Cloisterette CLASS PROPI-IECY Last night I completely forgot my regular glass of Alka Seltzer before going to bed-a fact which resulted in an awful nightmare. It seems my nightmare carried me forward twenty years into 1959 when I was employed by Lamar Shimp and Lemon Weist selling Sea Food Prod- ucts from door to door in the city of Wacky Sacky. At the first door I was greeted by a baby crying, I want some sea food, Mammalu I recognized the flustered housewife who answered the door to be Mildred Bingeman and the squawking baby to be Bill Burkholder in his second childhood. Going down the steps I ran into the postman, Carl Ibach, which was quite a surprise, for I didn't think he knew anything about Post Office. At the crossing a limou- sine whizzed by driven by a chauffeur and inside I saw June Kurtz in sables with her bald-headed sugar daddy, Lloyd Myer, beside her. I walked into a public telephone booth to make a 'phone call, but could not get my party for an hour because Mary Sprecher, Audrey Hackman, and Myrtle Steffy were occupying the three-party line with their incessant chat- ter about nothing. I'd know those voices anywhere. As I left the booth, I was slightly startled by an airplane crashing in front of me and immediately bursting into flame. An alarm was sent out and the whole hospital staff of nurses came to the rescue, among whom I recognized Evelyn Friend, Mary Jane Cooper, Fay Drybread, Anna Burkholder, Mary Landis, Esther Wein- hold, Orvilla Greenly, Annetta Hainley, and Mae Fellenbaum. After the plane had burned, who should emerge from the wreckage but Daredevil Bob Wein- hold without a scratch or burn. Just at that time the Wacky Sacky Always On Time Fire Department arrived with Fire Chief Mary B. Sheaffer and her fire-fighters, including Betty Root, Mary E. Sheaffer, Mabel Schreiber, Phyllis Fry, Betty Mink, and Harold Ross Baker, Jr. I turned to see Kelly Horst, star quaterback of the Wacky Sacky Football Chasers, dodging auto traffic trying to catch a foot- ball kicked by Harold Mango from the field at the other end of the town. As I was walking past the city theater, I noticed that the feature picture was The Sheik of Arabi, starring Bill Miller and featuring R. S. Kinch. I looked up and saw a hundred-story skyscraper, none other than Dot Smith's store sell- ing original cellophane stockings. A few doors down the street I passed a Beauty Salon for Men Only, proprietors-Sarah McMillen and Jo Mondo. I met Cliff Balmer and Richard Goshert emerging with new corkscrew per- manent waves. Wandering in the residential section, I found an exclusive Kindergarten for Problem Children. The staff of noteworthy teachers included Mary Jane Haldeman, Floy Hummer, Elizabeth Rutt, Ethel Mae Swartz, Katie Good, Vera Haines, and Evelyn Myers. Their star problem Chas been and always will beh was Johnny Gudikunst, Jr. The music of a calli- ope led me to the Wacky Sacky Circus on the outskirts of town. Wandering through the side show I recognized the tall lady to be Betty Hauenstein. I desired to feed the monkeys in the menagerie and was surprised to find none other than C. A. Bishop and Ike Burkhart engaged as keepers. In the big ring I recognized June Schultz and Grace Mull, Queens of the Roller Skates, and Jo Witwer and Earla Demmy, aerial trapeze artists. After my strenuous day of high pressure salesmanship, I decided to relax at the Wacky Sacky Night Club. When I checked my coat I found Esther Nies and Blanche Mentzer to be the cute little hat-check girls. As I entered the dance hall, something which could hardly be called music greeted my ears. The ncise seemed to stop every two minutes and then con- tinue. Upon looking around, I discovered it to be Bob Zwally and his Drum Bells. Bob had to stop the music every two minutes to gaze at Mary Mohler, the inspiration for his rapid rise to success. I sincerely hope never to have another nightmare quite as awful as that one.
