contractor, I hear. Didn't he build Littleton's new consolidated school? Joan-Yes, he did. And all the electrical work was done by the Leonard Electrical Concern, and personally supervised by Allvin himself. Ronald Baker is another who stayed close to Littleton. All of Littleton's milk supply now comes from Dooleyis Dairy! F aith-Have you seen Yvette LaCroix's new T.V. program yet? It's called simply Oh-Men and covers that field very thoroughly. Joan-Yes, I have. It follows my favorite pro- gram, Band of America, which now features Patti Clarke as head majorette, now that she's returned from touring Europe. Q Faith-Oh yes, there's also Tiny Morrison, bet- ter known as Mark Gable, the Great Lover. And of course, there's Dotto Lewis, his personal script writer. I bet one of those scripts will end with a vine-covered cottage waiting! Joan--Well, vine-covered or not, Mrs. Theodore Halvorsen Cnee jean Ricardj is happy in her short short trailer. And surely you've seen the new comic section in the New York Times drawn completely by Dave Lewis. Faith-I certainly have. His characterizations of certain famous teacher-coaches are wonderful. Joan-Oh you mean the ones of Al Lane, the Olympic Champ, and Dave Slayton. Dave has had an offer to conduct one of his usual classes as an educational program, but I hear they're advertising it as a comedy. Faith-Larry Presby is a teacher, too. He's head of the History Department at U. N. H. and is completely changing the University's system. Joan-Charlene Simmonds is another University member. I hear shels defending U. N. H. against Dartmouth's Steph Eaton with a Biology re- search of her own. Faith-By the way, have you heard from Phyllis Collins lately? She's head nurse at the john Tunney Memorial Hospital and very,very happy. Joan-Rhoda Downing Corey is another loyal supporter of New Hampshire. Along with help- ing Dick run Corey's Super Market and raising little Coreys she has a little gift shop filled with her unique and unusual hand-made goods. Faith-Are jim Enderson and Janice Celley still competing for the position of district manager of Newberry's? Joan-Yes, and if Janice wins she'll be the first woman to hold that job. Speaking about iirsts have you heard about Betty Dickerman? Faith-You mean her making a fortune from putting on chicken pie suppers? I guess she got enough experience from ours! Joan-Evelyn Lewis is another one who's profited from high school experience. Her all-girl band plays for the President in Washington, D. C., next Week. Faith-just the opposite of her all-girl band is the all-boy secretarial school in Whitefield run by Irene Finn and Berta Corey. Ioan-They must have a wonderful time but they face stiff competition in Griff Harrisis sport club, which attracts many of their members Cthough I heard Griff secretly signed up for their coursej. Faith-It sounds like Griff, all right. And I be- lieve it is his club that the famous sportswoman, Sally Marsh, plans to join. Joan-Well, that's the entire class. You see you didn't need my help at alll Faith-I know, when you're talking with an old classmate the memories return and the familiar faces seem like a passing parade. Joan-But reviewing all our old friends has helped me. It's helped me to remember all the fun we shared, the plans we made, and the dreams we dreamed. And when I see the success we've been I know no one can ever do anything but point with pride to the class of '54! -22-

LET US LISTEN: Joan-fFaith! How wonderful to see you! But what brings you all the way from San Francisco? Faith-Business, but I'm combining pleasure with it by visiting and seeing the sights while I'm here. My engineering firm is competing against Skip Woodls for a government project and I've lost too many jobs to him to take it lightly. All he does besides listen to jazz in his new lush night club is take jobs from me. But what about you? I see you're branching out into psychology, too. Joan-Yes, a little. One must keep up with the times you know. But I can see there's more than a friendly visit in this. Faith--Yes, there is. I've decided to find out what happened to all our classmates, and you seem the logical person to help me. Joan--I see. Well now, where shall we start? Of -21 course you read all about Dave Colby's trip to the moon. He's opening such a new field of science there that it's rumored Steph Eaton may abandon Biology at Dartmouth to assist him. Faith-And I suppose daily trips to the moon will be the next feature of Ellingwood's Bus and Air Jet Service. By the way how is Earl lately? Joan-Oh just fine-living on the Coast. You must know all about Betteann Stevens and Lillian Allen crashing Hollywood. I just read about it in a write-up of one of Director Jud Beal 's parties. Faith-Yes, out there there's much speculation as to which is more famous-Betteann and Lillian, or jud's parties! Joan-By the way, Norman Duval runs a simply wonderful meat market not far from here. It's the only meat market with easy chairs and a bar -ice cream bar, that is-to make waiting easier and more enjoyable. Faith-Speaking of food, Thelma Bixby and Joan Thompson have opened a new restaurant, Ye Olde Apthorpe Corner, and all the celebri- ties go there. You should drop in some time. Joan-I will. just as I'm planning to visit the charm school run by Betty Wood and Bobbi Ryan. Faith-Wonderful. And Kay MacKayls School of Drama is right next door so you can imagine what goes on between the acts! Joan--I certainly can. If a girl combined those with Jackie Reynolds' new beauty salon, what chance would some poor man have? F aith-Well, Eddie Cryans would make a willing victim. You know he's a very suave French teacher now, and quite a lady-killer from all reports. Joan-Another success in his chosen field is Bob Leach who's in television work and doing very well. The latest models are his design. Faith-And Wilbur Parker is a big success as a

Sally Lehan is the recipient of Berta Corey's interest in high schools. This could prove very educational, Sally. Betty Wood leaves jane MacDonald her proximity to the boys in study halls.
