FARMINGTON STUDENT SAM.- No, George, but good for them. Are many of our classmates in politics? I hear Bill Bronson is candidate for mayor of Hartford on the Socialist ticket. GEO.- Yes, he is running against Louis Parrott, the present Communist mayor. What has become of lack Scoville? SAM.-AKH6 is working for the abolition of dance halls and beer gardens in West Avon. Carol Brooks is the first Connecticut Woman Senator. Quite an honor, what? GEO.- I'll say, but speaking of dance halls, Raymond Hitchcock is operating 'The Shaky-Hoof' in Burlington. 'lug' Grocki and Stanley Kacmarcik are official bouncers, while Ted Grocki is in charge of the musical program: he drops nickels into the automatic piano player. SAM.-llwhile strolling up Broadway I ran into Mary Chester, Edith Iohansen and Louise Foryan. Each is a hostess in Ioe Hassett's exclusive night club, 'Cave Inn'. GEO.- Ioe was quite a boy, Sam. When I was in 'Frisco last month I saw Iohn Silver and Bill Duff take off in a rocket plane for the moon. They expect to open new territory for the Kraft Cheese Company. SAM.- I hope they are successful. By the way, I hear that Carolyn Hitchcock is running 'The Home for Dignified Ladiesf on Avon Mountain. What is Walter Balazy doing now? GEO.- Well, Sam, the last I heard he was in Moscow, teaching those red devils advanced embroidery. Have you seen Roberta Parsons lately? SAM.- No, George, she was one of the most prominent debutantes of 1937, and she continued her social activities. GEO.- That's fine. I hear that Ieannette Zegger and Ebba Nelson hitch- hiked their way around the world. And the other day I saw Francis Day get out of his Rolls-Royce and sell apples. SAM.- A great class, George. The other day I visited Casper Wildes circus. Paul Aliano made my blood run cold as he wrestled with an ei ht- foot Bengal tiger. And the way Doris Cromack and Lillian Toth did gips on the trapeze! GEO.- Do say, Sam. Hazel Alderman, Mary Silver and Sophie Grigerick have entered the scientific field. They are experimenting with a new type of banana: and expect to remove the skid from the peel. I learned from them that Eleanor Adams, Ann Connelly, and Alice Gorman are now running that famous Eskimo institution of higher and colder learning, Winterbury Prep, in Alaska. SAM.- A great bunch, that Class of '33, and may they always be success- ful. Well, George, as soon as I lock up the office let's have luncheon together. GEO.-UO. K. Sam, let's go to the Club. SAM.- Right, and we can talk over old times. G. L. LusK, IR., '33. IO
