(2laa fit ophecij Dear June; % Lately I have seen many of our classmates of 48 and Ithought that you might enjoy hearing about them. So here goes: Mary Arbanas is now the Dean of Women at the Black Hills Agriculture College,and doing very well. I heard that Connie Burket (known in college as Bonebreaker Burket), has hung his Chiropractor shingle out in New York. Patsy Bair is now the manager of Grant's Department store in Lawton and she soon hopes to marry the head floorwalker. Richard Derhammer just took the new Job as swimming instructor at the Y. W. C. A. He thinks the work is very interesting. Elaine EXistin has added eighty more acres of grapes and planted another pickle crop on her huge farm called Dustin’s Dusty Acres . A letter from our new and distinguished congressman Joel Campbell stated that Bob Krajewski was nominated to run for the presidency in the convention last week even though he is five years too young. Congressman Campbell is trying to amend the Constitution for his friend. Arthur Murray happened to see Ralph Gotham dancing the Rhumba at the Stork Club last month, with Margaret O’Brien and hired him as a dance instructor. Lloyd Harrington has recently taken Frankie’s place on the Hit Parade and in his spare time is designing those hats known as Harrington’s Fantasies. Sonja Henie was at Texas Corners (a suburb of Kalamazoo), a short time ago to visit Crooked Lake. While there she saw a dashing, handsome man flashing by on the ice. It was hay Sokolowski of course. She admired him so much that he now has a contract with her for the Ice Follies. Clyde Mumford who up to last week was a motorcycle cop, has nowtaken over a service station which used to be called Spikes , but now is called El Morrocco. Doris Mumford has given up raising orchids in her florist shop and now instead is raising little Weeds . I see that Elaine Newbre has given up her stunt flying in Florida and now has settled down with the president of T. W. A. Airlines. I saw a ravenhaired beauty working at a tavern in Hawaii a short time ago. It was none other than our blonde bombshell Dolores Gregurich. Ellen and Josephine Goldsmith are still singing on Gene Autry's program. They say the way the girls harmonize and yodel on Oklahoma Hills is really swoony. Bonnie Gage is still acquiring fame as a F. B. I. agent in Washington. For a short time she was Editor of the New York Times. It seems that Farma11 tractor sales have goneup 90 since Pat French was appointed head of the sales department. Thelma Geissel has opened a dress shop in Mattawan now. She made her name working in Hollywood for M. G. M. as a dress designer,so she thought she would bring some style to Mattawan. Roy Moyle recently created a new hair style in his beauty parlor at Paw Paw called Magical Madness . The other day visiting the circus we caught our old classmate Rena Timmer's act. She is the most popular tight rope walker. La Vena and La Veta Jeffries were at the circus too, but not as spectators, they have the title now of being the only twins in the world to have the total weight of 976 pounds. Robert Derhammer rang the doorbell at my house yesterday, you know, he’s getting to be such a high pressure salesman with that smooth line, that I couldn't get a word in edgewise. Up until last month Doris Taft was the hesd Physical instructor for The Charles Atlas Women's Muscle Building School. Ramona Underwood always liked history so well in school that she is now teaching it at Mrs. Upington's Finishing School. Uncle Larry Wilkinson is carrying on with his Children’s Story Hour program fbr Krunchy Korn Flakes. James Jeffries was put behind bars yesterday, b £ it didn't bother him at all because his Job as teller in the National Bank pays in more ways than one . Dorothy Markle is a very efficient secretary nowadays. I heard she got the Job by marrying the boss' son. Betty Miller certainly looks nice inher bus driver's uniform. She has a run from Detroit to New York for the Bluehound Bus Company. (She had private lessons).
