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
