It's Helen, this time, as the barred door clangs open. Helen is visiting the Island, in a formal and all. It seems she was one of the wealthy soclalites arrested in the Hippopot- amus Club raid, a few hours ago. The reunion is complete with the grand entrance of two familiar figures. Madame LaVerne Stahlecker, and Countess Marione Wacker-DuPo1s, 125 Street hat designers. The two ladies are here for 'borrowingu the patented designs of Pierre of Parse. The evening is spent recalling old acquaintances, and talking over the nGood Old Dsysu in BHS. It has been a reunion to be long remembered, and the members of the famous class of '50 enjoy seeing each other once again after 25 years. No one can tell when or where the next reunion will be, but the spirit of friendly fellowship that held the old group together still remains. Senior Class Wi I I We, the Seniors, being in sound state both mentally and physically and having given deep thought to our treasured rights, which we now bequeath to our fellow sufferers, the un- derclassmen, do here and now stamp our foot and sign our hand to this the LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT of the sober and steady Seniors of '50, on this day of our Lord, May nineteenth, nine teen hundred and fifty.

Hostesses of the event are Betty Q? Lenhardt and nM1ll1en Adler. Betty, it .ef ay seems had a fine business, that of making cgfizzlp fd books on flea races, until nLester the , Jestern seemed to think it wasn't within the law. Mildred was the queen of a world- Q,e wide underground movement to gain control Agar gg C of the Vigoro Hair Restorern market. W Q-'s Been here since April, remarks Mrs. ' Hanna. Virginia Gerard and Shirley Oberdick, next door neighbors have been here for quite some time. Shirley was supervisor in the infamous robbery of the uM1tey Mite Reducing Pilln factory. Virginia, old 837485746 is biding her time, thinking over the events of her illustrious career, that of flirting with bus drivers, sometimes delaying a bus five or six hours. While they are talking, in the door appear Willie Kauffman and Reuben Reisbeck, Men of Distinction on the local scene. They are old timers, having been here for 24 years ll months and 50 days. After their graduation in '50, they went to work in the LaSalle Pickle Works, instituted a riot there, and have enjoyed the fellowship in Alcatraz ever since. 'Why 1t's old Pete! He was once here for petty robbery several years ago, wasn't he?' asks Mrs. Hanna. Pete really hit big time though, now. His latest accomplishment is the sale of 'Gold bricks at the bargain price of 32.49 each. He is accompanied by a friend, Ruth Ostermlller. Miss Ostermiller has made a career of embezzeling bank clerks. A saddened figure appears in the doorway. With head bowed, Niel Klehn walks into the cell. Mr. Klehn awaits trial on the third of next month for robbing other men's castles. Following close on his heels is Marjorie Johnson. Marjor1e's name appeared in all the gossip columns a few weeks ago when she was arrested while driving under the influence of Grapette. Admiral Don Conklin, better known as uF1ght1ng Doonu, stalks through the doorway. He is dressed in the Naval Prison garb. Don, it seems went AWOL while serving on the battleship Missouri. Bill Deshler, the famous 'Tex Nix' of professional football, sits forelornly in the corner. His thoughts, no doubt, are on the bribe he accepted in the recent East-West Game. Donna Adams, who many probably have heard of as the gest- est soprano of the Metropolitan opera, joins the happy group. Donna is residing on the 'RockU, because of her demanding that women's suffrage be abolished. She was arrested after having been chained to the White House, for six weeks. 'ee It looks as if the whole class will ggg be here, for who appears now is none other ,RQY Jji than LnVonne Zeller. LaVonne is deposited :17,pr0 'f4,, in the cell by a guard who tells us that E . the young lady has made a habit of cdlect- - -g ing Ford Convertibles. Poor Dean McGa:'t- I ney, better known as 8584769, has a few . ,C L ...Z years yet to serve. His arrest followed 'F' ' his apprehension in Reno, trapped as a bigamist. lu
