Margaret Dennett B W M ii B a CLASS PROPHECY Willsboro, New York June 30, 195 Dear Evelyn (Abare): t HAVE JUST ARRIVED HOME AFTER A MOST FASCINATING AND MOST ENJOYABLE' TWO-YEAR TOUR AROU NT) THE WORLO. YOU ASKED ME IN YOUR LAST LETTER TO WRITE AND TEILL YOU WHAT the Class of 1942 is now doing. I received many pleasant SURPRISES DURING MY TRIP FOR I SAW MANY OF OUR CLASSMATES in different places. My first stop was at London and whom should I see but Sylvia Connor! She told me that she is now in CHARGE OF THE PENN HALL ACADEMY FOR GIRLS. SHE CERTAINLY IS GETTING ALONG VERY WELL. IN PARIS, I WAS LOOKING FOR A BEAUTY SALON, WHEN I CAME ACROSS A SIGN READING— MLLE. BESSETTE. I didn’t quite know what to think as I NEVER IMAGINED THAT I WOULD SEE EVELYN IN THAT PART OF THE WORLD. I WENT IN AND FOUND HER VERY BUSY, AS SHE WAS EXPERIMENTING WITH HER NEW RED DYE. THAT ALWAYS WAS ONE OF HER FAVORITE COLORS—REMEMBER? From Paris I went to Vienna. What a grand surprise IT WAS to see you while I WAS in that CITY. I HOPE that you have succeeded in finding the cause of the OISEASE UPON WHICH YOU WERE CONCENTRATING WHILE I WAS THERE. As YOU KNOW, I CONTINUED MY JOURNEY FROM VIENNA in the Clipper—the largest and finest airplane of the Benedict Transport Air Lines. The plane was piloted by Raymond Costinand Betty Young was one of the hostesses. We went to Rome where in one of the famous theaters one night Bruce Bayless was directing the orchestra. The S0NG(y0U COULDN’T FORGET IT—HE WAS WORKING ON IT TEN YEARS AGO WAS ADELAIDE’S SERENADE —No. 2,B FLAT MINOR. He SEEMED TO BE ENJOYING HIMSELF AS ADELAIDE IN PERSON WAS SEATED ON 80X No. I. I COULDN'T SPEND TOO MUCH TIME THERE AS I HAD MUCH TERRITORY TO COVER AND I HAD ALREADY SPENT MUCH TIME IN Europe. The next stop was Bombay. As we glided into THE HARBOR WE PULLED UP BESIDE AN ENORMOUS LINER. OUR PILOT CALLED TO THE CAPTAIN OF THE SHIP—AS IS CUSTOMARY—AND YOU COULD HAVE KNOCKED HIM OVER WITH A FEATHER WHEN HE WAS ANSWERED BY THE DEEP VOICE OF JACK CARROLL. WE LATER LEARNED THAT HE WAS THE CAPTAIN OF THE LINER. AS I WAS SUDDENLY TAKEN WITH A HEADACHE, I WAS SHOWN TO A STATEROOM, AND THE HEAD NURSE WAS SENT TO ME. AND YOU COULD NEVER GUESS WHdWSHE WAS—HflLENE STANLEY! WE HAD Y A ' A mm A GRAND VISIT ALTHOUGH SHE WAS PRACTICALLY EXHAUSTED, AS SHE SPENDS MOST OF HER TIME CARING FOR HER SPECIAL PATIENT—First Mate Jack Sandberg. Well, time just simply flew, and with it my visit. I SIMPLY HAD TO GET HOME AND START MY WORK. WE STOPPED AT VARIOUS PLACES INCLUDING THE PH I LL I PP I NE S ANO H AWA I ! , AND ALL TOO SOON WE SIGHTED THE WESTERN COAST OF THE United States. But I still had surprises in store for HAD BEEN DYING TO STOP IN HOLLYWOOD FOR HEAVEN HOW LONG. YOU REMEMBER OUR HANDSOME ROMEO , Gonzales? He has recently signed a Paramount con-TO CO-STAR WITH HIS BROTHER, CAESAR ROMERO IN , S I , ME. I KNOWS Johnny tract Seuorita . On one of the other sets, stepping if off as fast as heart beats were Kathleen and Katherine Martin and Earl and Kenneth Lee, better knoy n as the world-famous Martin and Lee Quartet. We had a grand old get-together AND MADE THE ROUNDS OF THE SWANKIEST HOLLYWOOD night spots. Also present at our party were Betty Bridge and Mary Lindsay who are at present in the employment of Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer• We were obliged to land in St. Louis because of slight engine trouble. The very able mechanic was none OTHER THAN ROGER BLANCHARD. BECAUSE OF HIS EXPERT CHECK-UP AND REPAIR WORK WE WEREN fT GROUNDED VERY LONG. I HAD BUSINESS CONTACTS TO MAKE IN CHICAGO. MY PROSPECTIVE CUSTOMERS WAS ILL AS I WAS TOLD PRIVATE SECRETARY VEDA CALKINS. V lTH TO SPARE I DID NOT MAKE TH E CONTACT One of BY H IS ONLY A FEW HOURS PERSONALLY. VEDA TOLD ME THAT HE WAS UNDER THE CARE OF ETHEL CUSHING R.N. AT THE SHAMBO MEMORIAL HOSPITAL. My, MARGARET CERTAINLY HAS MADE A BIG PLACE IN THIS WORLD FOR HERSELF,HAS-N� T SHE? In New York, on Fifth Ave, strolling in the afternoon SUN WAS HARRIS YOUNG, FORMER GLAMOUR BOY OF OUR CLASS, AND AT PRESENT A FAMOUS PLAYBOY. WE HAD DINNER TOGETHER AT THE RlTZ, WHERE AMIOST GAIETY AND LAUGHTER HE ACCOUNTED FOR HIS TEN YEARS SINCE GRADUATION. THE FLOOR SHOW FEATURED PATSIE LINDEN, BETTER KNOWN TO US AS Margaret Dennett. She is a famous singing and dancing star now. Harris also told me that Marion Soper, Presi-of the New York State Red NEXT NIGHT BUT I SIMPLY any longer.

Our high school days are over, Our stuoies are ended ano done, And now comes the time to be earnest, To substitute work for fun. Our days at High School have been happy. And the nights have been filled to the brim, As WE tackled our dates and our lessons, With plenty of vigor and vim. The times of trouble were many, But those of joy still more; So we'll leave our school in sorrow, When we stand at last at the door— The door open to the pathway for us to follow a WHILE, To do work for ourselves and our country. And we'll lighten our way with a smile.
