Zlass Prvphec The newest atomic submarine, USS DOLPHIN, was soon to be launched. The prospective Captain George Robinson was told to notify his crew which included Ernest Evans, Patrick McSparren, James Schiller, Rollin Rathbun, and David Girven. These men were to be the guests of honor at the launching. The crew who arrived early were given good positions. Looking around, they noticed two former class- mates, Norma Aguiar and Norma Will. The two girls informed the crew that they were there to watch their employer, Philip Rathbun, give a talk on THE IMPORTANCE OF ATOMIC DEFENSE. After the speeches, the crew was surprised to see Mary Grillo, first woman vice-president, christen the new submarine. As the crowd began to disperse, Linda Reynolds and Irene Morgan came up and spoke to their former classmates. The men learned that Linda was an X-ray technician at Lawrence Memorial Hospital, while Irene was the private secretary to the head of the Submarine Base, Louis Luzzi. Several months later, the DOLPHIN completed the first phase of her record-breaking cruise by traveling under the North Pole. The submarine and her brave crew became national celebrities. On her way back to New London, the submarine stopped at many ports to celebrate her successful voyage. The first stop was Nome, Alaska. As the crew began touring the town, they met Sarah Carnaghan, Bertha Allen, Beverly Robinson, and Kenneth Santos who operated a weather station a few miles away. The attendants were happy to have their former classmates tour the station. The crew then stopped at Nome's newest hospital where they were surprised to see nurses, Joan Novello, Michelle Daignault, Eleanor Rose, Janet Ferguson, and Joanne Lawrence. The staff of doctors included Joseph Martin and Vin- cent Russo. After returning to town, they happened to notice three very familiar-looking men. These proved to be Maurice Brown, Terence Cini, and Daniel Birkbeck, who were panning for gold in the wilds of Alaska, and had come into town for supplies. Seattle, Washington, was the next stop. As the DOLPHIN was docking, the crew spied a handsome fishing boat making her way up the Sound. This belonged to Peter LoPriore, Michael Johnson, and Robert Brown, three very competent fishermen. That evening, the crew enioyed a party given by Suzanne Brooks, Celena McMahon, Dianna Christina, Linda Foberg, and Margaret Devine. These girls all held secretarial iobs, at leading manufacturing companies. Attracted to a lumberiack's camp, they found Gerald Cross, Donald DeFosses, and Charles Burgess hard at work. One of the crew's favorite stops was Hollywood, California. Their evening in this famous section of Los Angeles was spent at a well-known night club. The owner of the club, James Levanti, met them at the door. They were given front seats and settled themselves comfortably to watch the floor show, which began with a solo by that talented singer, Georgia Bryer. As the chorus line appeared, the crew recognized Sandra Simon, Lana Siller, Sandra Ashbey, and Phyllis Saffomilla dancing skillfully. At the conclusion of their act, the girls came over to the crew's table and talked with their old friends for a while. The dance band, which consisted of Kathryn Umphlett, Jean O'NeiI, William Cullinane, and Raymond Williams, played the crew's favorite songs all evening. Stopping at Miami, Florida, the DOLPHIN was met by three of the crew's old classmates, David Barker, Robert Duerr, and Joseph Lorello, recently enlisted Marines on leave from Parris Island. The three Marines took the crew to an exclusive motel. When they arrived, Helene Sylvia, the motel owner, came out to meet them. As she showed them around her establishment, the crew noticed Gerald Long, Gilbert Main, and
