The Junior play was the hit of the year. For the first time a mystery was given and found to be a great success, and our hats off to its participants. The colorful Halloween party and St. Patrick’s Dance added momentum to the year, while the Junior-Senior Prom brought cheers from all who attended. , 20

There gloom the dark, broad seas. secretary to the mayor of Conneaut, and is hard at work on a set of simplified shorthand forms. The mayor, whom I knew back in ’41, Clarence Hall, has the distinction of being the youngest mayor in this section of the country. He is also known as “rapid-transit” Hall, due to his method of getting revolutionary measures passed in the city council. Two out of the graduating class of 1941 are in Hollywood. Roy Frank is a studio technician making radios on the side. His expert handling of the sound effects for our senior assembly was an able recommendation for him. Jack Maki, currently known as Gable Tyrone, is a movie star, and is dazzling the girls on the set with his curly blonde hair, just as he used to dazzle the senior girls ’way back in ’41. Joyce Holdson and Vaughn Herbel have collaborated on a book called “How to Quarrel Effectively,” and again I remembered the fights they used to have back in 207. Joyce is still looking for the perfect man and as a result, is still unmarried. Flora Langdon has made a name for herself in New York, designing dresses and is now nationally known as “Madame Flour-ette.” Mae Lawrence is her most famous model, and has won recognition by being the only model who doesn’t eat Ry-Crisp or drink Welch’s Grape Juice. Tom Schlaich has won the Nobel Prize in Science and is now professor at Harvard; John Liimataine is posing for Charles Atlas ads and coaches a 'boxing team at the Y. M. C. A. on the side; Adolph Kultti has perfected an automatic seat adjuster for lowering seats in sociology classes when one is unprepared; Sylvia Sivak and Fran-cina Seibert are now successful dramatic actresses on the stage and are appearing currently in “Amboy Epic”, a sequel to “The Philadelphia Story.” Elizabeth Herman, Elsie Shultz and Ina Orrenmaa are the founders of the “Anti-Giggle League,” and are flooding the markets with pamphlets on “How to Be 111 at Ease Without Giggling.” Joe Dickey is a successful salesman for Oldsmobiles and dashes around thither and yon in his ’41 making frantic calls on prospective customers. Ed Powell, our class lawyer back in ’41 has made that his permanent profession, and is now a national figure due to his successful proof that the Died Scott decision was unconstitutional. Marjorie Montgomery and Pauline Ring have made their fortunes selling insurance. Marjorie drives and Pauline sells. The speaker we had in Vocational Guidance class back in ’41 really set them to thinking. Shirley Alstrom, Robert Glenn and Barbara Blakeslee are taking post graduate courses at Rowe, but they spend their time passing five and ten minute tests at two bits each for disgruntled second year typists. Betty Bartlett's classic profile is gracing Redbook covers regularly and she spends her leisure moments carrying books on her head to acquire poise; Lynn Chapman, John Joslin, Otis Osborne and Leonard Kuhn are all established members of the Arthur Murray Dance School. They have jointly invented a new dance step known as the “Slinky Slip,” which has taken the country by storm. Edward Titus has just been named champion squirrel shooter of the world. Raymond Kostura has printed an English literature textbook with supplements of Greek tragedies in the back of it. This text is widely used in Rowe High, where Ray studied loud and long on these same subjects. Viola Kultti is still collecting money for various enterprises, but she seems to have centered her activities as a social worker on going from house to house getting contributions for the “Help Our Helpless Felines” fund. Mary Best has realized her ambition at last, and is now head of a home for foundling guinea pigs, whom she nurses tenderly and rents out to the scientific research laboratory. Viola Curtis has become affiliated with the “Curtis Candy Company” and has bought out the Senior class of 1951, who are now forced to rely on a special laundry delivery service to provide them with the finances for the annual Senior trip. As Jack finished this last bit of news, I glanced at my watch, and my eyes widened with horror. It was 4:30 and I had to drive all the way back to Amboy before 6! I hastily gathered my belongings together and sped, thinking as I went, “No sir, the old town hasn’t changed a bit.” Georgia McElroy

To bring money into the treasury they conducted three bake sales, collected sales stamps and sold basketball banners at the opening of the season. The officers elected to guide them through their efforts were Robert Holdson, president; Paul Whipple, vice president; Ruth Scully, secretary, and Mildred Turner, treasurer. N S s Vs ssssssssss® 21
