Che fri Seniofz. Gaffege Wd! cane! X9 june 8, 1952 Dear Miss Kennedy: You have asked me to send you some information on the class of I942, and I feel that this will answer your query. I include the last wishes of the class as well as their present activities. Mildred Marks left her sophistication to Erma Bryant, therefore, you will not be surprised to learn that Mildred is well on the way to becoming a very prominent social leader in Dallas. Ginny Coerr and Carol VVatt left the stables in the care of Harriet jordan and Claire Noyes. Ginny has sent interesting letters from the Court of St. james, where she is a member of our diplomatic staff. Carol is finding it easy to adapt herself to the life of an Army pilot's wife. Jean Loughead, who left Sudie to Susan Orr, had a meteoric rise to fame after the publication of her book Nnlifw llfhirrs in .'1Il1I'l'fl'!l, but suddenly retired from the public eye to become a happy housewife Joyce Shackelton, who bestowed her Chaucer notes on Lois Tucker, is now happily married and living in 'l'eaneck, N. J. Tick, you may remember, left her Hash guns to Bonnie jean, and can be found running her own branch of the 'l'raveler's Aid in Grand Central Station. Gertie jones, who surrendered her dancing ability to Patty Peace, is featured with Charlie Barnett and his orchestra, doing exhibition dancing in the U. S. O. shows. Betty Jones, who gave her serenity to Marge Seagrave, is now contentedly sewing buttons on shirts for the Star Laundry. Flossie Tucker left her tap shoes to Edith, and now does impressario in a large night club in VVashington. jane VVorth Brown left U. V. A. to Barbara Adams for bigger and better ice cream parties, to become a social leader well known in Chattanooga, as well as Philadelphia and Wasliington. jean llarris gave the piano in the auditorium to Miss Mac to become that well-known radio personality, '1 he 'Bama Boogie Beat Girl. Kappy VVatters willed her drawing board to Elaine Treitman, and worked up to being the editor-in-chief of Vogue. Belle Francis left her shorthand books to Carolyn Lambeth, and now heads a business school in Atlanta. Phyllis Jordan, who left her dignity and poise to Sherry Daly, is resigning her position as hostess on the Southerner to venture into matrimony with a certain well-known commuter. Barbara Boshart gave her spot in the office to Jean Clendenin, and reliable sources have it that Barbara is to be the confidential secretary to the next president of our country. Pootie Towncs relinquished her blonde hair to Mollineaux, who wanted it, because she now has another blonde to keep her head in the clouds-and they don't read Roll Jordan Roll. Mildred Rogers left her room to Skinney and Sweeney, and spends her time lolling on the beach at VVaikiki. Jean Rathhurn parted with her Beowulf notes to give them to Margaret Anne Brewer, and is now the leader of the Cleveland branch of the Y. VV. C. A. Agnes VVest surrendered the third bed in her room to Dot Jane, and can be found singing nursery rhymes to her own children. Margie Embshoff set her alarm clock for Sara XVest, and is now typing for the president of the Vicks Chemical Company. Frankly speaking, Steinmeyer couldn't think of a thing to leave, and I rather imagine you know what happened to her. Nancy Goolsby conveyed her A's to Alice Boyd and is an expert in child psychology in St. Louis. Carol Edmonds donates her llair for ad copy to Marie Barksdale, and is now pushing the hair out of her eyes to study her A. B. C's. ,lane Mcliall bequeathed her middle name to Austin, and her better-known canvases are found at the Metropolitan Museum. Judy Deutsh rendered her laugh to Sehniek, and gives Jack Dempsey strong competition with her restaurant. Anne VVatson donated her athletic ability to Moo Anderson, and writes a nationally syndicated column. Miss Pannill, who couldn't hear leaving her class, is studying what she does not know about medicine at johns llopkins, and is directing the interne's May Day. . .and can they ever maypole! To whomever can do it, Lib Lamonby offered her versatility and is rolling in acres of Betta homes and gardens. Mrs. Stone willed her courage and adaptability to the future students and succeeded in being hooded with her daughter at Randolph-Macon. I hope this will help you with the gathering together of material of the zllurnnae Bulletin, and send sincerest love for you who are part of the Stratford we will always love so dearly. Isaser.
