30 THE ORACLE masks their identity was a dead giveaway, I could easily tell it was Charles Smith and William Schrader. I heard a familiar scream- why, those bandits were robbing Eleanor Baker of her jewels! This was too much for my constitution. I picked up my paper again - but this time to fan myself. Peace settled over the station once more. But it didn't last long, for soon I was forced to slump down in my seat to escape the horrid tobacco fumes coming from IVa1t Silvers' pipe. iWalt was sitting next to friend Squeak,' Steele, and both were on their way to the Elks' convention in Kansas with brother Elks Hem- street, Henry, Hilly and Hennelly. Their train soon pulled in, and they departed very hastily. Their places were immediately filled by gossip columnist Doris Seney, author of the daily news feature Between the Munitionsn, and her two strapping bodyguards, Martin Geraghty and Al- fred NVashburn. From the venemous glances of her column's latest victims, homewrecker Winnie Robinson, man-about-Mayfield Donald Brunner and Broadalbin divorcee Eleanor Swarts, Doris certainly needed two huskies to watch over her. Just then I was aroused by the noise outside the station and looked up to see what was coming into my life. It was none other than Morris Robb, followed by the state's star football eleven, the G-ville Giants. I recognized among them such stellar gridiron heroes as Joe Kovarick, Dick Hanft, Howard Snook, Johnny Steele and waterboy Joe Nicholas. When this excitement had died down some- what, whom should I see lugging their suitcases but Bev Hine and Jeanne Bernard, waiting for a train to carry them to the Prom at Annapolis, where they hoped to find their P. M. I was startled by the sudden appearance of an extremely sophisticated looking person who spoke to me as though she knew me. This turned out to be Lorrayne Hand, now Mrs. Benjamin IVerthma.n, who was just returning from her fiftieth trip abroad. As women will, we became engaged in conversation, and were soon dishing the dirt to beat the cars. Lorrayne called my attention to a poster with the following printed in huge red letters: ONE DAY ONLY July 7, 1947 FEIT AND BLANCHARD'S FOUR-RING CIRCUS Featuring Such Stars as MYRON DEVENBURGH-The Living Skeleton DONALD TREVETT-Successor to Arbuckle MILTON LAZARUS-- The Original One Long Tan Peanuts on Sale by Mr. Harold Hopkins ADMISSION 250 I noticed next to this placard a picture of Jo E. Autilio smilingly displaying sparkling white teeth brushed twice daily with Painter's Tooth Powder. Hearing a great commotion, I looked up to see Shirley Brunner enter the station, followed by her meek, diminutive, and extremely hen- peeked husband, Mr. Keith Houserman. Shirley was doing all the talking as usual. Suddenly she whirled on her spouse quick as a flash and knock- ed him flat with a pile-driving punch to the but- ton. A crowd gathered about the prone figure on the floor. Then in blew reporter Marv Lif- shutz yelling, XVhat's happened? Let me through, willya? Dr. Elsie Buff then shoved her way through the crowd followed by her nurse, Mildred Seelow. I'm afraid he's dying, Dr. Buff announced after an examination. Rev. Edward IV. Miller appeared, and knelt down be- side Housermang at the sound of his voice Keith regained consciousness and started yelling for his lawyer, Dolores Havliek. Finally Joe Cris- tiano, successor to Taylor and Gable in the movies, took Mr. Houserman home in his own 48-cylinder Silver Streak. Then porter Patsy Semione entered with a broom to clear up the remains of the brawl. I suddenly noticed that this waiting room was equipped with a dilapidated vintage of '23 radio. Lee Neivert, who was sitting next to Elmer Pas- sino in a corner, nudged him gently in the ribs and said, C'mon toots, let's swing it!', lfllmer got up and turned on the radio. And what should issue forth from the loudspeaker but the melodious strains of Chuck Getman's Swing Venders, accompanied by the voices of the Three Little Asparagus Tips, none other than Ann Politsch, Viva Hunt and Helen Topliff, singing an old favorite entitled He Ain't Got Rhythm, which referred, no doubt, to -the old maestro himself! . p I
