iff 'Qi?.sfsf X If L g i-K REU I0 KV pi qi? Time: june l, 1947. 'K Place: Hotel Suburban, East Orange. UR inquiring reporter, at the ex- pense of making himself very unpopular, interrupting some choice bits oy gossip, causing soup to turn cold before being eat- en, and generally getting in everyonc's hair, has just interviewed the entire class. VVhat surprises in store! Nice that have turned into men, sirens into living portraits of XYhistler's Mother, shy and timid coeds now world-renowned figures, But away with generalities. Let us see exactly who is who. Oh, yes, there in the corner sits Leona Pierce, hrst married in the class, exchang- ing recipes with Lois Procter-poor Lois who really isnit enjoying herself a bit, sit- ting worrying whether little Vic has al- ready set the apartment on fire, or is just in the process of so doing. On her right, in all her glory, sits jean Pigot, of all people to go in for deep sea-diving, the last one we'd have suspected. Near her we find Vir- ginia Follmer and Marjorie MacCormack, who have done exceedingly well in social service work, luring delinquent girls from the streets into membership in the Happy Hour Sun- shine Club, re- placing gin tastes with feverish de- sires for tea and crumpets. Amaz- ing results, truly commendable. Marty Lehrer. toastmaster of the occasion, is pros- pering nicely as one of Newark's foremost lawyers, very busy at present with Evelyn Larson's third divorce case. Poor Evie-she never could make up her mind. but somehow returning those little plati- mum circlets involved so many more com- plications than mere fraternity pins. Good old 'fMoose has just returned from Holly- wood. Imaginel Taking her Sabbatical leave. she trekked to Californiag Stepill Fetchit had just come down with the mea- Page One Himdrcd Eighty-Four sles in the midst of a picture, and what hap- pens? Moose lands the job, makes his shuf- fle look like a can- ter, and acquired so much success and money that she has been able to retire and sat- isfy her great am- bition - doin g nothing - with- o u t conscience trouble. At the speaker's table sits Mar- garet King, her i list of degrees looking like alphabet soup-former mayor of Caldwell, and now running for First woman President of the United States. flncidentally, the Literary Digest says she is three to one-so weire all hoping.j Speak- ing of politics, I noticed Mr. Ostlund pres- ent. Flew up from XVashington for the ban- quet, where he holds a nice executive job in the Department of the Interior-all Qwls, naturally, on his staff. XVhat a picture of contentment is Sandy. Found his true love at last, lives in the proverbial white cottage with green shut- ters, owner of a thriving little furniture store, and is the happiest man present. Lil VX'alker, of all people, attaining such re- nown as a columnist, not only 'syndicating her advice to the love-lorn but coining plenty fand rocking them in the aisles, to bootj with her inimitable views on life. jean Anderson managed to tear herself away from the wilds of Newton and her ibeloved turnips just to see her old class- mates once more. VVe expected, perhaps, a sunbonnet and housedress, but lo-just chic as ever. Farm life hasn't changed her a bit. Naturally, she and jean Emptage had quite a bull session. jean, you know, start- led all her old friends by emerging from her shell and becoming one of the most violent Communists of the day. Not only orates from soap-boxes-but almost broke

' ' f , up the banquet! lirnestine Tliiry, tall, stately and attrac- tive as ever, is modeling women's clothes at l.ord and Taylors. And remember Ed Spi- nelli? XYell. he's the same Spinelli starring in Itchy Feet with Ginger Keeler. Gosh. I surely hated to get in his way on a dance floor in the old days. liea Shukan, principal of Orange High School, was having a heated discussion when l last saw her concerning the pros and cons of career women with Roslyn liaininer. Poor Roslyn can't choose between accepting charge of the English Department at liarringer High-or a cer- tain dark man in Newark who is definitely on the home loving side. Paul Suter, thow quiet he used to bej is now our leading magazine cover artist. Pink and baby- i +blue h o u s e in Greenwich Vi l - Iage, he is very much the Bohem- ian these days. Ah me - what time does to one. A latie - comer arrives - P e r c Arnstein, in o st famous band lead- er of the decade. playing now, if you please. at the Rainbow Room. Always a business man.

Complete metamorphosis here. The night life has transferred our old 'in- travert into the greatest flirt in orchestra history. Ile is so busy ogling at the beau- teous dancers each night that he frequently bursts into hymns while the remaining I'rincetonians are beating out the blues. Nicco Brown. the Housewife's Delight. has added a dash of sex to his first love. science, and every Saturday morning makes the most appealing radio talks on scientific housekeeping to a large audience of fasci- nated female fans. Tom Garvey has just published a pamphlet. we are proud to an- nounce. entitled, , How to Take lfleven Minutes to Render a Three M in u t e Talkg lixercises in Vo- cabulary liuilding in 'l'en liasy l.es- sons . As head of the History De- partment in Irv- ington. h e ha s launched forth on a lengthy tirade against the latest salary cut to his fellow sufferer, Gerry Donovan. who keeps having the most terri- fic escapades trying to dodge his students at all the local hot spots. Anna ,Iohnson i next observed, Remark- able woman. Matron over all four Girls' llorinitories at Cpsala. she keeps two-hun- dred and twenty-six girls right under her eye, even refusing the offer of assistants. She is telling her troubles to Shirley Kay. now married, living in Newark, and to her constant amazement, the proud mother of four little redheads. Audrey Klink joins the party with her tale of woe. Her husband sends forth a perennial protest against can- ned dinners, but Audrey, as President of the XYomen's Club of Millburn, the 'l'hurs- day Club. and the Little Theater Guild of Millburn, is simply too busy to-well, she just can't cook. Coach Tortorella, or Pat as he is still familiarly called by the students. has coach- ed Upsala's football team into foremost place as the top notcher in the liast! Good old l'at-big, gruff as ever, but confiden- tially, as henpecked as the Timid Soul.
