It takes us clear back to 1950, the year we graduated. Weren ' t we a brilliant class! Sully: I ' ll say we were. Let ' s look back and see what became of our beloved classmates. Alice: Have you seen or talked to many of our old classmates yet? Sully: No, can ' t say that I have, but I found out plenty from the ones I did talk to. Say. did you know that the new State Building was designed and engineered by our Senior Class President, Ronald Brodeur and Vice-President, Donald Galetta? Alice: No, I didn ' t know that, but I did know that the seat of honor was held by our new Connecticut State ' s Attorney, Howard Pomeroy. Sully: Oh. yes, so I heard. And did you know that Betty Aldred is his private secretary? I bet they have some heated debates when Howard says something Betty doesn ' t agree with. You know what a temper Betty has, and how she loves to argue. Alice: I sure do. And remember Rog Waterman who joined us in our Senior Year? Oh. but you ' ve probably heard his world-famous band by now. But did you know that almost half his band is made up of girls? Leave it to Rog! Babe Kennedy has the feature spot playing the piano and singing special numbers. Sully: Louise Bishop and Betty Sheldon have teamed up with Gay Sikes and Ellie Beneski and now call themselves the Suffield Suffragettes. They sing while we suffer. Alice: Well, listen to this. Muriel Spaulding is now mar¬ ried. and her young son. Glenn, Ir., has taken over her place in Roger ' s band as trumpet player. Sully: I hear that Springfield Hospital is doing a roaring business since Connie Lill and Janet Zeneski head the staff of nurses. Alice: So I heard. I hear they have quite a few shock patients, too. Sully: What do you mean? Alice: Oh, haven ' t you heard? Sylvia let her hair grow, and she is now posing for Lady Godiva pictures. Sully: Remember Irene Kida and Joan Martinez? Boy, how they wanted to travel. Well, they are certainly traveling now. They ' re both elevator operators in the Empire State Building. Alice: Well, everybody has their ups and downs. Oh, and speaking of traveling, did you know that Terry Rapacki and Ruth Colson are lady drivers in Hryniewicz ' s Hot-Rod Hack Company that runs between Suffield and West Suffield exclusively. Sully: Hey, that ' s pretty good! Dorothy Albertson finally made the right connections. She ' s head switch-board operator at a large automobile company. Alice: Speaking of cars, it looks like our prediction that John Wersauckas had a Ford in his future finally came true. (How about that, Barbara.) Sully: Remember way back when we were seniors, we had to go way down to Hartford to have our individual pictures taken? That was a night to remember, huh, Alice? Well, now the seniors are lucky. An old classmate of ours, Harold Knox, has opened up his own portrait studio on Russell Ave. and is doing a tremendous business. Alice: Yes, and Judy Hinckley spends most of her time modeling for him. Sully: No, kidding. Not to change the subject, but is Ed Gawel still tapping silos? Alice: Yeah, after about ten years, he ought to be pretty good at it now. Sully: Hey, guess whom I bumped into tonight running out of sixth grade? It was Kay Kennett! She is now principal of the Bailey Junior High School of Suffield. You remember Kendall Bailey, don ' t you? Alice: I ' ll say. He made his first million selling Fire Insurance to the residents of North Street. Remember Hallo¬ ween? Sully: And what about that other North St. resident. Richie Bahre. I hear that he and his two side-kicks, Billy Kupernik, and Paul Lemini have opened up a Better-Baby- Beef-Branch of the Slow-Poke Meat Packers. Alice: And did you know that Stanley Glemboski is now an executioner at Joe Nitch ' s Farm-Factory-of-Finer-Feathered - 18 Fowls? Sully: Yeah, he holds the job of executing all the chickens. If he finds it too cold to go out after the ax. he chokes them. And speaking of choking things did you know that Art Bid- well is posing for white collar ads? Alice: Well, they couldn ' t have picked a better neck. Say, you remember Ruth Edmonds, don ' t you? Sully: Oh yeah. She was a cheerleader in her senior year, wasn ' t she? Alice: Yes. and that was the root of all her trouble. Being a cheerleader she couldn ' t smoke. Now to get her fill she smokes King-Sized cigarettes. Sully: I hear Frances Bogdanski has invented a handless typewriter so she can type with her feet while she doodles with her hands. Alice: That ' s a novel idea. Here ' s another one. Did you know that Lucy Cain is capitalizing on her sweetness—as Vice President of the Cain ' s Mayonnaise Company. Sully: So I heard, and her cousin, Mary Cain, is collective bargaining agent for the perfume counter workers union at Forbes and Wallace. Alice: So that ' s why I haven ' t seen her around town. Well. Natalie Dunn has really done it now. Being naturally secretive, we hear she has gone underground as custodian of the catacombs in Rome ' s historic cemetery. Sully: Another classmate of ours made good away from home, too. We all remember Patsy Cruse, I am sure. Well, she now is Patrice Cruse, Fashion Designer Extraordinary, making Mother Hubbard Dresses for th people of Upper Slobovia. Alice: Yeah, and Jean Zukowski has been sent to North¬ west Podunk by the State Department as consultant to solve their Problems of Democracy. Sully: Alice, did you hear the bad news? Harvey Hayden is in the hospital. He absent mindedly disconnected the gas jet in Mr. Davis ' s lab where he was still learning the dangers of chemistry. Alice: That sounds something like Harvey ' s old days. Joy Underhill didn ' t have to go far for a market for her asset— or liability as you wish to call it. She is now using all her excess hot air at A. G. Spaulding ' s in Springfield, blowing up the basketball that her Springfield College one and only designs. Sully: Pat Harper now belongs to the horsey set. She uses only hair brushes, tooth brushes, clothes brushes, and complexion brushes, made from the tails of the horses she meets in her business.vet. Alice: The other day I was almost run down by Alvin Pedersen. It seems that he has attached flattened Ford fenders as wings to his putt-putt cycle. This makes it easier to oversee his nine-hundred acre Suffield Scientific Sow Sanctuary. Sully: Did you know that Ann Danise finally made her big start in the movies. Yes, she started ushering over at the Strand last week. Alice: I hear she did. But did you know that the girl she used to hang around with, Frances Matyskiela, has given up the secretarial work because she makes more money as the offstage giggle on the Red Skelton Show. Sully: I hear poor Jean Phillips went to work for IBM Office Machines. You know how she always wanted an education. Well, when last seen, she was being swallowed up by one of those electronic brain machines. (Must have thought that she was a tasty morsel). Alice: Speaking of one of my old friends, that reminds me of another one. I hear Ann Samsel is recovering from the shock effects of the latest hurricane. Lucky, she had insurance for such a windy day. Sully: Oh, Alice, did you know that I own a little stock in the Armour Meat Packing Company. Alice: Oh, really. I heard you made your fame and fortune with Maurice Evans on Broadway. But then, once a ham always a ham. And speaking of fame and fortune, did you know that Frank Pacewicz is manager, agent, and coach of the All American Redheads Basketball Team. This is an ideal job for him because there is nothing he likes better than to keep his girls happy and contented. Sully: Then Peachy hasn ' t changed much from our old high school days, has he? But Alice I hear that you have given up those certain Saturday night dances now that there is a cole shortage. Alice: That one will take awhile to penetrate, so let ' s make ourselves scarce before it does.
