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.
