30 AGAWAM HIGH SCHOOL Lena: A dele: Lena: A dele: Lena: A dele: Lena: A dele: Lena: Adele: Dr. Johnson's office. Yes, Dr. Johnson will be over in an hour, (hangs up.) That was from the Spring- field Hospital. Do you know who is on the nurses’ staff? Mary Beauchane, Betty Bailey, Aldah Hollo- way, and Gertrude Jensen. Catherine Spaight is a dietitian there. At present she's trying to work out a successful diet for Kate Smith. She bases her diets on lamb chops and grape-fruit. Lamb chops—remember Harold Bailey and all those prizes he used to win exhibiting his lambs? Well, today he is head of sheep judging in New England. Yes, and Muriel Fraser is supervisor of dressmaking in all the 4-II Clubs in Massachusetts. Oh, did you read in the paper the other day about the Bloom-Astor wedding? They say it was the most brilliant wedding of the season. So Libby finally got her handsome man, didn’t she? Who conducted the ceremony? The Right Reverend Gensheimer. You know, Hank is getting in bad with the husbands of his congrega- tion. You see, none of the women who go to his church can resist him. Everyone calls him “Hand- some Hank, the Home Wrecker. And I suppose Anna Cascella was right there to get their autographs. She's always around when any- thing important is going on. Every time! She hasn't missed any of the important people. Even our radio star, John Kennedy, and the tap dancing sailor, Robert Hennessey, have written in her autograph book. Anna was a good kid just— Lena! Look at the time! (looks at wrist watch.) Now I will be late with that report. We’ve been talk- ing so long that Grant Sackett must be out of the hospital by now! ADELE SWANSON, LENA LODI.

1934 YEAR BOOK 29 Lena: A dele: Lena: A dele: Odette: AdeZe: Lena: Odette: A dele: Lena: A dele: Odette: Lena: Odette: (picking up book from table) Speaking of publica- tions, take a look at this, (reads.) “Old Father North Wind” by Evelyn Lewis, published by Lango Publishing Company, photographs by Webster’s Stu- dios. Remember Barbara Tulloch and all those romances she was always having? Well, now she’s carrying on a column in our paper called, “Advice to the Poor in Spirit.” Look, here’s one of her columns, (reads.) Dear Miss Tulloch: I am a lonely hermit living all by myself on this little South Sea Island. I have never married because I couldn’t find a girl to appreciate me, but now that I’m getting old, 1 think I would be willing to take a chance, even if she didn’t appreciate me so very much. Can you help me? A hermit in distress, Daniel Di Donato Well, of all things! So Danny’s a hermit. He always did have an inferiority complex. That’s not all. (pointing to column) See this column, “From Infant to Tot.” Do you know who writes it? No, who? Walter Stepanik, with the help of Marion Rising. It really is very instructive. Let me see that paper a minute—wait—there I knew it was here. Listen to this. “Richard J. Shields, medical missionary, reports having converted 21 can- nibals and cured 259.” Cured them of what—cannibalism or sickness? Your guess is as good as mine. Ilis secretary, Michael Christopher, says that Dick has escaped being made into a meal four times already. Well, his luck won’t last always. You haven’t said anything about Eddie yet, Odette. What is he doing now? Oh, Eddie’s prompting old-fashioned dances at the new dance hall at North Agawam. In the daytime he works at the Daubitz Garage. (Bell rings.) Dr. Johnson is ready for you now, Odette. Thank you. (exit.) (Telephone rings.)

1934 YEAR BOOK 31 Class Gifts ELIZABETH ABRAMS With every pun and wise remark “Abie” does the defeating, But she must find her equal now For this is good at beating. HENRY ALVERG1NI “Cobb” likes to read of sports; He knows what they’re about; Here are a few of ours In case his own run out. LILLIAN ARDIZONI Book “Lil” questions geometric rules, In that she has no competition; To help her understand them We give a book of definition. JOSEPH ASSAD We’re giving this whistle To great big Joe; No longer need he shout to us; He only has to blow. BETTY BAILEY Betty is very studious, Success her aspiration; Perhaps this long red pencil Will be an inspiration. MARY BEAUCHANE Mary needs a diet; We all are sure of that, Not one to make her slender But one to make her fat. HAROLD BAILEY Since Harold is a “Winnah”,— His specialty is sheep,— This trunk may come in handy His prizes there to keep. LEONARD BELCHER “Lenny’s” going to college, Plans to travel to and fro; Here’s an extra auto When the other doesn’t go. Egg Beater Sport Magazine of Geometry Rules Whistle Red Pencil Diet Trunk Auto
