enior ass Qnroplzecy Dear Pop, XVe have just completed our trip around the United States gathering news. of our classmates of 1950, and thought you would like to know what everyone has been doing. VVe left the airport at Montreal on May 25, 1955 and landed in Boston a few hours later. W'hi1c we were having lunch at the Statler, who should we see but Mary van Sand- ford and ,lohnny with their four children. Their children were adorable, and seemed extremely intelligentg but what can one expect after having graduated from ,foan Tit1ey's nursey school. We decided to run over to .loans and were happy to see that she had made such wonderful progress. lfler children were in such good health, which was a great tribute to her nurse, janet llell, who could do anything from removing splinters to appendix. XN'e spent the night in Boston and the next morning saw Donna Davis. She is married now and is very happy. She rushes home from work every night to fix her hus- band some dinner, but always ends up by calling Mary Van to come to the rescue when her cake falls through the oven or the soup boils over. Before long we were winging our way to Connecticut. VYe stopped in Hartford and while walking down the street we saw a huge sign saying Kel1er's Automatic Laundry. XM: went inside and saw Nancy Keller busily bending over a Bendix. She was working to send her five children to George School. VVe turned around and saw another familar figure with a big basket of laundry. lt was Nancy Amos, of all people. She told us that she was happily married and was one of Nancy's best customers as she had just had triplets. Georgia Medley is going to the University of Connecticut, but every weekend you will find her heading South. She told us that she plans to he married soon, but we coulr1n't hnd out who the lucky man would bc. That afternoon we boarded our Constellation bound for New York. Upon landing at l.a Guardia held we went straight to the NK'a1dorf. VVe were greeted by the VVa1dorf's tirst woman manager, jackie 1.udlam. 1Nhile talking to her we learned that Jackie's hus- band was the owner of the 11Yaldorf and had started a chain of hotels all over the world. She also told us that there were a group of Sem. girls having a good ole hen party in room 27, so we rushed upstairs. lt was so good to see everybody again. VVe had a gossip session just like the ones at the Sem. Nan Poole had married Bill soon after graduation and they were living in a peut house overlooking New York. Another Beta girl there was Diane Dixon. She had married Dick and they were having a wonderful time in New York. Nancy Ahl, who is president of the Killum Advertising agency soon joined the party. She had risen to fame by her great discovery of Ratso , the most effective mice killer known to man. Lou Shy, who's only grown one inch since we last saw her, is married to lid, and is the proud Mother of four boys. She has been busy training them to swim in the olympics. Leaving the XN'aldorf we ran into Nancy Heilman who was showing a friend from tfermany the sights of New York. 1'Ve stopped by Lord X 'l'ay1or's to chat with Barbara Palma who is top executive there. Through her guidance she has made Lord X 'l'aylor's the number one store in the world. Another person of high position in the merchandising world is Anna Mae Bloxham, She told us that she was leaving for Paris this week to sponsor a fashion show there. That evening we attended the opening of a new musical starring Margaret Jensen, who is said to be another Marilyn Miller. During intermission we saw manv of our old class- mates. Among them was Ollie Lagergrcn, now Mrs Ronald Galione, and the proud mother of three children. Vtfe talked to Jeanne Bearss who told us that she was getting married next week. She had pust finished a record-breaking season as the star in Ioan of Arc. Nanci lvfcllonald and lloris Butti were also in town for the opening, and we noticed that Doris looked a little tired. NVe learned that 'Doris had been nursing Tommy Manville back to health, wlnle Nanci held his hand and kept his temperature up to 1050. ,lean Hyatt and Jane Thompson are very successful school teachers. ffean has her own school now, wlnle ,lane is still trying to teach home economics at 1Nest Point. 1K'e also saw Gloria Dillon, now manager of the Brooklyn Dodgers. She is making plans to win the pennant in 1970 when her sons will be old enough to comprise the infield.
