THE PIONEER-Nineteen Thiwy-one guerite Smith. Smitty has a nne position in New York and lives with the other mil- lionaires in Bayonne, New Jersey. The girl who took the high marks in school, Irene Wilcox, has been teaching the children in country schools how to eat beans off a knife without dropping them and that 2 plus 2 is not five. William Berghel has stopped arguing about the commutator's merits and is working to make bigger and better wrenches at the Crescent Tool Company. I understand Bill took up Ping Pong this winter but couldn't beat his sister so gave up in despair. George Red Welshofer, who held the center of our football team inviolate a few years ago, is throwing wrenches for a loss at the Crescent Tool Company. Red has taken to dating blonds too--another good man gone wrong. Marvin johnson is emulating Robert Burns and writing poetry while he plows. The poetry is not so good but the crops grow so Marvin is a success anyway. Some of our fair graduates have entered offices and tired business men are tired no longer. Josephine jarretts spends her spare time in an insurance office. Jeanette jones, modest maiden of '29, is part of the office force at the Art Metal. Dorothy Shell, I under- stand, is employed at the Shell Gasoline Company offices. Helen Anderson has a good position with Kresge's ten cent store. Katherine Carpenter helps her mother at home and says she wants a position or a boy friend with one. Sorry I can't oblige you, Kate. Kathryn Osborne, noted for her beautiful giggle, is very domestic nowadays. I hear she has a dummy in the kitchen at which she hurls rolling pins with deadly accuracy. Matrimonially inclined fellows, beware! Evert Ecklund is learning to be a contractor with the Lyons Lumber Company. If he goes at it as he played basketball, he'll succeed. Fred Otten, who always wanted an automobile and was eager to make money, is making Seager's Store at Celoron famous among the fair sex of the village. Several of our girl graduates are co-eds now. Alice Osborne, modest Ernestine Young, Elizabeth Ecklund, and Ivy jaderstrom are at Fredonia Normal School. Pauline Lopus is attending Randolph Training School. Angelina Patti is at New York Univer- sity. She plans to join the married group soon. Good Luck! Helen Erickson is just as sweet as ever, as far as I can see. She is employed but I don't know where. Elsie Erwin has memorized the prices in the Kresge Store and is doing well. She has lost her heart to a lucky fellow and soon the peach becomes part of a pair. Good luck to you, Elsie! Paul Young, Captain Flash, who could beat anyone in the 100 yards who couldn't do 15 seconds flat, is making good with the Pennsylvania Gas Company. Paul jones has learned to spell since he left school. They say a man can move the earth if he wishes. Paul does-moves it from one place to another. He is a contractor wi

THE PIONEER-Nineteen Thirty-one ALUMNI NEWS According to annexationists, Celoron high school does not amount to much in respect to graduates. However, let them compile a list of Alumni-their minds will be changed. Even my superb brain fahemj has been taxed in the endeavor to locate each graduate, and the list is even now not complete! I'll try to give a little information about each graduate as far as possible. Alton johnson has been adding dignity to the Art Metal Co., by being present during the 'day and heating pianos with his wicked jazz at night. Wilton Johnson thought fame and fortune would come easier in foreign lands so he packed his bag and hied to Hartford, Conn. He is sharing his success with our charming alumnus, Beatrice Myers, as his wife. I might as well put all those together who have decided that two can starve as cheaply as one. Ethel johnson completed a school day romance and walked to the altar with our old friend, Glen Gill. Clarence Carlson, nemesis of husky linesmen in the days of Coach john Carr, has tackled matrimony also. Agnes johnson has definitely settled down and is bringing up a fine little family to swell our Alumni membership. Our bashful boy of a few years ago, Morris Johnson, liked playing the Farmer in the Dell so well while in school that he took a wife to prove he still knew how the song went. Harriet Gibson seems to have kept in seclusion since graduation but I have been informed that she is shar- ing a home with a nice young gentleman. Gertrude Melvin attended Fredonia Normal school and is now teaching at Glidden avenue school. She also succumbed to the arrows of Cupid. Erlene Ewing, Idella Liebler, Mabel Conklin, and Ruth Sherman have also tied a husband to their apron strings. At least I hope they are tied. I've been told jane Wilbur has joined hands too, but am not sure. I haven't told whom the young ladies have married because that informationtwas un- certain. I should hate to call anyone Mrs. Gilhooly whose name was Mrs. Splitzblitzen, international complications might arise. Some have youngsters, also, but I am afraid to say whom because it wouldn't be wise to put a baby in the wrong home. The doctors in Chicago got into serious trouble that way. Our old character Si, who is none other than Gerald Laquay, is driving a school bus and performing various other duties about our high school. Max Brown who we all thought was Swedish in 'Yimmy Yonson's Yob, is in Penn- sylvania making flour for girls to use when the powder is low or expensive. Eva Oberg and Dorothy Lechien have graduated from Fredonia Normal School and are now teaching. They always wanted to be teachers so they could chastise the kids as they had been chastised. Walter Myers, famous for curly hair and basketball prowess, is in Jamestown, making a wholesaler stay up nights to find something to keep Walt busy. While speaking of Walt, who is the Alumni president, we should remember Mar- I44l

THE PIONEER-Nineteen Tlairiy-one and doing very well. Paul's face is also familiar in the stock exchange. Mr. Jones will be our first millionaire if he is careful. Phylis LeChien seems to have disappeared, at least no information is available con- cerning her. Clifford Terrible Terry, being such a far-sighted individual, obtained a position with the Silbert Optical Co. He drives a Ford with the same tactics he used in football, passing anything moving and hurdling any stationary object. Royal Ritch, musician, poet and lecturer, is doing well at Beshgetoor's Music Em- porium. He also plays in an orchestra during his spare time. Donald Boardman and William Hillwig liked old Alma Mater so well they took Post-Graduate courses. Donald is editor of the school paper and William aided the foot- ball and basketball teams to victories. Late word comes in that Isabelle Carpenter is a bride of long standing. I hope my informant is correct. jolly Harry Fritz, of athletic prowess and mental ability, has absolutely disappeared. No one knows his whereabouts it seems. His many friends would appreciate his address or any word from him whatsoever. Last but not least comes word of your writer, ladies and gentlemen. I am at present under the observation of distinguished scientists and working in conjunction with them. This group is watching me to see just how long a person may do nothing but sleep and still not become a fossil. ELDON LANE Class of '30 E461
