June 1937 The Petrolia Page 11 Exerts From 1947 Petrolia 1. After years, and years, and years, and years of taking Bone- head English. Bill Hull is again chewing his pencil to shreds in a final attempt to pass the Subject A English examination. They say that faint heart never won fair lady, and it seems that faint studying never passed an exam- ination. 2. Ila Hensley always was kinda curious, and at last sht has found a means of satisfying her curiosity — and that of others too. Ila edits a spicy little news- paper called The Party Line Gossip . For the lowdown on somebody, Ila just glances into her obliging crystal. Watch your step, folks! 3. Between day dreams and naps, Allan McLean industrious- ly pounds away on another of his famous books on United States Economics. We wonder if he is as able to tell his wife how to balance the household budget, as he is to tell us how to balance what is known as the national budget. 4. Here we find Flossie Henry giving the unsuspecting Eugene McKiney a sample of her fa- mous fish soup. Oh, but the risk he ' s taking! Flossie ' s cooking may be described as being a lia- bility to the insurance compan- ies, but an asset to the under- takers! 5. Elton Tarzan Koonce was always a brave, heroic lad. and he gets to be more so every day. It was just this las ' April first that this noble Navy lad dashed Into the briny deep and rescued Fern Kent from two feet of wa- ter. We always knew that Elton would do something great some day! 6. Miss Jean Whitener is now (UT most famous art critic. With but one glance through her specs. she has decided the fate of many a young artist. Jean now has a studio across the street from the Alcalde University. 7. Errol Jeffcoat seems to be having some difficulties in trans- porting his luggage — after all, you aren ' t a pack animal, are you, Errol? California ' s unusual weather is rather warm too, isn ' t it? 8. With its mouth wide open, the world admires the latest Par- is fashions as created and model- ed by Miss Winnie McDowell. 9. The horse got disgusted, so Edwin Penfield and Arvilla Che- ney found that it was more ad- visable to walk — but, even walk- ing gets t i r e s o m e — or maybe they ' re waiting for a street car. 10. For cooking for two, oh, what wonders a cookbook can do! At least that ' s what Christine Stines says. She even has one very reputable book which ex- plains in detail how to boil water without scorching it. (Tip to young married women: consult Chris- tine on where to buy your ex- planatory cookbooks. 11. Emmett Ferguson once got into difficulties over some pies. For that reason, Emmett has de- cided that it would be a good idea to open a bakery, so that he can eat pie when, where, and as often as he likes. That seems to be the reason that the Fergu- son Bakery sends out such ex- cellent pies — Emmett samples them all. 12. At last, we are happy to present to you the winner of the three-day bicycle race! Miss Nel- lie Mabrey! From her kindergar- ten days until now. Nell has been a real mistress of the wheel. 13. Atop his fashionable New York penthouse, we find our not- ed statesman. Bill Ayers. gone in for gardening in a big way. Even though his vegetables fail, his beard is sure to stand by him — then, too, it saves on the razor blade expense. 14. The Masquerade Party giv- en by Miss Selma Berman last night was one of the most unique in the history of society. Here we find: Charlie Jensen making a brave attempt to smoke a pipe that is half as big as he is; Sel- ma wringing her hands in de- spair because Dale Western has failed to arrive: Ardith Gertsch masquerading as Captain Sil- ver, and appropriately so since she is now literally a mistress of silver (dollars); Harold Koehler, the hen-pecked husband with the handlebar mustaches, looking in despair at his ' docile ' little wife Polly Anna Mahon. We won- der why Polly has her hands over her ears? The clown with the mouth full of harmonica cannot be identified. 15. Frank Hawkins is now a Wall Street shark. Just take note of the ' fishy ' expression on his face. Hawkins always had an ability to convince people of things they didn ' t want to be- lieve. He even sold a refrigera- tor to an Eskimo once. 16. The latest fad among social elite is miniature gardening. Here we find Nadine Bagley showing her prize cactus gardens to Em- ma Jane Esrey. Xadine ' s cacti are really quite famous. They are so extremely delicate that Na- dine has had to import Arizona sunlight from the west so that the plants would not feel home- sick for their native habitation. 17. Remember Dorothy OdellV Well. Dorothy used to do quite a bit of dancing, but right now her dancing is done with her fingers, and not with her legs. She is head typist tor the Fraud Broker- age.
