way to make diamonds synthetically. NANCY CORRIGAN has done a tremendous good work for all the weak-voiced girls. They will no longer have to strain to raise their voices for Nancy has thoughtfully provided all the faculty with hearing aids. There are many more cars around St. Ioe now because of JACKIE KOCH. Jackie sells replicas of her own high school car for half price to all St. loe girls who are interested. For the convenience of those who do not take advantage of this wonderful offer, the 04 line now has an 8:30 dinky. lt is driven by JOAN DEBRECHT who recalls vividly how it feels to run the last two feet to school, only to find the bell has been rung five minutes ago. ROSIE RENOE is well known to anyone who has charge of Bulletin Boards. Besides giving advice, Rosie rents out pictures and letters of all sizes and colors from her ample supply accumulated during her senior year. Have you noticed that an addition has been made to the uniforms, Gramps? Yes, you're not just imagining things-the girls all wear sailor's pea jackets now. IEAN EINIG supplies them, but it took BARBARA BRANDAU to persuade the faculty that the pea jackets were absolutely necessary for the better good of the girls. A few new subjects are being taught at St. loe now. PEGGY SEARS is an instructor in the fine art of embroidering seat covers and knitting socks. IUNE ANN COGHILL, when she can be spared from her Hollywood studio, gives lectures in photography. Iune employs FRANCES BROCKMEIER, a full-fledged comptom- etrist, to work out the intricate factors such as distance, light, etc., so' necessary to her work. EVELYN GAU has taken over the cafeteria and has established a branch in the main building for the convenience of girls between classes-quite an improvement, huh, Gramps? Oh, see that girl standing on the corner waving? That's IEAN BONZON waving goodby to her husband who is off on another trip. She and Pete have started a trucking line from St. Louis to Memphis. Over there is BETTE McKAY'S house. She is happily married and has two sets of twins. She spends her spafe time telling IOAN BOCK- LAGE, her next-door neighbor that her dear twins are ever so much better-behaved than loan's five boys. A dinner is being given in honor of PATTI TRAPP over in that building. Patti has just made an invaluable con- tribution to education in her book denouncing Palmer and putting forth the Trapp Method, well known for its modern- istic freedom of form. MARY LEE CUROTTO the guest speaker, has published a dictionary of one syllable words for the use of English students so that they may obtain simplicity in writing. Another literary contribution has been made by MARY OSLZEWSKI, who is there also. Mary has devised a small handbook, Ways and Means of Giving Book Reports. Another guest, PADDY LORENZ, is now a celebrated surgeon. Paddy has recently perfected a delicate operation whereby she inserts an additional supply of brains for those who feel in need of them. Ha 66 l'0l9 QC? MARGARET CHAPMAN is over there. She now has her own School of Pharmacy which is the only one of its kind: she has eliminated the study of chemistry from the curricu- lum. Next to her is BARBARA KOCH, also in the drug business, but in a slightly different phase. She is manu- facturing Koch's Little Beetle pills which have the same effect as Kick-a-poo Ioy Iuice. There's IEANNE'l'l'E MASCH- MANN. She has just published a book entitled, How to Visualize Three Dimensional Figures and Still Retain One'l Reason. You see, Ieannette took third and fourth year math. The sports world, too, has received its quota. GEN BISCH has been the undefeated heavy-weight boxing cham- pion for five years - she was started on the ladder of success by IEAN ANDERSON, the first woman manager of the St. Louis Cards. They have won the pennant for the last ten years. SUE BOLHOFNER took the title of world champion amateur pole-vaulter in the 1968 Olympics. She usually enters competition with a handicap in that she doesn't use a pole. CLARE BURKE, a well-known jockey- ess, spends her spare time making movies co-starred with Hopalong Cassidy. MARGIE BERGIN now conducts a school for basketball referees. She equips all her students with special glasses which allow them to notice fouls committed only by guards. IOAN CASEY and RUTH O'NElLL have organized a unique detective and protective agency especially for the benefit of high school girls. Ioan and Ruth say that they have done this because they remember how often such an agency would have helped them back in those trying days. MARY ANN COMBS, when she is not answering letters asking how to keep crowns straight and to keep from tripping on one's train, serves as their most skilled body-guard. Oh, look, CATHY MICELI is over there in Italy. She and her husband are leading a band of guerillas against the Communists. ALICE STEUBY appears to the world as cap- tain of an ocean liner, but she is really the go-between for the various underground organizations in Europe. Speak- ing of ocean liners, CARM SCHMELIG spends her summers on them trying to get rid of the cold she develops in the winter from spending her time in the snow setting up cribs. Well, Gramps, I guess that's about all. Oh gee - I almost forgot my favorite graduate, ANN CHAMBLIN. Her program is just going on the air. She is dramatizing her autobiography in a serial, Ann Faces Life. Portia could face it no longer. That really finishes up the list, Gramps. Do 'you see now why l'm so proud of the class of '48? Yes, Luna, I do. They're really a wonderful group of girls. Page Seventy-One
