Prexident 12A Clan Manage lo the 12A'J: I am very grateful that you are going out into a world in which the greatest war in history has ceased. I wish you the greatest measure of happi- ness and success, and I fervently hope you will have the courage to meet the great task of keeping the peace. J To ibe january flax: of 1946: In a few short weeks you will be leaving P. S. duPont High School. When you leave is important, but of far more signihcance is what you are leaving. What have you left with the school? What have been your con- tributions? As a group and as individuals you have left something that be- comes a part of our living school. Some specific contributions? I cannot say. You are also taking something with you. There has been an exchange. Each of you has exchanged with others in this school group experiences, thoughts, kindnesses, deeds, and ideas. Who has protited most? Does it matter so much? It's been grand, living it, hasn't it? Principal. W . Guidance C oumel or, Vi VL-. ffm ' If NL 2 Eiiggif Wi ' 'f Tr Q , xx .

PICKET1' Dean of Girls july 31, 1956 Dear Diary, This is a day that I shall never forget as long as I live. Visiting P. S. cluPont High School for the first time in ten years was almost as wonderful as actually going to classes there again. Whoever thought of having the re- union deserves much credit, because nearly every member of our graduating class turned out, and a grand time was had by all. As I walked in the front door, I found Rosalie Schafer, former vice- president of our class, at the registering table. She looked just as chic as she does in her modeling pictures in Vogue and Mademoiselle magazines. Ioan Stetser was helping Rosalie give out programs. Jonny was one of the discoverers of that new mineral called Evorgsoc, which takes the place of all vitamins. On my way down to the Gym where the ex-president of the class spoke to us, I ran into Shirley jones, Margaret Gross, Phyllis Palmer, Eleanor Schwind, and Ruthe Taylor. They were all still in the uniform of graduate nurses, since they had rushed out to school from hospital duty. Shirley and Phyllis are married now, and Schwinny is engaged. It seems as if it were only yesterday that Shirley was vice-president of Student Council. How time Hies! We all sat down together as Rod Bergstrom called the class to order. Skinny looked the same as ever and right at home. So he should be. He has made a big success of himself as the coach of P. S.'s champion football and basketball teams. ' The first part of the program was devoted to renewing acquaintances. Walking around the room and mingling with the familiar groups, I found our class had been most successful after graduation as well as in school. Only one person wasn't busy chattering away. Only one little Gremlin was by himself in the corner with an enormous law book. Yes, Myron Golin is just finishing his studies to be a lawyer, and he has already been offered a junior partnership in a big criminal law firm in New York City. I wonder if he will pass that examination he has tomorrow on habeas corpus, or something. When Myron seemed to be at the peak of his troubles, he was interrupted by the state's greatest attorney and was offered some help. The District Attorney himself, Clovis Collins, untangled Myron's thoughts and helped him to un- derstand his problem. Clovis has made quite a name for himself as a na- tional expert on law and politics, and he is one of the two senators from Delaware. When I entered school I noticed that there was a horse grazing on our campus. Since I was late and in a hurry, I did not take the time to think much about itg but after seeing Dave Jeandell in the Gym, I understood. There he was with plaid shirt, ten-gallon hat, and. spurs that jingle-jangle- jingle. Dave told me that he now has ten thousand head of cattle on his ranch, the Bar-10-Der. He has steak for breakfast every morning and roast beef for every dinner. For his 579 acres he employs a corps of help amount- ing to thirty persons. Our next reunion is going to be in Nebraska at Dave's ranch. Manny Klein breezed in for a while with his vocalist, Grace Price. The initials M. K. are on the lips of every bobby-soxer. just as we used to idolize Tommy Dorsey, the band of today is Manny Klein, according to the National Band Parade Survey of 1956. Grace sings on the Hit Parade as well as in all the movies that Manny's band makes. Which reminds me - - - remem- ber that song and dance team in M. K.'s last picture? That was McGonigle and Sotis. They were at school today, too, and looking wonderful. We re- membered them in our class as Angeline Sotis and Alice McGonigle. When I commented on Marge Donovan's stunning fall outfit, she told me she had worn it when she posed for the cover of this week's Life magazine. And you would never guess who designed that gorgeous suit! Marge showed me the label - - - B.j.B. - - - Betty Jane Bryce! Betty blushingly admitted her accomplishment, and said not to tell anyone yet, but it was jean Denn who took the photograph of Marge for Life. After I had congratulated the three of them on such grand work, Jean told me that she was also working on some secret government pictures on the use of atomic energy to fly planes, to heat buildings, and to pluck a typewriter. I wouldn't have believed it possible ten years ago! Q By the time Rod got us all seated again, Deborah Wolson had arrived, prepared to talk to us about the work she has been doing for the past five years. She's a social worker and has traveled all over the world working with all kinds of people. Her talk was extremely interesting, and Debby is a famous lady now. At one end of the Gym the well-known Smith, portrait painter, commer- cial artist, and illustrator, had a special exhibit at the request of the members of our class. Besides having a position with the Saturday Evening Post as art editor, Emory has made his name famous with his free-lance work. Sam Cramer and Shirley Roberts were there, too. They have just published their first book, called Illustration and the Arts. Barbara Bell opened her own advertising agency here in Wilmington a few years ago and already has three branch offices in Boston, San Diego, and West Chester. CI can dream, can't I j From the Gym, we went to the auditorium, where we saw movies taken of modern ofiice management in Wilmington. We saw many of our former classmates in the picture. A number of the pictures were taken at Wrightco, 'F the nationally known fire and insurance firm. The founder and president is, of course, Robert Wright. Monk's own private secretary was shown - - - you remember Betty Goold. In the library of Monk's company was Winifred Perry as chief librariang and Shirley McCabe, Lois Gears, Bette Heinzeroth, Kathleen O'Kane, and Beatrice Oldham were typing away in the agency department. The scene then switched to Buddiscorp, which is a district newspaper com- pany, whose offices are also in this city. The successful president was shown as Stanley Budner, and Anna Mason and Arline Jacobs were snapped while in conference with Stan. Anna is the editor of the Women's Page and So- ciety News, and Arline is the assistant chief reporter at the News-Journal Com- pany. Out in the stenographers' and typists' room were Janice McCabe, Re- ba Ezraelson, Ida Mae Eggler, Susanne Cole and Winifred Pace grinding over adding machines and typewriters. The movie ended at Fisher's Wearing Apparel Store, where Jeanne Mana- han, head buyer, was explaining to Marjorie Senn how she must fill out her orders and requisitions. After the show, all the people who were in the film were asked to stand up so that we might see if they were all in our midst, and, sure enough, no on was missing. Some of the people had to get back to their work then, so to us who could stay, they said good-bye until' the next time. Francis Wallace, whose airport was the nrst in Wilmington to be remodeled so that it could have regu- lar use of jet-propelled planes and helicopters, felt that he had to get out to the field. Since the weather was so good, all the pilots were testing radar- equipped planes, and the office had to be kept alive by some one. Frank Hor- ner's train, The Translucent City of Plastic, was to leave for St. Louis in a half hour, so he had to depart. Squeeky started as bat boy for the Phila- delphia Phillies but now he is on his way to play in an All-Star Exhibition game representing the Brooklyn Dodgers, World Series Champions for the six years previous to this. Since we left our school, a swimming pool has been built in the base- ment. The architect for the project was Millard Handleman, and he showed us how the water goes in and out of the pool and the way the pool is cleaned and repaired. The engineers were the same for our pool as for the new and famous University of Wilmington and the luxurious Colgate Estate. Edwin Scotton and Edward Green were our classmates, and they are now famous all over eastern United States for their excellent contracting and engineering cor- poration. The Colgate mansion, owned by Richard Colgate, wealthy tooth- paste heir, is situated north of Wilmington and covers over one hundred acres of land. After the pool excursion, we'visited the infirmary to see the new X-ray machine that was permanently installed there under the able supervision of John C. Bradford, Jr., M. D., medical officer of the schools of the State of Delaware. The school nurse, Beverly Gehman, was a member of our class, too, National Association of Medical Education, Bev was elected president of the School Doctors' Division. Two of our members belong to the secretarial div- ision of this organization. They are Joyce Dayton, who works in Dr. Brad- ford's office, and Jane Laird, who is Dr. Muir's secretary. We left the infirmary to see the brand new kitchen of the cafeteria and the Home Economics Department. There are no more Victory lunches, but Elsie Zutz, head dietician, has devised a kind of budget lunch that has been copied in schools all over the United States. The head of the Home Ec de- partment of P. S. , Shirley Starr, showed us around the completely remodeled sewing and cooking rooms which she designed herself. Chatting with Rose- marie Curran was Virginia Wood, president of the School of Household Arts at the University of Delaware. Rosemarie is now principal of one of the grade schools here. We all went down to the lobby, where we had formerly spent so many jabbering minutes. Just as we were ready to shut up shop, in walked His Honor the Mayor, the richest man in town. He is still the same, because he is still Dick Garber. Dick was looking for Richie Williams, who owns the largest wholesale pharmaceutical house in Delaware and is the only phar- macist in the East who, because of his extraordinary accuracy, can handle any chemical he chooses without special permission of the district governor for each use. The mayor could only find Richie's chief assistant, Eleanor Marvel. Eleanor works with Janet Todd and Nancy Keen out at Williams Labs' just outside of Wilmington. Janet was the chemist who developed a form of atomic energy which can be handled by the layman. She won the Nobel Prize for her work in 1954. Nancy told us where Richie had disappeared. It seems that on this very day Barbara White was being married in the chapel at Annapolis, Maryland, and Richie stole away from his work and from our reunion to see the wedding. Merle Minges and Bob Shockley came in then with Susi Goldey and Bob Levine. This quartet had witnessed and partici- pated in the nuptials, and they said Bobbie made a lovely bride for her handsome vice-admiral. Neither Barbara Ford nor Betty Hollyday could attend this marvelous gathering, as they were busy with their families. Barb had given her chil- dren's governess, Marie Walter, the afternoon off so that she could be here. I found out at the party that there is a new chemical experimental sta- tion which has put the old and established firms out of business. The Ful- mer Corporation is rapidly spreading its laboratories all over the country, and its founder, Richard Fulmer, has acquired world fame for his revolutionary work in the field of science. And so, dear Diary, having seen my friends after so many years, I close for today with regret that I did not take full advantage of all the privileges offered me during the best part of my life - - - high school! and she is very pleased with this new apparatus.
