OUR L0 UWB ullure Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. This is your up-to-the-minute reporter, 'Betty Brattlebrain' of Broadway. Flash!--Marion McCoubrey and Madeline Andrus will begin -their first day as teachers at Los Angeles High School this coming Monday. And from the west coast, Mrs. Douglas Lathers, former Barbara Bernhard, and her two children are planning to visit her panmus, Mr. and Mrs. Stephen Bernhard. Rumors have it that Miss Jeanne Buist, through her fashion career, has met a promis- ing young ensign who we dare say has run off with her heart. Jimmy Elbrecht, civil engineer at Boulder Dam,has decided to discontinuelus bachelor- hood and has chosen himself a neat, little wife. For further information see Mr. Elbrecht. A flash which has just come thru! F.B.I. investigators, Dick Miller and Donald John- son, have uncovered new evidence on the ring of chloroform murderers now loose in New York City. Notice!--Walter Mattice, owner of Matt1ce's Mechanical Works has invented a new air- brake for the airplane. Nice work, Mattice! Leighton Jump is his master mechanic. Now from the sea! That dashing, retired naval officer, Richard Morse, and wife, the former Ruth Truby, have decided to settle down to the management of a small grocery store, formerly run by his father. Success to you both! Robert Sherman, successful carpenter in town, has just finished the construction of his new home. Latest news bulletin! A plane piloted by Alfred Stein, had to make a forced landing while flying from Texas to La Guardia Airport. Mr. Stein has been a pilot for Pan American Airways for four years. From the East Coast!--Mrs. Robert Mc Kinnon, nee Georgette French, hasdecided to give up her Job as an accountant to become the perfect, little housewifefbr Mr. Mc Kinnon. Harold Tompkins of the U.S. Army has recently received the rating of 2nd Lieutenant. Miss Barbara Gooss, finances of Patrick Madigan, has taken a secretarial Jobat Metro- politan Life Insurance Co. This is only temporary as the wedding is expected to take place in June. In going over the latest Florida items, I see that Miss Jeannette Hapeman is nursing at one of the large hospitals there. I saw in a New York paper that Miss Rita Kupka has just received an awardRu'her won- derful discovery in the field of dietetics. Not until I finished the article about Miss Kupka, did I see that it had been written by a Windham graduate, Rose Mattera, now a star reporter. What a coincidence! Margaret Van Loan, nursing at an army hospital, recently walked into the service club and sat down beside a member of the W. A. C. Itums't two min- utes before she recognized Freda Johnson, a former classmate, now a sergeant in the army. Flash! Flash! Mr. and Mrs. Donald Munson wish to announce the engagement of their daughter, Gwen Elinor, to William Spencer of Windham. Miss Munson is a registered nurse at St. Peter's Hospital at Albany. I wish you both happiness. Marjorie Terns, member of class of l9h5, is going back to W. A. J. school--not as a student. She is Mr. Woodworth's private secretary. To the ladies! Watch for next month's WVogue' magazine. There will be six full-color pages of fashions designed by Clara Thompson of Jewett. This is your Broadway reporter reminding you of the class motto, WStrive to Improve'. Apparently, the members of this class have made it their guiding principle throughout life. Barbara Bernhard 18
