there’s milk in them there critters, and I aims to make my fortune gittin’ it!” With that, she glared down at him over her spectacles, and went her merry way. NATALIE RIECKS was now the owner of many “little, black books,” as the result of her switchboard operating experience. Her boss, GEORGE NUTTING, has become quite perturbed at her ability to listen in on male calls. “Hot Rod” SMITH was caught entering his dilapidated “midget” in the races for next week. Last year he won a broken leg and a pushed- in-“puss.” His nurse, MARY O’CONNELL, did her best to reform him, but Ed is sure he has a bright future. Prof. PAUL HENNESSEY and his assistants, RUTH WEAVER and CLARA JOYCE, were taking off to the Moon to try to persuade MAE and JUNE “To be practical and come home to their husbands.” It would seem that the females up there can’t be made quite so charmingly, for these two girls have the men simply enchanted! There were sighs from the girls. You bet they wouldn’t come home! “Silly goops,” grunted Mr. Lynch disgustedly. ‘Go home and take a shower.” KAY SULLIVAN, GEORGE HALLENBORG, and MURIEL CROUSE were managing their own private enterprise, and were com- monly known as the “Sitters.” They guaranteed never a dull evening for anyone from 6 to 60. They were just the ones who could do it, too! As the class watched, they saw the now famous Boston Road, with the great lighting system on the JOHN THURSBY Theatre. The show featured PEGGY FORBES, DOROTHY HOLDEN, and the handsome DOUGLAS CUMMINGS, in the tremendous hit “Cummings’ Attractions.” A little farther along the road was a large French restaurant. Over the door was a sign, “Le CAPOBIANCO and Sons’ Chicken Restau- rant.” Today’s menu consisted of chicken, chicken soup, and chicken a la king. Believe it or not, the chief chef was the great GORDON GURNEY. Sauntering in the door was the lovely PAT HALL, wearing an expen- sive fur coat. She was now the wife of a very rich and accomplished ar- tist, RICHARD WOLF. In the back- ground the charming JESSIE FRO- BESE was singing on the stage with the whole symphony orchestra behind her. Across the street was the ME- GOW Hardware Store, where quite a crowd had gathered to listen to Ludolf play his violin. In the adjoining edi- fice PHYLLIS CATERINO and MAR- JORIE RICHARDS were giving an impressive demonstration on how to blow green suede bubbles. At that there was a blood- curdling noise from the “deus ex machina.” It croaked, groaned, and quaked as if it were taking a fit! Then, to the unbelieving ears of the students, the contraption cried: “I-I can’t take any more. Let me die!” “When things start falling out all over the floor, there must be truth to the adage that the Class of 1950 is really powerful,’ thought Mr. Lynch, as he choked over his fifth hot dog!
