THE RECORD 27 everytime he had to unroll any. You know how it'll snap back up on you. M: Gloria Lyons Jock's husband was honorably discharged from the Navy in 1948. Now he's trying to keep Gloria as calm as he helped keep the Japs. B: I hear that Ray Foster is somewhere in Argentina. M: Yes, he went into the back country to teach the natives how to erect those ready-made bungalows from the United States. They still insist on taking them down and folding them up during every storm. B: Ray always did want to be some type of engineer. M: Irene Carbonneau was down in Brazil recently-to compete in a broad-jumping contest. She won, too. B: Gosh, I remember back in school Irene was lots better in ath- letics than any other girl. M: She's still going strong, too. She winters in Sun Valley and summers in Europe and South America-teaching athletics. B: Kathleen Bronson has a band of her own now. She calls it the Bunny Hugs. She put Harry James on the skids when she went professional with the trumpet. M: I remember when Bunny used to play in the school band. Our school orchestra is now a thing of the past. They let the kids play Swing now. B: Beverly Perkins, Pauline Santy, Eva Laflamme and Deborah White are still back in Littleton waiting for their respective iiances to come home. M: Where are they? B: Oh, they're part of the world policing system in Germany. The girls are getting quite excited-the boys' terms are up in three more years. M: Hillis Goad and Goldie Styles are still working for Norton Pike. B: What are they by now-private secretaries? M: Oh no, you know the recreation plan that each factory has put into effect since the war. Well, Goldie and Hillis are in charge of keeping the workers happy. B: Barbara Thompson's boy-friend moved to Littleton to be near her when we were Seniors-remember? Now that they're married they've moved back to Whitefield-he got too homesick. M: I remember when Barb used to always be waited for by him in his car after school-the rest of us always had to walk down that steep hill. B: That hill was easier going down than up! M: Excuse me-everyone fasten their safety belts, please. We're preparing to land. Bob, wait 'til you see Who's President of Brazil. B: Who is? M: Hadley Gadbois! Jimmy Dorsey's arrangement of Brazil finally got him. He came down here as a sightseer and you know

26 THE RECORD family now. He's one of the pilots of the Pacific Clipper and looks pretty nice in his uniform. B: You don't have to tell me about Russ Buker. I can guess who caused him to go into a tailspin. M: Yes, Russ and Sally are running the toy department of Firestone back in Littleton. They have a great time pushing the scooters around. B: I heard of Glode's famous Kandy Kitchen back in Littleton. Is that Monica by any chance? M: Yes, it's Monica all right and her silent partner is Wilbur Willey. B: I can't picture him silent very long but then I guess Monica put the old sheik in his place. M: I just received an invitation to attend the L. H. S. Junior Prom this year. They're having Lawrence Latulip's Blues inthe Night Band with Earl Sinatra Trombley the featured singer and Jitterbug Olive Towle giving an exhibition. B: I bought a magazine at the last stop we made and guess whose picture is in it? Carlene Ennis's. M: Carlene's! Why? B: She's a model now-advertising Dr. L. M. Bauld's new hair oil for luxuriant hair growth. M: Well, I'll be darned. You'll be able to see some of our old classmates when we land in Brazil. B. Swell! Who? M: Bob Labonte, Virginia Cote, Pauline Sidney, and Marie Pa- quette. They came down on a good-will tour and got stranded. So they decided to make enough money to go home on by dancing in a Night Club. Bob does the managing for the girls. They liked to work here so well that they're going to stay a while. B: Some of our classmates are married now. Phyllis Mitchell married Ed Bixby-they live in Ohio. Ed's a coach now-pretty well-known, too-and when he received two offers to coach, one from Ohio University and one from Dartmouth-you can imagine which one they took. M: Oh, yes, Phil did come to Littleton from Ohio when we were Juniors, didn't she? B: Where's Barbara Miles now? M: Haven't you heard about her? She's heading an expedition going into the jungles of Africa. B: What on earth for? M: There's a certain parachutist from the War who parachuted to safety during the War. That was years ago but he never came back. Now it seems that a certain native tribe in Africa has an exalted white king-with Red Hair! B: Say no more-I get it. Say, Eleanor Colby is living in Little- ton again. M: She is? I remember she went to Plymouth Teachers college. Is she teaching in Littleton now? B: No, she had to give up teaching and help her husband in his Hardware Store. He kept getting tangled up in the rolls of wiring

28 THE RECORD Hen-now he's President of the place. Lawrence Hartshorn's heli- copter will pick us up at the Airport. B: I thought he ran a line between Littleton and Gilman. M: He did, but Miles Quigley put him out of business. Hadley asked him to come down here-so-oh, there he is now-let's go! By: Marion L. Olson Robert Finn. CLASS ODE Tune: Missouri Waltz Dear old Littleton High School, We have come to say Farewell, As we leave your portals, We must not forget to tell Of days spent together, In all kinds of weather With classmates so dear, Through four happy years.
