Well it seems that every time Norma wanted to go faster there was a cruiser ready to nab her, so Norma took to Auto Racing. She is now the World’s Auto Racing Cham¬ pion but she still gets a thrill breaking the speed laws. Florence Burel, who is now the proprietor of a large firm, says that every time she starts to dictate a letter to her young secretary she only hears, What, another letter!’’, or I didn’t get half of that letter!’’ or, Whoever thought of shorthand?” Doesn’t that remind you of Miss Bond’s shorthand class back in ’53! Betty Van Allen is now Editor of the Young Romance” magazine. A magazine for young adults and their problems. So if you have any problems just send them in to Betty and you will get the very best advice. Huh, Betty? Mae Kandal is now a fillibusterer in Congress. Lately she’s been complaining that she doesn’t get enough pay, but she says that there is the only place she can do anything with her talking talent. Donald Wood is now modeling men’s sportswear. He says he likes his job very much only he never realized he could attract so much attention from the women. Mary Ann Bell made quite a success in music. After taking vocal lessons for several years she made many sensational records which became hits. She also sings occassionally in the Metropolitan Opera, which I under¬ stand, has been remodeled to the image of the Strand Theater. You know they didn’t want Marianne to feel out of place. I don’t think Mr. Chrisoulis knew what Clara Squires would be getting into, but driving a car wasn’t enough, she wanted to do something more exiting. So one day while driving by Bradley Field she spotted a plane ready for take-off. Well, you can imagine the rest. Clara has now made several Trans-Atlantic flights and from experience she says, Take it from me, one thing you don’t have to worry about is trees and telephones poles.” Irene Rutkiewicz holds a very serious job that requires attention, thought, and cleverness. She is now news com¬ mentator on C. B. S. (The Corny Business Station). Being captain of the Senior Patrol certainly had a big effect on the life of Dick Stewart. He is now head of the Connecticut State Police and has set a new trend in their uniforms. He now requires them to wear armbands but believe it or not he finds it easier to have them keep the bands on than he did trying to make the seniors wear them. The telephone company has immensely benefited by employing Shirley Leavitt as one of their telephone operators. They say that Shirley has such a pleasant voice and such courteous manners that since they employed her there seems to be many more long distance calls. Shirley Edmonds who was our sports champ throughout the years of Suffield High is the first woman slugger to play in the National League. You can be sure the Yankees will win all the World Series now. Richard W. Chapin, world-famous by this time, has achieved a position making him the envy of everyone who has a yen for adventure. He is now mining diamonds way off in Africa and by the way he’s drawing them out with his magnetic personality. I presume you have all heard of that novel Bring Them Back Alive”. Well it certainly pertains to Phyllis Norrie, who is capturing live wild animals in the African jungles for Clyde Bailey. Just like Phyllis, never a dull moment. Janice Buckley is happily married to Duke but she has quite a time keeping the little Dukes and Duchesses from getting into mischief. She says they’re only quiet when they’re asleep! After long years of study in Paris, Pearl Norrie has become a fashion designer. Today she is using her great talent efficiently as she is Hollywood’s No. 1 fashion designer. Working as Business Manager for the Reader’s Re¬ flection Gladys Bogdanski realized what an excellent head for business she possessed, so after graduation she took off for Wall Street where she is employed in a Stock Market. I hear she’s doing quite well and has her eyes open for any available Texan who meets her qualifications. They are: money, wealth, and fortune. Charles Rapacki is proud to be the first human being to reach the top of Mt. Everest. Before he left to accomplish this dangerous climb, he said he would have done it long before only the women were always chasing him! Emma Drake, who was known for her quiet, sensitive manner, realized she had the qualifications of a good secretary and applied for a job where she was quite welcomed. By the way the name of the firm was Calm, Cool, and Collected Corporation. Barbara Adams has revealed her secret formular for the beautiful golden hair which she possesses. Some im¬ portant Cosmetic Firm in New York bought it up and Barbara received quite a feasible sum which put her on Easy Street. When asked how she feels about it Barbara replies Just a chance of a Lifetime . Pat Morrison, who recently won a fortune on the Ford T. V. Program, decided to live in New York, but Pat got tired of the bright lights, gay music, and late hours and returned home. Ah yes, we have swiftly passed through years of happiness, joy and sorrow but now the curtain through we have peeked is about to fall. It is time to face the present and hope—hope for security, prosperity, and in America as we have always known it—America The Beautiful. 21
