ML jak, f. DOL af 1957 Sorry, Ma'm, the bus is full. Next tour at 4:00. The sightseeing guide hopped into the bus and shouted. OK, Iean, let's get rolling. So Miss Ferriot stepped on the gas and the sightseers were finally on their tour of Buchtelberg, California. To your right is the residence of the Hartensteins, Bob and Rae, the former Miss Yelverton. On the opposite side is the home of Christine Hall, now Mrs. Dick Rossett. We are now approaching Peterson's Paladium where Boyd Barker occupies the position of head bouncer. The Paladium is now featuring Patsy Pace's orchestra with Reno Allesio at the drums and Nancy Smith at the piano playing her famous version of Deep Purple. Other acts include vocalist Olga Koss. Pat Nelandar and lohnny Coy, famous dancers, and Don The Voice Khoenle, doing a duet with Gloria Burnette. And here we see Sacks Cinema where Nonnie's Blackouts of '52 is breaking all records. You can hear Ioan Vernotzy singing her tiresome rendition of Mammy and see the world's most beautiful chorus girls: Gloria Ryan, Jean Ender- lein, Helen Dossett, Carol Boedicker, Ieanne Davis, Audrey Faulkner, Bette Davis, Marilyn Fisher. and Wanda Hurley. By the way, folks, if you happen to see some of our better citizens picking up sales tax stamps, it's just Agnes Park. Eleanor Forte, and Nan Sumner, who are still trying to paper their homes with sales tax stamps. Now if you'll stretch your neck to the right, you'll view the charming E1 Monera , run by Anne Guth, Rosemary Griffith. and Anne Patsy. Employed here is the famous palmist and hypnotist, Estelle Polevoi. What's this? Estelle is trying to cast a spell over Betty Vaughn because Betty knows too much. What do you say we stop in and find out what some ot our old friends are doing now? l see by my little crystal ball. says Estelle. that many Buchtelbergers are not satisfied with Buchtelberg. Fred Deiss is in Switzerland: Betty Lou Evans, in Chicago: Pat Taylor lives on a farm in Pennsylvania: Sara Thompson, in Wick- liftef' Between blushes, Estelle continues, Dick Baumgartner is a traveling salesman and Nancy Taylor is now in Hawaii. '-X. Mike Gazella is in a town called Akron, where he has taken over Mr. Cabell's job. Windy Romweber is selling ice-boxes in Alaska. From the look of things, business isn't so hot. The crystal is becoming dim, but I can still see Margie Galat, Leona Hippley, Erika Schmidt and Miriam Wetzel as suc- cessful secretaries. But the cream of the crop is Ruth Rauch, who appears as St. Peter's secretary. lncidentally, the tea shoppe was designed by Marily Schwab. Beverly Helper and Selma Kopkin are employed here as psychologists. Say, isn't that Mary Alice Weller Cshe's playing a trom- boneh and Wanda Rowe serving the socialites June Swing. Natalie Conrad and Ioanne Elwood? Looks like these three are making ready to go to the wrestling matches where Kast-Iron Kastner, better known as Ellen Kastner, is wrestling Crusher-Crutcher, who are under the training of Gary Griffith and Al Flickinger, respectively. The wrestlers perform their art to the strains of Tootie Neiss's newly organized combo. lf we hurry, we can catch the golf matches where Pat Murphy, Tom Chapman, Ianet Marr and Dick Paige are vying for top honors in the National Golf Tournament. which wis won last year by Iane Shaw. Howard Poarch and Fran': Pfahl are still trying. Famous in the field of golf as Caddies are Dick Ransweiler, Emerson Clark, and Eugene Krug. This is a common sight---it's Anne Colley, Marty Iones, Carol Mahan and Eleanor Somody hitch-hiking to Arabia to visit Marriane Iones. Maybe we should tell them there's an ocean. We are now approaching Millionaire Square, where you'll find the mansions ot Lois Schnitzler, Ierry Schneiderman, Dolores Oliver, lack lost, Dave Roth, Karl Neuwirth, and Dave Schmitz. The medieval castle in the middle belongs to Barbara Leatherman. lt's now being used as a prison, where Lois Gill will end her life of crime. They caught up with her when she was holding up Iim Mair's jewelry shop. Barbara Hood, Lois's cell mate, was taken in for illegitimate bootlegging. Ethel Stofer was punished for heading a com- IContinued on Page 373 . 4 ir
