Pnapitectf, Mount Royal College, June 31, 1956. Dear C.C.I.: Imagine, it was only twelve months ago that we graduated from Central High School. Some of the most amazing things have happened to our fellow classmates since then. Practically everyone in both Canada and the U.S. watches Bob Alex¬ ander’s Sunday night T.V. show. Norm (Waxy) Weismose, international skier is Bob’s business manager. Oil tycoon “Gusher’’ Fenton, dropped back in town the other day to say hello. He said he had been in New York recently and had dropped into Pogue’s Palladium, the heart of the American entertainment world. On hand there was jazz enthusiast Gary McNabb and his all-girl orchestra. His vocal¬ ist was “Dinah” Babet. Pogue’s Palladium also hosted such other notables as jazzman “Go, Go, Go” Laing, master of the piccolo. Trumpeter Helen MacGregor and the ' Leslie-Bell singers (July Leslie and Gail Bell). He also noted that Pete Nicholson gave mambo lessons to all who cared to learn. ‘The Three Haircuts’, Jim Kelly, Waiter Mosser and John Turner were also on hand. It was reported the other day by Alderman E. Froberg that Dr. Donald Bures had finally conquered a theory which expounded many scientific com¬ plexities previously understood only by Dr. G. Hurst and Dr. Malcolm Brown. This theory, the Wydrzycki Theory, involved a memory course on how to spell people’s last names. Journalism continues to be a favorite pastime with many ex-Centralites. Victor Rempel’s book entitled “Three Easy Lessons on How to Play Outdoor Ping Pong” proved to be a best-seller. Don Williams’ “You Too Can Be The Life at the Party” also went over well, not to mention Dave Campbell ' s book “How To Win Friends and Break Track Records”. The Calgary newspapers, which are controlled by the Bartlett Publishing Syndicate, have much to offer of interest. While rambling through M. Gor- asht’s column, “Merv’s Society Tips”, we noticed that Messrs. Powell, Clap- ham, Kelba and Davidman poured tea at the annual social bonanza the “Ram- Zaar”. Honored at this year’s function was that emminent authority on child psychology Sir Cecil of Eaves. Turning to the sports page it was interesting to note that Lionel Singleton had set a new record in the caber toss. His outstanding feat, was surpassed only by Robert McArthur’s conquest of the City and District Pool Champion¬ ships. Experts of the cue Hudson, Chapeau and Letrud, eliminated in prev¬ ious competitions, looked on in amazement at Mr. McA’s achievements. An advertisement that immediately caught our attention was one pub¬ licizing Bond’s Eye Wash (now you too can have eyes that flash like mine for only 59c). It was situated next to an ad. which urged you to ‘Learn to Drive the Baker Way’. Doreen’s advertisement featured a testimonial from that celebrated example of cautious driving, Bob (I’ll see you in traffic court) Vallat. Several of the graduates of 1955 are now famous movie personalities. For at present a remake of “Gone With the Wind” starring “Marilyn” Pearlman, “Clark” Whitman, “Rita’ Fisher and “Rory” McNamara is showing at :o
