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.
