Twenty-six Memorial High Sciiool Phyllis Sousa, Mr. Allen ' s pet, is now in a mental institution — not as an inmate, but as the superintendent. After the patients pile up the little blocks, Phyllis goes in and knocks them over. That girl doesn ' t change a bit! Mary Lou Sullivan is now teaching school at the Wood Institute for malnutritioned children. Dr. Wood, president of the Institute, recently made the statement that Miss Sullivan is the best teacher the school has ever had. Alison Taylor, voted the best example of the Colgate Smile, is now chief laboratory tech- nician at the Lakeville Sanitorium. Rumor has it that the new staff doctor makes Lakeville a pleasant place to work. We thought it strange that Alison left the glamorous West to come back to little old Lakeville. Carol Gregory, having finished four years of majoring in Romance Languages at the Uni- versity of Connecticut, is now working for the American Embassy in Brazil. Chester Haire, after finishing theological school, has become pastor of one of Boston ' s largest churches. We can ' t see Chet preaching as well as we can see him pitching a ball, but we all know he is setting an example for his congregation. Robert Hallock, President of the Middle- boro Merchants ' Association, has taken over the old store which he has re-named King Phillips ' Grocery Garage. The old Ford, moreover, has been replaced by a new Kaiser. Paul Jones, wealthy Virginia business ex- ecutive, has been married for several years to a real southern gal who latched on to him right after he got through college. We hear that she allows poor Paul only two dollars a week for spending money. And that from the fellow who was never going to get married! Never mind, Paul. Fiftv per cent of the married people in the United States are men — and all in the same boat! Irving Minott, Mayor of Halifax, is now one of Massachusetts ' most prominent farmers. Not only that, but he hopes to represent the farm bloc in the legislature next year. Arthur Letendre has recently become vice- president of the First National Stores, Inc. He was going to be a doctor but decided that there wa« too much inside work involved. Nancy Mello, graduate of Bridgewater State Teachers ' College, is now laboriously reaching in Memorial High School. She also teaches a few extra courses after hours. How about that, Nancy? A few of us fellows are awfully slow, can we sign up for the course? Raymond Moffett, better known as Gor- geous George , has become head coach at Bos- ton College. During the past few years, and while he was in college, ' Raymo has been the swimming instructor and life guard at the Jones summer estate. Dorothea Picone was recently awarded a prize for being the shortest medical secretary to graduate from the Fisher School. The doctor who employs her, however, says he believes the old adage that Good things come in little packages. What did we overhear the other day but, Did you hear the one about the Red Pepper? That ' s a hot one! — Yes, you guessed it. We ' re talking about Ronald Tibbetts. Tibby is now working at the Walt Disney Studios in Hollywood. His main objective is to take over that famous character, Donald Duck. Robert DeMoranville, that bashful red- head, is now manager of the Swift Meat- packing Company. This is much to his taste because he says he ' d rather mark beef than listen to it. Allen Demers, Junior business executive in the Smith Construction Company, has been offering an evening course in the dance in order to insure a college education for his twins. David Ethier, that blue-eyed, bashful mem- ber of the class of ' 49, has really made some- thing of himself. As of last month he was ap- pointed Massachusetts State Veterinarian by the governor. Ruth Brehaut, our energetic salutatorian, is now chief organizer of all charity groups in New York. She has just completed a verv suc- cessful Red Cross canvass. Just as in ' 49, what- ever Ruth does, she does in a big way. Doris Brown, the fastest typist in the all- state chewing gum and typewriting contest, is now the head secretary at the Maxim Motor Company. Sylvia Caswell at pre ;ent is running a very successful home bakery. She is also the mother of five little Mac ' s . Between cupcakes and kids Sylvia is quite a busy girl. Jean Coe. one of Powers ' loveliest models, is giving lectures this month on poise. She and Stetson have a good arrangement. She models his bits and he sends her on tours. What hao ' -er.ed to TUNF CooPER? Just look in the theatrical columns for the name Rusty Winters. Miss Winters, who is the theatre ' s most nromising young actress, is running a Dude Ranch in her spare time. Meanwhile from the critics Rusty receives Broadway ' s greatest acclaim.

Class of Forty - Nine Twenty-five Remember quiet Mildred Armstrong? Well, she can now be found in her luxurious home with a dozen other middle-aged women solemnly sipping and testing the different brands of tea. Don ' t get me wrong — she mar- ried the owner of the business! M.H.S. is just packed with students now that Evelyn Banta, our valedictorian, has become a teacher. She is learning Mrs. Moore ' s job, and we hear that she is coming along fine. Her ex- perience as a teacher while in high school cer- tainly helped her in her career. Betty Boyce may have been quiet in school, but she certainly has changed. She was once a secretary, but now she appears in various hit shows along Broadway and Morse ' s Alley; she is currently featured in Life Is Fun . Bill Byrne is now owner of a large farm in the West. He can be seen almost any day sitting on his front porch singing away. He has at least twenty-five laborers that he enjoys watching work. Esther Dunham, our majorette, has become 5ole owner of the local Woolworth ' s. She cer- tainly has worked to this position. Esther has always hoped for excitement, and we ' re sure that this will prove very interesting. Peggy Forbes, one of our diamond-ring girls, took the trip to the altar soon after gradu- ation, and we hear that she and Kenny are very happy in rheir little home in East Taunton. Page Hardy has worked himself to the p osi- tion of president of the Pharmacists ' club and is also owner of Giberti ' s. Althoueh auite busy, he still finds time for a little outside life. Dick Jefferson is now teaching Taunton high rchool students how to model airplanes. We hear that he has a little help from a little girl, his first and only secretary, Dot. Remember how bashful Sam K ayatan used ro be? Well, he changed over night. You can find him almost any time on the corner of Lewis Street shouting away at a great rate about some handy little gadeet which is guaranteed not to rust, varnish, stain, bend, or break. You can see what speech work in English did for Sam! Tune in tonight and hear our own Al Mac- KlEwicz making touchdown after touchdown in the game between Holy Cross and U. of M. Al not only is a big-time football player, but we hear that he al,«o gets along pretty well with the girls at U. of M. We h ar that Evelyn Mayhew is doing very well in Florida. She not onlv has maids in her beautiful home, but she also has a Butler . The greatest chain of greenhouses in the country is under the management and super- vision of Dick Morse. We understand that Dick sends the finest orchids obtainable to Betty Boyce, whom he met in his days at M.H.S. Gloria Nichols has graduated from New Rochelle and is now teaching History in Taun- ton High School. In her spare time she is writ- ing a book called Caviar at Every Meal . Between working at Buck ' s and bowling at the Y we find DiCK Pearce managing his own basketball team. Anyone who would like to join just see Dick. Emily Peltola is successfully working in the Boston State House as a secretary. She really loves her work, but she says that she gets rather bored, so she is going to open a Sweet Shop just for excitement. Barbara Pfister is sitting pretty these days. She is a model in New York, where she lives alone, and likes it. Between modeling jobs she appears over WBZ every Friday and Saturday night singing lullabies to the little children. She .■ aid she really enjoys this and we bet the chil- dren do, too! John McManus has smashed the atom! He has also invented a tiny rocket ship run bv atomic energy. Although John is hard to find these days, one can occasionally uncover him by the u e of a geiger counter. Kay Seaver has profiited by her business ex- perience with Woolworth ' s. She is now head supervisor at the telephone office. Working with her is a Lindy of whom we used to hear much in the old days. Dorothy Welsh secretary at Taunton high school, may be seen frequently delivering tele- phone messages to that handsome new Mechan- ical Drawing teacher. When Middleboro ' s new high school is built, something that has been talked about for twelve ye rs Taunton will lo- p its office secretary and probably the mechanical drawing teacher, too. Terry Tripp is now living in Connecticut where he is running a chain of gas stations. He expects to build in Middleboro shortly, and of- fers free service to the wives of school friends, who. like his wife, try to cool the motor by stripping the gears. Stan Sawicki, believe it or not is married ro the Dean ' s daughter and is coaching basket- hall at the University of Connecticut. Well, he had to get a degree somehow! The new Division Passenger Agent for the N.Y., N.H.. H. R.R. is Donald Shaw. If vou ' re planning a trip somewhere, mavbe to the Lively Ranch Hotel, get in touch with Donald for advice on comfortable travel.

Class of Forty - Nine Twenty-seven Mary ( Tiny ) Pina is the owner of a chain of beauty salons here on the Cape. On her door hangs the sign, If you want a Toni ' , come and see me. Josephine Scanlon after three years ' train- ing at St. Luke ' s, is out doing private duty. She gives special preference to young, good-looking male patients. Emily Small is now appearing in show business, acting the full Broadway season. We hear that she is becoming quite a rich Young lady. We heard the other day that Donald Thomas is appearing in the movies in the place of Butch Jenkins. Rumor says that while Butch has outgrown his part, Donald ably fills his shoes. You remember that Donald got his start in our own Senior play. Evelyn Tornari, who is operator of a beau- ty salon, features a very distinctive hairdo called the upsweep Bob . Her earlier experience with a particular Bob enables her to be extremely successful in this line. Everything with RoCKY Savas is just love- Lee these days. He decided to open a store of his own just to get the feel of directing a few no-account clerks. This and his outside activ- ities of the love-Lee nature we mentioned keep Rocky well occupied. Carlton Gammons, now manager of the Poland Spring House in Maine, has given up the Lively Ranch as a bad job, but he is very satisfied with his new position. The new manager of the Kennedy depart- ment store in Brockton is Danny Purcell, who still finds time, however, to coach the Hero Manufacturers ' softball team. Warren Leggee is the operator of a unique ' Tix It Shop in old Center Street. He fives anything from old washing machines to Cadil- lacs. Danny Purcell claims that Warren recent- ly even revived his old wristwatch for him! Arthur Harris, who majored in archeology at the University of New Mexico, has been seen at various times in different parts of the globe, digging up other people ' s skeletons. ( Art leaves those in the closet strictly alone.) Keep dig- ging. Art. Marilyn McManus, a former M.H.S. twir- ler, is now twirling the nurses around at St. Luke ' s, where she is superintendent. The girls who work for her say she ' s a good superintend- ent, although she ' s still capable of a fiery flash, as in the old days. Eleanor Washburn, president of the Cabot Club, is just an ordinary housewife major- ing in club activities. EUie ' s so busy with her clubwork that Curt swears he ' s going to put his foot down and demand that she devote more time to their home. Frank Iampietro, owner and operator of the Middleboro Fruit Company, is rather a busy man. His work includes wholesale dealing with all the Pushcart Tonys in the larger cities of Massachusetts and Rhode Island. Sylvia Cosseboom is now modeling for I. J. Fox. She may be seen dashing through the streets (in the month of August) with a mink coat in tow. But don ' t get excited — this is just an advertising scheme. Stetson Thomas is working for the govern- ment. He is known all over Washington as the finest and best paid architectural engineer. Right now he is trying to get a few lines on the Coe Construction Company. Maurice DeLongchamps is presently em- ployed by the Proctor and Gamble Company. Yes, believe it or not, Maurice is selling Ivory soap to grocery dealers all over Southeastern Massachusetts. He nearly lost his job when he exclaimed to a classmate, This really is the ' Life, Boy! ' . Frederick Martin, president and sole oper- ator of the Middleboro Clothing Company, is closing the store indefinitely while he is pur- Sueing culture and a broader education. Patricia Skahill is at the Salem Hospital where she is one of the most popular nurses. As in high school days, she spends a great deal of her time ' buzzing around . Lee Marsden is one of Swain ' s most famous commercial artists. In her spare time she travels to Boston quite frequently to design displays for Rock ' s new store. Donald Matthews, another Swain School graduate, is making a name for himself in com- mercial art. Have you seen the new Chevrolet ads? That ' s our Donald! After four years of hard schooling at Becker, Shirley Churchill is working at our own St. Luke ' s Hospital. Shirle reports that Al is well with her! Charlotte Leonard, after six years of faithful work in the Middleboro Trust Com- pany, has retired to the married life of a happy wife. Mary Iampietro is now working in the town treasurer ' s office and from all reports makes a very efficient secretary. Even so, Mary says she still has time for a Little fun.
