Well, the appointed night finally arrived and since we were so anxious to get there, we all arrived early at Brannigan's Hash House in Shandelee, New York. James Patrick Brannigan, proprietor of the famous Hash House, formerly the Waldemere Hotel, greeted us at the door and ushered us into the dining room, Jimmy is doing a successful business, but he complains that he never has enough to do. So on the side, Jimmy takes on little, odd jobs like wrestling, boxing and bookie work behind the meat counter. QM On entering the dining room , the first one we saw was Big Fran . DeVoe, seated at a table and surrounded by ardent listeners. As we edged -4' closer, we heard Fran recounting his last days as a basketball player for dear, old L. M. C. S. He was telling all about the points he made against 5 A Jeff with Tom Festa guarding him. Fran is now physical education director few v Q at the Manor, after the retirement of Mr. Henry Paul. He is reported to i r ' A . be a very strict disciplinarian, especially in the matter of smoking .during f training. As we glanced around, we saw Harriete and lack Hoag seated in a corner by themselves. Hat had a hard time getting a baby sitter for the twins, .9 but she and Jack finally managed to be present. After graduating from rf high school, Hat settled down to domestic life and wrote letters to Jack in the Navy while taking care of the kids, Larry and Bob. Now that Jack is out of the Navy, all is peaceful. Lou Lyman, the famous scientist, was seated at a table looking well dressed. We guessed right away that her financial success came not only from her scientific ventures, but from the fact that she was Treasurer of the Class of '52. Lou and her husband have now taken over the Rockland Lumber and Coal Co. and have converted it into a clinic for sick dogs. As we looked around, we saw Nancy Benton walk in the door with her boss, Mr. Irving R. Avery. Nancy's husband, Sylvester, had to stay home and take care of Junior. Nancy is now head stenographer in the Avery Loan Corporation and is doing very well for herself. Frank Parson Wells could be heard well above the noise of the crowd. Mounted upon a soap box in the middle of the floor, he was ranting and raving about the evils of drink and profanity. Parson now owns a famous gun factory in Grooville, New York. His most success- ful project is the Trajectory Gun' ', a gun which shoots over mountains and kills deer in the next valley. William Smith, formerly known as Willy'i, was seated at a table with a lot of famous people. Willy's fame has spread far and wide for he is now Editor-in-Chief of Mesquire , the man's magazine. Since he was always a woman hater and wanted to do as little as possible this job came as quite a surprise tot all of us. We decided toystroll around and see the rest of our classmates. Seated on the veranda steps were Dr. and Mrs. D'Amico. Paul is a very busy young doctor nowadays. He has spent extensive study on the alcoholic and is keeping the local druggists busy filling pre- scriptions, all of which contain the important ingredient, rum. His prescriptions are very popular, for Dr. D'Amico thinks that rum can cure almost any illness. . We hurried across the porch to talk to Jim Green who was sleeping in a deck chair. Even though Jimmy is now the General Manager of the Manor Poultry Corporation, he still doesn't get enough sleep. Occasionally he is invited back to L. M. C. S. to make one of his speeches about The Importance of Study and Hard Work in High School. 26
