June 30, 1933. I visited a Broadway musical comedy yesterday, written by Jean Seco. I remember she was our class poetess and the jolliest girl! George Gilman, of course wrote the music. How happy he must be to achieve his heart’s desire. I admit that there were some outsiders in that show but when I saw Evelyn Miller as leading lady, assisted so meritoriously by Anna Fink, Sophie” Newtes, Marie Potter, Ethel Goldstein, Gertrude Schnarr and Irene Luchs, it was hard to believe. The leading man was Irving Rosen- berg, leader now as in days gone by. Í don't wonder, Irving always was a diplomat. It's too bad now `1 recall it, that Valerie Lew- kowicz married. Yes, Gordon Simmonds by the way. I was just thinking how wonderful she was in the part of Lady Macbeth. But thus is life. August 13, 1933. I went to the insane asylum yesterday. No, it wasn't the heat, it was merely to investigate certain atrocious charges. I heard that the poor prisoners were fed only on the moon and green cheese. I found that the head keeper was Frances Delaney, assisted by Mathilde Beller. There was one particular sad case. A young woman pessimist got so that she thought she was the color blue. In one other case a woman buyer for a house which dealt with Paris and New York thought that she had become a dress and so the poor thing had to be confined here. I was informed that a group of progressive teachers were also investigating the charges. How delighted was I to see Helen Tresch, Mathilda Scotch, Lillian Schnatz, Genieve Rizzolo, Marie O'Conner, Selma Mink, Frances Wollman, Elizabeth Hoffman, Thelma Moskowitz and Miriam Gorlin. Why we had а regular crying party because we were so glad io see each other (and not because we were in the insane asylum). 'Scotchie informed me that David Kampf Where Do You Eat? If you are dissatisfied with the food you are getting, come and see из. “Clean, Wholesome and Homelike is our motto. Prices right—food good. JOS. POSNER High and New Sts, Newark, N. J. had opened an old Batchelors’ Shop, his assistants be- ing Joseph. Issaccson, Herman Harris, Henry Harris, Arthur Heller and Stephon Hoffman. Sept. 10, 1933. Well, I did accomplish two things yesterday. I did some shopping and attended my Authors’ meet- ing. While shopping, guess whom I met? Well, it was Gertrude Wiss, married of course. I saw Wil- liam Kelly, who is a minister now; Edward Kreps, the famous saloon keeper (in the movies only), and Harry Krieger, editor of Lovelorn Kolumn” or the “Sigh.” Dora Bruder was buying baby clothes I noticed and Rosella Fishbein proved to be the owner of the de- partment store, having married the previous owner. It seemed wherever I went yesterday, I met somebody I knew. In the florist shop, I met Mathew Galansky buying roses, he blushingly told me for his grand- mother, but I stopped at court house to inquire about a deed and whom should I see but Josephine D'Troia doing the same thing as I. She had been willed a large estate and was looking to see if the title was clear. Ав we stood gossiping, in walks Lena Friedman with her brief case. It seems she has be- come a lawyer, following in her brother's footsteps. Well, this has been an eventful day. I may as well call it Remembrance Day, since Гуе met so many of my old classmates. I was so intent upon reading my diary that my heart missed a beat when I felt two strong hands cover my face, but it only proved to be my hubbie. “Say, how long has this been going оп?” he queried on beholding my diary. I answered his question and then I told him how I had had the honor and pleasure of graduating with the best class—that of February, 1923, and from the finest school in the country, the Central High School of Newark, N.
