She is now employed by Montgomery Ward 8: Company as wall paper and linoleum designer. Her designs now grace the walls and floors of some of our finest homes. She also does portraits in her off hours. At the start of the Army-Navy game this year. you could have seen a man smothered in a large bear skin coat on the fifty yard line. If you had pulled down the collar, you would have seen Ace Sports Reporter, Donald Blaney, of the Times. And who would have thought it! I find that the team of Maxy and Donney, super strong man and woman act de luxe, is none other than my two classmates, Max Penwell and Donna Belle DeWitt, respectively, who have commercialized their talents. Al-most any evening on the radio you can hear: Station W. D. M. C. now brings Lillias Peacock, storybook lady, with another adventure in the lives of Betty and Mary in Story Book Land These programs are sponsored by the Daisy Maid Coddled Egg Company and are broadcast on the N. B. C. hook up from coast to coast. - As the starting flag was flashed downward, tfhere was a tremendous roar. Forty-two high pow- ered cars dashed forward with Grey Best at the wheel of a light blue car. Grey didn't win at India.n- apolis this year, but he proved that the old Essex has the ZIP that will -bring him in first some day. A king in his own domain is John Heiermann. He is none other than Mrs. Horace Coverley's fthe billion-dollar widowj trusted chauffeur. No fears has Mrs. Coverley of an icy road with Johnny at the wheel. Margaret Richter is still writing admits for students but on a much larger scale. She is secre- tary to Dean Knoblauch of Stark Institute. With several thousand students one can see a reason for her having several expert admit writers under her. She writes only the first class admits. Goldie Leiter now has her name on a national product. It comes in pint and quart jars and bears the name, Goldie Leiter's Home Made Relish. As an advertising scheme she is sending a third Byrd expedition to the South Pole. Now Admiral Byrd will have to eat relish on his grapenuts. On the Flying W Ranch out in Wyoming, Mr. Howard Walker and Mrs. Opal Rough Walker are living a quiet life. Their home is situated among the hills and brooks of t'he great West. They deal with Swift 8: Company for their farm produce. The son of the Indiana and Michigan Electric Company executive has had a jolt. Electric power has become second to the sun's power, which is now being used in all our factories. Fred Riley, how- ever, still operates the power plant on the river when clouds cause a power shortage. Elouise Squier, under the professional name of Madam Nomorra, is looking into the future for her clients at five dollars a look. Not bad! As long as her system holds good we needn't worry about her success . Little did Mrs. Whitman realize how great her influence was on one member of our class of '35, This girl, Leona Kool, was so inspired that she has composed a history text which is used in all schools, including, of course, Buchanan. The name of the text is The Reign of Dictatorsf' Ruth Strunk has commercialized on the knowledge she gained while star gazing. She is using Uhat old 200 telescope now until her own 500 one is completed. Her new observatory will be on top of Tower Hill. Arden Richardson recently discovered oil on the farm that he inherited. The oil is coming in fine now, but he doesn't know how long it will last. He never was a hoarder, so don't be surprised if you see him blossoming out in new clothes and a new car soon. i'When tihe siren sounds, think of the Fire Chief. The Chief is not Ed Wynn, but Everett Deeds. Company No. 1 hasn't lost a building in thirteen years under the fine leadership of Big Chief Deeds. His comedy is also an attraction for all the little kiddies in front of the station during off hours. I found that Clarence Bradley, Foy being very dignified and keeping quiet, is now an Ambassador to the Canary Islands. The government thought he needed a little of the quiet music of the birds to create a pleasing disposition to deal with the Bonus Army. I see by the papers that someone recognized Walter Winchell digging ditches out in Oregon. Poor fellow. he didn't have a chance after Joyce Kolhlman got on the air. He never did have the knack for details that she has. Robert Willard is at the top of his kingdom. Bob owns his own theatre, and because he is his own boss and there is no one on earth who can fire him, he sings between every show. Vegstables are not allowed in the Willard Theatre. Don't blame me for what you shall have been doing fifteen years from now. I can't do anything about it. The best tfhing that I, Albert Webb. have done in these fifteen years is to get a job cleaning fish at a dollar a day I a dollar in this year of 1950 is worth only 33cJ. Remember, I am a minor and cannot be sued for slander. Seventeen

With our fate safely in the hands of Shirley Rolen, president, Ted Lyon, vice-president, and Dorothy Brown, secretary-treasurer, We felt much more important. In fact, we even had enough nerve by February to give the school a Valentine party. In athletics we held our own by having two men on the second squad in basketball and eight men receiving football awards. The girls showed their ability by winning the volley ball tournament. Being typical Sophs we looked with the usual scorn on the new freshmen. In that year several men again turned to athleticsg one making the first squad in football and three the basketball second squad. In track, also, we were well represented. The affairs of our class were very capably handled by Edward Spasek, president, Cherry Heim, vice-president, and Bill Habicht, secretary-treas- l1I'eI'. This year, as we are coming close to our goal, our feet are becoming less uncertain. Gaining in athletics we had nine men on the first squad in football. g As our class officers we elected: George Semple, presidentg Eleanor Miller, vice-president, Edward Spasek, secretary, and Bill Habicht, treas- urer. M1ss Shriver and Mr. Moore were elected class advisers. Our class play, Bah was under the direction of Miss Hanlin. With only one year left ahead of us, we are putting forth all our ef- forts to make each moment count. Watry, James Yurkovic, Josephine Nineteen
