M. P. Yes. We write to each other frequently. She married a high school boy friend after completing her five-year nursing course in college. I ' m looking forward to seeing her as soon as I get some more time off. J. B. Have you heard what Sara Woodbeck is doing now? M. P. That last time 1 heard from her she had taken a position as head nurse of the children ' s ward at the Pittsfield General Hospital. J. B. Speaking of nurses, Jo Ann Clark is a child nurse in Springfield. She is very happy there with her three children. M. P. Whom did she marry? J. B. She married an up and coming poet. His work is beginning to be published in some of the leading magazines. M. P. It sounds like he and Jo Ann have a lot in common. Have you heard from Dora Warren and Alice Straleau? J.B. After thev were graduated from BU, Dora went to California to teach music at USC. She is married to a professor of psychology. Alice keeps pretty busy as a mother of two children and as a history teacher at Searles. Barbara Huggins has her hands full, too. M. P. I understand she is the mother of a pair of twins with red hair. J.B. They ' re the cutest things you ever saw. She married a French diplomat and they live in Washington, D. C. M. P. Do any members of our class still live in Sheffield? J. B. Charles Cane does. He operates a rest home on Bow- Wow Road. Richard Cartin- elli lives in Sheffield, too. He ' s a photographer. He does all the pictures for Regional ' s yearbook. M. P. I saw Francis Zucco yesterday. He told me that he took over Ford ' s garage when the former owner retired. He said he was thinking of running for town constable. J.B. That ' s not surprising, is it? M. P. No, not at all. J. B. He and Frank Smith both have thriving businesses.

Class Prophecy Time: 1964 Place: Wendy ' s Restaurant, Canaan, Conn. A young woman is seated at a table in Wendy ' s Restaurant, (formerly Johnny ' s) Canaan, Conn. She is drinking a cup of coffee, and looking up, sees an old friend and classmate. J. B. Well! Margaret Preiss! Imagine seeing you here after all these years! Where have you been keeping yourself? M.P. Oh, I ' ve been living in Boston since I graduated from secretarial school there. I ' m a court reporter, now, so I don ' t get home as often as I ' d like to. How about you? Are you still living in the good old town? J. B. Well, after graduation, I got a job as secretary to Dr. Brown, in Great Barrington, but as I plan to be married next month, I won ' t be working there any more. M. P. That ' s wonderful. By the way, is Carolann Olsen married, yet? J. B. Oh, yes. She worked as a telephone operator here in Canaan for a while, but she married her army sweetheart soon after, and now they live in Texas with their two little boys. M. P. Remember the good times we used to have here, especially after play rehearsals? J. B. It was fun. I sure miss it. Did you know that Wendell Bartholomew owns this place now? M. P. Does he really? I wonder if he ' s around. I ' d like to see h im. J. B. I doubt it. He ' s still a bachelor, and he ' s probably out looking over some pros- pects. M. P. No kidding. I thought some lucky girl would grab him as soon as he got out of high school. J. B. Guess they didn ' t have a chance. He kept pretty busy at business school - no time for girls. M. P. I see. J. B. Incidently, have you heard from Laura Malnati, lately?

M. P. That sign across the street says Kenny ' s Auto Repair Service. Could that be our classmate, Kenneth Coon? J. B. Not could be, it is. M. P. Say, did anyone in our class join the armed services? J. B. Herbie Eichstedt did, right after graduation. He is a civilian now, though, and he owns a sugar plantation in the Philippines. M. P. Imagine that! Remember how Horace Tatspaugh always said he wanted to be a bum? You should see him now. He is an electrical engineer in Detroit. He lives there with the home town girl he married, and their four children. Richard LeGeyt lives in New York. He went there to go to an agricultural school, but I guess he changed his mind about being a farmer. J. B. I know. He is president of the ASPCA. M. P. I always thought he would be a farmer. J. B. I did, too. Wesley Petersen is a farmer, though. He married a local girl and is raising quite a family. Up to date he has three girls and two boys. M. P. Joyce, do you know the whereabouts of Donald Percy? J. B. Well, Donny is a landscape r. He lives in Virginia with his wife and two little girls. M. P. The class of ' 54 traveled far and wide, didn ' t it? J. B. I ' ll say. Well, I ' ve got to be traveling, too. M. P. It was nice seeing you again and having this little chat. J. B. Sure was! I ' ll see you again, Margaret. M. P. O. K. Good-bye and good luck.
