A cablegram was delivered From Peking, China, At that moment, Saying that Ambassador Needleman Was unable to attend, But that he Had sent his message Through the Secretary Of State, Tony Yankowskas, who At that time was in the cabinet Of President Julius Kramer. Speaking of the Nation’s Capital, The Sargeant-at-arms of Congress was none other than Lenny Speiser, who Had received his training in The Glenville corridors. But the party went on. Lillian Lobe took her Group into a corner And began reminiscing. Robert Doig told the Bunch funny stories, And Dorothy Gallin actually Laughed. Bertha Chaplin, the Foremost novelist of 1950, Read one of her shorter works. The book was published By the Baden, Beller, Burkhardt, Botnick, and Baer Book Co. The story dealt with A multi-millionaire Who rose from the position of Bell-hop and usher To owner of the greatest Chain of theatres in America. Of course everyone knew He was Israel Krantz. The Right Honorable Moe Leeb Interrupted the program By calling out “Fellow Constituents— I wish to—” But he was drowned out by The noise Made by the Entrance Of the Three O’Clock Club, The original organizers Of social relief For derelicts like Joe Friedman, Bill Cukr, and Hank Fried, Among the more prominent Members Of the club Were Marcella Lewis, Jeanette Shapiro, and Yetta Kravitz. The affair Was proclaimed a success By all present, And a day was Set aside For our next reunion To be held In January, 1960, At the home of Mr. and Mrs. Lincoln Gale (nee Alice Stutz). As the crowd dispersed. In walked Leon Eisner, late As usual. [ 25 J

“As You Like it” The social hit of The 1950 Season! Glenville High’s famous Class of January, 1935, Was Holding a mammoth reunion at Glenville. Local newspapers played it up Big, since They were all under one Syndicate known as The “On the Spott Times.” Barnett W. Taylor, Already old and gray, was at the Front door To meet the returning stalwarts. Dave Kronick. Having let his hair grow to His shoulders, was the First to arrive. Under his arm he carried His Stradivarius fiddle in the Hopes that he might Be called upon to play. (He wasn’t). Next came the prominent Socialist Congresswomen: The Misses Mathilde Rosenman, Goldie Berger, and Fay Clark. While we stood in front of 106. Discussing that Curious experiment tried in the United States in 1933, The N. R. A., In walked a couple of Mr. Hart-inger's “Scholars and Gentlemen.” None other than that famous Communist Sheriff of Cuyahoga County, Bernard Green, And his political boss, Charley “Pretty Boy” Schaul. Soon we drifted To the newly remodeled gym, as the Crowd was increased by the Arrival of that history Making family, Marv Latter, Esther Bernstein, Jeanne Cohen, and Morton Newman, All Cousins, and Sidney Kanter And his five daughters. We danced to the syncopating Rhythms of Ben Jos6 and His Jazz Hounds, With Josie De George as Vocalist. Sid Grau, Chairman of the League For the Betterment of the Lives Of High School Teachers, Suggested that we take up A collection, But when Ruth Rubin and Jean Anne Forrester Entered dressed as two black-Faced Comediennes, All was forgotten In the hilarious fun. Herb Grushcow and A1 Krenitz, Whose personifications Of Percy and Sylvester, Two City folks, Has taken the world by storm, Gave one of their Acts to the utter consternation of That hermit from the African Wilds, Bernie Kurlander, who still Thought there were hill-billys In the world. ’Twas rumored that Bernie Became A hermit, because he didn’t Want people to Look upon his countenance, since His teeth were gone. Next on the program was The rendition Of the now world popular Dance, “The Wohlzog,” Invented by the Dance-Team, Sanford Wohl and Helen Herzog, To take the place Of the Continental. Lawrence Kaplan demonstrated The new hop with Jessie Baker. Miss Davies protested that The art of the dance was Lost, since The pair were too far Apart. [24]
