20 THE RECORD N. Don,t tell me Isabel is a teacher! B. Oh yes, she's headmistress of L. H. S. N. Another of our classmates who is doing well in Littleton is Joe Harvey. Joe runs a dine and dance place on the Brook Road and features the blues singer, Lois Trudell. B. Joe has certainly strummed his way to the top with his guitar. N. By the way, what ever happened to Howard Shawney? B. The last I heard was that he was general manager of Norton Pike with Irene Slack as his private secretary. N. I'd also heard that Irene has invented a new typewriter that enables her to type 500 words a minute blindfolded. B. Did you know that Nancy Eager and Alberta Couture have started the Eager Beaver Dress Shop and Model Agency in Paris? Nancy has charge of the sales department and Alberta does the modeling. N. I have heard about their agency and dress shop, and it seems that Thelma Smith and Beverly Holt, co-owners of the Gilman Paper Company, buy all their lavish clothes there. B. Remember Bob Cady and Bert Perry's desire to become foresters? Well, they have recently completed the reforestation of the Sahara Desert with birches and maples. N. Last week while attending the Annual Convention of Doctors I met Bertha Wiley who is now a medical technician at Johns Hopkins. B. What ever happened to the man in her life? N. Oh, you mean Leon? He runs a bowling alley in Baltimore so he can be near her. B. I read in the May issue of the Ladies' Home Journal that Helen Fisher was elected the outstanding housekeeper for 1956. N. She certainly had time enough to become outstanding. Look! Joan Gadbois is starring in the opera Carmen tonight at the Metro- politan. B. Well, what do you say? Let's go and hear her. N. 0. K. A recently discharged Army pilot woke up in the hospital to find himself swathed in bandages and one of his pals watching him with some concern. What happened? he murmured feebly. Well, said his pal, you remember that party we were having in your hotel room last night? You bet the girls you could fly out one window, do an Immelman turn and fly back in the other window. Ye Gods! said the injured man. Why didn't you stop me ? Why, Charlie, I bet fifty bucks you could do it. , Fire Chief: Did you get that glass fixed in the fire alarm box ? Glazier: You bet. They won't bust it this time. I put unbreak- able glass in it.

THE RECORD 19 N. Not so long ago I was in that thriving community of Gilman, and I found that they were incorporated in a hotel business there. B. Don't tell me it's the Gilman Hotel! N. Yes, but its chef, Mizzie, runs the coke bar, and Herbert is the financial wizard of the group, assisted by his wife, the former Dorothy Finn of Littleton. B. A year or so ago on an engineering trip to Moscow, who should I encounter but Stalin's first assistant and commissar of the people, Pat Enderson. N. Is that the same Enderson who revised the five-year plan to 25 years? B. It sure is and a couple of weeks ago she was awarded the Russian Order of the Silver Star. N. Speaking of medals-Dick Hastings recently received the Distinguished Service Medal for crooning above and beyond the call of duty at the county farm in Haverhill. They loved that boy. B. Did he really have such a good voice as they claimed? N. Man, it was better than that. To keep his vocal chords in shape he does hog-calling in his spare time. B. Three of our former classmates, Rita Laveau, Dayle Hart, and Lorena Tift have formed the Married Woman's Political Action League and elected Douglas Buswell for president. N. Don't tell me he is another Norman Thomas? Why, I re- member he's run for that same office during the last five elections. B. Well, you know the old saying, If at first you don't succeed, try, try again. N. That's exactly what Charlotte Oakes and Pearl Lee did. At first they met with difficulties, but are now on the road to success with their chicken ranch on Mann's Hill. B. It sure is good to see so many of our classmates so pros- perous. N. Did you know that John Spencer has made a fortune from his nationally known Spencer Drug Stores and his famous one-cent sales? , B. I also heard he intended to expand into the most distant parts of the world with Robert Derrington as chief soda clerk. Dick Long- champs is also in the soda fountain business. After he graduated from Alison University three years ago, he returned to the Sweet Shop and is making cokes and frappes on a scientific basis. N. Those seven years at Alison were worth it though. He makes the best orange cokes you have ever tasted. B. Did you happen to read that article in a recent American Magazine by Elsie Bolduc and Roberta Christie who are now teachers? N. Why yes, they are the ones who strongly advocate the dis- posal of books and adoption of pictorial methods of teaching. B. Yes, but Elsie and Roberta have met with considerable op- position because Isabel Morrill believes that lessons can only be learned through books.
