L VALLEY BUGLE JUNE, 1947 fWORLD NEWSJ 25 WORLD NEWS CONTAINS NAMES Glimpse of Future Provides Startling S u r pr is e s By ELSIE THAMASETT June, 1947-Ten years have passed since our class stepped out into the world. I wonder how many have found the world an easy place in which to live. I think that I shall use my radar telescope so that I may scan the globe. Since I can use it only once, this seems a very wise time to do so. I'll start at ,my old Alma Mater, Gowanda High School. Eleanor M-atekovich now occupies Ruby's desk, -and is fortified at noon- hour by cafeteria meals capably pre- pared under the management of La- verna Eels. Dolores Hill, as school nurse, is curing children's 'ailmentsg Jean Geiger has just arrived on her special Buffalo Street Helicopter, lightening the burden of that eternal jaunt every day, to work in the library. Directing our telescope on the in- terior of the library, we find several successful authors in the graduating class of 1947. Why, my goodness! Is that book, My Love Life , written by Rosemary Allen? John Walthew has written the Sports Review of 1956 and Joe Gugino is still another author in the class of '47, His book is titled How to Raise More Beautiful Flowers with the Least Work . Catching a glimpse of the latest Good House keeping' magazine, I find that Corinne Parker has designed the cover for this month. Let's look about town and then go to Buffalo. Why, there's Mary Anne Watkins and she certainly seems to be establishing the new speed record between Hamburg and Gowanda, as is Evelyn Sprague between Gowa-nda and Versailles to keep up with the square dances held there. Betty Smith, another advocate of the old fashioned square dance, is calling for them at Cottage. Florence Ligiecki is i-n Harvey 8: Carey's now, but she's still jerking sodas, -as is her cohort and companion, Ruth Yunghans. Helen Schwa-ben-bauer is instructing aspirant secretaries at Chown's Secretarial School and is spending -her leisure hours harkening to Bob Taylor who is playing bass in Tex Beneke's band. James Johnson is working in a General Electric labora- tory on Main Street. In a cottage small on Blank Avenue, Lorraine Dimmick is smiling fondly across the breakfast table at that certain some- one. John Andolsek is testing springs in the new Float E-Z mattress dis- played in Mendelsons' window. His testing consists of trying out the mattresses in a reclining position- school desks proved too hard. Now proceeding southward and then west across the country I find that Erleen Brooks is still searching for the Fountain of Youth in Florida. Joyce Fancher, attempting to teach Southerners the Perrysburg accent, also resides there. Another victim of the wanderlust, Betty Andolsek, is touring Mexico City. Beautiful, isn't it, Betty? Ji-m Hatfield is the strong man for Ringling Brothers in Arizona, while Margaret J-ones, President of the American Medical Association, has Lena. John as her secretary. Cynthia Parker is investigating the cases of juvenile delinquents in Los Angeles, where Bob Tuttle is starring in a new Hollywood musical. He is evidently a successor to Fred Astai1'e. Across the ocean Ruth Leisner is converting South Sea Islanders to the Christian faith. Allan Stuhlmiller is coaching Japanese boys in the All- American game, baseball, while his pals, Roger Schindler and Jack Kelley are searching for fossils in the Hima- laya Mountains. Focusing on the European continent, I find that Chuck Spire is continuing his study of music in Vienna. Carlyle Westlund, a retired North Sea fisher- man now resides in Norway. Now my telescope is focused on New York City. The scene is a busy sub- way. There is a man reading the 'I'im s. No harm in reading over his shoulder. I find that Ted Frenzel seems to be the author of .Sports of the Times. His articles include the facts that Helen Allexsaht was the winner of the world's badminton OF GRADUATES championship for women and that Leonard Nephew won the Indianapolis 500 in a car designed by Jim Witt. The Times also furnishes the informa- tion that Agnes Luine and Bob Toal are co-starring in Macbeth on Broad- way, and that Kay Hannah has been chosen one of the best dressed women of 1956. Paul Lavey has not made any definite progress on his improve- ment of Einstein's theory. Annie Monick has concocted a new dish Boiled Pancreas with Juniper Sauce , while John Crouse and Dick Geil have bred a cow which produces only rich cream. Frank Batchen left at 8:14 A. M. June 23, 1954, for the moon. Yesterday, the observatory had word that he expects to reach the earth again about 1960. Our class certainly made the headlines. I wonder how many members of our class are living in New York. Let's look around a bit. There is Irene Bonk making the display for Sak's Fifth Avenue. Alice Bilski is at the information desk in New York Central Terminal, where she'll meet a lot of people. Tom Buckley is the political boss at Tammany Hall and Margaret Gillis is manager of the Du Barry Success School here. Norm Johnson is the chief aircraft .mechanic at the New York Airport. Dorothy Kernc is posing for Halo Shampoo ads, while Rex Patterson is displaying his famous Pepsodent smile. Joan Mar- riott is a surgical nurse in Lister. Proceeding up along the Hudson to Albany, I find that Nora Krohn is handling outgoing .orders for Mont- gomery Ward. Mary Lou Vogtli, Ar- lene Steenburg, and Zelda Vannote are trying to convi-nce the state board that English should not be a compul- sory subject. Jane Bentley has a ranch in the Adirondacks, where every mo1'ning she diligently exercises her aging horse Chummy . Roger Ward, a conscientious member of the forestry service, has just combated single- handed a forest fire which threatened Janie's ranch. Having satisfied my curiosity about my classmates' accomplishments, I close my radar telescope. Surely, each and everyone can be proud of his successes.
