Once again I have returned to my home town of Zelienople. Much has been changed in the last 10 years. I see new crowds of classmates gathered, all with unfamiliar faces. As I step into Fishburn's, I overhear some apparent seniors discussing graduation, and old mem- ories are once again restored. I begin to wonder what has happened to my old classmates-to Chuck, Mike, Norm, Bee, Shirley, Nancy, and then John, who always claimed he was going to be a hermit??? Once you've left the Alma Mater, it's difficult to keep track of them. Only a month ago I ran into Janet Davis in Pittsburgh, of course she's Mrs. Rogan now, with a fine family. She claims the children have Squeak's looks and her brains, but I per- sonally think they'd do well either way. She's living in the huge metropolis of Frisco, and she also told me she had iust seen her old crony, Shirley Hickey, with her sister-in-law, Bee Beyerl. Shirley is married, too, and Janet said she hardly recog- nized her, as she actually cut her crowning glory. Of course she's probably as cute as ever, but we've always remembered her beautiful long wavy hair. As I am about to leave Fishburn's, I at last see a person whom l should know approaching the door, and I am over- whelmed with ioy, for it's none other than Nancy Hirsch. She's iust the person l've been looking for, as the purpose of my return was to get the low-down on the class of '50, and Nancy used to always be bubbling over with gossip. After a lengthy exchange of greetings, Nan declares she's worn out. She just finished another day of teaching and claims that among her students are some familiar faces. One little boy attired in a iersey with SLIPPERY ROCK COLLEGE-1975 written on it looks like an off-spring of the Wehr family and, too, there's a little girl who's always spinning a baton, who claims that her old mon was a sailor. Nan says she can't quite place her, but she does show a remarkable resemblance to one of her old buddies. Nan also tells me that she had re- cently seen Lo Ann, but Lo hodn't time to talk, as Lewie was waiting at home with the kids, and that Norm Frederick had met with a serious hunting accident in the fall. She couldn't exactly remember what happened, but Norm must have drop- ped his gun, and his dog, deciding to reverse the situation, stepped on the trigger. The only others she knows anything about are: Mike, who coached on undefeated football team at Evans City Qwith the exception of the Zelienople gamel, Chuck and Flo, who are living on Division Street, raising a bas- ketball team. The team's well on its way, they iust need a few cheerleaders!! Janice, who has married Dave and lives in Mars, but still roots for Zelie. Rose Demeretz has replaced Miss Luntz, Janet Thomas is the town's librarian, Frances Pflug is in the Department of Agriculture in D. C., and Dan Powell can be seen any night at 7 o'clock on television. Leaving Fishburn's we see a huge black Cadillac pull into Harper's Service Station which is now managed by Ernie Moes- er. Behind the wheel is-of all people--Blackie Beaumont Such. Asked how he came upon his fortune, Blackie replies, With my looks and personality, why ask questions? We spend another fifteen minutes chatting about old times only to find that Bill Veith, who is now a zoology professor at Gen- eva College, had recently married one of his students. Talk is that she is more than a freshman and even has a daughterll Blackie takes us to his famous night club, the Black Spot , and shows us around. He complains that his headwaiter, Bill Phillis, is always late, but he doesn't have the heart to fire him. The orchestra is iust rehearsing for the evening perform- ance-The orchestra leader does look familiar, and can he beat those drumsll Jack Larson did play drums in the school band, but that's iust a coincidence-or is it? Wait-that is Jack, and the girl singing is Eleanor Mae. Realizing that the time has come when all must part, I say goodbye to my old classmates, and depart. I consider my mission accomplished, as I did find what's become of part of the class of '50, and I am well assured that the remainder is doing equally well.

SEA... A PARODY OF SEA FEVER I must go down to the school again, to the school and the silly books, And all I get is a study hall, and a teacher with dirty looks. When the bell rings, and the class commences, and my head starts aching. There's a dull look on my sad face, as my brain begins shaking. I must go clown to the school again, to the school and my history class, wilcl call and a clear call, that says, You'll never pass. all I ask is a six-weeks' test, with the an- swer sheet near lying, A-s that come out and round about, with- out my even trying. I must go down to the school again, where knowledge is at its height, Where the pencils scratch and the pens swish, and my answers are never right. Now all I ask is a holiday, when the toil of class shall cease, And any one who disagrees may forever hold his peace. To a And And -Janet Davis PARODY TO JlNGLE BEI.LS Dashing off we go ln a smoking model-A. Oe'r the roads we flow, Laughing all the way. Horns and sirens blow, Meaning us to stop, What fun it is to speed and know That Janet's dad's the cop. Oh! OFF we go, oFf we go, Laughing all the way, What fun it is to try to ride In Bee's old Model-A. A day or two ago We thought we'd take a ride, And soon Miss Beatrice Beyerl Was seated by our side. The car was binged and banged. Misfortune was our motto, And soon Bee cried, 'Well, l'll be hanged! I hit another auto! Oh! Off we go, off we go, Laughing all the way. What fun it is to try to ride In Bee's old model-A. -Shirley Hickey PARODY OF THE BUTTERFLY Lifeless, limbless, football man, You would rather be a fan. Mauled and mangled, torn and beat, Trudging in from one more meet, Waiting for your girl to say, Did a truck hit you today? -Beatrice Beyerl K 20 rw v 'f vwmlxmwlvwlv ....... L gil T0 oun TEAM A Parody of Trees I think that I shall never see, A football team so strong as we. We play each game with vim and vigor. That gang of ours is really eager. There's Dutch and Mike and Chuck and Norm, They take the other team by storm. Just take a glance, then, at our line, There is no doubt, it's really fine. They pave the way for all the plays And leave our rivals in a daze. The teams we play may think they're neat, But when we're done, ,they're really beat. By now we know, withkxt a doubt, Those boys of ours deservetiz shout. -Nancy Hirsch MY LITTLE DOG My little brown dog is covered with fleas, And it seems they will eat him alive. They bite him all up from his head to his knees. On flea powder, they seem to thrive. Time was when my little dog was new, And his coat was passing fair, But since then he's gone through a couple world wars, And there isn't much left of his hair. Sure, I love my little old pup For more than he seems to be. But I guess before they will ever give up, l'll have to kill every darn flea. -Richard Kind PARODY OF TREES I think that I shall never see A sailor quite as neat as he. A navy boot who's mighty sweet Compared to others of the fleet, A swabbie who I hope to see In a day or two, maybe three, A man who may by summer be In England, France, or Sicily, Bell bottom trousers, coat of blue, To my man I am always true. The Navy's made of fools like he, But army men don't appeal to me. -Shirley Zehner LITTLE MEAN TEACHER Little mean teacher, Come ring your bell. The boys are all fishing, The girl's in the dell. Where is that teacher? Oh! Where can she be? Why, she's in the woodshed, Beatin' the heck outa' me. -Robert Walsh
