Down in Greenwich Village last month fellow artists rejoiced with Phebe Ramsey, whose sensational one-man exhibit prompted the French Government to offer her a full year of further study in Paris. The only requirement is that she do a Ramseyscape of the Seine River. This past year Margaret Reed has been teaching home economics at the University of Colorado. The last I- heard she was single and happy, but the Colorado School of Mines might have changed her mind by this time. Newspaper accounts of the former Mary Aylwardi and Barbara Licence have them partners in a novel enterprise, Ideas Unlimited . This ad in the New York Times is typical of those in other city papers, Stale Jokes, Giggles, Rib-TiEEr?'ITiilored to Size. By Appointment Only. Radio and Television Writers Welcome Anytime. I I'm glad that I was able to find out about these friends of ours for you. One fellow I have a chance to visit with fairly often is Dick Murray, who's attached to the State Police Barracks up in Rutland. He's always thought women- were very poor drivers. That feature plus Green Mountain Junior College makes his work very interesting for him. Sincerely, Wally Walpole The Class Ode By Phebe Ramsey 'Tis with tear -dimmed eyes and heavy heart, That we leave this school today. These years have taught us many things, That should speed us along 1ife's way. It will take us a time to reach the top, For the way is long and steep, But all thanks we give to Walpole High. Her treasured mem'i-ies we'l1 always keep.

Ten Years Hence I I I February 15, 1962 1 Alumni Editor Class of 1962 Walpole High School Walpole, New Hampshire Dear Sir: Upon receiving your interesting letter requesting information about the doings of that fine group, the Class of 1952, I immediately sent an SOS to all my former class- mates and teachers in this vicinity to ask them for help. What l've learned may startle you beyond measure, but here goes ...... From Donald Houghton's brother Billy comes the word that Hazel Brainard has reached the top in the coaching field. Can you imagine that she is the only woman basketball coach Dartmouth has ever had? Needless to say, all the Big Green students have never enjoyed playing basketball so much! What's more they've had a victorious ' season so far. While glancing through the paper this morning, I ran across a picture of Miss New Hampshire of l96l , who is our ever -attractive Jane Howard. The article re- lates that next week she is to have a screen test in Hollywood for a part opposite Stewart Granger. The President of the United States, the well-known James P. Johnson, has re- cently been visiting his family home in Walpole. His familiar John Deere has been spotted in many a drive way as he has gone about renewing old acquaintances and begging for re-election. Ethel Hurd, President Johnson's confidential secretary and personal pilot, has also been enjoying 'herself at her home in Langdon, where she has been sunning and swimming at the ultra-exclusive Deep Hole. Word has come directly from Robert Houghton that he is teaching physics at the Boston University Graduate School and is still a bachelor. Despite the frequent proposals he's had, Robert affirms his intention of settling down with the millions he's made from his inventions. Gilbert Chandler's business manager has briefly answered my inquiry with the statement that Gib is now Champion Weight Lifter of North America and Chile. Since signing his new contract with the Boston Red Sox, he has invested very heavily- in jxro basketball teams! The Cattle King of this New Hampshire-Vermont area, prosperous Donald Hill, although a bachelor all this time, has decided that this is the year for him to marry. For this specific reason he is allowing himself his first real vacation since the Class Trip. Nhere is he heading? Sorry ...... he's off to Texas to import one of those gorgeous creatures from Dallas. Donald Houghton, President of the multi-million dollar U-Fly-Yourself Cor- poration, has just been down to Keene Teachers College lecturing on Safe Driving for American Y'outh .' One of his many unusual hobbies is Insurance Adjusting. QHe's still trying to collect on his- own casej. Variety supplied me with the latest news of Ann Rogers, the stunning raven- haired beauty you've been seeing on Libby's Hawaiian Pineapple TV Show. She's just gone to Hawaii as the bride of the owner of the Royal Hawaiian Hotel. For Elisse Nash a modeling career has certainly brought her heart's desire -- a 1962 Pontiac convertible. Two weeks ago Leesie drove from Walpole to her Bel- Air mansion, the setting of many of the California Fashion Shows attended by the Hollywood stars. W
