REMINISCENCES

The great revolving doors of the Book-Cadillac Hotel whirled constantly to admit arrivals to the eleventh annual reunion of the Class of January, 1934. In the lobby the confused sounds of sudden greetings mingled with the lower tone of steady conversation. Everywhere happy recollections and memories of former days were exchanged. Old friends, reunited, threw off their new worries for that night in February, 1946, and for this short time felt able to return to the carefree ways of their years at New Bedford High School.

In a corner of the lounge two young men of about thirty years sat together, speaking, as was everyone else, of their school- days.

“By George!” exclaimed the taller of the two, ‘“‘Those were the days! Say, do you remember our football team? Let me tell you, son, that team was positively the best in the state.”’

The speaker’s companion smiled amusedly at the tall chap’s ardor. “And yet they lost to Durfee—of course, after keeping their record clean for twenty-six games.”’

“Durfee! Durfee!’ snorted the indignant fan. ‘‘What we didn’t do to Durfee isn’t worth telling. The game you're thinking of is that Cambridge Rindge Tech game. We lost that one by one point, and let me tell you we deserved to win.”’

be “T’m sure it was Durfee,’’ reiterated the shorter of the two.

“We'll settle that question right now,” shot back the thor- oughly aroused fan. “Durfee? huh! Who has a copy of the Quadrennial?’’ he demanded in stentorian tones.

At last some loyal member of the Class produced his copy. With the fire of determination in his eye the tall chap turned to the correct page and began to read:

CLASS HISTORY

By EDITH WALTON

At our first class meeting the Freshmen who were to graduate in 1934 elected as their officers Leonard Knowles, President; Leonard Harris, Vice-President, and Dorothy Rogers, Treasurer. Boris Yucht was made inter-class debater.

A few short weeks later our class made its social debut. At the Freshman Reception tendered us by the Senior Class, we felt a bit awed but tremendously important. What a charming memory we have of that pleasant evening spent in dancing and rubbing elbows with grown-up Seniors.

The remainder of that first year was spent quietly, the class adapting itself to the environment of the school. Almost before we realized it, the Freshman year was a thing of the past and the Sophomore year was at hand.

The number in our class was augmented by the entrance of students from the two Junior Highs. Thus fortified, we met again to choose our class leaders. The class elected Leonard Harris as President, Alice Morde, Vice-President; Donald Men-

delson, Secretary, and Alice Ward, Treasurer. <A short time later Bernice Caswell succeeded Miss Ward as Treasurer of the Sophomores.

As Sophomores, we went, for the most part, quietly on our High School careers. A few of our classmates began to branch out into various activities The societies of the school had a fair quota of our fellow students, and sports were not neglected.

Now the Class of January, 1934, entered the third year of High School life. Their first official act was the election of officers. This time Donald Mendelson was voted President, with Catherine MacDonald, Vice-President; Lillian Cushman, Secre- tary, and Helen Baumann, Treasurer.

It was during our Junior Year that the class found its repu- tation increasing. The officers of the Debating Society were Boris Yucht, President; Ozores Perry, Vice-President, and Edgar Taber, Treasurer. The Varsity Debating Team helped mate- rially to bring honor to our school by winning the Brown Inter- scholastic Debating Cup. Our class was more than well represented in athletics, the R. O. T. C., the Honor Society, the Dramatic Club, and above all in the Girls’ Welfare League. It was through the help of various members of our class that a traffic system was successfully inaugurated.


The Junior Year passed in a seemingly short time. At our first election as Seniors we elected Leonard Harris as President, Donald Mendelson, Vice-President; Dagmar Potter, Treasurer, and Genevieve Wroblinski, Secretary. When Leonard Harris left school to go to Connecticut, Donald Mendelson was chosen President and Boris Yucht succeeded him in the Vice-Presidency.

At the first Senior Class meeting it was decided to run a novelty dance in the form of a Nautical Hop. This dance was a huge success both financially and socially. It was generally agreed that the Hop was one of the finest dances held in the High School in recent years.

During this final year our class really came into its own.

Donald Mendelson became President of the Student Coun- cil, and Dagmar Potter was made Treasurer of this representative organization.

Alice Morde was President, and Irene Comeau, Secretary- Treasurer of the Girls’ Welfare League. Half of the League’s members belong to our class.

Boris Yucht was President of the Honor Society as well as Chief Justice of the Student Court. Helen Baumann, Helen Weston, Stanley Gorzelnik and David Beaman were Associate Justices of the Student Court, and Henry Connell, Clerk of the Court.

Edgar Taber was Vice-President and Lillian Cushman, Sec- retary of the Honor Society.

Members of the class participated in athletics to a great extent, especially football. Although the football team was undefeated for twenty-six consecutive games, they finally lost to Cambridge Rindge Tech, by the score of 13 to 12. Henry Kasup was one of the foremost forward pass receivers in the state: John Spencer was an “iron man” on the team; Henry Mogilnicki became known as the ‘“‘fighting tackle’; Roland Hall, Eddie Dziubezyk, ‘‘Don’’ Mendelson, Richard Lapienski, Isadore Alberts, and Hammond Bender all helped to make New Bed- ford’s football team contenders for the state championship for two successive years.

Basketball, another popular sport, will lose Henry Kasup, Gerard Aillery, Isadore Alberts, and John Spencer.

Captain Albert Doras, Titonio Oliveira, and Ray Sanderson played on the undefeated soccer team. “Izzy’’ Feinstein and Leonard Harris represented our class in tennis, and John Spencer, Eddie Dziubczyk, Donald Mendelson, Charles Riley, and Irvine Kestenbaum were track members. Ray Blackburn was first string catcher on the baseball team, and Tony Oliveira was also a member of the squad,

THE QUADRENNIAL

The Dramatic Club will lose Edgar Taber, a most versatile actor, as well as Edith Swift, Doran Bertram, and Henry Connell.

At our first auditorium of the Fall term, Boris Yucht was announced Valedictorian of the Class, while Zephir Cormier earned Salutatorian honors. Third and fourth honors were won respectively by Edgar Taber and Edith Walton.

Our history would never be complete without some mention ot the R. O. T. C. and its work. The commissioned officers repre- senting the class there were Major George Tetrault, Captain- Adjutant William K. Tinkham, Master Sergeant Henry D. J. Connell, Staff Sergeant Webster Brown, Staff Sergeant Arthur Crapo, Captain Frederick Geary, First Lieutenant David W. Beaman, Jr., Second Lieutenant Basil Keches, First Sergeant John J. Gannon, First Lieutenant Gordon Simmons, Second Lieu- tenant Richard Lavienski, First Sergeant Norman Gomes.

Already our Senior Porm, Class Banquet, Class Day and Graduation are happy memories of the past—all joyous events. As we stand on the threshold of life, each graduate looking eagerly forward to the future, we feel that we can never forget the happy days that were ours. We will always remember the fine record made by the class of January, 1934, in all its endeav- ors at High School. May the incoming Seniors fill our places nobly, and may we find health, happiness, success, and—-peace— in the days to come.

The tall chap gently closed the Quadrennial. In his eyes scenes of New Bedford High School replaced those of the Book- Cadillac Hotel.

“Those were certainly the days,’’ assented his companion. “ven if Rindge Tech did win—by one point,” he added.

Shaking himself from his reverie the tall man said: ‘Oh, well, let’s go into the dining room. Donald Mendelson, the same jolly chap in 1946 as in 1934, is making the introduction of the after-dinner speakers.”

Arm in arm the two grads strolled into the dining room, the controversy settled.

THE END.

PROPHECY

A Report of the Eleventh Annual Reunion of the Class of

February 1934; held at the Book-Cadillac Hotel

in Detroit, February 1, 1946.

It was my privilege to be a guest at the reunion of the February ’34 class of the New Bedford High School, which was held recently at the Book-Cadillac Hotel in Detroit. Although the members of this class have been scattered far and wide throughout the world during the years since that memorable day when they seized their diplomas, heartbroken, bid their in- consolable teachers adieu and left the school forever, the greater number of them were able to be present. I came by special invitation of the class president, Mr. Donald Mendelson, who desired me to make up a report of the proceedings, together with a description of the members present and their standing in society. I spent some hours in the company of these people, and came to like and admire them; let me say for the benefit of those readers who have no acquaintance with this class, that I have never seen a more intelligent or a more varied group of men and women.

As I pushed through the revolving door of the hotel lobby, I noticed a young man in the compartment in front of me, who continued to spin around and around after I had left. Coming back, I stopped the door and asked if I could be of any assist- ance.

“Thank you,” he said. “I’m attending a reunion here. I came with my parents, and my mother was with me, but she got out of the merry-go-round there and I didn’t. She didn’t notice that I was gone and went on without me. Perhaps the people here will help me find her.”’

He was a very tall young man—so tall that he had to reach down to shake hands as he left me. He told me that his name was Beaman. The first person I saw in the lobby was Mr. Mendelson, who greeted me with enthusiasm and led me to the room in which the graduates were assembling. He introduced me to his wife, the supporter of the family, Miss Gloria Swanson, and also to a number of the class notables: Henry D. J. Connell, the famous producer whose showmanship and taste in girls have earned for him the name of the second Florenz Zieg- feld; Henry Mogilnicki, the famous football coach of Holy Cross, and his wife, the former Jesuina Simmons; Keene Dunham, the

64 THE QUADRENNIAL

editor-in-chief of the Independent Woman; John Francis, professor of economics at Vassar College; Edith Lyon, the well- known radio blues singer; Esther Alberts, the famous lecturer on dietetics; Charlie Provost, the author of nursery rhymes; Florence Lambert, the moving-picture actress; Mildred Thorley, best-beloved hitch-hiker in the country, who recently made the head-lines by thumbing a ride on the Twentieth Century Limited; Veronica Meakin, who broke three world swimming records at the last Olympic Games; Evelyn Tyson, the matchless singer in the City Hall Opera; and Lottie Frankel, world’s best known radio announcer.

Although these were all pleasant as well as prominent people, I was more interested in a picturesque figure standing at some distance from me; a lean, hard-bitten specimen, who wore a sombrero and carried a wad of chewing tobacco in his cheek. “That’s Frank Rushworth,’’ said Mr. Mendelson in answer to my question. ‘‘He’s a cowboy. Last year he won the all-around ability award in Colonel Johnson’s Thirteenth Annual Rodeo. His specialty is trick riding.”’

“And who’s that fellow in the corner, with the snow-shoes under his arm?”’

“That’s George Gregory. He’s a life-guard at Etah, Green- land. And the fellow next to him is William Roy Bird, who invented a machine to stretch bull-dogs until they look like dach- sunds.”’

“Who are those two in the corner—the short one and the stiff one?”’

“That’s a partnership. Kenneth Wigley became an organ- grinder and hired Ernie Whitely to be the monkey. Oh, by the way—have you met Frank Orlowski?”’ And I had the pleasure of shaking hands with the world’s wrestling champion.

Other champions were present, too; there was Mary Mular- czyk, the fastest typist in the country, and Isadore Feinstein, the champion hog-caller of Calveras County, California, and Eliza- beth Hathaway, who was the first woman to win the 500-mile auto race at Indianapolis. Rita Fortin won the pie-eating championship of the country in the finals at New York last year, but was not able to be at the reunion, not having left the hospital. One of the most interesting characters at the reunion was Arnold Wimer, called the uncrowned king of the American hoboes, who runs a jungle in the outskirts of Chicago.

Here there was an interruption. The door swung open and in came a figure who claimed the attention of every person in the room. She was rather tall and slender, with eyes like—is saucers the word?——and she smoked a cigarette in a ten-inch holder while carrying a Pekinese under one arm and her pub-


licity agent under the other. ‘“‘That’s Eileen McDonald, the night-club hostess,” said one of my neighbors. And that fellow with her is her manager, Ray Blackburn.”

I wandered about on my own a bit and mixed with various groups. Occasionally I overheard stray scraps of conversation— “Why, Fred Geary—what have you been doing?” ‘Oh, lately I’ve been selling silk stockings, perfumed garters, and anti-freeze solution—for the housewife, you know.” ‘“‘Heard from Dot Smith?” “Oh, yes—she’s running an advice-to-the-lovelorn column in the New York Mirror.”’ ‘‘Remember Albert Resendes? He couldn’t be here—he’s a marathon dancer and has been dancing at one place for three years.” “I hear that Arnold Weaver makes a living writing convict stories. . . anybody could do as well, though, with his experience.’’” ‘‘—and Edith Shapiro— she married a millionaire—succeeded in divorcing him—is going to spend the rest of her life on the Riviera, living on the ali- mony es

Dinner was served in the Crystal Room. There were seven at the table besides myself: Gertrude Lonergan, the wife of a milk-toast manufacturer in Kansas City; Henry Tabet, the long- distance walker who hoofed it from Nome, Alaska to Rio de Janeiro; his wife, the former Alice Morde, who accompanied him on a bicycle; Antone Viveiros, a fish dealer who ships shrimp from Gloucester to all parts of the country; Mary Zolt, who works in a book-binding firm; Antone Gonsalves, a professor at the University of Georgia; and a young man whose name I did not catch, but who stuck to me like a leech for the rest of the evening and talked like a radio announcer all through dinner.

“This is a funny class,’’ he said, helping himself to sauer- kraut; “‘you’d laugh if you knew what some of these people do for a living. Take Marjorie Paine, for instance; she writes bed- time stories about Johnny Rabbit and Peter Skunk and all the other survivors of the lynching of Thornton W. Burgess; or Dag- mar Potter, who makes use of her natural taste for coffee and tries out sample cups for Chase & Sanborn; or Dolpha LeVallee, who makes false teeth with springs on them to pull them back if they come out in the conversation; or Florence Baratz, who is a yodeler in a Swiss Village at the Berlin Exposition; or Jimmy Dean, who runs the big spaghetti reel at Heinz’s. And that isn’t all, either; there’s Joseph Paulino, who goes on the air at seven- thirty every morning, giving setting-up exercises; and Catherine McDonald—she poses for photographs used in advertising Chipso and all that stuff; and Christabel Dow, one of the girls who bends pretzels in Reading, Pennsylvania; or Doris Putnam, who is the author of numerous books and articles on snake- charming; and Aime Tetrault, who’ll never get rich being a pro- fessional Pen Pal; and Paul Horowitz, who tastes caviar at the Waldorf Cafeteria in Boston; and John Riley, who’s a hairdresser

66 THE QUADRENNIAL

in St. Clair’s shop in Cambridge; Sophie Piekielniak, a beef-soup mixer; and Clara Milovitch, an ambitious girl who stuffs maca- roni; and Mildred Malick, who is a chamber-maid on a coal- scow; and Margaret Hesford, who is head of a firm specializing in ginger snaps. But the prize of the bunch is Joseph Fontes, who is the night-watchman in a police station.”’

“Pardon me,” I interrupted, “but who is that fellow at the next table who just fell asleep over his soup?”

“That’s Leonard Stone. He is—hbhelieve this or not—the president and founder of an Early-to-Rise Club.”’

“T see. And the chap who is trying to wake him up without spilling the soup?”

“Oh, that’s Edgar Taber. He runs a nursing home for poodles.”’

Here the ice cream was served, and my neighbor was too busy to talk for a couple of minutes. At length he untangled himself and once more began to tell me about his class. “Just because some members of our class haven’t turned out so well, you needn’t think that we’re all like that. Why, some of my class-mates have risen to great heights. You know, Ikey Alberts is a flag-pole sitter. And Emelia Tomasik was a parachute jumper. Exhibitions, you know. I say ‘was’ because a few weeks ago she tried a jump and the chute didn’t open. She was a nice kid, though. Good to the last drop.”

“Excuse me,”’ said I, trying to get him away from such sad subjects, “but who is that gentleman with the whiskers sitting over there to the left?”’

“That’s Eddie Dziubczyk. He’s a coming sensation in Holly- wood—as an apeman. That ankle of his still bothers him a little in climbing trees, though. That serious looking fellow behind him, trying to pick his pocket, is Webster Brown. He’s a member of the Inner Council of the League of Nations, but he has to get a living somehow.”

Mr. Mendelson arose to make the usual speech. ‘Before I make any further remarks,” he said, “I would like to read a few letters from some of our class-mates who, because of the great distance which separates us from them—or them from us— are unable to be here, and consequently cannot be present. The first is from Jeanette Milette and Eleanor Williams, who, as you know, with Jimmy Fox are now quite a famous musical trio The next is from Ellsworth McAfee and Hovle Demoranville, our ivory hunters in Africa. And then we have one from Annie Squires, who is a missionary in China, and from Margaret Rice, who lives in Fairhaven, and Rodrique Lussier, who is busy seeing that the leaning Tower of Pisa doesn’t lean too far 3


“Very interesting,’ remarked my neighbor. “If it’s ivory they want, they won’t have to look far. But you know, there are more of us who have stayed in New Bedford than have gone to China or anywhere else. It’s a peaceful life, but you live longer. You know, Edith Swift is a torch-singer, and Harold Phillips is living a hectic life out in Westport—assistant post- master. Gordon Simmons is a quiet old bachelor who makes a living writing anti-feminist articles for the American Mercury. Barbara Russell writes scandal for the Standard—a very difficult job. Titonio Oliveira is a peanut-vendor. Trefton Soucy is president of the New Bedford local of the Steam-Fitters’ Union. Lillian Cushman leads a thrilling existence as librarian in the public library. Albert Doras is the star of the local soccer team. Johnny Spencer is a piano-tuner. And Alice Sharrock is still running the old place out in Freetown—it must be her Scotch blood that holds her there—and takes the old bus into town once or twice a year, just to see what the city folk are doing. Ray Sanderson has taken Mr Lawrence’s place as janitor at the high school and sleeps on a bench in the boy’s locker room, to save rent. Alice Souza is the efficient house-keeper of a rich old duck who’s going to leave her all his money. James McQuilkin is a horse doctor—but, of course, there aren’t any horses any more, even in New Bedford. Eva Harrison is wrestling instructor at the Godreau School. Blanche Fowkes is the girls’ gym teacher at the high school. Elmer Fricker is teaching in a kindergarten. Lorella Francis is the companion of an old lady living on School Street. John Rapoza drives a fish wagon—and David Hewitt is the only red-headed street cleaner in the city. Minnie Cohen is a florist. Walter Mitchell still keeps calm and cool, all right. He’s an ice-man. And Doran Bertram—

“Hold on,” I said. “I don’t know any of these people. Besides, I want to hear what Mr. Mendelson is saying.”’

My neighbor was not in the least offended. He looked at me solemnly and remarked, very simply, “Mr. Doe, I’d like to shake your hand. But—as I was saying—Bertram is still at the high school, taking a P. G. in bookkeeping and hoping to pass OS™ EST Sie rad

A gray-haired man who had been sitting on the president’s right here struggled to his feet to say a few words. ‘‘That fellow looks pretty rocky,” I said. ‘‘Who is he?”

“Oh, that’s Boris Yucht. After completing his third year at Oxford he found that he was completely broke—so he sent his photograph in to the Kiss-Proof Lipstick Company and landed a job as demonstrator. He’s made a fortune, but he’s paid tor it.

The speeches were over and everybody went up to the ball- room to dance. I danced in turn with Miss Annie Holderness, who told me in confidence that she was an agent for Columbia

68 THE QUADRENNIAL

bicycles in Minneapolis; Mrs. Gompers, nee Francis Bryant, who is the wife of a soap manufacturer; a chorus girl named Mary Cardoza; a trapeze artist, Edith Walton; the charming Miss Dorothy Laycock, hostess at an exclusive club; Bertha Michaud, a history teacher from Atlanta; Florence Simpson, who runs a hostelery known as the Bed Lamp; and Ellen Askew, the author of six books on Asiatic history. While resting my feet, I met an acquaintance of mine, a gigolo by the name of Edward Feeney, and asked him what he knew about the class.

“T graduated in it,’’ he answered.

“You did? Then tell me—who is that bloated capitalist over there—the man with the gold watch chain and the twenty- five-cent cigar?”

“That’s Ozores Perry. I know him by sight. He made all his money in oil speculation; now he spends all of his time speaking on behalf of the Anti-Saloon League. That fellow with him is his chauffeur—Clayton Taylor.”

Here my friend of the dinner table barged in and started to stoke me up again. ‘‘Ah, here you are. I just wanted tell you—you needn’t think that all of our class are loafers. Now, Florence Perry—she works hard enough—masseuse in a beauty parlor, you know. And Cecelia Reilly, the prominent social relief worker—they call her that because the poor people are relieved when—Oh, yes, and Genoefa Barylski—she fulfilled a life-long ambition when she became a nurse in a college in- firmary, where she could tend the football heroes. Amy Perry, too, is coming up in the world—she’s a rising young elevator girl. Ellen Carpenter—surely you’ve heard of her—but they call her June Eastman out in Hollywood. Helen Souza is out there, too, double for Greta Garbo—in character parts, of course. Bill Tinkham is now president of the Fairy Soap Corporation. And Alice Lawless is living in New York—she’ll make the Four Hundred after shooting only fifteen more heiresses. Hammond Bender—surely you’ve heard of the Bender Triple-Wing-Back System’? He invented the backward pass and will be head coach at Notre Dame starting next season. Vic Ulewicz is a matron in a reform school and Rose Loftus is her assistant. Dick Lapienski is top sergeant of the wooden soldiers. And the school-mistress: Helen Baumann, the head of an exclusive seminary in Connecticut, and Irene Comeau, with her Krippled Kiddies’ Home. There’s service for you!”

I did a quick sneak and got into a conversation with two serious-looking young men, partners in an undertaking firm, to whom I had been introduced earlier in the evening: Stan Gorzelnick and Zig Machowski—but even here the talk of the achievments of the class-mates with whom I was not acquainted followed me. They were talking about a new brushless-lather- less-razorless-shaveless shaving cream which a man named

—


Milton Sylvia had invented. They talked also about Theodore Szala, a prize fighter who had risen to the championship on a diet of spinach and milk; it seems he had married a classmate, Louise Condez. And of Frank Wrigley, known to all radio and screen fans.

, “Greetings,” said a cheerful voice at my ear. ‘“‘Yes—as I

was saying, some people seemed handicapped by their names. You’d know right away that Alice Ecomomos would become a budget expert, or Bertha Bury, marry an undertaker, or Hilda Bolton a nut manufacturer. But look at Henry Kasup. Did he become a chili sauce salesman? Not much! He put his football training to work and now he’s a steeple jack—catches red-hot rivets in a bucket, you know. And Orpha Demers—she went back on her name, and became a yes-woman in Hollywood.

“Many of our class, though, have turned out to be just what we thought they would. Carl Thompson is a barker on a sight- seeing bus, Jack Wishnesky isa collar salesman, Nellie Corrigan is a matron in the House of Correction, John Gannon is a Pekingese doctor, Robert Townsend is a tight-rope walker, Genevieve Wroblinski is an artists’ model, Edward Mulally is a doorman at the Savoy-Plaza—opens taxicab doors most of the time, Norman Gomes is the drum-major in the Salva- tion Army, Roland Hall is a waiter, Beatrice Roderick is becoming an old maid with a swell collection of parrots, Alfred Perry is a pansy cultivator, Edna Hargraves is an under-secretary in the republic of Patagonia, and Carmelia Rogers is a worker for the W. C. T. U. But who would have thought that Berenice Borden would turn out to be a lecturer on biology, or Helena Pietryka a snake-charmer, or Flo Corvelo a sugar-bowl-filler at Child’s, or Mary Viera a fish-frier at the Shanghai Restaurant? Why should Lillie Gifford be an evangelist, any more than Zephir Cormier should become a prize-fight announcer, happily married to Edna Duffy? Or Helen Weston the ghost writer of Mickey Mouse’s autobiography? And, last of all, Russell Armitage— he still blushes, but why should one of retiring temperament choose to flop wheat-cakes in the window of a Greasy-Spoon res- taerant:: Ah such-is Fate’ ......-’

’

“Pardon me,’’ said one of the hotel flunkies, “but we have to close this place up for the night. Really, we can’t keep the lights going just for the benefit of two of you.”

We looked about us, and behold, there was no one with us. The Great Reunion of 1946 was over, and the members of the class of °34 had started back to the four corners of the globe. My friend and I left the hotel and started for the railroad station. “What, may I ask, do you do for a living?” I inquired. ‘You seem to know all about the others.”’

“Oh, I do,” he modestly agreed. “I’ve succeeded in a small

70 THE QUADRENNIAL

way. Of course, when I think of the success of some of the others—Allan Lilley is a light-house-keeper—he shows his musical talent by tooting the fog-horn, Irving Kestenbaum is becoming a second Roscoe Ates, Arthur Howe is a motor-cycle racer but never wins because he learned driving cows home in Free- town, Helen Hahn is nurse in a naval hospital, George Tetrault works in a tin-soldier factory, Octave Masse is a fitter in a department store in New Bedford, Valeria Volanska is a school teacher, William Welsh is a salesman, sells pork-chops in Jeru- salem and Rose Roderiques is his assistant. William Abeshaus married Marjorie Adams, and is making a million out of sausage- meat—it makes me look small. Of course, Bill started out in a small way—town dog-catcher—but he has succeeded. Gerard Aillery, too, has done well—general secretary to the national executive board of the Y. W. C. A.,—and not only that, but Ida Colwell is gym instructor in a seminary. Joan Karcmarcyk is now a famous authority on fashions, with shops all over the world.”’

“Dknow, .Usaldy. Dutewioat.do vourd0 2

He seemed not to hear me. “I was afraid that I’d never find the perfect job,’ he sighed. “There was Audrey Newell, who ran an escalator, Walter Izdebski, who became the first ambassador to Little America, Milton Horvitz building up a great business in second-hand cars, starting in with that sport model peanut roaster of his; Elmer Green, working his way up from a deck-hand to the captaincy of the coal barge Spray, Art Crapo raising the longest moustach in the world and making money on the side by scrubbing floors at two bits an hour, Basil Keches, who was a fire-warden in an asbestos factory, Lois Clark, who was barber to the House of David, Mary St. Aubin, who has been teaching dancing, and William Bean, who is night-watchman in the Simmons Beauty Rest Mattress Factory. Yvonne Paul measures the holes in the doughnuts at a factory, Phyllis Rounsevell is still picking up eggs out in the sticks, but best of all was the job Edmund Terra had—census taker on Nomans Land. But all of these jobs required some light labor. At length I found what I was looking for—the job which required no exhausting concentration, involved no mental fatigue, and plenty of time for leisure.”’

“Whatisirny

“It’s in a hot-house. You see—there’s a century plant there—and every time it blooms, I strike a gong twice.”

“T see. But doesn’t it ever get monotonous?”

“Oh, no—I have my knitting. Besides, I have an assistant— Eleanor Petterson. She holds the gong and my ball of yarn.” And an ecstactic look appeared on his face. ‘“‘We’re thinking of


getting married in a couple of years—but there’s plenty of time to think of that. But really, I must leave you now. So happy to have known you.”

“Oh, quite. By the way—lI seem to have forgotten your name.”

“Duckworth—John Duckworth. Well, good-by!’’ With a farewell of the hand, he vanished into the night.

I hope he stays there. Or, better, I hope the century plant bloomed while he was away.

Such in brief, was the reunion of 1946. I have had quite enough for the present; but I would like to come back later, in 1960 perhaps, and see what further changes time has made in this remarkable group of people.
