wizard Fred Riley, who is now trying to buy out Thomas O,Connell's doll market. Tom started his career in Rossie demonstrating Red Cross gifts. Also present at the above weighty conference were Vincent Fischer and Donald Costello who control the printing and selling of all tickets for Boston sports events. As for our class artist, Marjorie Ball, she is traveling the country putting on exhibitions of her widely known works of art. For every one of Marjorie's Surrealist paintings, Martha Brooker has written an interpretative sonnet. Powers Models have nothing on the Donovan Models, Jack has a pleasant business there. Modeling the Up-to-Date Styles for Ladies are Florence Pow, Patricia Lennon. and Jean Ledwell. WVith Alberta Stein, still possessing that debutante slouch, are Julia Ferguson, Adelaide Edmunds. and Jeanne Kilday who model the coming fashions for S'Debs . Although not one of the Donovan Models, Jeanne Farrenlcoff is promi- nent in the fashion world. She demonstrates the latest fads in hair styles. Only Jeannels pretty red hair can do justice to them. Dorothy Strain and Patricia Roberts are touring the world as foreign correspondents. To their surprise they met Mary Kerrigan while on an as- signment in Siberia. She has been doing wonderful work in improving living conditions among the natives there. After studying for years as Rhodes Scholars, Bruce Morrison and Francis McCarthy are now ready to start their careers. Bruce has received a degree in English, and Francis is known as an expert on the Spanish language. Mary McNarnee and Barbara Travers have become Flying jenniesu for the American Air Lines. However. they started on a flight from Boston to New York on one trip, got lost in a fog in Connecticut, and landed in Boston! Also up in the air of our post-war world are pilots Donald Kidderis, David Holleran, and Donald Allen. It really takes a skillful navigator to at- tempt a flight over Boston and to dodge those aces! Rita Kenney has gone into the bakery business. She was soundly re- primanded the other day by Mary Kinsella, head of the Rationing Board. when she put too much sugar in her biscuits. In her spare moments as pharmacist, Jean Gardner is still mixing extra delicious sundaes and sodas. She's had loads of practice, so they should be 'gsuperi' by this time. The present postmasters of the Roslindale and Hyde Park Districts are Jim Cunningham and Bill Garvey. They got their start in the Christmas mail rush of '44-remember? Managing the Roll-Away Skating Rink are Mary Paglico and Anna Les-ha. Their magnetic slogan is g'Learn to Skate if You VVant a Date . Night after night Mary and Anna whirl 'round and 'round instructing novices in the graceful art. Speaking of whirling, is our tedious attempt to prognosticate your bril- liant futures beginning to make you dizzy, too? Perhaps we had better return to Cassandra her power of prophecy.- So, we leave you-no longer prophets but merely Eleanor Sittig Virginia McCoy Janet Farrell Alfred Broadhurst page twenty-fue

XVithout doubt, there is certainly going to be an aching group of girls at the schools where Virginia Merrill, Geraldine Lynch, and Geraldine Kellelier teach physical education. XVe can hear the groans now in rhythm Wm. that - UP - 2-3-4, BEND - 2-:3-4. ' Genera Clzrislie, Eleanor Dorfloni, Barbara Iolznsan, Muriel Fran: and Mary Lou Boyle are teaching English to high school pupils. They must really have a way with their students. The latter are always browsing over books in the library where Marie Danogluie and Barlzara Caldwell are in full charge. Gertrude Ilanipe is a steady customer at the library. She is the Adviser at Colby College, you know. Marilyn Mahoney is instructing children in the lower grades, and Doris Jackson certainly has her hands full with her active kindergarten class. Marie T.

NIarie's sister and constant companion is still with her. Callierine takes care of the secretarial end of this Lost and Found Department. Claire Corlro is teaching Latin now.

Connelly has been teaching society women how to crochet- with or without a hook! Speaking of hooks, do not get involved in any way with the law because there will be a couple of shrewd men waiting to get you. The judge of the highest state court is Torn Stanton and the prosecuting attorney is Roland Driscoll. These gentlemen would be a hard duo to convince of one's innocence. The most recent case brought before Justice Stanton was that of the State versus Moylan, in which the Moylan Laundry Co. was accused of break- ing the buttons from State Senator Tlionias Neefs very exclusive shirts. As usual, Prosecutor Driscoll so brilliantly influenced for bribedl the jury that the verdict was speedily given, declaring Moylan guilty. At a recent meeting of big business magnates, there were many familiar faces. Among them was joe Gillis, now owner of a successful retail store. joe often looks back on his days as a humble stock-boy at the Elm Farm.
