Ju:-me 6, :asa ZURICH DHILY PRESS P965 2- Two-Nmun: Nuts Track officials be- gan to investigate the two-minute mile run re- cently 'by LeRoy UThe Legn Kalkbrenner. When asked how he gained the sudden speed to break the record set by HThe Flying Parsonn, Gil Dodds in 1948, NThe Leg' said that the only thing that could have possibly given him the speed was the tooth paste he used the morn- ing he ran the race. It was a new atomic tooth paste.-secret for- mula U - 9.9996. WFeetsW Longrun, who crossed the finish line a few seconds after UThe Legu and was there- fore the closest to him, told the officials that he was able to discern strange sparks flying from his body, and that he saw several objects revolving swiftly a- round the top of Kalk- brenner's head. Dr. Pessis, who made a thorough examination of WThe Legn, said, UHe seemed to glow in the dark, and I got a shock when I touched him In If the fraud cannot be proved, Kalkbrenner will have run the mile faster than anyone to date, and probably for many track meets to come. V SIGN Gum. PLRYER The WBloomer Girls'U front office announced that they have just signed a new first base- man, Helen Gehrke. She has been considered one of the greatest finds in the history of girls' baseball.

His almost uncanny skill in the Wsport of kingsv has netted him 8l52,645.82, the result of a lucky hunch, as he calls it. His faith in Miss Sue Schweda's horse, USouthern Comfortn, was rewarded when the horse came in first and paid 577 to l odds. Mr- Christensen is in the Wesner Memorial Hospital, recovering from shock. After he had passed two nights in a coma, the famous psychoanalyst Dr. Norma McDaniel was called in on the case. After an- other day of treatments Dr. McDaniel revived NChristyH with essence of licorice and pepper- mint drops. -EJNNE.

Miss Sue Schweda, who has recently bought the Calumet Farms for which Uwhizn rode, was puzzled by Ladd's ac- tion, since he was vot- ed the best jockey of l954, and received this honor again in 1955. Calumet Farms is just one of the idle playthings of the mill- ionaire heiress, Sue Schweda. She is rapid- ly becoming known as Wthe queen of the sport of kings.W Rumors that WWhizN has turned bookmaker are without foundation.

Wcwapaem We breezed into Ela in '45, Full of pep and man-alive! In our senior year we've been going to town With the help of our president, old man Brown. Now that we're leaving Ela's hall, We'd like you to meet us, one and all: First on our list is a Ladd named Bob, Whose jokes are as spicy as corn on the cob. Helen Gehrke, we all recall, Was a whiz at the game of basketball. And we can't forget Christy, our blue-eyed boyg Around the gals he was shy and coy. Phoebe, our editor, was wondering whether We'd ever get the nElyteH together. Our dapper blonde senior, Calvin Luce, Kept the wave in his hair smooth and spruce. There's the typing speed queen, Anna Mae, She really made hard study pay. For piano playing with a boogie beat We call Cuscaden to the driver's seat. Anita Stahl was famed for her hairg Its golden hue was beyond compare. Tommy was the nman with the jokegn We laughed at every word he spoke. For a little girl with a great big smile, Marlene Eide would set the style. We envied Jack, his carefree ways, And the naps he'd take through the long school days Juanita Pelz had many beaus, Quiet ways and pretty clothes. NGentleman Bobn was Harkness' nameg Among the girls he made his fame. Herbie Holst seemed sweet and shy, But underneath--man, what a guy! Susie had an ear for song, She sang nDe De Den all day long. There's a boy whose free throws brought us fame, LeRoy Kalkbrenner is his name. Nancy's eyes were big and quiet, But a flick of her lashes caused quite a riot. Sandman was our football king, And a well known guy in everything.
