Food lias been announced when suddenly all look skyward. Three tiny specks slowly float into view becoming- larger and larger as earth looms near. And now it is seen that the paiachutists ai-e women! Xo it can’t be! Rut yes, gently floating to earth are Betty Esoian, Gloria Zuranski, and Lillian Kimjiton. Betty has become a trial driver for green Dodges and Gloria has invented a machine to completely replace the secretary. Lillian, the third chutist, is now a iihysical therapist of world repute. Chef for this occasion is Monsieur llavid Ludden, the famous French cook. Ilis recent concoctions have included a substitute for pizza jiie which he calls ‘eet’s a surprise.” Marion Hoyle, Kay Fawcett, and Patricia King, still the best of friends, come traipsing through the jungle jiath to join the gathering. Marion has gained fame as a T.V. comedienne while Kay, from a humble beginning as a file clerk in the New York State Rank, has risen to the jiosition of i)ersonnel director. Pat has become an airline hostess. Amidst the hubub is heard the noise of a jet ])lane zooming overhead and dipping- in salute. The people on the beach know it is Donald Bacon. Don could not make a personal visit since he is on another im])ortant mission as special courier to th.e Presi- dent. Another member of the class connected with the government could not make the reunion. He is Bill Soliti-o, now in Russia and charged with the mission of wii)ing out Malenkov. Kent Lindberg races to the beach still in baseball uniform and is greeted with loud applause for his big role in last October’s World Series. Uj) on a tree platform, Teresa Hartwell continues her sketching of the serene waters. The final two classmates on the scene are Lucy Tambolleo and Janet Skantz. Janet, for a long time an R.N., is training Lucy for a fall swim of Massachusetts Bay. Lucy is the Florence Chadwick of this eia. And now the contingent is complete. Mr. Lejjore ari-ives on the scene and looking- over the members of the class of’.54 wonders why he has remained teaching all these years !

tl 4tc — jU(€C The locale is a southern sea isle with the gontle trade winds blowing ' soft under- tones throus -h the trees. Chiis Meola and Jane Xa])onen are lollinf - around on the beach at the edge of the jungde, continuing their role of beachcombers. Suddenly and without i)rovocation, the strains of enchanting island music wafting its way over the serene Jungle is heard. And emerging from the trees hai pily chattering away are two young ladies escorted by dancing natives. The ladies are Priscilla Jewett and (lail Wheeler— Priscilla now a hai)i)ily married woman and Gail, a missionary worker on the island for the jiast few years. They are visiting the beach for the twentieth annual reunion of the Major Edwards class of ’54. -And careening along the beach coming to a screeching halt in her gieen Jaguar is Cynthia Monroe. Cyn has been traveling on the continent and tearfully informs the assemblage that she must sell this green vehicle since it clashes so with her pink Mercedes. Louis Geneva, complete with leopard trunks, ste])s on to the beach with his famous South Sea Six.” Featured with the band is Richard Lesperance, the baritone rage. As an added feature, showman Lou has engaged a ti ' OU])e of island dancers led by Carole Federici, the toast of the islands. After the assemblage has renewed accpiaintances, the loud roar of a motorboat is heard coming near shore. David Gonyer jauntily steps out. Dave has become a woiid famous explorer. Traveling along as mechanics are the builders of last year’s Indian- apolis winner, Robeit Fancy and Duncan Rice. Native girls lush uj) to greet this intrepid trio with hugs and kisses but shy David bashfully turns away from their caresses. However, Fancy and Rice readily accede to these advances and when last seen were busily engaged in dis])roving their heralded dislike of women to the islanders. -A.nd yet another member is aboard the boat. Alvin Raiakian triumj)hantly comes from the hold leading a string of livestock. We eat tonight!
