GIRLS, PROPHECY QEDITOPCS NOTE: Ten years have elapsed since the graduation of the class of 1946. , The boys and girls, now matured men and women, have ascended the road of life and have chosen definite paths to follow. Frances Brochu, class secretary, has compiled a few notes and has made startling discoveries regarding the whereabouts of the members of the class.j Barbara Barton whose compositions had the class spellbound is now writing professionally for the Ladies' Home journal. Ellen-Marie Polyot, the iirst lady referee, has opened a gymnasium for women in Brewer. She also gives boxing lessons. The beauty parlor operated by Charlene Brochu and Leona Silver is doing famously under their expert guidance. Helene Cameron, once employed at Woolworth's, is the present owner and has enlarged the store as far as Liggettis Drug Co. Ellen Duddy, former dazzling cheerleader, is superintendent of the Rest Home in Brewer. VVe all remember Pauline Iohnsonis aspirations toward the world of science, she is now laboratory technician at her alma mater, the University of Maine. Garland Street Pharmacy, one of the most interesting places in Bangor as far as Mary joan Cushman and Carolyn Mann are concerned, has been renovated into the Cushman-Mann Cut-Rate for men only. Eleanor Polyot has finally graduated from ticket sales girl to secretary of the M.6zP. Theatres, Inc. Ioan Davitt has been transferred from the Bangor telephone office to the office at Castine and is very much interested in her work. Barbara Nelli- gan is employed by the Northeast Airlines as a hostess and entertains the pas- sengers frequently by singing in that mellow voice of hers. The telephone com- pany has just received a new addition, Frances Hamel. She completely sways the listener when she lltt6l'S the word, hello,'. Alice O,Leary, the brain of 1946 and a graduate of Regis College, is teaching Dramatics in Hollywood, California. jean Stockwell, R. N., is taking temperatures at the Eastern Maine General Hos- pital. In a few weeks, she will advance to the supervisoris position. A new old- age home has been opened in Bradley under the guidance of Teresa Gallant. The enchanting voice of Daisy Nichols is bei11g heard bi-weekly over the national network of the United States. Louise McGrath, famed opera singer, is booked for a year to give recitals in Carnegie Hall, New York. Dinah Shore, who has retired from her career, has been succeeded by Geraldine Sproul. Florence Martin has been voted the best hat designer of the year and because of her artistic ability, she has been offered a position in Paris contriving the latest models of hats. The telephone company is doing a great business. Corinne B-onneau and Gwendolyn Jansson are operators there. If you get a wrong number, you know where the trouble is. Charlotte Smith, a graduate of Farmington State Normal School, is teaching mathematics at the University of Maine and still carries the Bangor Daily News with her. Ann Ford and Gertrude Dowe are employing their talents by teaching short- hand and typing at the Maine School of Commerce. The Chamber of Com- merce has a most efficient young lady as its secretary. It is none other than Cecilia Albert. Rose McNally displayed her debating ability in high school and is the first affirmative speaker in the International Forum. The question of the month is: RESOLVED: SHOULD BANGOR REMOVE ITS CAR TRACKS? Through extensive research, it has been discovered that lane Pooler is a labora- tory technician. That makes two from the class of 1946. More power to them. Nursing seemed to be the predominant profession for the class. Madeline Parady is nursing at St. Maryis Hospital in Lewiston, while Marv Ryder and Dorinda Connelly are imparting their talents at the Mercy Hospital in Portland. Shirley Madore has opened a dress salon on 5th Avenue, New York, after graduating from the National School of Design. Inez Comer and Viola St. Germain are hair dressers and in time intend to set up a business all their own. With their ambition they can't help but get ahead.
