Nearly everyone in the class is here for the reunion tomorrow. Dorothy Baker and Clifford Lott are sitting there in the first booth. They have been happily married for 8 years now, and have two sets of twins. Sylvia Mathews and Paule just came in to join them—they have a large farm just this side of Burdctt. Jean Bush and Joyce Cope, who are big-time stenos in New York City, have landed their helicopter on Main Street and are waiting for Jean Fredrick to appear. Jean is the chief pilot for Trans-World Airlines now, and has just come in from France in time for the reunion. Beverly Martin, Jerry Blanchard, Barbara Burnett, Erma Rathbun and Rose Saraceni occupy the next booth. Beverly is an outstanding photographer for Life Magazine—did you see her series on our own Grand Prix? Jerry and Barbara are waiting for the U.S. Navy to dock, while Erma and Rose are counting pennies. They have the drinking fountain concession in the Washington Zoo. Across the room Anna Jean, Ann Landry and Danny, Annie Barber, Rosemary Marcellino, Kay Tallarida, Helen Suits and Louie Del Rosso are crowded into a booth. Anna Jean has been teaching grade school all these years, Ann drives a racer on the Indianapolis Speedway and Danny is her mechanic. Rosemary is the dean of women at RBI. Annie still loves the blonde in the bell-bottomed trousers. She’s got him for keeps now and they just got back from Niagara Falls. Kay is head nurse at Willard. Helen and Louie look just as young as when they graduated. Life with Luigi, you know! Emily Mead, Nancy Brubaker, and Pat Kelley are in the last booth in the center row. Em had a little trouble getting here on time. An accomplished actress on Broadway, she has her wish to be famous. Her millionaire husband and their ten kids are waiting for her in that cream colored 14
