glamorous stars . News was received recently that Fred Franklin has been made a jet pilot for the Air Force in Hawaii. David Germaine, who is making the Navy his career, is now scanning the ocean bottom as Commander of the Nautilus. However, they'll both be on leave for our reunion. Our two prize agricultural students, Philip Ball and Philip Boardman, are now mana- ging the largest cattle ranch in Wyoming. They were recently visited by Steve Macchi, who is now the star player for the Boston Celtics. Also making the western sunshine bright are Deanna Emprimo and Alma Stalker. After serving four years in the Marine Corps, Alma is now a sergeant in charge of recruiting. Deanna, who is living with her in a trailer, is teaching music at the University of Nevada and is engaged to a Spanish professor there. Remember the two joke tellers, Rose Kirchner and Io Hayburn? Io does designs for store windows, while Rose does the actual trimming. They are so much in demand that they travel constantly all over the world. I attended a fashion show recently in which the magnificent work of Bea Swan was modeled by no other than Betty Gibbs. Between them they are doing beautiful work and are also enjoying life in a penthouse in New York. Two classmates , Shirley Snyder and Lenora Wells, married soon after graduation. Shirley, who lives in Alabama, corresponds with Lenora in Vermont. Dolores Kinarney, now Mrs. Cedric Sidney of Oxford, England, may be able to att- end our approaching festivities provided she can obtain a leave of absence from her teach- ing profession. Two of my old colleagues, Leslie Ward and Martha Brewer, have both proved success- ful. Residing in Alaska, Martha has inherited a large, whale blubber refining factory, while Leslie is with her missionary husband deep in the heart of Africa. As for myself, I have just returned from an expedition into the Everglades where I studied the habits of the Okeeghobee frogs. We hope you'll be able to attend the reunion where further information undoubtedly will be uncovered concerning the class of '56, Sincerely , Trudy Conklin

We are hoping to see you, our patient and long- suffering advisors, at the Modern Mount Everett Hotel, owned by Oscar Grahn. In order to prepare you for any forthcoming shocks, perhaps I should brief you on the happenings of my fellow classmates. First of all, Dick Howden has really made rapid head- way in the construction business. He is the proud owner of the R. H. Howden Company, wh- ich constructed the United States Throughway No. 5. By the way, did you know Dorothy Bassett is his private secretary? Speaking of secretaries, both Pat Stanton and Crissy Emprimo are private secretaries to Peabody Brothers, Inc. , who own the Tehran Oil Company in Iran. You'll be pleased to know that Bill Eigen, singing The Toreador from Carmen , just made his first appearance at the Met. The staff of the Hartford General Hospital reached its peak in P -riormance two years ago when Anita Sellew, Betty Chamberlain and Geraldine Taylor joined it. Wasn't it con- venient that they were all accepted at the same hospital? Three years ago Linda Gaylord and Carolyn Woodbeck held the grand opening of their Tres Chic Beauty Salon in Hollywood, California. Since then they Have been serving many . 4. - 'TI-ll 4 18' ll .111 'N 'i if tiff 115 'EC T L.1 'Y' Y 'fl ,I ln' an
