Remember Therese Tremblay? She has quite a little business as a caller for square dances. Her headquarters are located in Central Falls but as square dances are the vogue in Norton, she has a good following in that community. Shirley Jewett used to spend most of her waking hours on a bus between Mrs. Yelle ' s Commercial Department and Simmons in Attle- boro. Shirl remembers how disappointing it was to just miss the bus to work because of a sixth period subject, and as President of the Jewett Bus Company, she takes pity on the working students and has revised the schedule so that they can catch a bus every twenty minutes. Geri LeClaire has resigned from her position as head of the math department at Bryn Mawr and is using her mathematical mind to design women ' s accessories with geometrical precision. She is in business for herself and Geri ' s Hat and Handbag Shoppe is the latest rage in prom- inent social circles. Here Paul hesitated, gripped the arm of his chair, his eyes bulging with utter disbelief, and stared at his crystal ball. It drew my attention like a magnet and I saw reflected there a gorgeous blonde, reclining on a chaise lounge beside a beautiful swimming pool. Yes, it was Ruthie Johnson. She has married a millionaire and is living a life of luxury at Laguna Beach in California, lucky girl! That started me thinking about Joan Ash, the other blonde in our class, and I asked Paul what had happened to her. A quick glance into the crystal ball showed that Joan is the manager of a large lumber concern in Chicago and she is busy keeping Ashley ' s supplied with all the square feet of lumber and kegs of nails that it can possibly use. We always knew that Annie Gross was the artist of the class, but no one ever dreamed that she would turn out to be a top fashion designer for Metro-Goldwyn-Meyer in Hollywood. Her best customer is Anita Roberge, who has advanced from being the parrot in the class play to stardom ' s greatest actress. Her latest role is that of Cleopatra in Shake- speare ' s Antony and Cleopatra which she has brought successfully to the screen. Anne Haskell had such a good time redecorating the Household Arts laboratory when she was in high school, that she has continued in that field and has become an interior decorator of great renown. Her studio is in Attleboro over Bibeault ' s Drug Store. Recently she journeyed to New York where she renovated the famous Hattie Carnegie salon. Paul glanced at his watch and exclaimed that it was a good thing that we had finished as he had to catch the next train to New York where he had an engagement at Radio City Music Hall. The time had passed so quickly in recalling our old school mates that I hadn ' t realized how late the hour was. Heavens! If I didn ' t tear home I would miss that super major who was taking me out to dinner! Paul and I shook hands, wished each other luck, and parted, glad to have had such reliable news of the good old class of ' 48. —Mary Thomas
