a man sprang out of his seat, dashed up the aisle and made a beeline for the street followed in close pursuit by the detectives. The chase made its way up New York's Fifth Avenue, knocking over Bill Boyle's peanut cart and shoving Raymond Roy, an organ grinder, and his monkey out into the street. Officers Carl Fowler and William Leslie joined the chase. In the confusion of the chase through the crowded streets, the pursuers were separated. Each went in a different direc- tion thinking he was still chasing the firebug. Detective Babine finally ended his pursuit in the City Hospital. Haphazardly he burst into the women's ward cre- ating such a disturbance that nurses Ruth Bernabei, Anne Blais, June Brideau, Eleanor Norling and Jeanne Carter descended on him with such vehement words and baleful looks thot he dashed out in terror, only to run into the hospital secretary, Sally Barnard. As Girroir was running along he heard the tinkle of a bell and looking up, saw Ellie Eaton bearing a sign which said, Contribute to the Proposed A.H.S. Gym. Hastily dropping a Canadian penny into her outstretched palm, Girroir rushed on. He soon found himself upon the stage where Normand Gonthier's play Havoc was in the midst of a torrid love scene played by Kay O'Brien and Gene Terry. Two excited stage hands, Floyd Ashe and Herbert Fish, rushed onto the stage and angrily ushered Girroir out. I Officer Fowler finished his futile chase at a big athletic testimonial banquet where Mike Lago, stalwart coach of Michigan, was giving a few appropriate remarks. Robert Keefe and Mike Polletta, stickers of the New York Rangers, plus Tom Sullivan, hard hitting major league baseball player, William Levesque and John Lewis, champion bowlers, Weary Gould, professional football player, who holds down the left side of the Green Bay Packers, and Richard Blaisdell, star forward of the Celtics, were additional speakers for the evening. Officer Leslie stampeded into a nearby lecture hall just as Professor Emery Eaton was closing his address' on the merits of Harvard University. Vacationing teacher, Dorothy Morrill, was an interested listener. Of the pursuers Doherty was the only one who kept up the chase. He was determined to bring his man in, whatever the circumstances. He followed him up and down the side streets, in and out of subways, always just behind, never catching up, but still pursuing. The chase dragged on from minutes, to hours, to days, and finally weeks. One day while in hot pursuit after the maniac, Doherty saw him disappear into the crowds of a huge county fair. The two top men operating the fair, Henry Gamelin and Robert Gaudet, agreed to cooperate with Doherty in finding the maniac. lncidentally, the fair featured some top notch performers: Connie Gilmore, acrobat and singer, Claire Kelley, tap dancer, John Meeks, the strong man, and the afternoon feature was a midget auto race made even more exciting by the two famous daredevils, Bob Dronsfield and Leo Joubert, the Big Wheel. At night a cow girl roping and riding contest was scheduled, featuring such stellar performers as Shirley Peterson, Margie Loiselle and Leala Allard. It was three that afternoon when the winners of the ladies' baking contest were announced over the loudspeaker. The best cake prize went to Dorothy Bodwell. For the best pie, Joan Sadowski, relishes, Barbara Sanborn, knitting, Claire Hamel, sewing, Shirley Bryant. At another part of the fair Edmond Belanger walked off with the prize winning heifer while Richard Dickens had the best looking Rhode Island Red hen. Out front on the midway at the Test Your Strength machine, Albert Ouellette was giving o cigar to Mary Baxter who had just rung the bell. lt was here that Jack Connor, meat cutter at Connor's Super Market, ran into Al and they began to talk of old times and what some of their class- mates were doing. Raymond Ofiellette, a travelling sales- man, is out West. Norman Bourgeois owns and operates Alec's Soda Shop. Janet McPartland and Mary Carroll are co-owners of a stable and have a filly entered in this year'S Kentucky Derby. Diane Miner and Laura Perusse are ,enjoy- ing enormous success in the restaurant business. Marion Belanger and Marilyn Rogers operate a Beauty Shop. A new clothing and cosmetic shop has been opened by Irene LaFlamme. Robert Cote is manager of a new open air theater that has recently started in Amesbury. Mary Malone and Mary Greaney have just made the headlines again as members of the Elizabeth H. Whittier Club. Mary Cady, Arlene Doherty and Patricia Berry are telephone operators. Huge profits have been taken in by Laurel Dickens, gas station attendant, selling lpso gas. And Doherty still pursues the maniac. Maniacs, madness, bombs and bluster. Shall mankind overcome these? . . . Ah! for the gift of prophecy.
