Dick: No, but I understand she is private secretary to the Chinese Ambassador in Washington. Helen finds no one can tell the difference between her short hand and the Chinese characters so she writes in shorthand and then reads it in Chinese. Mr. H.: Well, well, what do you know about that. I wonder what ever became of Tony Malnati. Dick: Tony ' s still a bachelor with a veterinarian degree. You know how Tony never had much to do with our fair damsels at school. They say he is just great on all the ail- ments of old maids ' cats. Mr. H.: Could be. Could be. Well, this little conversation sure brings back a lot of old memories. I sure have learned a lot today. Great Governor. It ' s 10 minutes past 12 now, and I promised my wife I would have the hamburg home for lunch. Let ' s see, you can give me 4 lbs. of hamburg and some of everything in the lc Sale. Dick: Give. You mean sell. Mr. H.: Same old Armstrong. T T P

Class Prophecy Time: September 1, 1957. Place: Sheffield Center, opposite Ford ' s Garage. Setting: A new building has been erected. It is opening day and a large lc Sale pre- vails. Mr. Hartley, who is always looking for a bargain, enters the new store. Behind the counter stands a familiar looking chap with a butch haircut and shatter-proof glasses, practically in pieces. Mr. Hartley walks up and shakes his hand. Mr. Hartley: I haven ' t seen you in a dog ' s age. Now let me see, you were the Class of 1947, weren ' t you? Haven ' t seen hide nor hair of that class since their graduation. What has become of them? Dick A: I know what most of them are doing. There were six of us in that over-intelli- gent super-human class — Sis Cassidy, Marian Rote, Helen Martin, May Pixley, (Tony) Malnati, and myself. Mr. H: Yes, that sure was a humdinger of a class. I ' ll never forget all the trouble they gave me. Let ' s start with you, Dick, what did you do after you left S.H.S.? D. A.: Oh, I went to Berkshire for a couple of years, came out of there and kicked around from store to store. I finally became General Business Manager of Hookum Sckoo- cum Co. Chain Stores. You see, that wasn ' t big enough for me so — I heard that my old boss, Francis Q. Kersey was trying to sell his business. So Jimmie Ware and I bought him out. Mr. H.: Well, Dick, I think that you have made a wonderful decision and I see you have enlarged the building. What about your social life, are you married? Dick A.: Of course, I met up with a cute little chicken about six years ago and we got hooked. I ' ve only got four youngsters though. Mr. H.: Whew! What about Marian Rote, what ever happened to her? Dick A.: After graduation Marian continued her telephone operating in Sheffield. She continued loafing there for four or five years and finally was transferred to a main office in New York City, becoming chief operator and was doing well when along came a cowboy from Texas. She turned her switch board in for a buckboard and has settled down in Texas. I understand that Marian does most of the bronco busting. Mr. H.: That sure is a bumpy life. I never thought she would turn to ranching. Where is Mary Pixley? Dick: Oh. Mary, to hold up the reputation of the class and keep things a-popping, was married to Freddie on the Fourth of July following graduation, and did that hope chest come in handy with all those kids to use the dish towels. Mr. H.: My, oh, my. I certainly lost track of that class. Do you happen to know where Sis is? Dick: Well, I never thought Sis was the marrying type but she proved out differently. She married Bob soon after her graduation from S.H.S. and they have been trotting around all over the country. You know, I heard the other day that they were trying to buy the F-2 Milk Bar. Sis always had her eye on that place anyway. Mr. H.: And Helen? Have you seen Helen lately?
