NNW GY G3 s...m..G fa B-Two kids that are cutting each other's throats are Iohnny Grimes, manager of the First National, and Iohnny Bouchard, manager of the A. 6: P. Grimes' able assistant is that dashing man of the rinks, Rollie Pollie-I mean Roland Poirier. S-We'll have to stop off at Ray Emerson's Ye Royal Flower Shoppe , and send Ann Park, who finally married that fellow Hill, a bouquet on their tenth wedding anniversary. Ray's wife, the former Ieanette LaCasse, is doing a swell job as her husband's secretary. B-Billy Diamond and Curt Legg are running a large newstand on the corner S B S B S B of 42nd and Broadway. -Yes, and Bernie Gamache finally became a C. P. A. after ten years at the same college. And his old pal, Bud Schofield, has a contract for a large government project-plumbing supplies you know. Stiles Simpson is his contractor and Warren Kohler is his draftsman. -Ruth Carpenter is an excellent and very successful doctor's secretary. Too bad Dr. Bill Howard doesn't need a good nurse and secretary-but then, he has Betty Boudreau to help him. Whatever happened to that pal of yours, Norm Horton? -Oh, Norm joined the marines. l see him once in a while but leathernecks and navy men don't get along very well. Has he deserted Leonie Driscoll after all these years? -No, she's still waiting patiently for him when he comes home at infrequent intervals. In the meantime, however, she isn't letting the grass grow under her feet. She's one of the most popular girls in town. -I suppose Doug is still peddling milk? -I should say not! He's president on one of the largest drug chains in Northern New England. He got his start at Wally's in Mansfield. I saw where Iakie Tutelian's leather corporation got a large order for government shoes. I guess Walter Turcotte is selling him most of the leather. S-Yeah, nice shoes! I have a pair of them on. And see this ring? It was made by one of Bill Thompson's gold craftsmen in his shop in Attleboro. B--Do you ever see lack Noble? S B S S B -He's in the merchant marine and is first mate on the U. S. S. Utopia. I sup- pose Barbara Beetlestone is now a librarian at home? -Yes, but she is trying hard to get transferred here. North isn't the place that it used to be when we were around there. -l suppose all the houses at home have fresh coats of paint on them now that the clean-up campaign-sponsored by Walt Murphy's Paint Shop- is over. And I'll bet they all have new lace curtains from Gorden Pepper's Lace Shoppe. -Is Hank Nittel still as talkative as ever? -Yes, he runs a phonograph factory. S-I saw Grace Fawcett at the Legion Convention the other day. She had just B-Remember Anthony Greco? He received first prize for her drum majoring. She is still quite the kid. finally married that girl from Plainville and settled down-that is, a bit, but he is still quite the athlete. Page Twenty-nine

t' ..f'rs31,CD , so S-No, that's swell. I saw Dave Lomasney going into Grand Central as I was coming out. I hadn't seen him since he left for Montana before we grad- uated. He was heading back there then. He has married one of those cowgirls. B-Oh, when I was home last time, I went to a tea at Eleanor Gendron's house. She and that fellow from Moran Street had just come back from their honey-moon. Ethel Lemaire is now a telephone operator. S-Hmm-not bad. B-And Dot Kennedy. Rose Tutelian is the girl at the main desk there. That's a nice suit that you have on, Sully. Is it custom made? S-Oh, that! I picked that up at Lumnah's second hand store. Funny isn't it what nice stuff you can buy for two bucks? I'm going to the ball game tomorrow. The Yankees are playing the Red Sox. It's ironical isn't it that Gordon Feid is playing for the Red Sox against Iohnny Rhude, the pitcher for the Yankees. Willie Darrah is manager of the Brooklyn Dodgers. I guess that his high school training is doing him some good. But--speak- ing of looking nice-that's a very nice coiffure you have. You didn't have it done at Vivian Marlow's did you? B-Yes, she's got a beautiful salon on Fifth Avenue. It's right next door to the Mutual Insurance Company which employs a lot of North Attleboro girls as typists. Dick Morris is there. He is the manager and he has Myrtle Hevey, Elaine Sullivan, Barbara Iohnson, Norma Malinowski, and Milly Roberts working under him. He has a partiality towards his old friends. Can you blame him? S-I am going to Radio City tomorrow night after the game. Gorham Underhill invited me up to see him. He's in television and is a big executive. He has his own program. Ieanette Glaiel is his announcer, and Edie Southway is doing alright with her renditions of the classics. Getting away from the classics, Carl Berglund is producing some pretty romantic numbers. The latest and best, Eleanore is dedicated to his Wife, that gal from Winthrop that he used to write those long and dreamy notes to. B-Speaking of romances and dreamy notes, Marion Welch is a good senior Councilor at Camp Ataloa in Maine, and that fellow from Maine she used to write to is right across the lake. I don't blame her for taking that job as a relief from the monotony of her school teaching position. S-We've quite a few famous people in our class. Ioe King, for example, has resigned his professorship at Harvard and has his hat in the ring as a presidential dark horse . His campaign manager is the gifted and arnbi- tious Helen Morrell. B-Did you know that Albert Cloutier is quite a photographer for Ladies' Home Iournal? He's been doing extremely well on the European situation and also on the Ipana tooth-paste ads. He uses Loretta Gagnon as his model for these. Maybe his success is partially due to the artistic influence of his assistants, Allen MacDonald and Ray Rogers. S-George Hayes is in European waters now. He joined shortly after I did. Page Twenty-eight

..-X G1 KH-5.1.9 I -.J S-I hear Art Glode and Eva Desilets, and her old pal, Elinor White, and her Ice Cream magnate stepped off the deep end recently together. Now there are two more couples at Niagara Falls. B-We also had a scare recently because we thought Lee Sweet had eloped with his girl, but no, he was only away looking at a bargain-a used 1929 model T ford,-for only S30 and 3 Ivory Soap wrappers. CP. S. he bought itll What is Norton Sutton doing now? S-He has gone into woodworking business with Chabot :S Company. He's in charge of the left hand screw driver department. B-Dot Bugbee and Max Berger have got a long term contract with Walt Disney's studios. He uses their voices for his animated cartoons-like Mickey Mouse and Minnie the Moocher. B-Betty McGuire is now secretary to our presidential nominee, Ioe King. Barbara Foley is his receptionist. Betty Palin is helping to write Ioe's cam- paign speeches. S-And Sue Krikorian is writing a syndicated ADVICE TO THE LOVELOHNH column for the Evening Chronicle . B-Those three mad jitterbugs, Fred Battersby, Ray Marcoullier, and Eddie Brennan are still trudging up to Plainville to visit the village belles. S-Ed Martin, who always had quite a vocab, is now manufacturing a new dictionary written by himself. B-Albert Larsen is now the director and soloist of the choir at the First Baptist Church. He is also one of the town's most ardent speakers for the pacifist cause. S-Roy Willmore is another of the many expert workers in Chabot's Wood- working Shop. B-Helen Walsh is now the president and sponsor of the CHAIN GANG club, which has members in all parts of New England. S-Obelena Greenleaf is writing gags for one of the country's leading radio shows. Most of those shows can certainly use some new jokes. B-F rom the way that Bob Halliday used to burn up the road between his home and the school, I always knew he'd turn out to be some kind of a speed demon, and, so he is. He's a traffic cop at present, and he spends most of his time bawling out some other fellow for speeding. S-Lillian Beaulieu is now the head waitress at Leon Pini's Lafayette House , and Harriette Forbes is now running a nursery school. She had plenty of experience at minding children while she was in high school. B-Yeah, and Hugh Donnelly is now head janitor at good old N. A. H. S. and he says that they never had a class to equal ours, either. Yes, Sully, all of the members of the class of 1940 have done very well. S-Well, I always knew they would. They are a swell gang of kids. Post Scriptum Cor maybe it should be POST MORTEMD. We hope that this will be taken in fun. It was written that way. Page Thirty
