CYNTHIA MARTELL DoRorHY KING BERNARD LAREAU ALBERT PARKER ass Praphecy PON graduating from Milton High School, Theresa Iordan tried nurseis training. She discovered that she did not like the course. Days later, at Grand Central Station, as she was ready to leave for home she began to sing to herself. Someone heard her and she is now a popular radio-TV. singing star. Three years after graduation we find Leon Breault in the huge office of his downtown Grand Isle Super Market. He has just made the final arrangements with one of the banks to finance his next trip to Florida. It is four years after graduation, Beverly Bovat has just convinced her husband that their Vermont farm is not productive or large enough and that they should take the cow and kids and move to a new farming frontier in Utah. Florence Terry had definite plans for the future, shortly after graduation she was married. Now, several years later, they are just back from their second honeymoon. To top matters off, she has just learned that she is first prize winner of an American housewife contest on How to make children mindf' After Cynthia Martell graduated from Milton High School, she attended Albany Business College and became a successful secretary. Four years later we learn that she has been lured away from her hum-drum existence as a secretary and is once more delighting capacity audiences with her juvenile portrayals on stage and screen. WVhen Agnes Dunakin left high school, she went down to Brattleboro to take up nurseis training. We are sorry to say that she didnlt finish the course because she decided that a certain junior boy was more important to her than nurseis training. Dorothy King while going through her first three years at high school, was seriously thinking of becoming a secretary. During her senior year she decided to take up farming, and not on her fatheris farm either.

Eight years after graduation we find Rohert Brisson has married his high school sweetheart, and has settled down in California where he is owner of one of the largest sports ear and hot rod shops in the nation. For relaxation he often drives one of his models in the stock car races. WVe find that seine years later that Albert Parker is settled down in a mid-western city where he is making good money as a foreman in a steel mill.
