JUNE, 1950:
The other day I received the following invitation:

Dear Miss Stephens:

The Alumni of the Senior Class of 1940 are g1vmg a GetTogether Party in Hotel Lincoln in Ellicottville next Friday night at 8 o'clock. Please come.

I was in New York City at the time, g1vmg a program of songs at Radio City. The next day I boarded the airplane for Buffalo. I was surprised to find some of my school friends on the airplane going to Ellicottville. There was William Lowry, the owner of the Transcontinental Airlines with headquarters in New York. Marian Lowry, who holds the position of head hostess on his airlines, was with him. James Fox, also on the plane, is now a famed corporation lawyer.

When we arrived at Ellicottville the rest of the class was at the hotel. After a fine dinner, we renewed acquaintances.

The Duhan twins are both commercial teachers, one in the Salamanca High School and the other in Ellicottville High School. Margery Hughey is a model in a prominent Pittsburgh shop. Elizabeth White is nursing in a hospital in Chicago.

Joe Ward, Vincent Nannen, Edward Jedrzejek and Paul Rust are all farmers around Ellicottville. Mary Hakes lives with her husband on a farm in Great Valley. Mary Nannen, who has been a secretary for a lawyer in a near-by town, plans to be married soon.

Lois Lawler has gained fame by her organ recitals over WKBW, Buffalo. Richard Hintz is a radio technician for the same station. I found out that the announcer for WGRKW (sic) was Neil Albright.

William Pomplun, after studying political science at home and abroad, has recently been attached to the diplomatic corps at Berlin, Germany.

John Balasis is an accountant for the Bethlehem Steel Company. Mavis Bixby is now married and lives in Ellicottville. She was formerly a secretary for a Salamanca firm. Lucille Loveless has just closed her private kindergarten to get married. Jean Kiley is also married and lives in Buffalo.

After an enjoyable evening, we went back to the hum-drum, work-aday world.
