Have you seen any of our classmates lately? Andy: Ishould say I have. Some of the gang are here right now. Nelson Brown is my assistant and Louis Balcom and Joe Angelo are the caretakers. Here is Raymond Liddell, ont of our bell hops, coming back with the morning paper. Don't you want to take a look at it? Hazel: Yes, l always look at the 'ads' first though, to see if there are any bar- gains. What's this? Wave-set by Ruth Doherty. Guaranteed to Last Two Weeks. I'll bet it's good. As I remember she al- ways did have perfect waves: and look at this Skin Soap advertised below by Hu- gena Dunbar. Andy: But you didn't notice the most important thing. The paper is edited by William Burleigh, and it's called Natick Through a Key Hole. Ada Harris is the cartoonist. By the way, what have you been doing?

John Mitchell is run- ning against Mo Mo Featherman for Mayor of Natick and Pearl Gainsley and Evelyn Hilt are their campaign managers. You should have been in town last week. A big knot was tied. Hazel: For goodness' sake Andy, what kind of a knot. Tell me quickly! Andy: Well, Walter Bell and Frances Gerrity and Marjorie Bernard and Lloyd Blanchard were married at a double wed- ding. Carlo Bianchi and Gracie Palladino stood up for them all. You know Carlo is a great wrestler and Gracie is his Illall- ager. Did you meet any other classmates in your travels?

fze .QA,gY.gA!'WQN - 1934 tract by Stanley Bleasdale Studios. They will have the leads in You've Got To Be Rugged. Hazel: Isn't that nice? 1 met Doris Buckler in New York. She, Arlene Casa- vant and Elsie Brown run a big apartment house. and John Duff is their janitor. How about Joe Corrigan? VVhat's he doing now? Andy: He and Sibber Grassey are owners of a circus. It is in town this week, and their star attraction is Walter Whitaker as toe dancer. Demetre Petro does the Flying Trapeze Act, and Arthur Palli is the Human Cannon Ball. You'd better see this circus before you lea.ve town. Hazel: Don't worry. I wouldn't miss it for the world. I saw a good one while I was in Paris. I also met Dot Prime and Phyllis Roach there. They are models in an exclusive gown shop. Dot told me that during a trip to China she saw Dot Charl- ton and Clara Bremner who are Red Cross nurses. Andy: Did you know that my nephew goes to Harvard and he has Reggie Wil- liamson and Harold Hall as professors? Hazel: Really. That reminds me. Sis Gilleran married a wealthy broker, who was a Harvard man, and she spends her winters in Palm Beach. At last she's ful- filled her desire to be a lady of leisure. She wrote and told me that she attended a recent dance, and was quite surprised to find Went Quast, and his snappy dance orchestra, playing for the season at one of the leading hotels. Eddie Liscombe is the pianist, and Helen Hladick the torch singer. Eddie Meek is causing quite a sensation as a violinist. Andy: Good for Quast-- I knew he'd get ahead. A few days ago l had to go to Bos- ton on business, and while in town I hired a taxi. To my surprise there was Joe .len- nings as my driver. We were speeding along and were stopped by Francis Daley, a city policeman. He drove me to the court house, and whom should I see, but llcrbis- Parmeuter on the .ludge's bench. Un glancing around I noticed Evalyn Ernst as court ste-nographer and Tony Evangelista, her assistant. Edgar lVlat- the-ws, thc big boss politician, tried to PA G li 'I' HN fix it up, but he didn't have the power he thought he had so I paid a ten dollar fine. Hazel: Next time you get pinched get Dan Garvey to fix it up, because he s got a pull in Boston. Andy: Did you read in the paper last week about the train wreck? Bo Bo Snell was the engineer. It was quite a wreck. They called Helen DeLuca and Louise DeWitt who are trained nurses, and for a moment they thought they'd have to call Francis Lynch, the only undertaker in the city: but Gertrude Brophy, the leading doctor, happened along and took care of the injured. John Mackin, a traveling salesman, who was also on the train, prov- ed to be the hero of the wre-ck. Hazel: Oh that's too bad. l'll have to go to see John and get the story. What a surprise I got when I heard that Gladys Moore and Jimmy Wheeler were married immediately after high school. They are now living in California. Jimmy has made a great deal of money lately and Frank Murphy is their chauffeur. Speaking of matrimony Eleanor Long, Helen Hogan and Helen McCor1nack run a matrimonial bureau in New York. They say that re- cently business isn't so good. I heard from Helen the other day. She said Kay McDaniels, Alice McGrath and Marjorie Graye stopped in to see them on their way to Hollywood. Kay married a ball player from Dartmouth and they were going to see him play ball in Hollywood. Andy: Oh yes, last week I visited Braves Field and I found that the Natick Ath- letics. a fine. team, was coached by Jerra Carey and his assistants were Dana Thorpe and Joe Sullivan. Bob McNichols is the star outfielder and Lawrence Kimball makes a very good umpire, John Downing is the pitcher. Hazel: I always knew Jerra would be in the big-league some day. Whatever be- came of some of the quieter members of the class? Andy: Edward Murphy. the Einstein of our class, and Francis McAllen, have just returned from Mars in the new flying ma- chine they invented. Guy Heald and How- ard Hedderig, well-known astronomers, also took the trip. They refuse, however, to make any report on it.
