SENIOR CLASS PROPI-IECY Painted Post, New York June 26, l962 Dear Pat, It sure seemed good to hear from you after twenty years of wondering how you were managing with your tour. Mr. Roosevelt certainly knew what he was doing when he asked you to give your readings throughout Europe. They have contributed much toward building up the morale of the people after that dreadful war. Did you remember this was the year we Seniors of '42 set for our cli1SS reunion? l guess you and jimmy Fuller were the only ones absent. l imagine you're curious to know what life has done for your old school mates, so I'1l tell you a bit about each. l wish you could have seen Einstein McAllister. Do you know it was he who invented that underwater pyrex glass Chamber for refuelling subs and quartering crews?

Mildred Lewis is quite a sensation on Broadway, appearing last week in her sixteenth hit, Home for Dinner or Who Stole the Pudd'in'? Ruth Mayer, Phyllis Northway, Margaret Keach and Erma Warren opened a beauty salon on Fifth Avenue in New York. Have you tried any of their treatments? They're simply marvelous. The girls invented bread crusts that make your hair curly and a new type vainshing cream for the homely girl, which changes her face entirelye--in fact the face disappears. Wally Brown has revolutionized the dental industry, He can stop any type of aching tooth. He touches a needle to the tooth and--bingo!!-the needle disappears, causing the gum to ache so badly one forgets the paining tooth. Marjorie Blank has become a noted authoress, Perhaps you've read her latest book, The Affairs of David , which is a biography of the great Dave Hovey. Dave is the present governor of New York State and likely candidate for the presidency at the next election. Catherine Anderson went to Hollywood as Robertus l-lawley's secretary. fl forgot to mention Robertus is the former Roberta Hawley.
