JULY 3-Oh boy, Oh boy! Diary, I have a ticket for the Yale-Notre Dame game next fall! Advance work, isn't it? I noticed that Coach Baugher and his wife, Elinor, have just returned home in time for the coach to start drilling his Irishmen. JULY 23-Oh, dear, diary! This has turned out to a monthly periodical. But I have been touring the nearby states. I stayed for a week at the University of Chicago, and saw Emma Walmer. She's a teacher of English there. Next week I'm going on another tour- to Washington this time. AUGUST 20-Back again, and am I tired, Diary? I visited all points of interest in our country's capitol. I spent several days investigating the patent office. I saw a model for a collapsible house invented by Albert Lingle, a garage which can be converted into a shower bath, which was invented by Lloyd Raffensparger, and Paul Shaifer's new type of printing press. Quite an array of inventions from the class of '3Z. AUGUST 22-I-Io hum, diary. Not long now before I go back to the daily grind. But as a last fling I attended the races at Altoona-and those were some races, diary! By the way, that red headed speed demon, Wilbur Shank, sped away with a first place, diary! Also the fat prize that goes with it. I-Ie,s a daring boy. SEPTEMBER 2-Everyone is returning to his teaching position, diary. There is quite a list, as I note in a letter I just received from Mildred Zimmerman. Zimmie is returning to her post as Head of Women's Athletics in the University of Pennsylvania. Joseph I-Ienry, you know, is the Men's Coach. She also tells me that Q'Beno Robertson, star basketball player of the American Basketball League, having just returned from his honeymoon, has taken Clarence Jeffries under his wing and is grooming him for a position on the team. SEPTEMBER 18-I wish I were in Washington now, diary, instead of plugging away over the old desk top. Anna Erdman, advocate of women's rights, has been selected as head of the committee which is to present Professor Frederick I-Iesse with a medal for distinguished service. Professor Hesse has just topped his chemical discoveries with a face powder which will not rub off on dark blue suits. OCTOBER 9-I had a week off, diary, and I spent it in Pittsburgh. I visited Mabel Espenshade, who is a secretary in an Insurance Company there. She took me to the Palatial Park Auditorium, where I saw Porter Cline, winner of the 1942 Olympic Racing contest, presented with a silver loving cup. We also heard Ruth Keener in a violin recital of her first composition. It was a lovely number. On the way home I saw that famous inter- national hitch-hiker, Jay I-Ialdeman. NOVEMBER 4-I,ve had a long period of work to make up for that vacation, diary, but tonight I stayed home and rested. Oh, yes, by the way, I noticed in the society column, that Miss Mary Pelino and Mrs. Eleanor fWolfeJ Stuckey visited Mr. Stuckey's newest giant print shop in Bering, Alaska. They just returned yesterday. NOVEMBER 13-This date isn't unlucky to Bernard Aurentz. I-Ie has just received the 500 thousand dollar reward offered by the Besto Cigar Company for the invention of an ashless cigar. And just think! They had to wait until 1942 to do it! NOVEMBER Z8-A new shop just opened a block from here today. Itis a hairdressing establishment-the Esbenshade and Shank Hairdressing Shoppe. They are my old friends, Anna and Reba. They did a wonderful job on my hair. DECEMBER 19-One of our old classmates has achieved fame and notoriety at the same time. George Trump, as I see by the scandal sheet, has secured his fifth divorce on the eve of the invention of a new process permanent hair-waving machine. DECEMBER 22-Well, in the midst of all this Christmas shopping, I took time enough to run down to the station with a friend of mine to see that popular Broadway star, John Gruber, who made such a success in Heartbreaker, returning to his old home town for the Christmas holidays. On the way home I called on Gladys Rumpf. Gladys, you know, diary, is recuperating from a nervous breakdown caused by the activities in which she indulges. Besides her married life and housework, she is engaged in singing and piano concerts, church work, local talent productions, and social life. She told me she will give everything up, here- after, except her home. And so it goes! Forty-six

DIARY-THE SENIOR CLASS IN 1942 MARCH 2-Dear Diary, Well, we have started out right. I wandered down by the railroad station today and surely was surprised to see a crowd bidding farewell to Marion Colangelo. Marion, you know, is leaving today for Hollywood, where she will star in the new production, Jealous Wivesf' opposite Tony Gravino, who has been called the new Clark Gable. Isn't it thrill- ing? MARCH 6-Here's news, diary. Leroy Snyder, who is building the Snyder Industrial School for Girls, has awarded the contracts for construction to several young men. Francis Lengle is to be the general architect, and Myles Bomgardner is to supervise the carpentry work in the building. Joe Gowdy has been selected as head of the school. Quite a worthy occupation, isn't it, diary? Oh, yes, and Charles Emerick is head of the steel construction work. MARCH 20-One member of the class of 1932 is a heroine, today. Edith Menicheschi has received the 85,000 reward offered by the Reese's Chocolate Corporation for the appre- hension and capture of the person who broke into the office of the General Manager, Robert Evans. APRIL 8-There are some lapses in this account, diary, but I have been very busy. Most of the time I spent in the big community gymnasium, where I saw Barr Snavely and Paul Wenrich instructing Anna and Lorraine in the finer arts of basketball. April 16-Other members of the class of '32 will be shocked to learn this, diary. Sue Landis has deserted the stage at last and wedding bells are ringing for her today. APRIL 21-Nothing much to do today. I wandered down by the park pool and watched the goldfish, then went over to the skating rink. I'm glad to see Hester Gish has learned how to skate correctly at last, right side up. MAY 4-What do you think, diary? I am invited to be a guest at the General Elec- tric banquet to be held tomorrow night. So Iive mended my best, and I'm all ready to go. MAY '5-Oh, dear, what a perfect night. Russel Singer, the famous electrician, and his wife were present. Guests of honor, too. Am I sleepy? Oh, ho-hum---. MAY 12-I was at the hospital today to visit Ken Brown. Oh, yes, diary, I forgot to tell you. Ken broke his arm yesterday while polishing a soda fountain counter at the Brown- Adams Confectionery Co. Carlos Adams and Ken own it. Yes, they make a nice profit on it. MAY 18-Dearldiaryl Imagine it! Robert Brenberger, who is running for president, is known as The Calvin Coolidge of 1942l', That's because he says so little. I read it in tonightis paper. MAY 27-Two members of my old class have attained fame in the business world. I just heard an announcement over the radio that Lois Bretz was chosen America's Ideal Stenographerf' and also that Sara Rhoads won the 1942 Gregg Championship. The reward is a trip to Spain and France for both. Lucky girls, diary. MAY 31--I just saw in a News Reel that at the latest convention of the Associated Press Board, Boyd Sponaugle was chosen president, Estella Eby as official artist, Warren Ebersole and Kenneth Rupp as Chief Heads of the Printing Departments, and Webster Fox as Chief Sport Writer. JUNE 5-Oh, me. Romance everywhere, diary, in the month of brides. The society column tells me that Eva Petrucci just became the blushing bride of a Yale professor, and Mr. William Shively and his wife, Dorothy, just landed in New York today after an extended tour of Europe and Asia. JUNE 17-Received a letter from the Hyland Manufacturing Company and went to their offices to see the president of the company, William Hyland. His secretary informed me that he had at last yielded, to one of the many baseball teams clamoring to contract him, and was, at -present, a the training field. One of my old classmates-and quite an athlete! JUNE 18-I saw a splendid picture of Harold Kern, head of the Kern Kandy Kom- pany in the Daily Bugle. It was taken by the Bugle's chief photographer, Charles W. Hippie. F orty-jive
