At the opening game of the baseball season between the Red Sox and Yankees, ARNOLD E. the Governor of Mass. threw out the first ball. His bodyguard, WALTER C, was there to assist. As the game opened, we noticed that LARRY W. was the star southpaw for the Red Sox. The other half of the battery was TEDDY C. , the Sox ' s best catcher. We saw CONNIE T. photographer for the NEW YORK TIMES, who was taking pictures of celebrated spectators. The first waa of JOAN, MARY and KubE LOKiilS, successors to the McGuire Sisters. The next was of NANCY F. , the Prima Ballerina of the U. S. The prize stiot was of KAY C. and AIME V. who were currently starring in HARRY G. s latest production, Meet Me At The Casbah, Baby. Suddenly, the eyes of the crowd turned toward NORMAN M. , Fleet Admiral of the U.S. Navy. With him was RITA C., his secretary. As we looked behind us, we not- iced NANCY G. and ANNETTE H. , whose careers had been as we anticipated. Suddenly, bedlam broke loose in the stands and one man was knocked to the floor. The loudspeaker called for a doctor. Carrying her little black bag, PAULA Y. appeared on the scene with her nurse, MARILYN B. How amazed they were to find their old classmate, RUDY F. , branch manager of the Statler Hotel on the French Riviera! PAUL- INE S. and MARTHA S. came running over to them. Pauline was with her history class from the new Norton High School, and Martha, with her class of Social Studies. Paul- ine told us that JENNIE R. was also at the game, and that Jennie was now the House- hold Arts teacher in Norton. Of course, we had already heard the news about the suc- cess of Lynn L. Earlier in the year, Lynn, through her great household achievements, had been named Mrs. America, and was touring the country. Martha had heard that GAIL A. was recently appointed Director of the Forsythe School for Dental Hygienists. Gail had said that MARY ANN H. was now director of her own TV show, Chatting With Ma Hayes. Looking through the crowd for the ice-cream man, we noticed BOBBY D., the new manager of the Ford Co., and his two private secretaries, THERESA K. and BETTY S. Sitting near them was DIANNE V. , owner of Helena Rubenstein ' s Salons. Dianne had a lot of competition since JANET S, took over Peggy Newton Cosmetics Co. Still look- ing for the ice-cream man we came upon BEA S, and GLORIA C., Christian Dior ' s head- dress makers. Thunder in the clouds, turned out to be an airplane salute to DAVID W. , who was Pour Star General in the Air Force and guest of honor. Later on, we were talking to LANIE R. and JUDY W. , who were in partnership to- gether managing New England ' s best Nursery School. When we left the ball park, there in the middle of the crowd was BILLY C. , giving a demonstration of his new Super-Sonic Tractor. The baseball game had turned out to be a reunion of the class of 55,
