I was delighted to hear about your new daughter. With the name Cl a udinc Valerie Carlson she won ' t have to make a change if she ever aspires to a stage or screen career. I first learned of her existence front N ' ellic Brown. She also told me she had hooked passage to England on the Queen Elizabeth and return on the Queen Mary. This will he her first trip home since she came to Canada and Tech. Our girls certainly get around. Several days ago I was sitting in the doctor ' s office when who should come in hut Pern Mat¬ hews. She has been living here in Detroit for nine years. That reminds me, I haven’t written to i you since the school ' s 25th anniversary last spring. We had a grand time. I was a bit disappointed that there were so few members from our gradual iug class. Had I not been a member of the Alumni I would not have known many of the former students. There was a great deal of reminiscing over certain weiner roasts, skating parties, swimming parties and dances that were outstanding. Our all¬ day picnics at Point Pelee were especially noteworthy. A few weeks after our reunion we had a din¬ ner at the Elmwood Hotel. Believe it or not, Doris, the principal speaker was our old cheerleader Swarkic . He is now Reverend Frank Swackhaminer. I understand he is a very good minister. He was a sensation when he led the crowd of nearly five hundred in one of the school yells. It just made you feel good. The teachers received their letters for twenty-five years teaching at the school. It hardly seemed possible it was almost that long ago that we first attended Technical School. Have you ever stopped to consider, Doris, how the years at Tech have influenced vour life? I remember one day in History class when I sat gazing out of the window, just day-dreaming in¬ stead of studying. Miss O ' Donaghuc ' s voice penetrated those dreams. Ivdna. do you want to ho as lazy a ' - - (naming the laziest girl in class)... I ' ve been working hard ever since to prove to myself I wasn ' t that lazy. That is what I call influence. Many times have I recalled incidents in classes, auditorium, gym and even in the lunch room, bove all I enjoyed the associations made in school (Continued on Page 77) ■
