Margaret Morse and OreLlana Ewers are still trying to decide upon a vocation. We should have been taught that in high school, don ' t you think? he concluded. Have you seen any good shows lately, I queried. Yes, he said. Roleyn Saul is a hit in ' Golddiggers of 195 7, ' even if she is get- ting slightly grey around the temples. Max Tucker has taken Robert Taylor ' s place — -the girls just won ' t let him alone. They say Marcella Fanning came to America just to play chop sticks in the new show. She is a concert pianist at heart. Charles Jacobs is with Ringling Brothers Circus and has a company of trained fleas. He reports that they have more intelligence than most humans. Gertie Abram- son, Luella Parker, and Josephine White have surpassed all former trapese artists. Charles Purdy is hunting wild game in Africa, I told him. He always did go in for that sort of thing. He has hired the great author, Wava Rose Williams, to write his animal stories for the kiddies ' hour when he returns. Bob said, Remember how you used to kick up your heels and talk about being a ballet dancer? Yes, I remember, I answered, and I haven ' t given up yet. Maybe when I get a little older! I ' m only thirty-seven, you know, and life begins at forty. Why-ah. Well, you see — uh, I ' m sorry, Mr. Handy, er — a — I didn ' t hear the question. ELEANORE BAKSTAD. WELL ! WELL ! WELL !

I was sitting in social science class the other day trying to stir up some interest in Congress and the affairs of the government. Finally I gave up and started talking to Bob London about the plans of the seniors after graduation. We completely forgot our surroundings and imagined the time twenty years from now. 1 asked, Bob, how are you getting along in the business of calling cattle on Mark Grain ' s ranch? I always knew you would commercialize on your voice. He said he was paid very well because everyone was in the market for a cowhand with a loud voice. And say, he said, Julia is writing an advice to the lovelorn column in the Chicago Tribune. She conhded to me that she had just received a letter from Dee Reese asking for some advice. He is in love with two women besides his wife and they are both suing him for breach of promise. James Crankshaw is handling the case for him so he shouldn ' t be so worried. Malinda Pendill is his private secretary. Jimmy has just finished writing ' A Thousand Ways to Spend Your Leisure Time ' . I told Bob I had seen James Watkins ' Rhythm Band the preceding week in New York and he was really a sensation. Louise Helme is the featured dancer and the fans say she is tops. I hear Donald Elliott is a famous psychologist now. He is at present trying to discover what makes his children so mean, I went on. Bob volunteered, Jack Shumann has taken up aviation and until yesterday when he knocked Bill Butz off the statue on the mound in Angola, Bill was the champion pole sitter. Harley Mann is an undertaker but says that business is slow since Junior Sheets, chief of police, started a campaign against fast driving. I asked if he knew what had happened to Gale Carver. He answered, She has an art studio with Mary Wells and Garoll Zimmerman. They are trying to make a new color for the labels on Bob Kolb ' s foot medicine. He is a famous specialist, you know, and wants something different. Kolb always was a little different, remember? Ruth Kiess is assisting as his trained nurse. Bob said he wondered if Robert Hall were still interested in golf. I told him that he was always on a golf course. He and John Stage are running a combination golf and bowling club. It makes a good game because it doesn ' t take so long to play it when you can pick up the ball. Jack Ritter is their personal adviser and coaches Big Ten games as a sideline. I wonder what ' s happened to our own dear Angola High School, I continued. Eddie Griffith was so fond of it that he decided to take it up as his life ' s work. He is now principal of A. H. S. and is following in Mr. Elliott ' s footsteps, Bob told me. Mary Catherine Lippincott is considered the best dancing teacher in the world. It is said that until recently she could make anyone go into the dance. She is afraid that Ray Becker and Ralph Thobe will be the first black marks on her record. Labor conditions certainly are getting bad. I don ' t know what will happen if Glen Huntington doesn ' t stop conducting sit down strikes. It seems that he and Leland Nedcle could come to no agreement. Leland just won ' t pay his mechanic, Russell Rit ter, enough for putting his Super-Charged Nedeles together. You can ' t blame Russell ' s men for wanting better wages, though. Ilo Blosser is said to have a bad case of writer ' s cramp since she has gained such a reputation as a journalist. Jyle Millikan is her private physician and prescribes a few trips abroad. By the way — did Violet Butz ever become the beauty operator she spoke so much about? I asked. Well, yes and no, he said. She has dyed her hair bright red and is one of those operators who says, ' Number please, ' whenever someone lifts the receiver of a telephone. Violet Eisenhour is selling a new beauty creation which is guaranteed to remove wrinkles. Paf e twenty-two
