Miss Gwen Coleman iwith the E like the mustardl has iust returned from another of her sight seeing tours to Nagasaki and thereabouts where she shows the bulging eyed tourists the points of interest concerning the atomic bomb of 45 . The next thing as unbelievable as the atmoic bomb was the graduation of the class of 46 . Over in the corner we see Connie sitting on her husband's lap taking the part of his secre- tcrry. She trusts no other women. Marilyn McGuire made such a hit with the crmy with her new slush pump invention, that General Cassidy made her his co-worker. She i: now general in charge of the WAC's. Miss Dorothy Quinn that l said it and l'm glad girl has her own very successful radio program now. During the day she appears in such serials as John's Other Mother-in-law ishe's the Mother-in-lawl and Blot on My Past. ln the last one she is the Blot. Miss Ruth Nielsen, our Editor-in-Chief has really put her writing ability to good use. The book of the month club of which she is in charge has just put forth to the public her latest novel lt Comes From a Good Source. Miss Harriet Ross taking over Lorenzo Jones' place as inventor has just invented a new de- vice to wave the eyebrows. Miss Betty fhalf-pintl Kinne has iust recovered from an accident and is hobbling around on a cane, she being so small she was run over by a small boy on a scooter as he did not see her. We now see entering Mrs. Donald Robinson the former Miss Clara Ann Maguire, accom- panied by her six little girls. Mr. Robinson is on important business in Hollywood visiting Bing Crosby. Here comes Mrs. Robert Lewis now and her Fleet. Mrs. Lewis is the former Dixie West. She now lives in Ohio with her husband Skippy and their five sons. I just got a glimpse of our class red-head, Josephine Tobey. She and her husband have iust closed the deal which gave them the right to live in the Caywood Court House. She is the iudge who tries all the criminals while Johnny sees that the iail is kept spic and span. We see Dolores is still trying to make up her mind as to what her career will be. She is try- ing to decide among dramatics, secretarial, doctoring, nursing, movies, teaching and many others too numerous to mention. At present she is hoofing it at the Copacabana Club chorus third in line from the left. Clarissa has iust come in and she tells us that Bill White finally returned from the seven seas. They expect to be married in the near future. We regret to say that Captain Ray Van Nostrand U. S. Navy, the former husband of Marie Bell, daughter of the famous Admiral Bell is in Reno at this time and will be unavoidably de- tained. They are beginning to call him Tommy Mannville the second. Once again, like all good things, the Alumni Banquet must come to a close. We see that a good time was had by all. flt says here in fine print at the bottom of the page.J BY Dixie West Clarissa Stewart Barbara Bowers Clara Ann Maguire Class of 46 if 25 at

Look! haw did that happen? What is he going to do next, were cries uttered by a spellbound audi- ence when a magician visited school.
