Ralph Waddell has joined the National Assembly Organization as a magician with Dorothy DeHart as his assistant. He performs such tricks as cutting the woman in two. Among the new teacher's at V.H.S., I was surprised to find Bej ty Rose as chemistry teacher. Jimmie Rusow and Bobby liew are now in Japan as army reserve men. They have the plans all mapped out to v.in the next war. Duke Byers can still be found hanging around the old haunts of the football field. You can hear him loudly yelling, Peanuts, popcorn, chewing gum. I was quite shocked to discover that Edna Snyder was starred as a dancer and Thelma Rainwater as a singer at the New Gayety. Earl Spofford and Don DeWitt were blown to Mars while working on a new explosive. I wonder if they found one. The most surprising news of aHwas when I heard about Don Tiffney being a dramatic teacher in Lincoln high school. Verlin Crume is now the director of the Paper Boy's Union. Gordon Cline, architect, is drawing the plans for the new V.H.S. building and Mary Ann Johns is the interior decorator. Believe it or not, quiet little Russell Snook is now a prize fighter. His next match is with the world heavy weight champion. Tommy Ilolce, at Madison Square Garden. Jim Briggs, taxidermist, is opening a new shop on Bridge Street. It seems as though we have accounted for all the students from the class of '47, so I’ll close for now and get some rest. Yours truly. SEPTEMBER 26—BONFIRE RALLY
