Walking on wc sighted a neon sign which read, Bob,s Bouncing Brewery, owned and operated by Mona Sweeney. Business must be boomin' - she sure has put on weight. We stopped to chatter for awhile, and like a flash of lightning the King of the Cowboys, Ray Latowski, sped by on his horse, Gold , waving a hearty heigh- ho-away to us. Marion Coulombe and John Lesar were gasping for breath as they tried to keep up with him on their bicycle built for two. They were waving in the air a telegram from a Hollywood studio - Bashful Ray has been evading the talent scouts for years. In the evening, we assembled for a performance given by vari- ous guests. The first star on the program was the charming Metro- politan Opera singer, Catherine Golubic, who sang Beethoven's VI Sympathy in C Flat. She later informed us that her coiffure was done by the eminent beautician Paulette Chimot. Gertrude Osborn, Lucille Bonke, and Helen Wheeler gave us their interpretation of the famous Rocketts from New York. Ardith O'Connell next demonstrated her latest in championship roller skating. During intermission, Dick Haan played his electric guitar and Frances Mangan yodelled to Give Me My Boots and Saddle. CMighty purty, Fran - mighty purty.J Hank Finney seemed ex- tremely occupied in taking her picture. He is now co-owner of the Finney-Williams Photo Studio. Dolores Shepard and Corinne Secord, two very well known ballet artists, performed for us next. Our Powers Models, Donna Loncaric and Nancy Gubry, modeled a preview of spring fashions for us. When the lights went on again, Mary Margaret Calhoun, who was sitting directly in front of us, turned to show us the headline? in the paper she was reading. We were amazed when we read, The Stevens and Beeson Trapeze Act Great Success - Gaining Inter- national Famef' After sending off a congratulatory telegram to the Trapeze Artists we decided to call it a day. Our reunion was certainly filled with plenty of excitement and surprises. 87

Reunion of '59 As our red and white limousine approached the pine lodge at Kelly's famous resort, our gracious hostess, Pat, greeted us with a cheerful, Hi ya! Once inside, we could hear Bill Becoske's mel- low voice singing the current hit Temptation, as Sally King ac- companied him on her Baby Grand piano. In an adjoining room Tom Harris was busily dictating to his personal secretary, Helen Renkes, the latest facts concerning the Thayer vs. McCauley feud. CVirginia and Jeanette have been at it again.J Jean Kovach was lost in Connie Simrnond's latest book on How to Get a Man and Keep Him. She was suddenly distracted by the entrance of Sonny Huard and joe Kauffman, who are now renowned comedy stars on Broadway. Alarmed by the distressed cries of Help! we ran down to the beach in time to see Lifeguard Jack Sloma heriocally rescue the limp body of Dick Ell. The patient was left in the excellent care of nurses, Lola Chubinski and Louise Manarin. Just then, Melvin Herzing's Flying Clipper landed on the run- way. His trim stewardess, Jacqueline Black, opened the portal to reveal the Mr. Atlas of the year, Bob Coulombe. He was followed by a Maryknoll priest, Father Jerry Hudon. Catherine Barry, originator of the Put It On - Rub 'Em Off freckle cream came next. Mary Ann Conroy is her most loyal supporter. Lastly the elegantly dressed Madame Elizabeth Martin descended with her celebrated husband, Monsieur Ricardo LeBeouf, who sets the styles for men's apparel in Paris. We were very much saddened by the news that our classmates, Gemma Maddalena and Richard Zande, could not attend the re- union. It seems that they were working on a new experiment and their lab blew up. Both have not quite recuperated. Greta Mclntyre was also detained by the unexpected illness of her prize winning heifer. We never before realized that our class could boast such a variety of talents. 86
