Anna: I suppose you knew before I , that Joyce married right after graduation to her old time sweetheart. Ilamay: Joyce was ready to settle down while we were still in school. She is very happy and is convinced that her choosen career is the best Anna: Speaking of settling down, Jack Rosier has quite a thriving enterprise. He is the president, treasurer, and secretary of %he International Lonely Heart ' s Club; and not as most people expected, re- presentative to Congress. Ilamay: That tops all-=goodness — I guess I had better be getting home — supper to prepare. But I enjoyed showing you our new school. Anna: I am amazed at our new school — what changes a few years have brought. It is wonderful to know our future youth will get the best in education. A SENIOR ' S FAREWELL Four happy years have drawn to a close. Our work has just begun. But from the foundation of its training, Steps the class of ' 51. In leaving our teachers and our friends, We hope for but one condition, We sinceTely hope that for years to come, They ' ll fulfill the Sheffield tradition.

And now, as we come to these closing hours, With memories and tears as well, We bid goodbye to the school we have loved. Classmates and teachers — Farewell! 25 v.,.

Anna: Numbers and figures always appealed to him, ' Have you heard from Jenny Johnson lately? Just what did she do after graduation? Ilamay: Oh! She is living in Virginia now. She ' s a famous magazine artist for Glamour. Anna: Remember how she used to sketch us in class? In her last letter she told me that she was drawing caricatures of all the members of our class which she intends to mail us soon now. Most of the members in the class have very prominent features! Ilamay: That would be rather ludicrous. But say, let me show you the Home Economics department we ' ve got , When girls leave here, they certainly can go into housekeeping knowing what side of the skillet to hold their hand on. Rose Zamperini, you must have heard, is married and owns her own beauty parlor--keeps her busy from morning to night — how she would have benefitted by this department, although she could bake a good cake aaytime Anna: Yes, I should think so. After I arrived home, one of my first stops was to visit Rose, She invited me to a free hair do . Oh boy, when I return to camp I can knock them all dead with a new look, Ilamay: Speaking of new looks, did you notice the new lumber company in town? Anna: Oh yes, Smith Brothers, Has that just been built? It wouldn ' t be owned by our old friend Smitty would it? Ilamay: Yes, Bob took up carpenter training when he left here, and now he and Frank own their own business. Anna: I noticed as we walked through the corridor that we just passed the woodworking shop for boys. That certainly is beneficial to the boys that plan to go into that line of work when they graduate, Ilamay: Gee, there is so much to show you I ' m afraid we are going to have to leave some things out. But before we leave I must show you the new Typing lab, Claire Pezzatti thought a lot of it when she visited us last-- same old kid, Anna: Oh really, what is Claire doing now that she became the secretary she always wanted to be? Ilamay: Right now she is a private Secretary to the President of G. Foxes. She probably will be an executive there one of these days. Anna: If she was in the army, she would be a General with the ability that she has. Speaking of the army, guess who I met where I am stationed-- Robert Curtiss. Ilamay: Bob! I thought you wouldn ' t be lonesome, What is he doing down there? Anna: He joined the Air Force right after graduation and became a radio man. As a radio operator, he uses his typing ability constantly, Ilamay: A flying radio man! That must be exciting--Anna , through that east window--you can see Joyce Funk ' s new home. 24
