’49 BLUEPRINTS Well, HERE we ARE at another graduation night, ladies and gentlemen. This broadcast is coming to you from the old E. H. S. auditorium, which was built, incidentally, way back in 1939. And speaking of 1939, we were fortunate in obtaining a full report of the doings of the grads of that year, whom you behold before you. Here it is. Marian Carlson has outlived four husbands. Freddie Stadler is mining gold in “them thar hills.” Mavis and Helen have worked up a business finding lost articles under davenports. Two Sleepy People,” Jean Stewart and Vesta Weller, are on a radio program for the Wide- Awake Mattress Co. Bill, Local Boy Makes Good, Meyring is a janitor in the R. C. A. building. Betty Barkemeyer is Jean Harlow the Second in Hollywood. Betty and Gordon Date are teaching the poor heathens how to run a typewriter. A1 Rieck drives a race bug. Lottie Lee has a dancing school and Art Janaceck is her most budding pupil. If you’re ever down Lambeth Way you’re likely to see a sign over a little shop something like this, “Ye Olde Ox-Tail Lunch Room—Lois Smith and Betty Morris, Props.—Music by Harold Lloyd and his Boys.” Maurine Morris is a singer at the Metropolitan Opera. Bill Hardman is editor of the Whifflecorner’s Gazette. Betty Leader has a gossip column and George Luschen is sports editor on same rag. “Pinky” Rasmussen makes her living as a woman wrestler. Arnold Burtis is her manager. Bob Patterson is a stand-in for Boris Karloff and Paul is a movie director. Chuck Larson is leader of truck drivers’ local No. 99. Grant Matzen is a lumberjack. I he three Ev’s—“Walker, Wellwood and Yost are a riot in a road show now louring the country. Edith Erickson, Anita Christensen and Luella Gust took a trip to Europe and didn’t come back. So did Keith Eaton, only he went to China. Jean Busch has a theater with men ushers. If you see a big red freighter go by on the highway you will know that Shirley Echelbarger is at the wheel and Mary Denby is beside her. Following his old trade, Hubert Coyne manages a horizontal boxer—his name, Walt Fisher, “The Cedar Valley Whirlwind.” Margaret Olson and Ada Belle Dybdahl run a little coffee shop together. Johnny Bangerter started to leave Alderwood but couldn’t find the way out. Bone and Brent are super-salesmen of the Whacky Can Opener Corp. Morgan Bartlett is a professional Sandy Claws. Barbara Siegrisl has turned author and written a book on “Table Manners and How to Eat Peas with a Knife.” 11
