It was our first since graduation in l937g nearly everyone was there and eager to make the event an historic one. l'll skip the banquet and other social functions of the meeting and TGIUY the Surprises that were in store for us when we heard how each mem- ber of the class had fared in life. Henrietta is now Toby's official manager. as we had expected as far back as 1937. Her chum, Lucille, finally acceded to Mart's wishes-her name is now preceded bY Mrs. . Florence has practically become an institution at Boze's. She scrys the Only draw- back to her general satisfaction with life is that Boze interferes with beaus. Poor Florence. Dorothy is employed at Carson, Pierie, Scott, ot Chicago. Since she is a model, her weight is a great asset. Worth Brinker has been appointed athletic director at Purdue. He replaced Piggy Lambert, who made Bob Kessler famous. His former teamrncte, Bud Wulle, is still walking out oi places-it's employers' offices though, not a Princ:ipal's office. Johnnie Mechenbelieve it or not, is still at school at the Alma Mater. Sister Verona can't yet make twenty-nine equal thirty-two credits. His partner in crime, Spoo, has displaced Fred Astaire in the field of esthetic dancing, but he can't find a partner whO can keep up with him. He is not the only one who has gone to Hollywood. Iohnny Lamper is really another Darryl Zanuck. Johnny produced The Rebel Front . Perhaps you have seen it. Louise married Bob Igney, the noted basketball coach, whose Rossville team wen the State championship in 1940. Zola's in Indianapolis. She has joined the management of H. P. Wasson Co. Anderson's leading beauticidn is none other than Wilma. Hel' beautiful Titian hair does ample advertising for her shop. Pat holds the unique posi- tion of manager of Panther Estle, the famous wrestler. She will meet you at the Ar- mory on Thursday night. Wanamakers can boast of Marcheline as head buyer of the ready-to-wear department. Curline Hair Lotion is lohn Ford's offer to the commercial world. His simple dis- covery has placed his income in the higher brackets. lohn Kuklenslzi made his know- ledge of chemistry pay and now manages the experimental farm fcr the Govemment- Janie conducts an exclusive dancing, schO0l. I can still see her and Wilber Crim at Canavan's recitals. Ruth is still trying to find out what everyone is talking about. Joe Lanane is a super salesman for Farm-All Tractors. His pleasing personality makes him the most valuable salesman on the whole force. Kenny owns a vast chain of filling stations. Ipana Tooth Paste has secured the services of Tommy as a Smile model. Do you remember that Tom's teachers could never get him to open his mouth when he read? Well, he's learned now. liggs is prosecuting attomey for Cook County, Illinois. Anderson's opportunities were too sparse for him, so he fO1'S0Ok them for greener fields. Mary and Mildred are still close friends. They are now making a concert tour of the United States with the Artists' Guild of America. We all regretted their Obs sence from the reunion. Mary Aline is ncw of intemational fame. The Metropolitan is crowded to capacity when she is booked to sing in Carmen or Fcxust . The pride Of St. Mary's, Bravo! And last, I, as you know, have gone the way Of all true steno- gruphers - a private secretary, but not in love with my Boss. That finishes the roll call of the Class ot '37. And haven't we dc-ne better than the average class? As ever, Helen
