Business is good the men say. Herb evidently hasn't found the right girl yet: or if he was, she refused. Well, here's Joan Green Stevens. She married a fellow named Bruce Stevens who entered the Air Corps, as a pvt. and came out a Captain. I remember Joan and Anne were co-editors of the school year book, The Aqu'llo . When their palper, The Ricker Reporter ,iwas published, I saw scripts from My Advice to the Lovelorn handbook-t1hat's why I remember them. Joan has been married since 1950 and has two children, a boy David, and a girl Nicky. Her husband manufactures rocket planes ln California. Mrs. Stevens tells me that Clarice Mc- Brine, Margaret Willette, Melva Day, Betty Hutchinson, and Evelyn Williams are secretaries in her husband's rocket plant. Melva and Clarice are married, and their hu-sbands are foremen at the plant. Anna Rugan wasn't able to co-me because she has to be at the restaurant. You prob- ably remember it. It used to be the Tally Ho, but Anna has changed its name to, The Red Rocket. Anna manages the restaurant very well, and has Louise Clark helping her. They have two chefs-Roy Ingraham and Kenneth Mclver. The food is really delicious. Well, Hi! Mooseepardon me, Frances how are you? That's good. You look as healthy as ever. You say you're teaching at Rlcker? I heard some such rumor. You're Mr. Bither's History Assistant, aren't you? Yes, I thought so. You were in the Waves during the war weren't you, Frances? Yes, I heard you were the only woman ever to be decorated with the Congressional Medal of Honor. You sank a Jap submarine single handed from San Francisco shore, didn't you? I thought so-you're a very brave woman. Thelma Drake was there in San Francisco too was she--in the Waves? I didn't know that. She's home now with her husband. Mattie Horsman is right beside Frances folks. How's it feel to be a heros wife, Mattie? As you know, Mattie married Bob Thompson who was the man that lived a- lone on a life raft for 23 days and came home alive. These Navy Men, My, My! 1Sylvia Brooker is now married to Tom McLaughlin and is working as Secretary in place of Lib Putnam. lletty McBride is in Miss 'I'aplcy's posi- tion at Ricker and is head of the commer- cial department. Shirley Morris Chalou is sitting right be- tween Betty and Sylvia and was telling me about her job. She and Adne are married and Shirley has a job in Hartford in a ribbon factory. She makes hair ribbons. Finally-here is Rod Carmichael! How are you Rod? You look fine. Rod tells me he has been farming, but since Anita is working in New York, he took a job as a salesman at Macy's for awhile. I guess this winds up tfhe class of '45 and so we leave you, Ricker graduates of '45 to go to visit the class of 1944's table. More power to all of you and may you all as- semble like this again and have all your classmates present. Oh! I meant to tell you people before, but l'll tell you now while I think of it-I was in New York last week and I saw Life with Father which stars that won- derful actress, and your old classmate Dorothy Sweet. Her name is Mrs. Robert Maxell now. Robert is a very successful playwright and producer. They seem ex- ceedingly happy. I also saw Jack Hillman and Jr. Tingley, those two playboys. They still haven't settled down. Jr. has abeauti- ful new car now. They both made money in mining jade. in Wyoming. They're in New York most of the time. Well, well, hello Mervin. There's Mervin Klein, who is considered the 9 th wonder of the world and the second Tommy Man- ville. In the past 10 years Mervin has been married five times. He always was rather a wolf, if I remember correctly. Betty Hanning and Ruth Hagan are run- ning a private school for girls of high school age. Betty is a nurse now and puts her knowledge to good use among the stu- dents. Ruth has always wanted to teach. Now she does more than teach: she has a school of her own. Barbara Simms Tib- betts is head of the Commercial Dept. Yes, Barbara finally married Sterling and he is in New York too-as head of the flying school. They live at Riverside Drive. Anita Plourde Carmichael is head of the English Dept. and Dean of girls. Anita has been married twice, but her first husband was killed in a rocket crash about 3 years ago. Her second husband is Rod Carmichael, a member of the class of '45. Anita has the
