JO ANN: Well, you know that SALLY DING- WELL is living in Miami now. She's a dress de- signer at Burdine's. JO ANN RICHARDSON models most of the dresses that SALLY designs. NORMAN: BARBARA RANDOLPH is a dress designer at Sak's Fifth Ave. in New York, and JUDY WOODLING is a saleslady at the same store. JUDY: Did you see in Life magazine about the new modern school designed by ELIZABETH WYATT? JO ANN: Yes, I also read about some of the top faculty they have there. ED SYMMES is principal and MARJORIE REED teaches chemistry. BOB WALKER and LINDA KIRK are the physical ed- ucation teachers. I believe BRUCE DAUB is the Glee Club director and GLORIA GENTRY teaches geometry. JUDY: Well, here we are in Interlochen. JO ANN: JIM should be waiting for us at the station. Look for him. JIM: Hey, I'm over here. JO ANN: Gee, JIM, it sure is good to see you. JIM: I've got a cab waiting to take us to the music camp. NORMAN: Good. Say, JIM, I recognize that cab driver, who is he? JIM: Thatis KEN CURTIN, one of our old class- mates. JUDY: Exactly what is your job up here at the music camp, JIM? JIM: I'm teaching band drilling and drum ma- joring to students from all over the world. I've run into a lot of our old classmates on this job. Do you remember NANCY MATOTT? Well, she's our Spanish interpreter here at the camp. Do you remem- ber that football star, MARLOWE EITEL? Well, he's teaching flute up here and TIMMY DERATANY is teaching drums. JO ANN: This is my first year teaching up here and it surely sounds exciting. JIM, do you get over to the State College much? JIM: Yes, I stay there when the camp's not in SCSS1OI'1. NORMAN: Doesn't CARL MEYER still play football for Michigan State? JIM: Play football! Why, he's head coach at Mich- igan State. JUDY: While you're on sports, I must tell you of my experiences covering the Olympics. You'll be shocked to learn of some of our classmates who really did well in it. SHAN WILLIAMS took first in the woman's division for the shot-put. FRAN WHARTON won the 220 yard dash and RED SALE took first in the mile. RICHARD HARVEY, with a new technique in training, took first in the 880. ANNETTE SMITH won in the women's division for the discus throw. Don't you think it's marvelous that so many of our classmates came out on the very top? JIM: You'll never guess who our camp physician is: RICHARD HULL. NORMAN: ALBERTA ETTERS and JAY LAR- SEN are working at RICK ESBENSEN's Pharmaceu- tical Laboratories in Virginia. JIM: CHARLES SLAUGHTER is the chief of the Highway Patrol Station here in Interlochen. Just last week he was telling me about picking up CHARLIE ELLIS who was driving his hot race car on the super-highway. JUDY: Before I left Washington, I ran into MAR- GARET EBERHART. She is selling Avon products. Also, DONNA EMMETT and VIRGINIA DEM- ERRITT are telephone operators in our dispatcher's office. JO ANN: DOROTHY FREDRICKSON is a Bap- tist Missionary in Africa. Isn't that interesting? BAR- BARA JULIAN and PAT HIX are nurses assisting Doctor RICHARD ROGERS, who is working in Panama giving inoculations against cancer to the natives.

JO ANN: O.K. Look down there: isn't that ED- DIE LAIBL? NORMAN: Yes, he's a Senator from Florida. Did you know that CECIL PLATT is a State Representa- tive from Florida? Thereis LOIS HARTER over there, carrying a big stack of papers. JO ANN: She must be one of the stenographers. I told JUDY we would meet her in front of the Capitol and it's almost time now, so let's hurry. Well, hi, JUDY. JUDY: Hello, JO ANN. NORMAN! What are you doing here? NORMAN: I have an operation scheduled in Michigan, so I've decided to go on up to Interlochen and see my old friend JIM ABNEY with JO ANN. JO ANN: Do you like being a journalist, JUDY? JUDY: I love it. It's lots of fun getting all the big scoops before the rest of the world does. Just this morning I heard that BARNEY FOX, an ambassador to France, talked the French Premier into changing the national drink from wine, in order to get rid of our surplus, to American moonshine. And did you know that BILLY STROUD is really in demand for his accounting ability? After the way he flur1ked math, you would never believe it. NORMAN: Have you heard about any more of our old classmates recently? JUDY: Why, yes, I covered a National Nurses' Convention here last week and I surely was surprised to see so many girls from Melbourne. ANN BRIT- TAIN is a surgical nurse now, and PAT BRONSON is working with Doctor LEE GARDENOUR, CAR- OLYN GANDEE is a pediatrician and MIRIAM HAMRIC is a dietitian. Some of the other girls were BEVERLY I-IARNISH, now an assistant to Chiro- practor RICHARD FISHER, and SALLY DORSEY, a laboratory technician. JO ANN: NORMAN, we had better catch our train. JUDY: I was assigned to cover the convention but I wasnit planning on leaving until tomorrow. NORMAN: Why don't you go with us today? We can talk over old times on the train. JUDY: All right, that would be fun. Iill get my things and meet you at the station. LATER ON THE TRAIN . . . JUDY: It sture is great being all together again. It's just like old times. NORMAN: It surely is. JUDY: Oh! I almost forgot to tell you. Did you know that GLEN DORSEY is a prominent elec- tronic engineer here in Washington? Also assisting him is SUE SPARKS. NORMAN, is there anyone from our class in New York now? NORMAN: Yes, NANCY ADAMS is a .general math teacher at Public School No. 56. Also, BETTY BONACCI is an accountant at Macy's Bargain Base- ment. I guess you girls have seen some of the pictures in the latest magazines of BARNEY CORBIN, who is a chief model for Esquire. JO ANN: IRENE CRERAR is a critic at Carnegie Hall, and currently appearing there is JOHNNY SIMMONS with his drums and JIM UNDERHILL with his cornet in the Symphonic Orchestra. JUDY: On my recent Visit to California, I covered the annual Magazine Publishers' Convention. NORMAN: Aren't you one of the publishers for Mad magazine, JUDY? W JUDY: Yes, but getting back to the convention, I saw GARRETT OSBORNE, a writer for Playboy, and RICHARD PAVICK, a big newspaper editor. I walked into Cirois and who should serve me but ROSEMARY PATANELLA. I stayed in the Sleep Easy Hotel, where they had all rooms equipped with Sealy mattresses. What a night's sleep I had. NORMAN: Speaking of Sealymattresses, did you know that DON NORMAN demonstrates Sealy at the home office in New York? JUDY: No, but in the morning, before I left the hotel, I rang to have my bags taken downstairs and the bellhop turned out to be BARRY OLSON.

NORMAN: You've seen advertisements for MONTGOMERY's steaks in JAMES TOWNLEY's chain of food stores, haven't you? Both TOM and JIM have a tremendous business going. JUDY: Say, did you see that Broadway play star- ring GERRY HUDIK? KAY KINSEY directed it and NANCY POST looked simply gorgeous with a little help from BAMMA HILLIARD, Broadway's top make-up artist. JIM: You remember PAT MOREN, don't you? He owns the Ipana Toothpaste Co. now, and his top billboard queen is ELSIE WISNIEWSKI. JO ANN: DAREL MORGAN just bought the Fountainbleau down on Miami Beach, for two and a half million dollars. MARILYN PLATT plays a guitar nightly there and GAIL FURTHMAN does an exhibition diving routine down on Miami Beach, touring all the big hotels. JUDY: BETH HINE was in Washington about a year ago. She was elected Grand Matron for the Eastern Star. JIM: Oh, I almost forgot, JO ANN, your secretary here at the camp is JOANN HILLS. JO ANN: Well, that's great. JIM: You know, while I was driving to Detroit the week before last, I had a wreck. I wasn't hurt but the car looked pretty bad. I had it towed to JESSE ROBBINS' garage in Detroit and his chief mechanic, GARY HOGELAND, said it would be impossible to repair it. I sold it for junk at MIKE WILLIS's Junk Yard and went to see the Chevrolet dealer. Believe it or not, it was CARL LANHAM. He gave me a good deal on a car for old time's sake. JUDY: Isnit it fascinating, all the wonderful careers that have sprouted from M. H. S. Some of the girls have a more domestic career, such as a housewife. I know that SANDRA LIPSCOMB has seven children now and JOAN HUTCHINSON isn't far behind with six. REBECCA SHEPPARD and EVELYN SWEENEY are tied with four each. JO ANN: Well I know that both RUTH ANN SWEIGART and VICTORIA VAN OSTRAN have had twins. NORMAN: Oh, it almost slipped my mind, but last week CAROL JOHANNESSEN called while she was in New York. She's an airline stewardess, you know. JUDY: GERHARD MARTENS now owns the Martens National Electronics Supply Co. He, know- ing how well Melbourne girls are trained for big business, has hired five Melbourne girls for handling communications of his business all over the world SHARON LOU STORM is his receptionist at the New York home office. MARIE TILLIS is a treas- urer in England and RUTH TERRY handles cor- respondence with France. BARBARA WENDLING is an accountant in Italy. JO ANN: LYNNE SECRIST and NANCY YOC- KEL are touring the world after winning the gigantic cosmetic contest sponsored by EDWIN SHIVER's Cosmetic Co. The last week of their tour will be spent at the TIM SOKOL Dude Ranch and I'm sure they'll get a kick out of it. JUDY: Well, I guess we'd better break up now and get some rest before we start our trips back home. NORMAN: Yes, I guess so. JO ANN: Well, good-bye, all. JIM: So long.
