Me M44 af '45 We are about to embark on a tour of the important positions held by our most cherised classmates. Because this is the age of alr transportation, we drive to the airport in our new transparent auto, which, by the way, was made at the new Ford plant where Joe Taylor and Gerald McGrath are the most efficient workers. A1'riving at the airport, we take the new plane which can stop on a dime and will fold its wings automatically, thus saving space. We are greeted by the friendly smile of Bert Authier who i now manager of the great Ogdensburg-Flackvllle Airway . He guarantees absolute quiet on our stop at Flack- ville. Virginia McDougall is air hostess on Bert's largest transport and therefore we discover, from her, many interesting facts about our dear class of '48, According to 'Ginnyg' Pat Sovie and Marion Fritz are still working on that Victory gar- den they started a few years ago. They just don't seem to have any luck with those beans. Flossie Cardinal, after having been a phys- ical training instructor in the WAACS , has settled down to enjoy life and relax by teach- ing school. She certainly ca.n't be teaching as quiet a class as ours! ! Charles Shunk now has full control of the Eastman Kodak Company in Rochester: in fact, he practically' owns the town, but Pat Hannan still maintains a section of it for her young ladies finishing school, although there's talk of a merger. Therese Brown has just been appointed radio announcer at station WSLB . She has her own musical program entitled It's swing and sway with Chubby and Tae . Of course, Chubby is on the program. Lil Sovie and Stella Donaleski have dual- ly bought Lalonde's riding academy. Fooled you dldn't we? They both are bus drivers and can ride all day without tiring. Doris Kennedy. a. 'brilliant scientist was experimenting in the largest lab in the World over in Waddington when all of a sudden- pooff ? ? She really was a nice girl. Shirley Cody, the girl with the lowest marks in the Senior Class has finally suc- ceeded ln olbtaining a doctor's degree. It's marvelous how she managed to keep up her marks. As we land to take on a passenger we are surprised to find that he is none other than Joe Bergeron who has been making a tour as the double of Frank Sinatra , the famous singer. We are proud of the fact that Joe received his lirst training in the Study Hall. Joe adds his news to ours by telling us that Helen Rolfe has received world-wide recog- nition on her book entitled TEN EASY SHORTCUTS on TAKING FRENCH DIC- TATION . Helen guarantees results or else more short-cuts. We also discover that Don Harradine is running a ranch in New Mexico. It's the funniest thing but he seems to be rais- ing wolves . Could it be? Lester Rishe ls foreman. He always was one to lead llhlngs. How about that front seat in History C? Theresa MacDonald, Beverly Poore, Mary St. Andrews, and Rita George have become partners in the Prescott Ferry. Now, they can go and come when they please without troubling anyone. Margaret LeBeau is the new telephone op- erator. Instead of saying hello, Mert , we say hello, Marg . She certainly can visit, that girl! Euclid Mariea and Tony Milla now have charge of the Town-Meeting. It it is impos- sible to get guest speakers for the discussions, Tony and Euclid provide the debate them- selves. Betty' Ramie has been elected president of the Six Footers Club for girls. Remember how tall she used to be? Elsie Boothe and Jean Gotham, two trained nurses, have left for Sampson, New York, where they will receive their Boot training ,as Navy nurses. Their slogan is Keep them mended. Rita Loughren and Janet Bew have become the world's Chamxpion Bowlers. They have just won their twelfth cup.

Thelma Malnville, successor of Walt Dis- ney, has gained much fame as the creator of Elmer Snit, the pride of Hickemda.le . It has just been announced that Dick Kennedy has won his sixty-fifth honor for his ability to create slogans. One that is sure to endure lasting fame is his Ten Tickets or more will raise the score . Remember his ticket-selling ability hack at old S. M. A.? Alice Lunderman is now the private sec- retary to Admiral D-lin the navy.. I wonder if it's the shorthand she likes. Lorraine Richards has gained local prom- inence as the only woman Alderman. She certainly must have received this position through her great amount of speaking alblllty gained in high school. Eve, the Aviatrix , as she is popularlyv known by her many admirers, recently made a cross-country non-stop flight in her little flivver. Betty' Hannan is now teaching a. class of forty students how to swing Tschaikowsky, Mendlehsohn, and Beethoven. It used to be such a quiet neighborhood, too! Lib Needle and Peggy Carroll, two fam- ous tennis champions have just played their sixth match with Don Budge and Alice Marble. They were always frequent visitors of the court. Claire Deserre, famous X-Ray technician has received a position at the A. Barton Hep- burn Hospital. She always did have a knack for taking pictures. Katherine Taylor has just celebrated her fifth anniversary' as an efficient librarian at the Congressional Library. Congratulations, Kath- erine, and keep up the good work! Clara Seguin has just recently' been elected as President of the Alpha Beta Gamma. So- rority. Her efficiency is due to her splendid work as vice-president back in S. M. A. Star and Hee Doe always did like to sell stuff. They're now selling a. line to the natives in Brazil. Yes, you guessed it, they own a coffee plantation down there. Jim Robillard now has a twelve piece orchestra which ranks among the best. Joyce Austin and Walt Cunningham are featured as his dance team. They really are tops! The yearning for S. M. A. brought Mar- garet Murphy, but this time to teach. She's instructing the first grade and drills on the art of keeping silence. Remember how quiet she was in the study hall. Paul DuPre, due to his great writing ability, has gained world-wide fame as editor of the New York Times . He's devoting an entire page to the advertising of Elaine La.douceur's new super soft drink, 'Cherry-Ko . Betty Bushey and Phyllis Roshirt have opened a day nursery to keep small children from getting into mischief. They always did have a way' with children. Billy McNally de- votes part of his time to amusing the children by singing for them while he air-conditions their playroom. We have come to the close of our tour which ends our prophecy. We hope you have enjoyed hearing about the class of '43 as much as we have enjoyed telling you about it. Stella Donaleski, Elizabeth Needle, Peggy Carroll, Elsie Boothe.
