whole student body has been invited, and Elizabeth Leo seems to be very happy over the whole affair. Oh, I saw Robert Blanchard the other day doing something that I never believed he would do. Of all things he was carrying a large bag of mail on his back and he was whistling “Love Letters.” He is a mail car- rier, but he still isn’t married. Mrs. St. Amour, the former Barbara Pari- zo, was at the dinner and she looked charm- ing. As you know she is a designer and she designs her own clothes. As you also probably know by now, she was married last June. Most of us were surprised to see that she had finally decided on which one she really wanted to marry. We received a telegram from Paul St. Peter saying that he regreted not being able to at- tend the reunion, but he was painting, and it was very important that he finish this paint- ing, as this was his first opportunity to paint in Italy, and that he had been waiting so long that he couldn’t possibly refuse this big chance. He said he would try to make the reunion next year, and he sent his regards to all. During the program Ruth Hutchins sang to us. She has been singing with the Metro- politan Opera Company for two years, and she plans to go to Europe in the near future to complete her studies in music. Raymond Niquette was unable to attend the dinner also because he is now in Holly- wood making a movie picture, and in the movie he is doing a roller skating act. We all will be waiting to see Raymond’s first picture. Ruth Lamothe Nolan was at the dinner with her four little boys and her husband, Curly. Do you remember how Ruth used to tell us that she would rather care for boys than girls? I wonder if she still feels the same about it? Her boys seem to keep her quite busy. Claudette Gratton Bissonette was at the dinner also with her husband, Donald, and their two little girls. The little girls were interested in Ruth’s little boys. Claudette’s husband has a gas station, and the bookkeep- ing claims much of Claudette’s time. When Merrill Hutchins stood up to tell us what he had been doing he told us of his last fight. He is now a professional boxer, as you must know. He also told us of his future plans, and whom he was expecting to fight in the near future. My time is running short, so I’ll have to sign off, but in closing I might add that it seemed like high school days again. We all hope you can come for the next reunion. Lawrence Leveillee is the new alumni presi- dent, and he will send announcements about next year’s plans. Sincerely, Ann Lister By Elaine Beveridge -29-

Did I tell you that Lawrence Cook was there? He was in New York for a news- paper convention, so could be at the dinner. After working as a foreign correspondent for a couple of years, he was appointed News Editor of the St. Louis Globe-Dispatch. He hopes to be publisher some day, but he is doing very well for a man about 28 years old. Another former class member to make good in his field is Frank Vartuli, who told us of his research into social problems for his new textbook. He is lecturing at Columbia Uni- versity this year, on information about Pales- tine. Another prosperous business woman is Lorraine Allen Sweeney, who confessed she had designed and supervised the decorations for the dining room in which we were eating. She has a shop near Times Square here in New York and creates the most unusual table and room decorations for very exclusive Park Avenue parties. Beverly Lister, also was at the reunion. She is now head buyer for the Columbia Rug Company. It is the largest Rug Company in the United States. Beverly has traveled all over the world and someday just as soon as General Jarvis retires from the Army she ex- pects to make a change in her career. There was a Navy Fleet that landed in New York two weeks ago and that is the reason why Lorraine Leclair is here, to see a certain Elmer, more than to attend the re- union. Lorraine has obtained a leave of ab- sence from the hospital where she is Head Nurse, for one month. For the past ten years we have all expected to see a wedding band on her hand, but it still came as a surprise. We had a new poet at our reunion, Thomas Kane. We knew that Thomas could write poetry if he put his mind to it, but Thomas never seemed very interested in poetry until he met Karen Ban Hopp, and she was his inspiration, now he will be inspired by Karen most of the time because there is to be a wed- ding in June. He has dedicated his first book of poems to Karen. She was at the dinner and I can see why she inspired Thomas. To quote Shakespeare, Her sunny locks hang on her temples like a golden fleece.” Shirley Hughes was also at the dinner, having made the trip from Zanesville, Ohio, where she is head of a business college. She graduated from some Ohio College, I do not know which one, and she took special work at the Gregg School in Chicago before she started teaching. She rapidly climbed to the top of her ladder where she is buliding up this school with her radiant personality and her keen business sense. Also at the dinner was a very famous lawyer, Sam Harris. He flew up from Reno to attend the dinner, and there he is kept pretty busy. He had been handling divorce cases. Also he has had quite a few offers to be married, but he has not accepted any as yet. Gerald Greene is now coaching basketball at Fordham University and I, Ann, will be- come Mrs. Gerald Greene on next October 14. Probably the most entertaining member of the class was the one who entered during the program dressed as a clown. He paraded about playing pranks on everybody. He kept us guessing and amused for quite a while un- til finally the last thing on the program he removed his false face to reveal the fact that he was not a man at all. This clown was a girl, none other than Muriel Leblanc. She explained how she had done nothing exciting compared to most of us—she is still at home and is teaching in the same high school where she graduated from. For a hobby she has made several costumes and entertains the children and shut-ins on holidays and at parties. She certainly had us fooled with the clown act. Jacqueline Shirnhaus Rocheleau also was at the reunion. She is kept pretty busy now caring for her five-year-old daughter, and writing her fashion column for the Boston Sun newspaper. Around the University of California there has been much talk about one girl who has just become engaged to Professor Dinglehop- per. All the girls on the campus have had hopes to become the future Mrs. Dinglehop- per, but it seems that it took a girl from good old W. H. S., Elizabeth Leo, to win his heart with her charming ways. As soon as this term is over they plan to be married. The -28-
