Ieanne Martin is a nurse, cmd her patients have this theme song: I Don't Want to Get Well 'Cause l'm in Love With a Beautiful Nurse . Ieanne loves her work and some of her patients, too. Bob Warzecha has a steady job working for I. P. Morgan's grandson. Bob is chauffeur, gradener, cook, nursemaid, governess, and dish-washer at the Morgan's. Ed Binke is an excellent dairyman, but there is one thing we must Warn you about-when you return the bottles to Binke's Barns be sure to include those rather snaDDY Soyaglass bottle tops. Ed likes to save them and play with them after hours. Doris Ann Guida is writing novels now, as some of you know. Her latest is The Tragedy of Teresa which has enjoyed a year on the best selling list for 1960, Pretty ripe reading I can tell you. Speaking of books, that reminds me that Mary Barry has really got a novel idea. She has books photographed on that new type- of film, Microtex Photozone, which records a whole book on a single film no bigger than your thumbnail. lt's a modern carryover from that clumsy, old-fashioned V-mail they had about fifteen years ago. Mary has a whole rental library in her flat on Metropolis Avenue with everything from Euclid's treatise on geometry to lack Carlson's cheerleading pamphlet all catalogued. Nice work, Mary. Pauline Kuczensky is working as a draftswoman, designing new perfume bottles in the Pyrozone Perfume Plant and she really is making good money. Ray Barret now owns and controls that factory that makes beebes for boys' air-rifles. Accept no substitutes! Insist on Barretts Beebes today! Nellie Halibozek is teaching school at Public School No. 57. She loves her work but is having a little trouble with those new plastic soybean spit- balls that seem to be the current rage in the grammar schools. We hope you find means of combatting this dread menace, Nellie. lean Dobrinski is now in the business of making HalloWe'en masks for totem poles. Leave it to lean to think up a brainstorm like that. Cernan's Crispy Cereals is a product worth remembering when you get up in the morning with a taste in your month that would gag a buzzard. Helen has developed a new cereal that will send you to work in the morning with more punch than a heavy bomber. It must have been Wilson's cook- ing class that sent Helen on the road to success. Helen Petruck has set up an unique business in Tuscon, Arizona. Her sign, Bulls Branded Here hangs on a cactus plant in front of the boarding house she runs. What a business! Marie Hess is a beauty authority. Because she is an eager worker, she has made every woman of forty plus within a five mile radius of her home in West lskywootz, ldaho, look more like thirty minus! Good work!! Mary Ann Siecienski has her own little circulating library. She has introduced many new ideas to library etiquette. For example, she delivers the books and calls for them personally-and thus eliminates all overdues! Have you heard about Marilyn Pearl? She was testing mattresses in Patrick Katzenbloom's Super-deluxe-Used-Furniture Store window until she was voted the Boudoir Baby of l959 . Well, that is all the news concerning our high school graduating class of l945. lt is gratifying to note that everyone is healthy and happy! l hope everyone remains that way so that in another fifteen years we may have a real class reunion. l'll be seeing you in l975!!

by a distinguished visitor to the Yard-Wally Tuttle, who is mayor of Maromas. Wally was pitcher for the Middltown Giants for a while, but he gave it up when the people of Maromas-all three., of them-unanimously put him in office. Irma Heinrich plays swing records on Station IAZZ and specializes in singing commercials. Rita Moore owns Moore's Mops, Muzzles, and Matches Incorporated. Rita is president, vice-president, treasurer, and she is even her own secretary. Good job, Rita! llo I-lirtle and lean Farrow own and operate a snazzy modeling studio in New York and are experimenting with Plastoglass for their dummies. Across the street hangs the shingle of another famous firm, Gibbons, Grace and Golba, Attorneys at Law . They are a fun-loving bunch and are very busy-spending a large part of their time in court: we won't say on which side of the prisoner's dock. Bed Olson now has a long red beard--and it is very becoming! A rich uncle left him a fortune, and he is spending it for his hobby-building model ships out of matches! Have you heard about Buck Daniels' new invention--the Mathematicians Delight? It is made out of Crystolux, that new wonder plastic. The Aristo- crat Adding Automaton for Absent-minded Algebra Addicts . Buck would have made a fortune except that he forgot to take out patent on it, and it is now being enjoyed by the mathematical world at large. I Carol Whiting worked for ten years trying to decompose oxygen. Finally she gave up. However, she is now trying to analyze gold. Good luck, Carol ! When you find the constituents, let us know, too. Ray Warenda has the pleasant job of undertaker in the You Kill 'Em, We Bury 'Em Bureau of Missing People . Ray really meets so many people, and he has a chance to do all the talking! Ted Dickes is a skiing instructor at a winter resort in Canada. He uses those new Resinotron skis, you know, the ski with the double groove . A large part of his clientele seems to be feminine. Now, why could that be? Betty Schram is assistant professor of higher mathematics at Harvard. Her new theories which deal with spherical trigonometric functions have won her much renown. Many fellows are envious of Betty's job-working with so many figures. Alan Brown is a commercial airline pilot. The things he likes best about his routine is that every afternoon at four o'clock the stewardess brings him in his cup of Postum and daily Plastolux K ration. Stewardesses and K rations at 40,000 feet. Pretty soft! Elsie Petras is an elevator operator in the Empire State Building. Though she has her ups and downs, we all know that Elsie will triumph in the end! Cecile Walsh is a Metropolitan singer. Every Tuesday night at nine o'clock she sings over station BOSH. Ray Kensel had a promising career ahead of him as a master electrician but he rnade a devastating error when he wired up an electric chair with alternating current instead of direct--he gave the electrocutioner an awful shock. Electopia, the electrians' union, put his name on its blacklist, and when last heard of, Ray was trying to get into a school specializing in high tension rope! Beab O'Brien is an underground policewoman. That is, she directs the multitudes of subways in New York City. I wonder how many tickets for speeding she hands out! 27
