P. A.l-l.S. OMEMOIRSO CLASS OF'38 'Two members of our class have become famous movie stars in Hollywood. Can you guess who they are? Well, I'll tell you. Angelo Guido and Muriel Roberts have taken Fred Astaire's and Ginger Rogers' places. Angelo was quite a dancer in his high school days and we all know he'll be successful in his career. He says, I owe all my success to such a talented partner. Ralph Cook Couch has given up his job of Bookkeeper at the Bethlehem Steel Company to become a first class ambulance driver at St. Luke's Hospital. Jimmy Weiss has finally made that much belated trip to Canada with Jim Boncher as his sole companion. So far their Catch has been: 2 Bears. 26 Rabbits, 6 Rattlesnakes, 4 Skunks CWhat a time they had catching those skunks! If you don't believe me ask themb, 1 Groundhog, 2 ROWBOATS OF FISH fThey did not specify what kindl. In the near future they hope to break all records. Here's luck to you, boys. Frank Mosbach has become a well-known journalist. From newsboy to journalist is quite a jump, but Frank climbed the ladder of success all the way. Pen Argyl's population has increased to double its former amount of 5.000. Why shouldn't it? There are: Frey's Shoe Store and Bootblack Parlor, Keeler's Dress Salon. Stine's School of Music, Bray's Ice Business,'Mosbach's Printing Establishment, Capozzo1a's Radio Station, Lobb's Court for Juveniles, Ace's Bicycle Exchange, Hicks' Bus Terminal, Bonney's Dance Hall CWilmer Duke Bonney has opened and succeeded in operating successfully Pen Argyl's first dance hall. In case any one is interested, dancing lessons are given away every Tuesday evening on the first floor in the Green Room .J With all these business enterprises Pen Argyl has become quite a busy little metropolis. Now we'll move just a short distance from Pen Argyl and go to Wind Gap, where Joseph Braido has been elected Chief Burgess of Wind Gap, and has opened a delicatessen store with a- partments above. Myron Kimble has finally won fame with his orchestra and is at present playing over Station WJZ. For the past eight years he played on the National Barn Dance Hour . Myron says his motto was, If at first you don't succeed, try, try, again. Broadcasts are given every Monday, Wed- nesday, and Sunday at 10:00 P. M. Walter Ace's Bicycle Exchange is for pupils who come from the surrounding districts of Pen Argyl. It is a thriving business, for he rents, sells and repairs Bikes . There is no charge for parking. Many an out-of-town pupil's prospects have been brightened by Ace's Exchange. John Herd has studied Music at the U. S. Naval Academy of Music and is at present guest soloist of Earl D. I-Ield's Band Unit. For five years he played solo trombone in the U. S. Marine Band. William Phillips also played solo Saxophone and Clarinet in the U. S. Marine Band. At pres- ent he is playing in Kimble's Orchestra. Lowe Miller is making use of his so-called Good Looksi' as he is a professional gigolo. I could not forget the smallest member of our class who, believe it or not, has attained the a- mazing height of 5 feet, IOVJ inches. Lawrence Tiny Hendershot is now President of the First National Bank of Pen Argyl. CRemember he was the Class Treasurer in his senior year. Earl Williams- class comedian-has devoted his life's talent to the invention of a Flying Submarine . Here's wishing you success. You'll need it. Now that Bill Dawe has reached the ripe, old age of 30, he has acquired a fortune and become a multi-millionaire, just as Madame Rhoda predicted he would during the summer of '36. Eddie Jago has become a member of the Submarine Corps I-M-4-U No. 13, in the United States Navy. Clifton Harding has at last become manager of his beloved Buckhill . After the radio party we are all going to Buckhill for a banquet by way of Hicks' Bus Service. This service is so comfort- allile that we decided to travel by bus instead of using our own cars. The rates are also very reason- a le. Karle Chubby Lobb presides over the judgc's bench in the juvenile Court in Pen Argyl. Last, but not least, is Archy Dungey who has become America's No. 1 Vagabond. He also goes by the name of The Swinging Tramp . Here comes John Capozzola giving me fair warning. So I .had better close with, I'll see you all at the banquet at Harding's Inn. Good Luck to everyone in the Future . IONA DAWE 27

P.A.l-l.S. OMEMOIRSO CLASS OF'38 Class Prophecy Station P-E-N Pen Argyl with the latest news of the day, with our promising young announ- cer, John Capozzola at the microphone. It so happens that today the class of '38' has gathered at the studio to send out news of its accomplishments since high school days. . First of all. there is Lefty Amy who hasn't surprised us a bit by becoming a very excellent Physics Teacher in the Bangor High School-I suppose there was some attraction at Bangor for Lefty , as he journeyed there quite often in his Senior Year. I Walter Fishbone Edwards has accredited P. A. H. S. with a P. O. D. class providing collap- sible chairs for sleepy pupils. Well does he remember his high school days. It seems that Bun Tucker and Irvin La Barre run a Dude Ranch way out in the not so woolly west , where Bill Budge has just 'Hurds and. Hurds' of cattle, although Betty hasn't 'Budged' out of Pen Argyl yet! This seems strange to us as she took such a liking to Wind Gap in her high school days. Have you heard? Carl Zegalia and Milicent Lesh have opened a Roller Skating Rink at Weona Park where they give exhibitions at each session. John Compardo has been 'coining the dough' as a professional football player. Recently he starred in MGM's Saturday Heroes . u Anna Marsh's church training has not gone in vain as she has become a Missionary in South Africa, and was just lucky enough to be back on a furlough at this time. Good luck to you in the future, Anna. Evelyn Stine has graduated from Eastman's School of Music, and is now a teacher in this college. Some of the members of our class are really famous. For instance, Joyce Parker has been made House Mother at Penn State-We wonder what attracted her there???? Kay Harris, Cso I've heardj has made a very competent stenographer to a certain young man in Bangor. While Miriam Hontz CI'm sure you all remember her as Secretary to Mr. Lahr while rehearsing the Operettaj is Secretary to the President of the United States. Quite an honor, isn't it? But then, I said that some of our members were really famous. Betty Lugg has graduated from the University of Penn- sylvania and is now employed in the Easton Hospital as a nurse. Helen Lobb has certainly surprised us all by not becoming a teacher, but by moving to Estonia, and becoming Mrs. Tamhlet, wife of her foreign correspondent friend. William Keeler has opened Monsieur Keeler's Dress Salon , where Miriam Palmer is chief designer. Can she make the gorgeous gowns? She surely can! Several of her creations are seen here today. Jane Achenbach, Helen Roberts, and Esther Melvin are models of the Short, Medium, and Tall type. They have started a new style in modeling. Monsieur Keeler says that they in- creased his sales 99y1'24'. Berneice Bennington is at last seen with the tall, dark, and handsome gentleman whom she desired when a senior. Lucy Ruggerio, well known pianist, has graduated from Eastman's School of Music and has taken a place on the Faculty of P. A. H. S. We should feel highly honored today as Minnie Jeffery -first woman to Hy a Dirigible across the Pacific-is with us here at the studio. Later 1n the program she has graciously consented to say a few words to the radio audience. While I am on the subject of the program I shall discuss all of it. Ruth Lakey, a former member of the class of P. A. H. S., who has traveled 1n almost all of the prominent cities of the U. S. and many countries abroad singing in Madame Shumann-He1nk's Opera, is going to favor us with a selection. joseph Bianco will also sing a selection from Sullivan's Opera 5 he sometimes startles his patients during an operation by singing High Opera - O Solo Mio being a favorite. Allen Bray has become Strong-man in Barnum and Bailey's Circus due to his hard work on Repsher's Ice Truck while in high school. 2

PAI-IS . . . OMEMOIRSO CLASS OF Class Poem Betty Hurd won't Budge a bit, She stamps and says she's right, So the class gives in again, Since she's our shining light. Ruthie is our Songbird, She sings to all's delight, We wonder whom she sings to Every Saturday night. Johnnie was our captain, In sports he was a shark, But when it comes to romance He found it was no lark. John Herd can play the trombone, In school he's not so dumb, When he's walking down the street He's looking for the drum. Weissy is our comic, He's always cutting up, The teachers try to still him, But, Heck! He's still a pup. Budgey and his Chevy, Have gone a long, long way, Here's hoping he keeps going, For Betty every day. Guido is our Fred Astaire, You should see him dance, With dancing and his curly hair, Boys, we don't stand a chance. Irv is quite a typist, He's hardly missed a key. But when he gets a low mark, His actions you should see. Helen Roberts goes a lot, To Bangor we are told, But what's the reason for it, Tut! Tut! we're not so bold. They say Merle is a quiet sort, And seems to be quite shy, Don't ever get her started, Or she'll hit an all-time high. Phil we hear has taken The ways of some of us, He Ends his way to Wind Gap, But not to ride a bus. Kimble is our Rubinoff, So lets his hair grow long, And when he strikes that sweet note, All nature bursts in song. If Joyce could pick her college, Penn State we know 'twould be, For there she'd be in heaven, And more of him would see. Cliff wants to be a waiter, We guess he'1l be all right, Make sure the fellows tip you, 'Cause some of them are tight. When everyone is gloomy, And the day is dark and still, Williams gives a wise crack, The room with mirth to till. Lucy is our pianist, Who plays so very well, She's always willing to oblige, And so we think she's swell. A little sophomore miss, Is the apple of Pete's eye, We hope that he will get her, Then we'1l call her Mrs. Frey. Fat was quite a guard, On the football team, I mean, Bangor seems to like him, too, For there he's often seen. If it's a car that you are wanting Let Cappy tell his tale, And when he's through with you, You bet! He's got a sale. Kate is oh so quiet, When of the blond we speak, He hails from good old Bangor, And comes to town each week. Lefty is a rascal, In his lessons he is bright, We wonder where he goes to, Every Wednesday night? Jane is very quiet, She never says a word, But when she starts in singing, She seldom goes unheard. Acey used to come to school Each morning on his bike, But since we moved upon the hill He has to take a hike. Cooker leads a lonely life, To other girls he's cold, But when the nurses have their leave, To Bethlehem he rides bold.
