June 1937 The Petrolia Page 13 1947 Excerts Continued 18. Irvin Kwock wants to be sure he doesn ' t catch cold — as a result lie carries his (stove) pipe willi him in all weather. Better get a patent on the idea, Irvin, and sell it to the Eskimos, or it might go over big with these Lit- tle America Exploration Expedi tions. 19. Jerry Sagaser can always he found snoozing over his pipe dreams — we are willing to wager that his dreams are not on his- tory or bookkeeping, but then who wants to dream about school work? 20. Here is an exclusive snap o£ Leslie Stephens and Allen Smith as they make a graceful (?1 exit after a visit to see their lady love. It looks as though the old man ' s foot was large enough for two — or maybe he took two strikes. 21. H o w a r d Uhl and Dale Western are on a sit-down strike (Note: If we were they, we ' d stand up long enough to loot for some shade). From the glum looks on their faces, it is evident that neither Louise nor Selma is anywhere in the vicinity. 22. Melvin Cowsert and Wal- lace Culley seem to be working very hard — maybe not with their arms, but obviously with their tongues. These worthies are dig- ging a cyclone cellar in Tangan- yika. 23. Berta Jo Cook has now be- come dictator of the Social Uplift Club. She first started dictating to Lawrence T e a 1 e when t h e y were working on the Petrolia hack in 37 . 2-4. Robert Catlin has become the real thing as barbers and hair dressers go. Here we have a scoop sna|i of him while giv- ing Basil Lottis a hair-washing. It may not he a permanent wave. ' )ut it looks as though it will h a permanent clean. 25. Lulu Beckman has just placed her star in stardom (and a big star, too). Last week Lulu made her debut as an actress in the production Lulu ' s Back in Town. 26. Just why could Efton Kel- ley be looking so downhearted? Betty Boughan, the shy young thing on the left, and Rosalie Haynes look as though they wouldn ' t mind helping him cheer up. 27. For the last ten years, Miss Mary Jeffers has been conduct- ing an extensive study into his- torical costumes. From her find- ings. Miss Jeffers creates her ex- clusive Jeffers styles which are now the rage in Paris. Here we have a preview of her latest cre- ation in hats. It contains an in- fluence from each period in his- tory. 2S. Miss Louise Robertson, now completely recovered from a very recent attack of Spring fever, is again roaming the mountains with her beloved herd of Angora goats. Even in her high school days. Louise had a very soft spot in her heart for goats. 29. Byron Kirkpatrick. is now one of our most famous G-Men. However, he should be more con- sistent in his disguise — silk hats and ragged whiskers don ' t mix. 30. Bill Gregg missed his train this morning. This is a tragic fact, since he is always so anx- ious to be up. ready, anil on time. 31. Here we have an action picture of Junior Jackson. The photo itself is uite good: but why should his nose be so high in the air. there are only tools in his pushcart? 32. What have we here? Noth- ing less than Bob DeWolfe teach- ing wile Maivella (Ireland) to play golf. Bob seems to be happy enough, but Marcella looks very thoughtful. Maybe she ' s thinking that the club would do more good over Bob ' s head. Or maybe she ' s trying to figure out the difference between a mashie and a potato masher. 33. Lawrence Teale is taking another of his frequent vaca- tions. He may be ill, but he looks comfortable enough. Note the territory he covers while stretched out in ease. That is the great disadvantage of having big feet, obviously they seem to re- quire a seat of their own. 34. Dorothy Smith was recently discovered in British Somaliland running a steam laundry. The process of steaming which Dor- othy uses is most unique. She soaks the garment in water, and then presses it dry with an ex- tremely hot iron. This evolves the steam. 35. Miss Erundina Ruiz is cam- paigning for the office of sheriff. Being a very determined Miss. Erundina speaks to the desert rats if she can ' t find anyone else to listen. The rats are rather per- plexed at her lack of the ' s . 36. Misses Alice Conn and June Berman at last have found their Utopia amid the many jars of creams, paints, powders, etc. of the Mummy Cosmetic Com- pany. 37. Myrtle Honsal got mad at the iron — or maybe she ' s just doing to it what she would have liked to have done to the electric chair at Mrs. Le Munyon ' s Jail- 38. Shipwrecked on an island with two adoring damsels, Betty Wood and Peggy Lahargoue, Eu- gene Hale, the renowned woman- hater, was at a loss as to what to do. Finally his energetic brain solved the weighty problem. Here we find him atop a palm tree try- ing to ' thumb ' a ride from a dis- tant boat. 39. Jack Chamberlain always was an energetic soul (we hope). He is now working up steam di- recting traffic at that busy inter- section Elm and Fifth Streets. The feet don ' t hurt. do they. 40. Now who ' d a Ihunk it! John Branson has really gone educational in a great big way.
