crew was out of commission. Gee, that's swell. Well, I’ll have to be moving along now. Bye, Frank. I casually walked away from the crowd. I walked down the street that had a great many memories for me. As I came to Robinson's store I decided to get the Independent Republican. I went into Zoby's to get a coke and read the paper. I glanced through the politics, the war, the sports section. Then my eyes caught the gossip column edited by Barbara Briski. In this column there were many surprises. These facts were revealed: jack Callahan and Margaret Cathro ire co-starring in a new musical. Jack is another Rudolph Valentino, and Maggie is a wonderful singer. Now on tour with their instructor, jack Molnar. Lorraine Minkus is now modeling for Sears Roebuck and turned down an offer from the Petty Girl Modeling Corp.” Ronald Bally has made his second million from his cleaning establishment in New Hampton. Ronld Kinsella is deliriously happy with his marriage to Connie Decker. The two of them are striving to raise a wrestling team. Ronnie will be the manager, Connie will be the Business manager. Lorraine Helhoski announces her engagement to Rockerfeller 3rd. After being a secretary for ten years she finally married the boss. Well this column sure took the cake! I glanced at my watch and saw I had three minutes to catch my bus to Denton. Whew! Made it in 30 seconds and here comes the bus already. As I stepped into the bus 1 noticed the driver looked familiar. I couldn't quite place the face. Then it dawned on me. Stan Liseski. Hi, Stan. Why you old son-of-a-gun, McGarry! How ya been.” Can't kick. I see you kept up your driving ability. You mean this? It’s only part time, I race at the Victory Speed, way with Art Soons. We're partners in a couple of stock cars up there. I s’pose you’re going home to Janet and the four little infants. That's right. See you around, Stan. Here's where I get off.” Stepping off the bus I glanced at the general store which was proprietored by Ernest Cree-den. I strolled into the store for the purpose of getting an ice cream cone. While enjoying my cone I overheard a news report. . . This is Sally Harkema bringing to you an up-to-the-minute news cast through the courtesy of Mar.Mul's Skating Rink owned by Mar-jor e Mulhair. Featured there tonight are Lois Tice and Margery Deegan, that popular skating team, giving a command performance of fancy skating. Present will be the well-known lady wrestler Francesca Phillips. Now for the news. The honorable Dorris Brown has succeeded Katherine B. St. George as Congresswoman from the 21st district. The Arthur Murray dance studio has recently acquired a new dance teacher, Dorothy Smith. She is one of the best dance teachers in the East. Miss Marion Myrusii has just been awarded the 7th annual award for onion pullers. The famous Powers model, Camille Barbuti, has been sent to France to model an exquisite line of French dresses and gowns. The famous portrait and sculpture model, Bert-Mary Coon, will accompany her. On the lighter side of the news we have a few celebrities in the picture. Mrs. John Ford, the former Mary Martin, has brought forth her first child. It seems that the Ford name will continue on for it was a baby boy. Anthony Monastra, the Pizza Pie King, has entered his son in prep-school. The reason is to have Tony Jr. prepared for West Point Academy. Miss Marion Lipped has just acquired the rarest antique writing table. jo Anne Werner has divorced her second husband and has been seen dating the Lynch’s next door neighbor. That is all the news for the present. This is Sally Harkema signing off. As I left the store, I decided to hitch a ride. Of all people to pick me up was Frank Warren, who was returning home from work as a mechanic for the press. On the way home I saw Mrs. Ed Gross, the former Hazel Brola, happily weeding onions in her backyard. A little further up the road was Shirley Clauson giving her baby a ride in the carriage. I guess she married the one we all expected her to. A truck passed by with the name Wesley Smitl Trucking Co. written on it. This indeed took me by surprise. Our ride finally ended and Frank let me out. I was home at last! By McGarry as told to Connie Decker 23

A Letter From A Foxhole APO 842: MAGNATRONOVGRAD USSRFD: A last desperate puff on a stale cigarette seemed to give a slight memory of home. Two hundred yards ahead of me was the forest which hid the invisible enemy. I wanted to get up and run but realized that if I did, a rain of bullets would be fired until one of the deadly missiles found its mark. No, I had too much to live for back home to allow myself to be killed. I just had to live. I felt something around my feet and without looking down, I fumbled to find it. My wallet .... there was Mother and Dad. Now She was there .... I wonder if 1 11 ever see her again! I flipped to my graduation class photo; seemed only yesterday that we talked about the future. What had the future been for us? Charles Mauler Mol Maly, the battling light-heavyweight champ of the world, is temporarily retired from the ring. Being a patriotic lad, he joined the U.S. Navy and is now fighting for much bigger stakes. Then there's Jack Robertson next to Chas. He was given a medical discharge and established his own civil engineering business. His last job was to survey the North Woods. He has not been seen for four years, jack Fraser upset prior dope and fooled his classmates by marrying an oil heiress. He is now considered quite wealthy and owns one of the fanciest ''small” houses in Painted Pony, Oklahoma. Still standing together, only this time in the bonds of matrimony, arc Leota Makuen and Ed Hernandez. They now have three offspring and are successful in the banking business out West. Among the society girls is Betty Love. She married a Princeton man, divorced him two years later, and is now reported seen with an actor from Hollywood. A bullet passing inches from me every few moments made me realize that amidst the still, cool palms, death lurks for a victim. My mind thought of others, such as John Mayo. He moved to a western town and has surpassed his father and became a U.S. Marshal. John is now known as Lanky John, gun-totin' lawman.” His former Colgate College companion, Phil Sure sky, is now president of the Chrysler Corporation. Among the Strong men of the class is fames Jones. Jim went on with his Sunday School record and became a minister of the Campbell Hall Presbyterian Church. My muscles were tightening up and I felt like stretching. Without thinking, I moved. Suddenly, I felt a sharp pain in my shoulder and everything went black. How are you feeling? Do you feel weak?” Everything seemed hazy. Slowly my mind was clearing, and I could see the shape of a girl in white. Why it’s Joan Bende! What are you doing here?” Why, I’m assigned to be your special nurse. As she spoke, another woman entered the room. Suddenly I realized it was foan Marie Mandato. She spoke with the intelligence of many years of study in the medical field. As my doctor, she advised me to take a 45-day leave at home. Time passed quickly and within a short time I was home. As I stepped off the train into Goshen's station, I stopped with amazement. I stood there concentrating on the printing in huge letters. Bill Boley starring in North Atlantic!!” This pleased me very much for we all knew that Bill had the ability to be a success as a musical actor. A blare of trumpets and the cheers of a crowd announced the excitement of a parade. As I stepped out of the station to catch a glimpse of the procession, I saw that Alphonse Bonauto, the youngest democratic mayor of Goshen, was giving his usual pre-parade speech. At his side was Phil Coates, a marine sergeant. I walked closer into the crowd and tapped a fellow on the shoulder to ask of the deed that Tex” had done. Why, frank Grippe, how are you? Hi, Bob. How long have you been home?” I just arrived on the last train. Say, what are you doing these days?” Well, I gave up the industrial arts program and became a farmer.” Hey, Frank, what did Phil do that was so great? Oh, it seems he cleaned out a stronghold cf the enemy single-handed, when all the rest of his tank 22
