' THE SASSAMCDN H932 ' have you? How did you get 'way out here? Eddie: Richard Robbins and I came out in his new monoplanc to see Howie Bur- bidge, the great runner, do his stuff in the big Kalamazoo Marathon. Richie' went back home to South Natick, but as Kalamazoo has always appealed to me- that is, the name has-I decided to stay. Then I saw your ad and came right up. I didn't expect to see anyone I knew. Betty: The girls usually drop in here at lunch time. You'll see some more classmates then. Eddie: Girls-what girls? Betty: Oh, didn't you know? Anna Garvin is the cooking teacher in the High School here and Clara Allen keeps books for Huck Roberts. You know he's going well as the new manager for Grant's. Liz might stop here, too. She just arrived. She has been out West, painting a picture of Esther Shea. Esther is tak- ing Greta Garbo's place now. They say She even bleached her hair. Eddie: Esther isn't the only star we have in our ranks. James Brady is on the New York stage just at present. And you should see Dick Casey. He's certainly climbing up in the world-but then-he always was a cocky chap at school. Betty: What is he doing now? Eddie: Oh, he's a professor at Sherborn Tech. Dan Davis is traveling, He spends most of his time at Roma -I should say Rome. I wonder what became of Bob Fiske? Betty: Ile is succeeding as a musical comedy director, Mary Bond, Jean Bor- den, and Wilhelmina Pansieri are in his show. Millie Ware is the pianist. 1 saw their rhow and it was great. Eddie: It should be, with all that talent. Wcslcy Hopf' was telling me something about it. Hr-'s their manager. Betty: By the way, I saw Eunice Viles their-. She is a reporter for John Wil- liams' paper. The Spccklarn, Eddie: John has hi: paper printed at John I'lrunc:iu'.: printing press, doesn't he? I'AfH'I 'l'I'IN Betty: Yes. They say Eunice rode out in a car she borrowed from Lloyd Prescott. You know, Lloyd is manager of the Natick branch of Sebastian Angelo's news stands. Eddie: Well-well. Who do you sup- pose is the principal of the new high school of Felchville that Art Thayer, the great architect, designed? Betty: Why, I heard that it was Phil Sellew and I also heard that Kenneth Damon is teaching Chemistry and Soapy Scott is the Geometry teacher. They say Soapy has memorized the whole book. It seems to me that would take a long time. Eddie: Where did you get all the inform- ation? Betty: I had a letter from Barbara Carr. Eddie: What is Barbara doing now? She used to be a great friend of Astrid Erlandsorfs. Betty: She's running a Sandwich Shop at the High School and Dot Hume is working with her. Astrid Erlandson and Hildegarde Peterson teach at the new Natick Kindergarten. Eddie: Did you hear about the accident Vivian Arnold had? Betty: No. Tell me about it. Eddie: It was like this-she and Harry Church were out riding on one of the new motorcycles Harry designed and she fell off the back of it when they blew one of the cheap tires they bought from Bill Warren, the garage man. Betty: That's terrible. What did they do? Eddie: They took her right over to Clifford Main's Health Home and then called Dr. Oliver Dufault. They thought for a while they'd have to call Mary Scott. Betty: I hear that she is the only woman undertaker in the East. Eddie: You're right. With the aid of three efficient nurses, Bea Dillon, Jeanette Lovejoy, and Christine Duff they pulled her through.
