A 'E ' mtfil, GW f YM? Ivx! !! ,sig I I X 1 A I r i Q V 1 q tsl' yfff I The bulldog edition had iust gone to bed. As the weary-eyed Night Editor settled slowly back in his toil-worn chair, I tapped lightly on the door and entered. Hi, De Horn. How are you? came the familiar greeting of twenty years ago. Take the load off your feet. It was Bill McGowan, my old school chum. This is a surprise. Where have you been hiding, Bill, you old son of o gun? I haven't seen you since the day we left the hallowed halls of old G.H.S. Bill glanced at his desk calendar absent- mindedly. June 4, 1965. Something of a coincidence, isn't it? Twenty years ago today Alma Mater relucantly presented us those pre- cious sheepskins. Remember the old days. You used to bum bus tokens and sandwiches from me. And now you're the president of the bank. What's this I hear about your swinging a deal to buy Rogers High School? What will you use it for, a race track? I thought we should have some place in which children of our former classmates could spend their idle. time. Take the LEN PIERRE HOERNER family for example,-five boys and five girls. Pierre is vice-president of Calkins Manufacturing Company. Say, Mac, what do you know about the rest of our former inmates, or should I say cIassmates? My iob keeps me up on all the celebrities. Why, JIM BARTEL has a page in our Sunday supplement. He grows potatoes with blue eyes -two hundred and fify acres of the darn things are iust peeking out of the ground a his valley farm. In one corner of the page is a picture of Jim receiving a gold cup from FRED KOR- LING, president of the Dairy Farmers of Amer- ica, Inc. Just a minute, there is something com- ing through on the teletype. Look! DENNY KELLY is the newly elected territorial governor of Alaska, and JOE RETZEL was awarded the Nobel Prize. One of Joe's inventions, a lie detector, netted him ten thousand dollars from Distric Attorney JIM CONNELLY. Here's a news flash. JAMES PETER LUCAS has completed an oil line in central India.

Natives of the cobra-infested interior found Lucas charming as the proiect progressed. Present at dedication ceremonies were WAYER- SKI, his personal friend and adviser as well as the famous partners CANTALINI, CONDON, CORKERY, CUMMINGS, and CROWLEY, The latter group own a continually commended com- pany of cars, carts, and carriages for carrying classy chasses of uppercrust, crestfallen, cradle- ridden characters. That's an advertisers way of saying that they manufacture buggies. Say Mac, I received a ten-thousand dollar check the other day, and it bounced like a new rubber formula. It was one of PUNCHY PATRICK McGEE'S. I thought he was going strong in the steel business. Must have gone broke iust lately. Well, I took him down to JUDGE LEWIS KNEZEVICH' who sentenced him to twenty years molding meatballs of SCAR- PELLI'S FANCY HORSE MEAT MARKET for old and decrepit horses, donkeys, and pedigreed

DOCTOR JOSEPH GAGE has become a millionaire following the IittIe butcher's cus- tomers with an old worn out stomach pump,- for a nominal fee. When Doc Gage leaves the castor oil kid takes over. You guessed it. The other doctor of the class of '45s DOCTOR JAMES ROTCHFORD. I'I was down at the water front the other day. Guess whom I saw,-JACK DAPPER. He's got a dark room behind Lefty TOM BUTLER'S pool room. He shadow boxes there. Speaking of Tom, his fortune was built on left-handed cue sticks. And say, De Horn, did you know that 12-.5 I.

He hid out the last five years,-seems he drank a quart of Dago wine and passed him- self off as a thermometer. One minute, William, my boy, the teletype is clicking again. Hey! What's this? GEORGE NAKASHIMA, favorite trumpeter of the bobby socks brigade, was mobbed in New York after rendering his popular medley of Temptation. that's not all. PHIL WIEVODA is suing the hot trumpeter for 525,000 for wrecking Madison Square Garden which he owns and operates. Look out the window, Bill. Across the way is RYAN and STOCKTON'S bar and grill. The only customers appear to be Stockton and Ryan propped up against the bar there. But wait, through the haze and smoke I discern the house card shark JAMES OLIVER PRESLEY deftly dealing a hand of lonely solitaire. You remember BILL BURNS. He's on Broad- way now-going to star in the latest Shakes- perian play. The part is something like the man behind the man behind the prompter. WILLIE FLANIGAN is producing the play in hopes of increasing his holdings in the SCHO- VAERS, SHEARER, and SWENSON School of Ballet. CHUCK TONANI, according to the little Irish news service of sunny southern Italy, is now the reigning royal of the spaghetti factory with one meatball. Say, that was too bad about OZZ McGEE, wasn't i? I visited him the other day and found him sitting on the edge of a bird-bath shooting sparrows with a pair of loaded dice. Yes, I heard about McGee when I went down to finish paying for my Aunt Sophie's casket at the BROWN, BRIGHAM 81 MARSHALL Funeral Home. They do a lively business. Still, they had time for a fishing trip. Canada it was, and they hired TED DIONNE as guide from the HOWARD LUBITZ Guide and Canoe Service. They also stumbled on SNAKE KILBURG work- ing in a sideshow up there and identified a member of parliament as JIM KlNDER. R. J. HALL recently accepted the iob of Man- ager for Evergreen Theatres with head office in Timbuktu. His secretary, BOB ESCURE, wrote me about it. Bob said business was all right until FRED ENSLOW talked him into ioining the French Legion. They both deserted because they wouldn't take orders from the captain, LEE FREDRICK. Here's a paper l've been saving. Some ofthe boys got their names in it. Let's see. It says that BILL McGOUGH has replaced his brother in the world of teaching. He has popularized the textbook From Moron to Idiot, co-authored by CARL RABE and KIE OWENS. Recognize anyone in this picture? That's JIMMY GILLES- PIE in court. Yes, his able defender is the ora- tor DEL SMITH. It seems that specimens of Jim's taxidermy are exhibit A and B,-Stuffed ballot boxes. THOMAS POPE is in RipIey's Believe It or Not. It seems his Tiger Lunch had cubs. QDin- ing and whining, no doubtl. ROBERT LUCAS is now sole proprietor of the Vegetable Shoppe and spends most of his time watching a corn cob to see how it turns into a pipe. W.P.A. worker VERNON STUPFEL is convalescing from severe shock brought on when he was acci- dentally confronted with a full day's work. However, his foreman, GILES RISKE could make no statement due to a bad case of Laryngitis developed in telling his men to Dig it a little deeper. Warden DICK SCHULTE is making a hit with his Sing Sing quiz kids JOHN PORTER and TOM NADEAU. The sixty-four dollar question is still the one crossing the bars. The kids are discovering that it is not always legal to print what you see,-especially ten spots. ROY SNI- DER now owns his big construction Co. Roy got fx: 0 I -Is i I9 If x4Z i inf X tvs: - Ill -K K f-'- XIX the bid for Spokane's first sky-scraper. He told reporters that he is somewhat puzzled as to iust how it will make the sky any clearer. RALPH WOHRLE now has his dad's glass business. He claims you can only get out of a bottle what was put into it. He should know. FRANK SCHROEDER recently sued TOM MORRIS in court. Tom shot at Frank's dog and scared the cow he was milking. JUDGE BILL O'MALLEY, when interviewed on the case, in the privacy of the iudicial padded cell said tersely, Blub, bIub. Yea, De Horn, that was the class. I think we missed one member. Oh, I know, BOB REDINGER. But then he's-Well: 'Nuff said. I NFA X . , ,X f' I ll , wry-fftft.f'f,fc I M JL.
