Fr...-.. Class Prophecy Dear Editor of Marsengold of 1954: Last evening the class of '44 held its alumni banquet in Sharon's Waldorf Astoria Hotel on Lake Massapoag. The gathering was presided over by our former class president, jack Reddick, now vice-president of Tobe Deutchmans lack tells us that his concern has enlarged a great deal since he was first employed there. The caterers were Lois Creeley and Virginia Niethold, whose delicious meal brought back poignant memories of the Sharon High's cafeteria. The music was supplied by our one and only boogie woogiev artist, Beg Phillips and his Beet Beeters. His fantastic selections were handled beautifully by his featured vocalist, Miss Ann Bartlett. Her rendition of I Don't Know How He Does It was certainly something. The entertainment consisted of a stage show with myriads of dancing beauties. Heading this illustrious cast were Betty Goldstein and Rita Son1a,' MacDonald, two famous Broadway show girls and former members of our class. No one will ever forget Ritafs exotic interpretation of her now famous 'iscarf dance . The guest speaker of the evening was Kenton Kitterman, noted New York attorney, whose vital message entitled 'iThe Whys and Hows of Spend- ing Moneyn was terrific. Oscar talked for over two hours in his usual fili- bustering manner, and he would probably be haranguing still if someone had not called for a toast. There were many distinguished people at this party, all members of the class of '44 who have succeeded since they left dear old Sharon High. First to catch my eye was Sergeant XVilliam Pratt, handsome in his C. A. P. uniform, who was surrounded by three models, the former Bethel VVeber, Jane Palmer, and Marion Staples. Sarge,' tells us that, having been in the C. A. P. for the last ten years, he just c0uldn't go back to wearing civilian clothes. Asked why, he exclaimed, They don't have any stripes. Directly across from Sergeant Pratt, Florence Einis, noted dramatic and glamour teacher, was conversing with two other pedagogues, Edna Cun- ningham and Catherine McCrath, who, according to reports, are excellent math instructors. Flo says that she was inspired by the success of her glamour class in the senior play to establish a school of her own. We understand that the three lovely models were polished p1'oducts of her Clamour Salon. XVord was received by the Toastmaster that Miss Janet Allen telephoned her regrets from Kalamazoo. She said that, as she was producing and starring in a modernized version of Shakespearian plays, it would be impossible for her to attend. Taking pictures of this distinguished gathering was Earl Mayhofer. president and owner of E. E. Mayhofer Co., nationally known photographers. He says that he runs a dairy as an avocation. Making her usual tardv and dramatic entrance was Jeanne, formerly Derry, who, we found, has followed in her SlSt6l',S footsteps, having attended page twenty-nine
