18 1940 YEAR BOOK is definitely not growing old gracefully. Elizabeth Eerguson has followed an art career. After studying abroad for three } ears, she was offered the position of Direc- tress in nine of the most outstanding art schools. Her most famous work can be seen here and abroad in the largest museums of modern art. Chester Stern, a most distinguished statesman, has recently been appointed ambassador to Bear Island off the Northern coast of Siberia. Because of misconstrued relations, our gracious IMr. Stern was transferred as Envoy to Pitcairn Island in the South Seas. If you think Irving French is a good skier you should see Bill IMann. After capturing eighty cups for salcming, he turned professional. Bill wanted to be sure of his ability first. Virginia Simonis astounds me. You know, Mary, she went on with her stenog- raphic work. Her casual speed is l5l in typing and a restful shorthand rate of a mere 203 words a minute. “Ginnie” has claimed so many awards she is commonly called the feminine Gleen Cunningham in national competitive tests. Emily Snow, the best-dressed woman in America, has wardrobe designing contracts with Warner Brothers, i I. G. IM. and Paramount. Speaking of the movies Ted Rockett, a rookie for the Red Sox, is trying to make up his mind whether to continue in baseball or to sign up with M. G. M., who have been trying to get him to come to Hollywood for months. At present he’s a little for Hollywood as Ann IMullen, the foreign war correspondent wTo has just returned from England Is staying there. Ann is stil footloose and fancy free and having a wonderful time breaking records in whatever she does and hearts wherever she goes. You just have to read the papers to find out about Ann. Oh, by the way, wait till I tell tou about Cynthia Allman. She just returned from the Olympics. I understand she has a man from ever) country, but is still looking for a little guy wth glasses and a Harvard haircut. I guess she doesn’t get along well with “foreigners.” William Melcher is a pilot and flying daily from NeAV York to London. He is undoubtedly Trans-Oceanic’s most capable pilot and will no doubt soon own the company. Bill has 40,000,000 flying miles Avithout a loss of life to his credit. Mozelle Canada is doing social service AA ork now, and is doing a great deal for her clients. (But, IMary, have you heard the scandal about Marilyn and Warren Boyce. It’s simply terrible. After many years, this crafty pair ha ' e been caught “red handed” by the New York police. They have been charged Avith selling underweight packages of tooth picks. Well, Mary dear, it’s been just to divine seeing you again. I’m sorry I must rush off but I’ve got to put Junior to bed. Do come doAvn and see us real soon — betAA ' een all your stage successes.” “Good-bye, Shirley — give my regards to Bob.” L.
