Dorothy Wood is the Justice of Peace in Canton and she says she can marry anyone. Well, she always was lucky. My radio audience, Oscar Howard is in Reno. No, it's nothing serious. He has been there a long time selling real estate and it is said that he is making lots of money. Geraldine Northrup is the postmistress at Morley and she is capable of reading very illegible addresses. Mildred Taylor is a physical directress in a girls' college. 1She can do everything but fly. To our surprise, Myron McDermid has be- come an outstanding taxidermist known far and wide for his gold fish mountings. I have an important notice here. Elrnestine Taylor is in the fur trading business. While she is operating her gun the safest person is the one standing next to her. In the New York Times I have just read that Kathleen Brown, a W. C. T. U. worker, has started a great movement in southern New I I York by her speaking. All the people down there are moving north. Also I glanced at the Homemakers' Column edited by Nettie Mouthorp. Cornelius Mahoney is manufacturing alarm clocks. He states that an alarm clock is your best friend because it goes, it runs and it is usually on time. The voice of Betty Boop which reaches our radio audience is none other than that of Dorothy Crary. Catherine Navan is in Rochester working in the Eastman Kodak Company but she wishes it known that she is not going to slave all her life. Oh! I forgot to tell you that Clifford Bartholomew's dairy is located right next to Aldine's truck farm. Well, what of it? The time has marched by and now station X. O. P. is signing off. Your announcer is Helen Mack. Uhr Denim' will We, the Class of 1934, being sound of mind and memory do hereby make and publish this, our last Will and Testament: To the Board of Education we leave a new heating plant so that school can keep regard- less of the water supply. To Mr. Williams we bequeath all our ideas on Clubbing a High School. To Mr. Doren we leave the right to take his classes on field trips if he promises to keep them away from the water. To Mr. Blankman we leave a memorandum pad to jog his memory. To Mr. Danforth we leave a billy club to bust up the crowds in the lower hall. To Mr. Oliver we give best wishes for more championship teams. To Mr. Cram we leave a portable piano and a room to keep it in. To Mr. Smith we leave an automatic stoker so that he won't have to get up so early in the morning. To Mrs. Cunningham we leave the right to teach square dances to the Noon-Hour Club. To Miss Barber we leave a bell boy to save her the trouble of ringing the bell. To Miss Morgan the Virgil class leaves all its trots so that the class of '35 won't get them. To Miss Gage we leave an autographed copy of our sequel to Mr, Middlerib and the Bee. To Miss Scurrah we leave a ticket to Ogdensburg. To Miss Currie we bequeath a few more courses to break the monotony of her present schedule. To Miss Roche we leave a pad for the radiator in her room so that she won't get burned. To Miss Sanford we bequeath the dishes that are left after the boys have finished their course in cooking. To Mrs. McRostie we give thanks for her pleasant smile and cheerful manner. To the entire Faculty, we express a hope that some day they will again have a class like ours, a class which has caused them so little trouble, so little anxiety, and so much happiness. We bequeath to .the underclassmen our ability, wisdom, understanding, knowledge, patience, trustworthiness, kindness, prompt- ness, and loyalty as students of the Canton High School. Willie Thomas leaves his love for one girl to Billy Walsh. Bette Hunter leaves her affection for C. H. S. to Emmett Murphy.

Uhr Qllaaa Hrnphrrg nf 1934 This is station X. O. P. giving you the march of time program for 1954. The whole fworld is in a state of disorder, no home is fmodern unless all the household furnishings are in ruins. The cause for such a comm-otion is the nomination of the first woman candidate, Frances Howard, to run opposite Benton Pike for the presidency of the United States. Frank Pitts and Karl Mayhew have gone into the prize-fighting business. In a little while they expect to live on Easy Street, that is, if they are still alive. Paul Warner is one of the best artists of the day. His career began over night when he drew a picture of a college professor and a noted critic thought it was Henry VIII. David DePue is now a slim and graceful doctor. The change oame to him 'when he began to use Harold Smith's Weight Producer. Harold is a pharmacist, you know. The once silent Robert Coakley makes a lot of noise now. He's a carpenter, but he referees ball games on the side while his blue-eyed wife looks on. V Leonard Fisk is out west acting as sheriff. He tries to be serious and vicious but his at- tempts don't seem to affect the ladies. Leona Beckstead is a famous detective but she could never figure out why her best boy- friend married her twin sister, Leola, now the happy 'mother of six children. Ralph Dona. -has become a successful New York taxi driver, especially noted for turning corners by one wheel, the one with which he steers. Martha Clark is in the vicinity of the Rio Grande. There are rumors which say that she is following certain bandits and others state that she is hunting for gold. Dorothy Wade is the proprietress of a boarding house. Since one of her boarders informed her that he led a dog's life while married and because he growls now and then, she has economized by feeding him dog biscuits. Donald Crary is an insurance agent. He puts on a hard look, doubles up his fists for effect, and sells a lot of life insurance. The scientific writer, Merton Smith, has completed a book entitled Science Dealing with Manners. It's splendid, all about why one should have manners and then use them. There's a lady who works by the night in- stead of by the day. This is Madgeline Cota, a night nurse in the Potsdiam Hospital. Willmer Thomas is a chef in a Boston hotel and how he can cook angel food! The saxophone owned by Francis Christen- sen has taken that boy far from home. He now plays in the Rochester Civic Orchestra. George Crary is still wandering about look- ing for a job. He says he hasn't had one since he left Canton High. Eiileen Lynch is giving dancing lessons. The class is strictly select. Could you imagine Aldine Stevens running a truck farm? Well, she does and she calls it Cl'ifford's Garden of Eden. Anna Barb-er has become the nightingale of America since .she began 'singing over the radio at night. Helen Tupper is the matron of an orphan asylum. She kfeeps the children quiet by playing the latest hits of the season on her piano. Ethel Peters is in the movies playing op- posite a red-.headed man. Ruth McKimm is running her own farm and I guess she is making as much money as the rest of the farmers. Bernita Rexford is teaching in the little white school house on the Pierrepont road. She loves this road because it brings back memories of the time when she used to wear her shoes out on it in the days gone by. And now for a surprise! Bette Hunter is in Lake Placid doing fancy ice skating. They say she draws quite a crowd. Marla Snyder has joined the Jolly Ring Circus. She does trapeeze stunts. But then, everyone knew she .had high aspirations. Harriet Sellers is someone's stenog. That someone is her husband. No sir, she doesn't believe in taking any chances. Di-antha Purvee has just realized the desire of her heart. She is putting a house in order on Lincoln Street. Frances Cotter has gone to Paris to study. She has decided that everyone should study the Parisian styles. Emery Bacon is a missionary in China. Ilaawrence McDermid is there too. He has ex- plored the whole country and is now writing an address to be given when he returns home. Emery will give the address, by the way.
