MARGARET CLEGG YOUNG Dark, smiling eyes. Very attractive. Busy. Clever tennis and swimming star. Dignified. Lovely dark hair. Student Council member. Graces Latin and Dramatic clubs. Daring. Chief ambition to be an aviatrix. Courteous. Interested in life. FANTASTIC; HERE you are, folks! Get your tickets for the sightseeing tour of February City in the County of Thirty-Two—who cares what state it’s in? All aboard—here we go!!! Well, would you look who’s here. Clayt Worster is our bus driver. Guess the old Buick went the way of all cars. Clayt's very helpful assistant is Wayne Ambler. Our guide—ah, ha—the silver-plated-voiced tenor, Sanford Yolk. First we see the dancing studio operated by Joe Dickel and Mary Barnett—that couple with the peppy feet. Next to it is the largest town theatre. The bright lights have finally located “The Blues Chasing Couplet”—Jarvis and Walton, assisted, in quartette numbers, by Mary Harris and Helen Hansen. To our right, as we travel along, are the head offices of the world’s largest insurance company with Harold Wildrick as its president. One of his best salesmen is Roscoe Williams. Among the many stenographers and clerks in his employ are Mary Collmer, Dorothy Brauer, Lillian Schlafer, Mabel Houck, Betty Whittock, and Eleanor Wilson. Some business, folks! As we approach an open field, we see a strange game in procedure. The idea of this sport is to take a baseball bat and hit a tennis ball down the field. Then you dribble a soccer ball over the goal line, after which you kick a football over the goal posts. Nobody knows what it’s called, but from the way the judges, Mildred Earle, Ed Geissler, and Adeline Ambler, are arguing over a decision, it must be some game! The players? Let’s see—Rex Vogan, Wally Leighton, and Bob Hun-sicker. Over on the other side are Francis Clark, Ed Lever, and Polly Russell. Not even the Olympics measure up to this game. While passing a large factory, we notice Robert Mclntire and Franklin Nunna-maker being abruptly ushered out. They must have been after that great scientist’s autograph. What scientist? Why, Julius Gassmann, of course. And by the way, have you noticed on the news-stands that magazine called “Howlyhoo”? It’s published by Russ Green and Arnold Peiffer. Seems to be quite a popular magazine, too. We are told that on the next street is the school where Josephine White teaches Latin and where Loretta Meschter is principal. Loretta’s secretary- is Marietta Sowers. The company on our left, “ Paintslosher and Brushslinger, Inc.” is an interior decorating firm run by the Virginias, Eastburn and Davey. Near this company is a large hall, in which, we are informed, is to be held the largest society event of the year. It is under the direction of the city’s three foremost society leaders: Jane Smith, Edith Grigg, and Betty Nelson. The secretary, Esther Lucas, is hard at work making arrangements for its success. It is to be quite a swanky affair, we understand. In the large building we are now passing is the newspaper plant started by Helen Freeman and Betty Mansfield. Helen handles editorials and feature material, while Betty handles the news end of it. Ed Ott is their advertising manager. The Ladies’ Clotherye Shoppe we just passed is controlled by Peggy Young, Dorothy Ache, and Margaret Bailey. The pride of the city, it selis exclusive styles direct from Paris, Maine. At a distance over the rolling country is to be seen the military academy at whose (Please turn to guess where)
