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.

June 1937 The Petrolia Page 15 1947 Excerts Continued 41. Prohibition Jack Lacey refused a drink at the stag party of the Spit and Argue Club. The other boys are shown from left to right as Ed O ' Neil. Roy My- ers, Robert Kemp, and Dale John- son. Of course you realize that the boys never take anything stronger than ninety proof. This, however, is Ed ' s famous brand of power bouse fire water. One glass and you ' ll face any woman on earth. 42. Dale Greve always has been fond of fowl — foul tricks on his cousins, too. Here he is with his pet bantam biddie under his arm. W h en he milks. Dale squirts m ore mil k down the chicken ' s throat than into the bucket. 43. Sewell Peck (left) and Har- old Powell are pretty good fish- ermen — that is. when they fish. Here they are shown as they leave home, where their wives can see them. But just wait until they lilt a nice shady spot. Then off will come the fishing equip- ment, and down will go the boys to mother earth. 41. In spite of the fact that she is working hard. Gale Fultz looks rather wind-blown. 45. Hershel Davis made quite a name for himself as a bull- fighter at Madison Square Car- den. Only one animal has proved to be too much for Porkie — and that was the Oklahoma Bull. 41!. Virginia Stalnaker is run- ning the late Bill Sunday a close second. She dashes around Ihe country living off of the fat of the hmd and a few of the inhabi- tants, too. Her most illustrious sermon is based upon the expres- sion Love thy neighbor — it seems she learned to practice this motto early in her senior year in the Coalinga High School. 47. Hold your seats, folks! It ' s only the first round of the daily matrimonial squabble between Frankie Chedester and his obedient spouse ]■; v a Carmi- chael. He lays down the law, and then she declares all the laws un- constitutional. Chedester will have to become a Mormon and enlarge his Supreme Court. 4S. Evelyn Glenchur is shown here preparing some oriental dishes. Notables come from miies around to sample her fancy dish- es. 49. Don Young is the extreme- ly wide-awake chauffeur of Miss Clarabelle Bornfeld. 50. Lucille Hicks and June Martin were snapped in this pose when they won the 1947 annual hay-shocking bee at the Pleasant Valley Stock Farm. They ' re the catch of the season, boys. If they can stack hay like that, think how they could stack the hotcakes up in front of you. 51. Miss Dorothy Greve seems to have made a name for herself as a referee of championship prizefights. Dot ' s first assignment was to referee the daily fights between her Cousin Jean a n d Lawrence Teale during fifth pe- riod drawing. During a recent championship bout, the fighters seemed to experience some diffi- culty in keeping their eyes off the ref . 52. Betty McKinney gave us the biggest shock of all ' Tis a turned out just as we expected name! Something that just can not happen here. She is the tra- ditional husband ' s secretary, and has t he husband ' s wife green- eyed. 53. June Greve is running around in Egypt chasing bugs un- der tlie pyramids. It reminds hei of her year in Rugnlogy under John Cass Adams. We wonder. though, when «e see two legs instead u six on ihe insects. 54. Earlene Pharris is at the present time airing her tonsils to the tune of $13, On per annum for the Cosmopolitan Opry House. Can that lie the reason that we don ' t enjoy operas any more? 55. Helen Dunsniuir starte d playing tennis to reduce; and aft- er she became a slender pine, she kept on with the game and became an amachur chump . She is shown here in a charac- teristic pose. The male sex is conspicuous by its absence. She is another man-hater. 56. Gay Priest has just been awarded a $1,000 prize for the besl portrayal of a motto. Her motto was Silence is Golden. .Maybe ;ili the class liked her be- cause she wasn ' t forever running off at the face like some other girls we could mention. 57. Francis Prindle is now a Viennese glass blower in Avenal. He developed his wind by beat- ing those Stanford hurdlers. Prin- dle has many famous works, but his best is still the beer bottle. 5S. Melvin Powell is now bench warmer for the water boy of the Oilers , the finest pro foot- ball eleven this side of Jacolitos Creek. 59. Ailene Riggin has just astonished the world with a best seller entitled Why U. S. His- tory Is Unnecessary in High Schools. Too bad that the book wasn ' t written in ' 37. Our dear D. S. History teacher would have been given N7 of them. tin. The only thing that Doro- thy Rose has learned in her five years of married life is how to open ;i can — and even now the can opener slips occasionally. in. Lenita Prothro is the apple of the boys ' eyes. She is modeling Pi on, h dn sses created at the City of Paris located at 493 I mt street 01 . Jerry Murphy, noted bas- ketball wizard, is shown here just iii the act of kicking a ball into the basket.
