WALTHAM HIGH SCHOOL From President Gordon Skakle of the Waltham Chamber of Commerce comes a report that the thriving little community will erect a monument on the Waltham Common to that symbol of the All-American boy .... the drug-store cowboy . . . . . The statue was posed for by ex-gridiron star Phil Caminiti of that city ..... Today marked the grand opening of the William P. Foley Asy- lum -for Aged and Decayed Punsters. The build- ing, as well as Director Foley, was duly christened at opening exercises with the remains of slightly putrified tomatoes ..... The enrolment in the A. A. D. P. is expected to be tremendous, accord- ing to the statement issued by Assistant Directors Archdeacon, Fran Rogers, Herb Benson, Betts O'Toole, Teresa Ristuccia, and Archie McPherson. . . . . In the groove! . . . . Believe it or so what fans should be interested to know that the Lenny Hartnett swing outfit is composed of Slushpump Ray Leach, Big Dan Gibbs, Ivory Ickie Bob Belliveau, Allen Horny Garber, Dave Hot Lips Warner, Al Sliver Sucker Wolk, and vocalist Jessie Gebow. Larrys Stanley and Hendri- ken were the composers of Down In The Corn- 1ield, theme for Hartnett and his Corn Cobs . . . . That perennial sophomore, Ignatius Gangi, has again been voted the best looking, best dressed, most popular, most studious, and boy most likely to succeed for the fifth successive year at D'Oraz- zio's Dunce Academy .... Local boy makes good! The O'Neils have been having a circus .... we mean that literally as well as figuratively! Thomas E. and Tom recently opened their Woo- Woo Rodeo in Pintabona's Pididdle Park, Neb., and yesterday's performance went smoothly until a new baton act was introduced with the Bowman Band. Do Butterfield, Re Griffin, and Me Martin twirled and threw their silver batons. Show- horse Amnesia, ridden bareback by Esther O'Neil, didn't like the batons, and waltzed into a gas station, gracefully knocking over three pumpi with his rear axle ..... The law firm of Paradis, Parisi, and Patrick have advertised their business motto as A fool and his money are soon parted . . . see definition of alimony' '.... Campus Chat- ter: Civilization, says Professor Charles Rhodes of Mixed Nuts Prep School, is an upward ten- dency that has enabled mankind to perfect that Raw, Rawn known as the college cheer . . . . Co-eds Muriel Medina, Clara Viscogliosi, Betty Healy, Mary Dunleavy, and Ginny Towne of Uhlin University, Utah, offer the remark that if joe Col- lege can't buy his pants complete with knee-bags, he has 'em built in! .... Sprightly as springtime are the new shoe styles designed by Minnette Ber- kowitz for the George Ford Flatter Flat Feet' Shoe Concern. If you've GOT to have fiat feet, Hatter your flattened footsies with Ford's! .... Hint to patrolmen Robert Dion, Pete Kotsifas, Gil Melanson, Don Washburn, and Dayton Barrows, 1 . . . . School-girls in the country may not know all the historic dates they might, but they can rattle off the pictures that sophisticate joe Albanese has starred in! At the recent preview of Thcre's Many A Wreck 'Neath A New Coat of Paint, Albanese's latest heart-throb vehicle, socialite Eli- nor Willis Giardina was heard to remark, Alba- nese - - - in-mm-mmm, when he smiles in that dashing way of his, I could just swoon!' '... . When the S. S. Sea Sick arrived in Boston harbor from New York this morn, the reporter saw vivid proof of a slightly rough trip . . . in more ways than one! The cargo contained well-done fbut decidedly raw in placesj acts of Who Takes Care of the Caretakers Daughter While the Caretaker's Busy Taking Care? the new drah-ma that will open in town Friday ,.... There seemed to be a good deal of conflab in deciding just who were the stars of the show. Captain Bob Saumsiegle had a goodly amount of difficulty in arranging the list of those that would sit at his table, but Gerry Quin- lan, blonde protagonist of the performance was at the Captain's right, next to her was the ex-Mrs. joseph Papa, again Wanda jollatta of stage re- known, and next to her was Norma Cantwell, re- ported as being the other angle in that Margaret Foley-Roy Echman triangle. The remaining seats at the table of honor were filled by Vic Cimino, Dot Powers, Kay Venuti, Margy Zoehler, and Pol- ly Ramsay, all members of the cast that you'll see in this new Priscilla Tyler Production ..... Gus- sie Schools, also riding the waves with the dra- matic outfit, commented on her trip with I didn't see much of the boat, 'cause I traveled most of the

CLASS OF 1939 dents interested in conquering the horse-flesh are given instructions by fillies Gately, Hathorne, Walsh, Littleheld, Morrow, King, and Merino. . . and are the boys taking the bounce! .... Latest addition to the book mart is My Diet or I'1l Start Tomorrow written and edited by Ruth S. Greenway and R. Jarvis Mollica ..... And while on the subject of reading, we'll mention some of the BETTER literature on the What Boston Isn't Readingl' list ..... A Roundabout Way of Ex- pressing Affection by Richard Hug Me Storer, and Kilts written by Ruth Sinclair as a Scotch- man's apology for wearing short skirts ..... Ken- tuckey Kernel or Corn Liquor has been com- pleted by Mazur and Holicker and reviewed by Ernest Jones, that wet blanket critic that soaks up everything he touches ..... So go the literati, but from MY little, black book comes the report that the johnson, johnson, and johnson Detective Agency, home of the Sweden Yard, is now work- ing with a complete Dick Tracy disguise outfit. It would, however, be practically impossible for them to travel incognito, for even through Balkan beards we'd recognize that total expanse of Scandana- vian dead-pans. . Ernest L. Barlow, of the Barlow Garter Millions, will open a new theatre in Scollay Square next month with a stage production that we bet will provide the biggest kick since the depression. Barlow states for publicity purposes that the show will be better than bundling on cold winter nights - - - and lots more funl' '....' 'Bubbles Barry, Polly Foster, Rosie Ciarletta, jean Hub- ley, Pearl Walker, and Toots Mann will be fea- tured in the front line of the Barlow Beautified Babes. .... Dots 'n dashes from the Pacific Coast ..... We afford a hitherto secret glimpse into the backstage regions of the moviedom pro- fession .... , . Flicker star Gloriann shattered all illusions of her supposedly glamored past when she became the ball and chain of actor Luigi Dan- gio yesterday. It appears that the black-haired beauty HAS a last name, is NOT Polynesian, speaks English fluently, and is the daughter of joseph Cataldo of Waltham. Dangio made a state- ment to the press that he and his wife met in the trees during the filming of i'Tarzan Meets A Movie Star. By way of the high seas! .... Officers aboard the S. S. Heartbreaker, now anchored off the coast or Switzerland, recently sponsored a contest to de- termine just how popular their sailors were on shore leave. To Second-lieutenant Dan Guiney went the title of Heart Throb Number 1, and en- signs Popeye Dwyer, Dick Dion, and Dan Cal- lahan also came in the money. Eirst mate Herb Rand, however, was presented with the booby prize, because he's still writing letters to that cer- tain someone in his home town ..... The biggest bump to hit the literary world lately is the appear- ance of a very tall fellow, with soulful eyes, and :he dirtiest straw hat we've ever seen. His name is William Cail, and he has the oddest job we know of - - - that of conducting a centurian col- umn for Editor Sam Sabetti of the Waltham Peek- A-Boo.' '.... Mr. C. Chicken Chittick, famed chicken tamer with the Brannelly-Chute Circus, was invited by President Ruth DeVenne of the local womens' Knit-Wit Club to lecture on his daring adventures. Well, I wouldn't know how to lecture, chuckled Chittick - - - but I can imi- tate birds' '... . That'll be perfectly all right, put in Vice-President Elsie Lukens, and Illl ad- vise all the ladies to leave THEIR birds at home. . . . . Now, I ask you, if some tomatoes aren't over-ripe! .... A few hoti' sketches: Would-be gambler joe Petrowski when he gets a good poker hand laughs so long and loud everyone knows it. . . . . Seymore Silver began his career as small town gigolo as the writer of love letters for very young ladies ..... The absent-minded Professor Carl Carter of T. N. T. University, shocked students in his Why Are Pinks Pink? class yesterday upon appearing in those red, flannel things that grand- paw used to wear. The little man laughed, and said, I'm sorry. lt's just that I'm SO absent- m?ndcd! .... Today students Mary Aquilia, jim- my O'Conner, Mary Panda, Ralph Rood, Anita Begin, Tony Biundo, and Art Keith failed to ap- pear at their daily class with Carter. The prof received a note from the group saying, We'rc sorry. lt's just that welre SO absent-minded! . .

The Doe-Doore Publishing Company put a new edition of Great Poems of The Day on their OF 1939 selling list.
