THE U IO CITY TIMES VOL. 87 UNION CITY, PA., THURSDAY, APRIL 13, 1961 NUMBER 27 CIVIL WAR 100th ANNIVERSARY C E L E BRATION BRINGS BACK MANY FORMER UNION CITY H. S. STUDENTS Class of '41 Has Perfect Representation At High School Alumni Meet The former members of the illustrious class of 1941 which was noted for its exhibitions, re- corder, public address system, and Coca Cola vender, were seen by your reporter about town in the following capacities: Agnes Conner is still journeying in the sports field and has taken it definitely as a profession but during her leisure she still fingers her flute. Here is someone that can tell us a lot that would interest many. Edith Carr has inherited a great sum of money and has spent most of it visiting different countries of the World. Helen Childs and Frances Benton are hold- ing positions at the Erie Infants Home. We al- ways knew Helen was sort of Childish. But what of Frances? She is the Dietician. Cecilia Fitzgerald, while sitting at her desk as a first class secretary one sunny day, was spied by a head manager from Hollywood and she has already played as leading lady in three great pictures. Ah, Gee are they cute! Aha! Can you guess what Shirley Seltzer is doing? She is head nurse of the baby-ward in a hospital in New Kensington. She's a good one too. Marian Sargent's intentions of never getting married were dropped behind when she fell in love with a handsome doctor with whom she had been assistant nurse. Who is that taking dictation? Can't see any- thing but the pen, it's going at a terrific speed. Well, well, Leah Moisher! I guess that slaving away in Palmer's Glasses did help you. Verna Shayko's going to college to become a Vocational Home Ec. teacher was not used for that purpose. But she certainly knows how to cook for him and the kids. Nell Lockwood as you can plainly see is still very popular. She has obtained her fifth divorce and has in mind the governoris son for her next husband. Marjorie Dingle has had some dangerous ex- periences for she is a foreign correspondent. She has been the first American reporter to get a personal interview from Hitler. Yes, Hitler is still living. Geraldine Bement and Gertrude Bloss still have fun kidding each other. They own a beauty shop together. Geraldine knows her latest steps in hair do, but Gertrude knows it too. Oh-o-o! Look over there! Violet Wilson is widely known model. lf you see anything that has been modeled by Miss Wilson you know it is the best. What is Betty Still doing? Why, I asked her. She just smiled and didn't say a thing. What ever it is I know she fits the position perfectly, for as the old saying goes, she's as happy as a ark. If you want someone you can really depend upon, it is Mary Helen Walther for she covers the most important Hbeats? for the United Press. Violet Zombeck is now living at her lovely home and her twin girls are both blond. Must take after her! Eh! But the twin boys take after him. We have just been entertained by our favor- ite star, Joan Kennedy. Joan's singing is still enjoyed by everyone. But most of all she still likes to tap-dance. twenty-six

Marian Sargent entrusts all her make-up and also that long bob to Donna Clark. Shirley Seltzer leaves her Ford to Florence Larson, knowing of FIorence's ability to drive such.

Audrey Kimmy is Boss in a factory in Meadville and if you don't believe she is a good one let her boss you around for a while. Have you ever been to a dentist? Yes, of course. But this is the vocation that Betty Den- nis has chosen. Annie Balas is a private secretary for a mil- lionarie all she has to do is keep his debits and credits straight. Eva Gross is one of our girls who studied to be a beautician, but not for girls, for boys. She likes 'em with curley hair. Although married Frances Alexander is still employed at the May Co. as a clerk. She has been such an asset to them, that they could not afford to loose her. Betty Fuller is a stenographer in Erie but she still has her home in Arbuckle, if anyone should like to know. Say, look who is coming? There are five of them, Edith Thomas, Gladys Southworth, Bertha Lewis, Audrey Campbell, and Leora Allen. No wonder they were together, they are all nurses in the same hospital. Do you hear that Blues Singer? Why, could it really be that most quiet of the quiet girls, Lila Anderson? Nelda Smith has just acquired the position of Editor of the New York Sun. And has start- ed her campaigning for President of United States on the Socialist Ticket. Elizabeth Courtright has been working on and off, as a secretary but she still prefers home to anywhere else. We almost forgot about Dodi Smith and Ada Comstock. You'd never think they would settle down. But both are married and they represent two ideal couples of Union City. Irene Dudics has been an Aviatrix for a number of years, but has decided to stop her flying around and come down to earth. She still drives for pleasure only. Eddie Burns still pondering the question of a future vocation, although he is on easy street twenty-seven having recently been given 501, interest in the Lucky Strike Company as a result of his exten- sive business with them. Commander Stanley Krol was observed strolling down the street between his regular transport hops to London. Stan had quite a story to tell about conditions in Europe. Frank Ottaway telling eager friends how he raised his stock which won blue ribbons at the State Fair. He would have brought one to the party, but he feared that the crowd might get hungry for a barbecue. Paul Packo, who recently finished a musical comedy hit on Broadway, was finally persuaded to play a few selections from his show on the accordion, Herb Inman took the afternoon off from his daily work in the Erie Veterinary hospital, the institution he started some years ago. Herb, to- gether with some former classmates, took a stroll over to the old High School building. Andy Lambros took time out from his work enlarging the new Lambros Cafe. You might be interested in knowing that the food in the Night Club is just as good as the Rhythm Kings music played there. A tall policeman walked in on the party and put some of the gathering ill at ease until he identified himself as Commander Lester Van Epps of the State Highway patrol. He amused many at the party by showing how his portable two way radio system worked. Captain Hanlin of the local National Guard Company was seen having a superb time telling old acquaintances the good and bad sides of be- ing married. fCWe are unable to quote any of his conversation.J Al Caflisch was entertaining some of the gathering with slight of hand tricks. You peo- ple from out of town would be interested to know that Al is running the mill now. You all remember Ed Clark, l'm sure. He flew down from Buffalo, where he is employed in an airplane factory, for the proceedings. Ed hasn't forgottn how to shoot pool through the years. If you doubt it ask some of the fellows he played while he was here.
