An incidental item which caught his eye read Miss Catherine Parker, noted educator, has just been appointed Superintendent of the Boston Public School System. With this item, Mr. Clark next turned to the comic page and seeing that, naturally, none of the class of '45 was on that page, he breathed a heavy sigh of relief and settled down really to enjoy the paper the would have been smarter if he had started with the comics the way most of us dol, only to be interrupted by the familiar call of Soup's On!

award for her brilliant rendition of The Diminuendo in Q flat Minor, and Mr. Vitali, conductor and featured soloist of the N.B.C. CNational Biscuit Co., Symphony Orchestra, received his award for his brilliant interpretations of Tchaikowsky and Cole Porter Qusually rolled into onej. The awards in art were given to Miss Joanne Pratt and Miss Dorothy Gregory, whose modernistic paintings have stupified all art critics even the painters themselves. Miss Pratt, explaining her inspiration, stated, 'I entered my studio late one night and in hunting for the light switch, knocked the easel into the paint. When I turned on the light, there was my masterpiecem NEW ENGLAND SECRETARIES' CONVENTION MEETS IN BOSTOND was the next headline to catch Mr. Clark's eye. Secretaries from New England's largest corporations convened in the Hotel Statler. Most of the bosses accompanied them to keep the meeting in order. Some well- known personalities present were William Holway, President, Vice-president, Treasurer, and General Manager of Holway Publishing Co., and his beautiful secretary, Miss Patricia Rogers, Henry LeGare, leading toy manufacturer with his two secretaries, Miss Anna Krager and Miss Claire Dennen. Miss Marion Durkee and Miss Lucy Capen were accompanied by their employers Mr. John Butler and Mr. Arthur Carroll, respectively. kMr. Butler is President of Butler's Bells Incorporated. He has come a long way from his backstage bell-ringing in the 1945 Senior Play. Mr. Carroll is one of the nation's lead- ing gun manufacturers. Miss Aurora Calla regretted that her employer was unable to come, but she apologized for him by saying, 'Miz Woolworth is busy vacationing in California., Principal speakers of the evening were: Mr. Edward Butler, leading basketball coach, who spoke on organizing athletics in large factories. iYou can't work all the time,' he argued. Mr. Richard Sloggett spoke on the post-war work of the Merchant Marine, and Lt. Col. john MacDonald, graduate of West Point, explained the part that the United States Army was playing in policing the Post-War world. Turning to the society page, Mr. Clark noticed the marriage of Miss Ruth Fader. Theres one romance that sprouted right out of high schoolf' thought Mr. Clark as he turned to the entertainment page. The headlines immediately attracted him and he read, ALL STAR VARIETY SHOW PRE- SENTED AT SYMPHONY HALL. The main attraction was Bob Noyes, his saxophone, and orchestra. Bob acted as master of ceremonies and intro- duced such talent from his organization as Bob 'Stump' Davis, whose trumpet rendition of Hot Lips Boogie Woogie was out of this world. Guitarist Dick Bolan played a solo on his newest invention, a stringless guitar. When asked backstage how he happened to invent the instrument, Dick replied, 'It,s easier to playl' One of the outstanding selections played by the orchestra was Anne Stoneis hit tune Ugo Your Way and l'll Sec You in Canton. Two brilliant acts were Jean O,Donnell's superb dancing and Miss Betty Pineo's miniature ice revue which nearly stopped the show. Another outstanding group was the choir of Ardis Scott and 'the Fellas' who specialized in carol singingf, Mr. Clark next turned to the sports page where he noticed that Daniel Field and Leo Fitzpatrick had just been sold to the Boston Red Sox. On the financial page, Mr. Clark learned that Mr. Charles Lindberg had just gained the controlling stock of Bird- and Son. page lwcnly-six
