1 1 Let us go from the year nineteen hundred fifty three into the future and see Just what has become of the class of 53 It is the year 1969, and Mrs, Norman Donovan (Caroline Clendaniel) and Mrs. Robert Miller (Gloria Ketterer)9 both of New York City, are cruis- ing along in a new Jetmobile towards the elegant New York home of Mr. and Mrs. (Connie Darby) Bruce Harpster. Upon their arrival, they fihd Connie busily working over blueprints, while Bruce has Just finished washing the lunch dishes. (Connie is a construction engineer). Prom Connie, Caroline and Gloria learn that: Virginia Brooks is now Mrs. Archibald Chesterfield living on a large estate in New Orleans; Donald Fisher is still working at Collins» Clothing Store in order to pay his clothing bills; Martha Moore is an officer in the Waves; and Jerry Has- semer is a government raeterologist in Washington D.C. The guests become so involved in their chat that they almost forget their dinner date in Baltimore with Mr. and Mrs. (Leona Brown) Wilson Jones. They bid Bruce and Connie goodbye and are off for Maryland where Leona is at the door to greet them. After a good home-cooked meal, the women learn from Leona that: Mr. and Mrs. (Sarah Messick) Phillip Nester are living happily in Baltimore with their family of eight; Howard Carey is engaged in government work--lieking postal stamps. Meanwhile, Bill has turned on their new 6l inch wall model t.v. set, and to their surprise they see Esther Donovan doing a vocal number with the Jike Spones orchestra. Then at that moment a news flash appears on the screen: Captain Glenn Green heroically saves his ship during a dis- astrous storm. Leona also speaks of Doris Mills who is working as star reporter for Milton»s Towncrier , and Nancy Hopkins, who has Just re- ceived her R.N. to work in a doll hospital. The following morning we find Caroline and Gloria traveling toward Dela- ware. As they ride swiftly along the countryside, they observe a huge sign: Baker»s Acres . The name sounds familiar and when investigated, they find out that Clifford owns practically all of Broadkiln. Clifford tells them that: Buddy Stuchlik is still employed by Swift Co.; Patsy Pepper is making beds and washing dishes at Beebe Hospital in Lewes; Nancy Phillips is an office worker for E.I. DuPont deNemours Ce.Ronnie Jefferson has married a rich old widow and is living in South Carolina; and Doris Spencer is washing dishes at the Southern Grille in Milford.As the familiar helicopter comes with the daily mail, Caroline and Gloria discover from Howard Carey (recently appointed Sussex Mail carrier) that: Joe Brown has finally become Portland s official Pan-Mopper ; Jimmy Jefferson is head usher at Schines Theater in Milford; Katheryn Parsons is a housewife living in Oregon; and George Siegfried owns a night club in Las Vegas. After goodbyes are said, the women again warm up their engine to return home. They reach Philadelphia in time for the Eagles-Lions football game, and who should they see but Graham Dill on the field with his towels and water bucket. After the game he tells them that: Mr. and Mrs. (Lois Hec- kman) Charles Carey are living in a little cottage in Maine;Norman Rey- nolds is sweeping floors at Carnegie Hall; George Couch is a broncho buster for a rodeo; and Hubbard Macklin has just returned to the United States after spending three years in Russia. He was appointed by the president to represent this country at an international conference or- ganized for the purpose of establishing an international language. We pause here to mention that Miss Myrtle Witherspoon, a Republicrat has recently been inaugerated the first woman president of the U.S.A While riding toward home, singing School Days , the women agree that their classmates have certainly made great accomplishments since high school days.
