merchandising. Jan is now the head buyer in the ladies’ department for Sears Roebuck in Boston. After working in the office at Bray’s mill for a while, Thelma decided to go into library work for her career. Thelma started at the bottom and has worked up to head librarian at the Billings Library in Burlington. Pearlene cooked hot lunches at O. H. S. for a year after high school and gained such fame for her culinary arts that she was wooed and wed by the head chef at the Waldorf-Astoria. At present Pearlene is the hostess in one of the more exclusive dining rooms there and is famous for her cakes, which she bakes as a hobby. After graduating, Beverly Herrick worked as a private secretary to Henry Ford, II for a couple of years. At this point, Bev retired from public life to marry her high school sweetheart and they are now the proud parents of four little boys! Hazel Kahlstrom had rather startling luck, for the summer after graduation an eminent historian, when visiting the Old Stone House” in Brownington, spied her and immediately swept her off her feet. Hazel is now living on Long Island and is assisting her husband in writing a history of Brownington. Because of his experience on the Press Club Staff at O. H. S., Bernie some- how got the idea that he would make a good newspaper reporter. Much to his disappointment, he discovered that he was better suited as a business manager and his present position is managing the New York Times. Fred Lambert had gained a lot of experience in his father’s line of business and when Mr. Lambert retired, Fred stepped into his shoes. They were the wrong size so Fred stepped one jump ahead and now has a nice, easy desk job in the Boston Railway Agency in the Hub-City.” Marjorie Lyon was offered a trip to New York as a graduation gift, and while there, was spotted by a talent scout who noticed her beautiful blond hair. Marge is now modeling for shampoo ads. Janette Mason married her Jimmy immediately after graduation and is now residing in Pennsylvania. From all reports, she is very happy. She and Jim plan to go to Bermuda for a vacation this summer. Soon after graduation, Janet Mason, better known as Red,” married Ralph and they immediately moved to Philadelphia where Red wrote, and published her first poem. She is well known now, all over the world. Immediately after graduation, Pauline Perkins went to Blush Hill, Waterbury, where she secured a job as secretary to one of the sponsors of W.D.E.V. Because her sponsor was attracted by her speaking voice, he gave Pauline a test, broad- casting household hints. However, Pauline didn’t remain long at this job, for one of the scouts representing Aunt Jemima’s Pancake Flour, noticed her excep- tionally fine voice and hired her. She is currently heard broadcasting commercials on their programs. Surprise of surprises, and who would have thunk” it! After taking training as a dentist’s assistant, Rebecca Racine worked for Dr. Fitch in Newport for a few years. However, now Becky has accepted a more enjoyable job, in which she spends her afternoons, from two to five, sleeping on Beautyrest” mattresses in Converse’s window. It is rumored that this advertising stunt has more than doubled Converse’s sales. After graduating, Milton Smith became famous for his patronage of Coco- Cola spots. In fact, he became so fanatical in his like for Coco-Cola that the company elected him to the fifth vice-presidency. Now Mickey can sit with his feet on his desk and guzzle Coco-Cola all day long, and is very happy. Mary Walker entered Becker College, in Worcester, after graduation where she studied music extensively. After college, Mary married her high school sweetheart and is now playing in the Boston Symphony Orchestra. YOU WILL BE WHAT YOU WILL TO BE!” —Wilcox Page Nineteen
