Priscilla Sylvester and William Tripp, the famous comedians, are advertising for Campbell’s Soup every Wednesday night. Robert White is the president of that company, isn’t he? Yes, he married Sheila Cordeau and they have a home in Newport. Rhode Island. You know we have a painter in the class too. Eva Simpson won a prize from the Art Institution of Chicago for her painting of Mave S?fford, the bathing beauty. I was in St. Johnsbury a short time ago. The old town’s changed so you’d hardly know it. Loretta Veilleaux now owns a chain of lunch rooms which she built up from Willey’s Cafe, and Ronald Hudon is the owner of the St. Johnsbury House. Whatever happened to Harriette Stanton? She and Harriet Calderwood are running an old maid’s home in East St. Johnsbury. Does anybody know what became of the old class cut-up, Donald Black? Yes, I do. He married Gratia Nolin, the shoe-store heiress, and they’re in Monte Carlo at present. He was active in the Salvation Army until he met her. Well, Captain, it’s about time we started for Boston where we’re going to pick up the guests. All right, I’ll order the crew to pull up anchor. My orchestra boys are all here ready to do their stuff. So long, New York, we’re on our way. Whistles-----------------------Whistles Committee, Emily Healey. Chairman Verona Tripp Albert Bahrt Edmund Olliver
