the big cal) coinpanies and has revolutionized the business by giving all his cus- tomers cigars and cigarettes along with the ride. I also found out that Theresa Rujrano and Eileen Roland were two of the city ' s best secretaries until they married their respective bosses. I soon had to leave the mayor and get into one of Walter Peterson ' s cabs which would take me to my suite at the Waldorf Astoria. While riding I looked up through the open top of the cab to see a smoke add in the sky. It told me that I should drink Milk from McConnell ' s Cow. Yes, it seems that after graduating from college, Paul Mc- Connell opened up a dairy farm and the Con- tented McConnell Cow is now giving Elsie the Borden Cow quite a bit of competition. Before I knew it, we had arrived at the Waldorf and I soon was in this beautiful hotel. The elevators were out of order so I had to walk up to my suite on the 81st floor. As I was climb- ing up to the 21st floor I noticed two adorable lit- tle twins who were causing their mother quite a bit of troul)le because they wouldn ' t go any fur- ther. Upon closer inspection I found that their mother was none other than Eileen Reynolds. It seems that her Bobby is now an Admiral in the U. S. Navy, but in her spare time Eileen and her children pose for the covers of Ladies Home lour- nal and other such magazines. As I jnifted up toward the 34th floor I heard ai)plause and being- curious 1 looked into the door of the Flamingo Room to find Ann White, the famous child psy- chologist giving a lecture on The Lazy Child. When I reached the 80th floor I I)umped into an old friend of mine, Loretta Ford. I had not seen Loretta since our college days, but I soon found out that after being a kindergarten teacher for sev- eral years, she retired and married the .Superin- tendant of Schools, so she could start a kinder- garten of her own. Finally, I arrived at my suite and just had time enough to dress for dinner. At eight my car ar- rived and I set out to go to Dinty Moore ' s Dia- mond Shanu ock for dinner. After finishing col- lege John Moore opened uj) this great nightclub and since has put Billy Rose out of business. Looking across over the tables I saw Beatrice Rivard and Alice Noseivorthy, still together, din- ing with two huge hunks of man. Alice and Bea- trice are special nurses for they work only in the ward where the injured football players are brought, which explains the handsome men. The chief physician at the hospital where they work is one of J. P. ' s most brilliant students. Donald Ma- gee. At this point my turkey dinner arrived and 1 was assured by the waiter that the bird was the best ol)tainable in the country, since it had come from Robert Liiby ' s turkey farm. Red has be- come (|uite famous because of the hybrid he has (le elo])ed. It is a turkey with the tail feathers of a peacock. Poge Seventy After dinner I went to the Shubert to tlie pre- miere of Alice Ricltinond ' s new play, Forever Alice, written by Alice herself. It had formerly been a novel and after much controversy was made into a play. I was disappointed, however, because at the last minute the understudy had to take the lead because Alice had eloped with the piccolo player. She always did love music ! At intermision I was surjjrised to see that my neighbor was Ditlcie O ' Handly. It seems that Dulcie was in New York to see all the latest plays, so that she could go back to Boston and tell her pupils all al|out them. She is the head of the En- glish department at English High School. When I went out into the lobby, I Immped into a tall, handsome naval officer who turned out to be Xor- man Pyott. He has become so important that next week he is to get his own ship. He was with Stephen O ' Neil who is now the owner of a large necktie concern. Stephen always did like neckties. As I was walking back to my seat I met Helen Quattrochi and Hell ma Neudorj. They are both successful owners of a world wide public stenog- rapher ' s company. Vivian Brochec is their rep- resentative in Paris. They told me that Rita Ran is now one of the top executives at the Bell Tele- phone Company. After a very enjoyable evening I went home happy to know that so many of m former classmates were now so successful. aptet 7 Spring! 1960! AJy, how time flies! I am on my way to meet Florence Sanders, director of the famous school for models, to take in a fashion show given by Bonwit Teller ' s. Having left a few minutes early, I stop at Joan ' s Gift and Novelty Shop to buy a card for Roberta Spiegelhalter who has just had her third child. Upon entering I learn that Joan Anderson is owner of the shop. She gained her experience at the well-known card shop in J. P. Among the many things we discuss, here are a few of the highlights. ] ' irginia Sousa is now a singing teacher, while Lecky J arkas is doing a marvelous job in a one-man show of mimicry at the Astor Theater. Emily Sullivan has won fame on the ice and is now the World ' s Champion Figure Skater. Jim Wholly is still in the Real Estate Business trying to sell igloos to the E.skimos. Helen Talabaclt has broken all records and is now typing for a private concern at the rate of 100 words per minute. John Treanor is a well-known violinist now making his fifth appearance in Hollywood. Mary H ' esely and Evelyn West are two efficient .secretaries in the office at J. P. H. S. Gladys Wibery has become a successful com- mercial artist for Mary O ' Brien ' s exclusive dress shop on Fifty-Seventh .Street. Glancing at my watch, 1 realize that I am ten minutes late. Hurrying out the door whom should I see but Louise I ' immons who is Dr. Christie Sotiros ' nurse. She is on her way to meet Mar- guerite Santor, now a laboratory technician at a nearby hospital. Apologizing for my abruptness, I hop into my car. Arriving at the Hotel 1 enter the swanky kjbby. I am surprised to meet Helen Sloive, official re- ceptionist. She leads me ot the main hall where the Fa.shion Show is to be held. There 1 meet Florence who is talking with Marlenc Scullv about the latest styles. Marlene is now secretary to the President of the New York Life Insurance Com- pany. As I look down the hall I see Marie Walsli with her husband, a Commander in the Navy, home for a short leave. Sitting nearby. I see hina Muscovitch. now a sewing instructor at a private .school. Just as the show is about to begin. I see Bob McKnight and Da)i Sullivan rushing down the side .aisle. Bob is a photograjiher and Dan, a re- porter for the New York Times of which Carl Sivanson is now owmer. Lorraine Ahem models a dress which she de- signed herself. Her spurts of work are approved by Harper ' s Bazaar, while Audrey Stcicart models exclusively for Hattie Carnegie ' s. One beautiful dress is designed by Marie Scipi- one and modeled by Joan Van Wart. Glancing over the program I see that the hair .stylist for the models is none other than Mary Spina::;2ola. The furs worn in the Fashion Show are hianed by Del E. Thompson Co. of which Pave .Stunipp is .sales manager. The Fashion Show was delightful, and as 1 thought back to my classmates in ' 48 there seemed to be only two who had not been acounted for during the day. What has become of Rosalie ll ' lielan and Rita Sheaf Hardly had these words been spoken when Flor- ence told me that upon completion of their high school course they both had entered the convent.
