THE ACORN, 1932 The Class PI'OPl'l2CY ET us imagine ourselves ten years from now. It is in the year 1942, and gif Mr. A. E. Claggett, Superintendent of the Oakwood Schools, has con- Z 'wig tinued his Oakwoodian custom of investigating the activities of the alumni. He has just completed a survey of the glamorous Class of '32. Mr. Claggett's chauffeur, Philip Crowl, did much of the research work on his spare tire. Due to the fact that the Class of '32 was not so promising when they left Oak- wood, Mr. Claggett is overjoyed to find some successful ones among them. At this point it is necessary to mention Gentle Gus Zonars and Hercules Herkins. Through that noted promotress, Ruth Brelsford, they have been signed to rassle for the championship of Hooey County. By the way, Miss Brelsford claims the women's rassling title. Robert Landis now goes under the name of Oscar G. Zilch and is associated with that educational magazine Ballyhoo. Mrs. Ossie Zilch is none other than the former Lil Frank. John f Before j Hubler and Pete f After j Wood recommend Enid Martin's and Mildred Herby's Taffy House Candy to go with their course. Their course is Have Muscles Like Mine. Horace Huffman, the leading salesman for the Fooler Brush Company, was making a call the other day and found Bill Hall beating his wife, Jane Boggs, because she had been out of work for two weeks. Bill said he was hungry. The Local Boys make good! Boit and Bite are headliners in Carl Graves, Scandals.,' Of course Boit', and Bite,' are only stage names for David Semore DeCamp and Robert Claibourne Anderson. The stage has also claimed Jane Rodgers and Virginia Weiher. One acts and the other sings, but they both en- dorse Luckies. Another Lucky advertiser is Virginia Comer, who runs the cigar stand at the Beckel House. Hastings Baker married Leah Belle Mauck and is a prominent lawyer. He is at present representing Charles Allen's Ice Cream Company in a case against the people. The people claim that Charlie's ice cream has more ice in it than cream, but Charles denies this. Bill Greenfield, the dentist, is being sued for divorce by Elsie Wietzel. How- ever, we always said our Elsie could never forget her Tom. PAGE 28
