The Senior Procrastinator Dick Brossman. Managing Editor February 30. 1950 Picture Wins Prize! Mr. Richard “Dick’’ Bross-man’s picture of the wreckage of the S. S. Skidoo. published in the San Francisco Daily Examiner, was voted the most startling news photograph of 1950. “‘Dick’' is the “Flying - newspaper - reporter-photographer’’ of the “Frisco Examiner. The wreck occurred in the Atlantic but Bob Scott relayed his S. O. S. to Dick and he left the west coast immediately. He was the first newspaper reporter to arrive at the scene of the disaster. He set a new transcontinental record flying from San Francisco to New York City in 4 hours, 45 minutes. 32 seconds. o-----o Popson Receives Prize Miss Margaret Popson received a prize for her vivid description of the effects of the new beverage “7 Double Up.” She recounted her personal experiences. Her fiance. Robert Swineford. discovered it while working in his chemical laboratory. He became so disgusted with the non-effects of his experiments that he decided to commit suicide by drinking a concoction consisting of arsenic and soda, which he had just made. Miss Popson has described the effects of this amazing beverage in her startling “Science Marches On. o-----o Outstanding Find Leo “Pee Wee’’ Rowan of Brookville has just been signed by the Pittsburgh Pirates. “Pee Wee” has been catching for the Brookville Indies. Russell Harriger, who found him. says that he is the biggest find in years, and that he will join the club immediately. Polygamist Hogtied Climaxing the series of events in the present social season is the arraigning in court of Mr. Robert Fulton. “ The Cinderella Man,’’ on charges of polygamy. His wives in the order of their acquisition are Miss Julia Nyland. playing first violin; Miss Louise Reid, second fiddle, and Miss Doris Kauf-mann, third viola. Mr. Fulton deserves renown for “stringing along” such a trio of “women about town.’’ Credit for discovering this quadrilateral acquaintance is due to Mr. George Welton of the Welton Detective Agency, who operated under the impetus of Mrs. Fulton II. apparently the most suspicious of the group. Mr. Fulton acquired his preliminary spouse. Miss Nyland. in 1947. Complications arose, when in December, 1949. Miss Louise Reid became the second Mrs. Fulton. Last June. Miss Kaufmann. a social highlight of the 1949 season, married the then most eligible “catch. The newly uncovered or perhaps we should say, recently “dug up” Mr. Fulton was considered at that time to be the most promising of the “400“ stag line. The counsel for the defense is that famous law firm of Law and Law. Messrs. Robert and Donald. The case beginning Oct. 18 will be conducted under the gavel of James Armagost. a long established barrister. o------o Imogene Cable, divorcee of Georg: Welton. has been confined to her home with romantic-fever. Partnership Dissolved The partnership of Miss Alice Matson and Mr. Jack Lowry of chemical research fame has ended leaving an unsettled state of affairs. It appears that Miss Matson in her position as chief synthesizer had concocted a solution capable of making gold from cement and had characteristically neglected to record the formula. Enraged by her forgetfulness Mr. Lowry attempted to submerge his partner in sulphuric acid and she returned his attentions by singeing him with a Bunsen burner. The police entered the scene in time to save the establishment from complete disintegration. They are now languishing in the Church Street cooler, detained for disturbing the peace. o------o Local Editor Leaves Weedville. Feb. 28.—Mr. Patrick Rowan, a graduate of the Brookville high school was made the editor of the largest Weedville newspaper, at a recent meeting of the board of directors. “Pat” is well qualified for the job. being sports reporter for the “Brookville American” during his high school years and serving as its editor for the past eight years. Mrs. Rowan. formerly Arda Ripple, will join Pat here the first of next week. o------o Championship Bout Dale Schrcckengost. chief contender for the lightweight crown, will meet his brother, Dave, tonight in the main bout on Jack McFadden’s all-star card at the Palace. This is Dave’s first defense of his title, and fans think he will be kept busy by his twin brother.
