Ed. Can't get away from the old gang, eh? Bob. Say, get away, why on the way to work every morning, I pass Bill Boyle's Barber Shop and has he ever got an outfit. Dick Baker, Ken Boller, Joe Bush, and Bob Callan have been cutting and pulling hair for him for five years now. Don Perry has been with him for two years this coming June, shin' ing shoes, and Bill Moore and Chester Moorhead of the Moore E? Moorhead Hair Tonic Co. have been supplying them since they opened. Casey. That reminds me, Silvia Greenbaume runs a beauty shop next door to Joe Helfer's Glue Factory, and she has Marjorie Goodman, jean Haynes, and Virginia Hermanson working for her. Norma Brunf ner is the manieurist and Colin Le Feuvre is her hair stylist. Prof. I hear that the Van Dermeulen Press is boom' ing now too. Howie edits a fine magazine called The Whys and Wherefores of Life. Joe Parks and Art Zwiersehke, his associate editors, are a great asset to the company also. Charlyn Fisher is the advertising manager, Nancy Lee Smith is circulation manager, Arline Farber and Warren Wightman are the literary editors, Eileen Franks handles the Art Department, and Dorice Parks is Howie's private secretary. Marian Lebo designs covers for the magaf zine with the great help of Ed Karnofski and Harrif son Bush, and Guy Rindone takes care of all the photographs. Betty Feuchter and Betty Tashenberg write edi- torials while Jean Vawter boosts circulation by send' ing Art Hausknecht, jim Jimenez, Dick Jones, and Martin Kiel out as district heads. Ed. Doesn't Frank Keleman, Bill Kirchgessner, and Marven Kirchoff drive Howie's trucks? Bob. Yes, they do, and did you see the sky writing, advertising the magazine, done by Anne Russ? She always did want to be a trick flyer. It's too had she lost her record to Beatrice Bahn back in '48. Prof. They tell me Phil Damm is a successful busi- ness man now too. Bob. Yes, he's head of the C. I. O. local 21. Casey. Helen Jacobson has charge of an employ' ment bureau and so far has sent Mary Ann Kline, jean Klipfel, Eleanore Melonia, and Mary Margaret McDonald all out into the business world. Bob. Well, I've got to get back to the office to close a deal with Bob and Bill Schreiber concerning the Brew Masters' Ball. Drop around sometime. fChorus of good-bye, etc., goes offj Ed. What did you think of the circus last month, Prof? Did you see it? Prof. Yes, I saw it. Were you both there? Ed. and Casey. Sure, we wouldn't have missed it for the world. Casey. Did you see Bill Reid and George Diestol feeding and watering the elephants? Ed. Yeah, and Don Reideman and Bob Trimmer were putting on their clown makefup while I was talking to the tall man, Gunner Hanson. Prof. Ora Kibler was lifting 200 lb. weights in the side show and Howard Baumler was letting elef phants stand on his chest while Fenton Harrison and Harry Cook were playing catch with cannon balls. Casey. Did you see Betty Antram Smith ride bare' back in the big top? She must have learned that from the riding club of Bennett. Prof. Let's try and remember some of the ones who graduated back in '39 and see if we know what they're doing. Can you think of anyone, Ed? Ed. Well, let's seegHarry Bame wrote a History book-ah-Bill Bender-he's manufacturing pretzels now-jack Ehrenburg is a street car conductor for the I. R. C.-Bob Fergueson, let's see, I think he teaches typing at Bill Harrington's Typing School-- then there's Paul Garonef-he's head of the S.P.C.A. here in townfhow 'bout some of the girls? Can you think of any, Casey? Casey. I'll try-I think Audrey Deuchter is a dress' maker-Janet Dickinson and Adele Cantor are in Social Welfare work--Connie Church is in charge of the Buffalo Public Library, I know-Sally Collins is head of the Campfire Girls--Shirley Fisher, I know, works in the 5 E? 10 cent store downtownf -Y Chris Gibson takes pictures for Click magazine. That's about all I can think of right now. Ed. If I remember correctly, Bill Campbell is an insurance collector, Bud Jones is the golf pro at the miniature golf course at Crystal Beach, Bob Perry has charge of the Davis Cup matches in Buffalo, Abe Goldfarbe, Irv Greenbaum, and August Gold' enberg run a clothing store, Norm Weber owns a cleaner's establishment, and Frank Sword is a hall monitor at the City Hall. I'll see if I can remember some more . . . Prof. Bill Regan teaches sewing at the Buffalo Sem, Art Mason is the keeper of the Buffalo Zoo, Bud Pierce is head of the Altar Boys' Guild for Western New York, Tom Robert's talent has won him a position in one of Major Bowes' units, and Rowland Werner runs a radio store. Ed. Radio S- that reminds me, did you hear Art Richtand's program with Alice Law, the other night? fEnter Alice and Art, Art. What about our program? Didn't you like it? Ed. Well, here he is in person with the better half of the program, Alice Law . . . Hi, kids. QHellos, etc.j Prof. How's your program going, Art? Art. Not bad, not bad 'tall. How 'bout it, Alice? Alice. It'd be better if that crazy announcer Ed. Russell only knew what he was talking about. We're sponsored by Bob Seitz's Perfume Co. and it makes Ed. talk through his nose. Art. Really though, we've got a pretty good prof gram. Last week we had a Stump the Experts program with Frank Carrig, Andy Keller, Dexter Shiomi, and Dell Stokes, and boy! are they smart. We gave them questions from Bob Howe's book on HighfSehoology and they sure knew their stuff. Paul Garono works in the control room with Mat- thew Gallagher. Maybe that's why the program doesn't sound so hot. jim Herbert sings cowboy songs with his guitar every afternoon at 5 :30. Casey. Who writes your scripts for you, Art? Art. Why, Art Crout, Bob Day, and John Dwyer have been writing together and Don Gardiner writes all the music scores. Alice. We couldn't go on the week before last due to the Donald HardyfWallaee Barnes fight. Lee Miles refereed that match and I think it was the biggest spectacle of the season. fConti11u.cd on page 801
