THE PHILOMHTH Bowen, who is employed by this establish- ment. When we ask if he knows about the rest of our beloved class, he starts to relate what he knows. Alden Lord has finally purchased the Abner Wheeler House after slaving for twenty years as the dish washer. He has hired Rose Messana and Levern Whitman as glass and pot washers respectively. Emma Zonak and Louise' Barani walk in and inform us of their new establishment, 'tYe Old Date Shoppef' Returning to the car, we see Albert Grover under the car and Severino Gran- doni on the running board, instructing Grover on how to dismount a tire. So, after more minutes of tiresome waiting we start on our ride. We ride down the Ave- nue and see Frank Wood going around the Union Avenue track trying to break Fur- bish's mile on a scooter. Proceeding to- wards Sax, we see Francis M cCann run- ning a prosperous Soy Bean farm for Henry Ford, and Richard Avery and Henry Bersanini as his ace weeders. Con- tinuing along the road, we see John Ford and Hugh Hunter chugging along in a Model-T Ford. Vin Kelly, who is running along the road, tells us that these two gentlemen are trying their hardest to bring the Model-T back into its own again. The next farm we come to is painted a bright red and looks inviting, so our driver turns in. Out in the field are Marjorie Wheet and Edith Tullio, digging in a worn-out potato patch. Getting out from the car, we start to enter the cowbarn and are almost knocked over by Henry Hickson, who is carrying milk. But, alas, we see our own Don Kinsman, who has always wanted to be a farmer, finally achieve his life's ambition. He is busy pitching hay into a wagon driven by Robert Jackson. Seeing and smelling enough of the barn- yard, we again enter our car to continue our ride through the suburbs of our town. Remembering our paper, we start to read, and notice a picture of Audrey Hofmann on a golf course, hacking at the ball, try- -na 13 ing to keep her score below 150. Marjorie Willard is seen walking the back roads arm in arm with a retired sailor boy who is quite new to us. We stop and ask her for directions to Sherborn Village, but she fails to introduce us to the sailor. Arriving in Sherborn, we are glad to hear that Julian Empey, who is running a turkey farm, has finally become mayor. He tells us of Frances Doyle, who has refused offer after offer of marriage, for she prefers to remain a spinster and live on the income brought in by selling eggs. When we reached the golf course we found that groundkeeper Charles Davis had just completed rolling the courts. The United States Tennis Champion, Lena Belloli, strolled into view with her per- sonal secretaries, Mildred Casey and Rita Collins. Gym teachers Harriet Blandin and June Lynch were on hand to cheer Lena, as were United States Senator Charles Alexander, with his bodyguard John Good, lawyer Richard Karb, and radio singers, Dorothy Gittleson and Doris Cotter. Photographer Leland Gray, Jr., snapped a few shots of Miss Belloli and some of the other notables and then hustled off. Robert Orchard and his as- sistant, Francis Mathieu, were present with their ambulance and ever active nurses, Ruth Willard, Helen Hoban and Eva Howland. Returning from the match, we refueled at Molly Angier's husband joe's Filling Station, where attendant John Corley washed our window and his helper Ernest Dow shined the boys' shoes. Salesman Francis F errick, who was sell- ing newspapers, brought to our attention several articles written by Virginia Gahm. It is rumored that she develops her exten- sive vocabulary with the assistance of head librarian Constance Durkee and her assistant Barbara Clark. Her feature arti- cle presented Theodore Hawkins, the mod- ern HBabe Ruth, whom owner Arthur Cunningham had just sold to the Nobscot

12 see, much to our amazement, none other than Marion Lewis and Stanley Kittredge, still in the courting stage, sit down on this now unoccupied bench. Continuing our walk we see a man perched on a soap box, swinging his arms, trying to sell something. Being interested, we approached this ora- tor, to see Edward Gareeau trying to sell to the public a bottle of body builder- upper. Standing beside him is John White, who we see is an example of what this firewater is capable of doing. Our appetite getting the better of us, we step into HThe Better Duck Inn restaurant. Going through the door, we toss our gum towards the gutter, where we observe street cleaner Dominie Merloni, who is constantly on the job. Proceeding through the doorway, we are greeted by proprietor William F erriter, who beckons head waitress Margareta Peterson to show us to our table. Our food is ordered and as we look around we see Theresa Pev.ieri's head bob back and forth by the hole in the kitchen door. At the end of our table is a nickelodiong in it we place a lead nickel, and the romantic voice of our f'Sun-kist Phyllis Walsh reaches our ears. Through her courteous coopera- tion, we hear a new ballad entitled VVhen the Humming Bird Returns to Framing- ham, composed and sung by Mary Young. Our food, which finally is served, is known as the 'fDucky Wucky Specialf' nothing but roast chicken created by Dan Murphy. After our bite we leave this place of Fresher Finer Foods to see a large win- dow, across which is painted in gaudy let- ters, 4fHow to Stay a Bachelorf' Now fully interested, we walk in, to be greeted by none other than Robert Clinton, who em- ploys as his ace bachelors Joe Fedolh, Ea'- ward F. Parker, and Arthur Perham, who has divorced Eilene Sullivan. The shock being too much for us, we hastily leave and are about to enter a long, shiny black car when John Saunders hops from the driver's seat and informs us that the car THE PHILOMHTH is owned by wealthy cigar maker Saul Lodgen, who makes the familiar El Cab- bego cigars. Unable to find any vacant taxis, we start to walk and are attracted by a new skyscraper being created by Joseph Nieoli's Construction Company. Balancing on one of the girders, Joseph Bertolino is trying to eat his lunch with one hand, catch rivets with the other, and hang on when he has time. Tufanio Taralli is on the ground, heating and throwing the rivets to Joe, at the same time dodging wheelbarrows pushed by Roy Gil- more, Charles Babuka, and Richard De- lage. John Speer offers us a drink from the water pail which he carries around trying to make an honest living. Having trouble with the machinery, Nicoli sends his right- hand man, William Tomkinson, over for new parts to Jimmy Phipps' junk yard, and orders his left-hand man, George Sydow fwho recently tried to start a race track at Dennison Dump, but failed, due to the trouble from the dump ratsj, to dis- mantle the broken machinery. Leaving this scene we are intent on seeing the resi- dential and farming districts of Framing- ham. Before we leave the town we stop at Ronald Neitz's Donut Shop and are waited on by Louise Tosti, as Neitz and Pafriek C eeearini are busy making pastry behind the big glass window front, so busy they don't see-us. Coming through the door we see that Bernard Featherstone is still walking the streets selling papers. Being old friends, we buy a paper, hand him a nickel, and say, ffKeep the changef' As we walk along the sidewalk, we see Aleide Belloli sitting in a car and we hurry over to greet him. Finally after a weary- ing conversation he asks to take us for a ride. All agreeing, we pile in, only to get a flat. Since none of us wants to get dirty, we use another lead nickel to call up Ray Gent.ili's Master Service Station. With a few seconds left to sip a soda, we advance towards the Crown, which is still the hang- out. There we order a soda from Walter

Viola Jubinville, Rita Ottaviani, June Petheriek, and Rosemary Giallombardi are the wait- resses, under the supervision of hostess Corinne Wilbur, and report each morning to timekeeper, Sylvia Whitman. As an added attraction, the hotel boasts of a fine hairdressing shop run by the noted hair stylist Helen Buianowski. She is aided by Margaret Haggerty, Marie Mail- THE PHILOMHTH hoit, and Angela Lapenta, with Linda Powers as manicurist and Jennie Costanza as Helen's private secretary. Sophie Olszewslei has recently been appointed switchboard operator, succeeding Ruth McGraw, who left on her honeymoon.

Audrey Callahan, his secretary, is busy milking the cows, aided by Mary Jennings and Ruth Johnson. Cattle inspector Nancy Gavin had previously tested the bovines.

Livia Dellasanta, well-known lyric writer, is to pen words for the music, which was composed by Frances Speranza, and Muriel Pleshaw and Norma Nobilini are to design the cos- tumes for these future artists.
