THE GOBBLER-1947 JOHNSON HIGH SCHOOL picture of the Noted Wolf Hunters, Rich Shellnut and John Perley, announcing the opening of a chain of exclusive Hunting Lodges, located on the coast of California, where Rene Nocera has recently established a home for aging nurses. Down the street from this, is located the Fickenworth, Frechette, and Farrell Massaging and Reducing Parlor. Hearing the breakfast bell, I proceeded down the long carpeted hall, over Persian rugs made by the Wentworth-Curley Carpet Company, into the dining room where my breakfast was being served. Picking up my spoon, I noticed it was silver-plated by my old friends, the Bashaw-Doran Silver-Plating Company, and started to eat the delicious, nutritious Kent Kist Grapefruit, sent to me from Texas, where my former classmate, Marilyn Kent is now living. I started on my eggs next, produced on the Chadwick and Lovejoy Poultry Farm. Finish¬ ing my breakfast, I went to my room where my valet, Harold Dushame, was laying out my clothes for the day. My clothes were all labeled by the Giglio and Camasso Ship-Shape Clothing Stores. After getting dressed, I went to the garage and got into my Gordon Speed Wagon. My chauffeur, Warren Finn, drove me swiftly to the down-town area. On the way down I passed the spacious office of brilliant Doc Lambert. Near-by was the home of Reid Norris and the former Janet Smith, now Mrs. Norris. Jimmy McComish went speeding by me in his new Radar Car. I also noticed Agnes Doherty hurrying along to her secretarial job at the Torpey-Houde Foundation Company. I passed the high school where Barbara Stewart and Joyce Robinson are now teaching and where Harold Vincent has the coaching position. From there I went through the busi¬ ness section which has grown up considerably in the last ten years. George Stewart’s Fresh Fruit and Soft Drink Stand is now located where the well- remembered Filetti’s establishment was in the old days. Joan Littlefield and Denise Blanchette have a thriving beauty parlor business with Bob Wilson as head barber. Virginia Robinson and Fran Narushof are the owners of the former Magnolia Restaurant, now called the Sleepy Hollow Cafe. And so we come to the close of a short preview of the class of ’47 in the year ’57. Respectfully submitted, Rene and Vinnie Best Looking Girl . . Best Looking Boy . . Best Dressed Girl . .
