1942 Senior Class Ten Years Later Parade Notes
A pastiche column on a Fifth Avenue parade celebrating 1942 senior class members from Martha Anin Alexander to Admiral Wallace Beene. It catalogs fame, careers, and marriages from theatre to industry, naming numerous individuals and their achievements while wryly noting the collage of cities, loaned cars, and Hollywood ties. The piece ends with a playful disclaimer about resemblance to real events.
