28 f e m o r i a 1 High. School 1943 DANA PROVONCHE, co-captain of the football team, has just opened a trucking business of his own; and with this as se- curity, he keeps singing to a certain blonde You ' d Be So Nice to Come Home to. EDWIN SABALEWSKI and the WOLSKA sisters, MARY and JOSEPHINE, have com- bined their knowledge of farming and are turning out vegetables of a superior quality. They have opened a stand on the new road, and business is picking up again. Ten years after graduation MARJORIE CONANT is teaching dancing. She got all her experience from the Saturday night dances. She and Joe cut a pretty mean rug. IRENE GAUDETTE is now a Power ' s model. She was first discovered by her agent, Dana, who thought she had more than just an oomphy figure. BETTY KEOUGH, most popular redhead in town, is now refusing all dates. Her answer always is I ' m Saving Myself for Bill. While PAUL ANDERSON is still in the Army, ROBERTA GROSS stays at home to teach their four children how to snap bubble- gum. BETTY SELLEW, another quiet girl of our class, is now head cheer leader at B. U. Her rousing cheers and antics have spurred the team on to many a victory. LEON GROSS has finally won the Nation- al Freckle Contest. The sunshine and out- of-doors did it. MARJORIE HOLT, now residing in Cali- fornia as Mrs. Whitney, is raising a victory garden of Carrot Tops. SHIRLEY McDonald is giving Jimmy Lynch stiff competition in stunt driving. We remember her many crack-ups at M. H. S. BETTY McDowell is now playing the lead in Macbeth. She is the star in the Ferson Theater of Times Square. In the front row every night there sits a certain red- headed fellow. JEANNETTE LETENDRE is competing with Arthur Murray and is giving her pupils a whirl for their money. WILLIAM SULLIVAN is teaching history to the Wellesley College girls. He is so wrapped up in his work! NORMA FICKERT is now a receptionist at a hospital. When you lift the receiver, the familiar strain of My Buddy comes over the phone. ARLEEN SULLIVAN has been chosen the Sweetheart of the Navy. Her closest friend is a certain sailor. Arleen says, He may wear a sailor ' s uniform, but he is a Commando in the rumble seat. DONALD FOYE recently won the Wheat- ies ' prize for the Man of the Week. He says he owes his height and magnificent build to Wheaties. We find that our gentle PATRICIA still HATH-A-WAY with her Johnny; and though Pat holds a Hollywood contract with Colum- bia, she is the proud mother of twins. RICHARD MacNEILL is now the owner of the Ankle Sox baseball team, pennant winners of 1953. Although he states that he intends to remain a bachelor, reports from our Ninth Column prove differently. JOHN Peaches WASHBURN has opened a novelty shop, and we Bet-ty keeps things Perkin ' in the old home town! BEULAH P OWELL is blowing a hot trumpet in Chico Marx ' s band. She attri- butes her success to Mr. Churchill ' s firstrate coaching back at M. H. S. MARIAN HILTZ has realized her am- bition to be a secretary and is now in Washington, where she has replaced Secre- tary of Labor Perkins. She settles all labor disputes with a flirtatious smile and her winning way. Because of the shortage of gas and tires, NORMAN ANDREWS has given up the idea of opening a parking lot. He has de- cided to settle down and become a second Dr. Kildare. Though years have passed since his days at M. H. S., he is still trying to persuade Barbara Michaud that nursing is a great profession. LILLIAN De ARRUDA now serves on American Airlines as a hostess. Who is flying the plane? Why, none other than Daredevil Cassidy. He tells us that Lil- lian makes a pretty swell companion. Also in the flying field we find JOE Mac- ALLISTER, a captain in the Naval Air Corps. One look at him in his uniform, and we can see why all the girls are walk- ing around with their heads up in the clouds. ELINOR BURNETT has decided that mar- riage is the best profession. She has settled down on a little farm on the outskirts of Boston. She is very happy with her husband, a lad named Cliff, and her six adorable children.

DeMille says she has a great future, taking over where Veronica Lake left off. PETER DREVINSKY is interested in rais- ing bees. We ' re wondering if the B stands for Barbara. That ' s some honey! WALTER ZIDIALES has become quite obsessed with the female species. Wood he forget his girl Elinor? Norton a long shot. ELIZABETH PITTSLEY is now in the trucking business. Prices have gone up and she gets a Buck for each trip. PAUL HARRISON, the answer to a maid- en ' s prayer, is now judging beauty contests on Coney Island. From all rumors, business is picking up. ELINOR BREIVOGEL is giving Made- moiselle stiff competition. We understand she has opened a dress shop on Fifth Avenue and is doing nicely. Thank you.

She ' s on the bumpy road to love that started with a Jerk. JACK CARVER is running a barber shop in Washington with a big sign over the door which says, Come In and Be Clipped. Special Rates for Redheads. BILL McMAHON keeps singing I Found a Million Dollar Baby in the Five and Ten Cent Store. We Bet-ty won ' t let her stay there long. RENEE RAY, the quiet one in our class, has finally let her hair down. She and Madame La Zonga are teaching conga dancing in three easy lessons. 1953 finds EDWARD CLEVERLY the owner of a glue factory.

Or, if you don ' t, you ' ll have to soak them in water each night. ALLAN BLISS is now six feet and a half tall. How did he do it? Vitamin pills.

He even has his own fleet which ferries the boys from Lakeville to Middleboro by way of one Ne- masket River.

But, on the other hand, FRANCIS BIS- SONETTE has taken over a chain of First National stores, and his headquarters are in the heart of South Middleboro. Could it be that business is good there? ALICE REYNOLDS, who was always so intelligent in the Secretarial Course, has just made her debut in the world of society. She is the leading debutante in New York and has just finished her autobiography, en- titled Small Town Blues or Foot-loose and Fancy-free. MARJORIE GREY, cute little redhead of our class, has worked her way up step by step, and instead of owning a grain mill, is now running the Greasy Spoon in Holly- wood and is giving Giro ' s a run for its money.
