THE MEGUNT1COOK 11 “We are sorry to interrupt this program now, but it seems that Clar- ence fell asleep while he was on guard at the studio door, and George Gill- mor and Del Babb sneaked in. We will resume operations after they have been removed.” “Station SCHS resuming the Senior Class Program ... We now present Miss Lucile Drinkwater, who will sing for you that old ballad, ‘The Face on the Barroom Floor.’ We present at this time Miss Drinkwater.” “We continue our program tonight with another short oration by Mr. Ronald Banks, who will talk to the single young men of our audience on ‘How to Love.’ Devotion for his sub- ject has placed Mr. Banks in the high position he now commands.” “The Senior Class Quartet will sing ‘There’ll be a Hot Time in the Old Town Tonight.’ This group of stars is made up of Messrs. Stephen Felton, Charles Hendrick, Charles Tibbetts, and Theodore Wilson. By the way, Ted says that the girl he marries will have to have a good sense of humor. That no doubt means that she will have to take a joke.” “You have just heard the latest news items from Station SCHS. We are about to sign off as the power in the operating room is going down. When the bell rings, it will be time to tear this up. (Rings) And now friends, I bid you goodnight.” —C. Alvin Jagels ’28 Lloyd H.

10 THE MECVNTICOOK A big, new garage in Camden Is run by Norman C. By the way, for all old classmates He has a special, reduced fee. Ellen and ever-faithful Emmie Are together as before. They’re raising a crew of young sailors, To guard our country’s shore. Emily and Carol now Are working in Bangor. At the telephone switchboard, their voices Are worshipped by men the world o’er. Charlie Tibbetts and Ted Wilson Are co-ow'ners of a store. They sell cigarettes, pipes, cigars, and such things. They’re making money galore. The Camden Herald’s head photographer Is, you guessed it, John Heald. He’s always on hand at smash-ups or fires. He’s greatly increased the paper’s yield. Peggy now owns a restaurant. The food and service are fine. If you ever happen through Camden, It’s certainly the place to dine. Lucille and Lois are travelers. They’ve started ’round the world again. I’ve often wondered if it’s the sights they see Or if they just look at the men. Maurice has taken over His father’s clothing store. He’s doing a fine business there And is expanding more and more. Dot Potter and her Eddie Were married long ago. Dot’s now busy as a bee Trying to keep Junior in tow. As for what I’m doing And where I’ve been all this time. All I’ll say about myself Is that I’m feeling fine. —Ruth Sims ’52 TUNE IN ON THIS (This is a revised selection from the 1928 Megunticook.) “Good evening, ladies and gentle- men of our radio and television aud- ience, this is station SCHS, owned and operated by the Senior Class of CHS. “Our studio is located in the new Camden Gym. The entire program to- night will consist of seniors. Your announcer, Ellen Donovan. “For the first number on our pro- gram we will hear from Miss Bar- bara Haynes, who will read a bedtime story. Just let the kiddies shove up a little closer, folks .. . Miss Haynes.” “And now, friends, you shall hear one of the future orators of the coun- try, Mr. Montford Pease, who takes for his subject, ‘Are Kools Good For a Cold?’ Mr. Pease is a very fluent speaker and I’m sure you will like this little talk . . . Mr. Pease.” » Station SCHS announcing as the next feature on the Senior Class Pro- gram, a song, entitled ‘Do You Miss Me Tonight,’ sung by Miss Glenn Pay- son. Please stand by while we hook up with Alaska.” “Radio Station SCHS, Camden, Ellen Donovan announcing. VVe pre- sent next to our radio and television audience, Miss Minnie Tranquillo. Miss Tranquillo will give a short talk on ‘How To Get Your Man.’ If there are any young, unmarried girls listen- ing to our program tonight we feel sure they will profit by paying special attention to this talk.” “The latest reports are that Jackie Goodridge is to be deported from this country. Since his arrival at CHS, Goodridge is the cause of forty-nine suicides by broken-hearted girls of CHS. This also sets a record for un- derclass sheiks.” “Mr. Victor Richards of the Senior Class today ran over and killed his 20th victim on the corner of Knowl- ton and Mechanic Streets. There is a rumor that he is in for a jail term, the faculty and police magistrates feeling that they have stood for enough of his pranks.” “As the next speaker, we present Mr. Norman Gautesen, who will give a talk on modern furniture. His sub- ject for this evening will be The Davenport.’ Mr. Gautesen.”
