MEMORIAL HIGH SCHOOL was named Mrs. America. She has thirteen children, a baker's dozen. It is believed she was influenced by a movie she once saw called Cheaper by the Dozen. BARBARA ARMSTRONG after completing her course at Mass. State has settled down to teach- ing. Her pupils find it difficult to get a word in edge-wise. Peeking behind the glass window, holding un babv for mea to see is LORRAINE DUTRA who along with EVELYN LITTLE, you remember her, the shy one, has charge of Pediatrics, In- fant Denartment to you, at the Massachusetts General Hospital. Who's that coming down the street? Why it's KATHLEEN QUAGBN with her three sets of twins. Kathy our first girl to be married had a head start on the rest of us. A close second to Kathy is RUTH SAMPSON who has become a world traveler following her husband from army post to post. Too bad about Harry james. He didn't have a chance after PAULINE SAUNDERS got into the swing of things. Since MARJORIE SMITH has become private secretary to the President of the United States, she hasn't had time for her other outside in- terests. Too bad fellows. Speaking about private secretaries, did you know that JEAN SHAW has opened a school for such and is stressing charm and poise as a secretary's best assets. ANN WHITMORE, world famous cover girl and model has not forgotten her old friends and we can say I knew her when. Did you hear the latest about SHIRLEY FUL- LER? It seems that Eleanor Roosevelt needed a secretary to accompany her on her travels. Guess who got the job? DAISY HAYNES who got her start as a sec- retary now owns her own business. It seems that under that shy smile lurks a woman of steel. If you're ever down by the Blue Grass coun- try, drop in and see NATALIE LANG. She owns her own horse farm and besides that she is secretary to the local Chamber of Commerce. You know FATI-IIE STETSON is rivate sec 1 P ' retary to the big boss on Station WBZ. She also helps out in a pinch by singing. Of course, Twenty-nine she has a little trouble reaching the mike, but for her any Mike would come down a peg or two. If you ever want any information from the F.B.I., just write to your old classmate LILLIAN TORNARI. She is in charge of the entire filing system. Her M.H.S. training sure came in handy. Any Class of '50 students can be sure of a warm reception here at St. Luke's hospital with MEGGY WESTGATE as head nurse. MUFFY qMafalda to youy IAMPIETRO is now medical secretary to the famous Doctor Kildare, where it is rumored that it's her voice we hear calling Dr. Kildare. Bonwit Teller has a new and Tres Chic personnel in the persons of ELEANOR MEKEL- ONES and NANCY MERCER famous fashion predictors of things to come. It is rumored they are going in for designing men-'s wear. MURIEL GLOVER is first Congresswoman of Massachusetts. She got her start by taking a civil service exam which put her in the public eye. Her right hand man is BETTY GUIDABONI who goes around patting all the babies on the head winning the everlasting approval of their mommies. They say MARILYN KUECHLER is one of the best nurses you ever saw. It seems she knows just how to take your pulse. What a way to die! PAT DODGE is in the movie business model- ing Esther William's bathing suits. CWhistle or wolf call.D It seems Plymouth Shoe has two new mem- bers added to its office staff. IRENE PICARD and PRISCILLA TINKHAM have taken over the lil- ing system. After devising a new machine that auto- matically changes short hand into long hand, ANN BRADFORD has retired to her estate in South Middleboro where she hopes to perfect an automatic water drinker. BARBARA LEARY has been awarded the Le- gion of Honor for her quick thinking action In decoding a sudden message that came over the wire while she was on duty as telephone operator for Boston Exchange and sending for the marines. The famous heroine said to re- porters gathered at her porch- It was noth- Ing-just run of the MILL.

They hope to have a chain of clinics across the country within a few years. When a call came from the government for registered nurses, NANCY RICE immediately volunteered her services. The nurses were as- signed to various sections of the country to serve as general medical supervisors over .each district. Nancy is now in Califomia administer- ing medicine to Van Johnson, Clark Gable, and Kirk Douglas who, she says, will never get well if she can help it.
