(Class ' jJruplu ' cy WILLIAM HAWKINS ELEANOR JEAN DAVENPORT Time: Jovember 45, 1965, the year 25 A. C. (After Chemistry.) Place: Caricosto’s Theater (replaces the ‘‘old school building.) Characters: Humperdike Hawkins and Dimwit Davenport. DIYVMIT: I do wish this Abotander Rocket ship could go faster. My, wouldn’t you have thought that, when Andy Anderson and Henry Abbott designed their rocket ship, they would have been able to give it more than eight-hundred m.p.h.? And after having it checked at Washers’ Rocket Garage, it should fly. Wheeps! It is! This darned supersonic car will make us late in getting to Caricosto’s Theater. I wouldn’t want to miss the first night of “Down Memory Lane,” wouki,you? HUMPERDIKE: Gosh no! Isn’t it swell to be back in Green¬ field? It certainly is an up-and-coming town since Phippard’s crooked Reformers came into power. The taxes keep going up and up. Whosh—we just went through a red star. Oh, there’s the theater’s lights. We can land any time now. Well, here we are on the glass roof. Humph—no roof man in sight. I thought Don Flood was the head roof-man. Oh well, let’s slide down the glass banister. DIMWIT: Oh - will you excuse me? I want to go into the powder room. HUMPERDIKE: Sure, I’ll meet you in the lobby. DIMWIT: (In powder room) It’ll only take me a second to spray on my electric face powder. The House of Boisjolie puts out lovely make-up, don’t they? My, you know your face looks familiar. You remind me of someone I went to school with. Why, it’s Janice, isn’t it? Janice Hendrick, what are you doing now? Oh, you’re a private secretary, Isn’t it wonderful to see you again. Why don’t you come to the lobby? Oh! you have to meet your boss!!! Well, bye now! HUMPERDIKE: Hey, Dimwit, hurry up. Do come and look at these advertisements. Why, we know most of these kids! trying to convince Isabel Levy to sponsor a Charity Ball to benefit the hospital. HUMP: Now Dem, can’t you see Carol has to go? Why don’t you look at your program? It’s amazing how many stars we know. And the ads on the back page. Why, there’s Mary Jones’ Candy Shoppe. You can tell she went to G. H. S. Look how she spells “shop. Then it says here, “Dance at Cousino’s Casino.” Cronk’s Cranks play every night. And they play their own interpretations by Enderle. How that boy could write jazz in school, remember? DIMWIT: Look at this charming ad! “Koonz’s Coonskin Easter Bonnets and Sandals at Koonz’s Coonskin Shop. Oh, the the curtain is going up now. Say, it says here Scenery by Bern Ethier and Walt Peters.” Isn’t the scenery beautiful? Remember the work on the “Emerald?” They always could do beautiful art work. And the radar acousters are controlled by our old pal Joe Johnson. HUMP: Say, I wonder if he ever found out about those “flying saucers.” The orchestra is starting to play the music written by Jimmie Stamas and Shirl Williams. I hear the singing leads are Larry Masiello and Carolyn Stricgel. This ought to be good. I never knew Stamas was musically inclined. But it seems to me he was in one of our school musical shows!!! DIM: It says here that Lisbeth Babcock wrote the dialogue. That must be the Betty Ann Babcock we went to school with. None other than Keller is the director. Wonder if he ever got married? I mean people! Look at this one. “Dance tonight at the Emerald Room,” featuring Casey’s Cavaliers with Ralph Blodgett on the trombone! And then they have- DIMWIT: Hump, what or whom are you staring at? HUMPERDIKE: Look at those girls coming in! Get a load of their clothes. That mink must have cost a “couple grand.” Why, it’s Norma Waite, “Babe” Arnesen, and “Terry” Barry. Mmm! I always said those gals could wear burlap nicely! DIMWIT: They do look nice, don’t they? Gee, it brings back memories to see everyone. Not that I’m old, only a day over 21 . Well, we’d better go in. Oh, look at those cute mechanical men handing out programs. They must be remote controlled. Why, look, Hump, they are manufactured by Gavin and C. My, do you suppose they are safe! Remember the time he blew up the chem lab! HUMP: Aren’t you glad Mr. Phil Sevene (owner) sent us two complimentary tickets? Box seats at that! Mmm! It’s nice to relax a while. DIMWIT: Oh-look at all the famous people here. And they ' re all people we know. There’s Senator Alex and his wife, that glamorous redhead Helen Berry. She’s a retired nurse, you know. He looks worn out from filibustering in Congress. I should think he would, talking for three wc s. y HUMP: Don’t look now, but there’s some society dame heading our way. It’s Carol Spat. DIMWIT: Carol, over here. How are you and what are you doing now my dear? A society reporter. Oh-goody! You can tell me about all our old school chums. What? You just returned from the ballet, covering Mary T. Hanley? She is? A prima ballerina with the “Ballet Russe De Monte Carlo?” Isn’t that wonder¬ ful, and to think that we know her. HUMP: How about that playboy “Fay?” You must have heard some news about Dave. What, he owns a fur salon? “Fay’s Furs”—humph- he must be a better shot than when I knew him. DIMWIT: Excuse me, but can you tell me what ever happened to Pat Meech? Oh, she’s head of the Children ' s Hospital, and she’s HUMP: Golly, I don’t know! By the way, Annabelle Paradis, inventor of Paradis Picnic Pills, told me Jane Crepeau was teaching at the University of Massachusetts. DIM: You don’t say! Heavens! Isn’t that tune of the medley pretty? I wonder what it is. Isn’t that the second song? The program calls it “Sautter Down the Avenue.” I’m sure it’s going to be a hit. You. know, Hump, I think this show’s going to be good. HUMP: Same here. Good! Here’s the opening curtain of Street¬ er-Avenue.” HUMP: The first scene opens with a song by Mary Carroll. Here she comes now. Oh, look, Mary just tripped and-oh-the skirt of her gown fell down. DIM: Oh, that won’t phase Mary at all. Remember the Senior Play? Listen! I never knew Mary was a bass. The accordian player is “Butch” DeNofrio. I wonder if he still takes such good care of his “squeeze-box”? HUMP: Bet he does! Look, Dem, the curtain’s opening again. So she’s playing the part of the vamp. Wasn’t it nice of her to come home and play the part? She’s such a wonderful ac¬ tress. She’s always in constant demand. Remember the school plays? DIM: Look, the curtain’s closing! I wonder what’ll be next. HUMP: Here comes the master of cermonies. (The announcer comes to the center of stage.) “Ladies and Gentlemen” (if there are any.) This is Jim McNicholas your small town little guy who never grew up! HUMP: Wow! That’s the same Jim that went to school with us. Hasn’t changed a bit, has he? DIM: Shh—he’s going to tell who’s next. (Announcer:) Now folks! Burniski and Croteau, the shoe-shine harmonic boys. You know folks, Burniski runs that swank hotel “Nook’s Shack,” and Croteau runs that super-modernized drug store, “Croteau’s Pop Shop,” here in Greenfield. HUMP: Yup: Those boys are the same as ever. “Nook” still uses the bottom end of that stick of holes. DIM: Oh—this act’s different. Golly, it’s a regular “GayNine¬ ties” review. I wonder who’s in the chorus line. My good¬ ness, we know most of those dancers. Weren’t Ann Bailey, Betty Drew, Theresa Bergeron, Alice Pearson, Joan Shattuck, Joyce Waterman, and Priscilla Van Wagner with our class? HUMP: Look, Melvin Scott is coming out. Goodness, isn’t that Herb Warriner playing for him on the bugle? Say now, they’re all right. All we need now is a barber shop quartet. Well, here comes my wishes. Sonny Allen, Orin Gurney, John Mey¬ er and “Soprano” Ostroski are all ready to sing. DIM: They were good. My, it’s time for intermission. Let’s go out to the lobby. Maybe we’ll see some more of our class¬ mates. Tonight seems to be a lucky night for that. HUMP: Well, look over here. Tom Ryan, the muscle man. Say, Tom, are you still running that muscle builder course? You’d never know it to look at you. Oh, you’re playing pro¬ fessional baseball! Great! DIM : Be with you in a minute, Hump. I see an old friend of yours. DIM: Barbara Allen of all people-and Betty Chesk. You say you are both medical secretaries, and you are working for Dr. Call. Say girls, don’t those cigarette girls look familiar? Sure, it’s Ann Caron, Marie Couture, Jeanne Paquette, Margie Cheney and Nonnie Gagnon. They ' re probably talking over old times. Well, girl’s, I’ll meander on. Why, Alice Hume, how are you? Say, did I read that you’re managing a girl’s national league softball team? Oh, Hunsie Grader is the owner. My goodness! Are Lois Raymond, Connie Graves, Mary “The Giant” L. Han¬ ley, Jane Jaworski, and Minnie Graveline still on your team? Goodness, intermission is about over. I’d better meet Hump.

Hints For Fishermen 1 1 appears that some of our high- school fishermen have been ha ving fairly good luck on their favorite trout streams. Although cold weather during the first two or three weeks of the sea¬ son caused a slack in fishing, warm May and June weather has finally brought the trout out of hiding. Here are a few of the results: Donald Card- well has caught 10, David Fay 5, Bill Martin 11, Edward Mackevich 13, Charlie Gibbs 28. Walter Wandeloski 70, Ray Gagnon 30, Donald Flood 7. Rodney Teronzo 20, and Allen Ter- onzo 30. Now that the weather has become warmer and the streams have lowered. many 1 fishermen have thrown aside their worm cans and now rely wholly upon flies. Because of the lightness of the tackle and of the fact that artificial lures are used, fly fishing has always been considered the most aristocratic method of fishing. There is a certain satisfaction in fooling a fish with a hand tied fly that can’t be appreciated unless you have had this thrilling experience. Catching trout on a fly also requires much more skill than that needed in bait fishing. Fly fishing is a broad subject, but foi the beginner we might take inti - consideration the three general types of flies. The first type is the dry fly, tied to represent adult insects and meant to float on the surface of the water. These are usually cast upstream and Paul “Tracy” Burdick leaves two hundred pounds heavier than when he entered. Ted Croteau leaves his harmonica to Carl Jordan, just in case Carl loses his trumpet. Robert Edmonds leaves one of his two nimble feet to Charlie Harris. “Jimmy” Harris Laves a fleet of foot to John Taylor, in hopes that John will do his share in carrying future athletic teams to victory. Harry Renfrew leaves his job at the First National to anyone who wants it. Joan Osgood leaves her shyness to Ruth Koziski. Phil Sevene leaves his midnight walks to Chris Collins. Shirley Smead leaves her love for the out-of-doors to Barbara Curtis. Priscilla Van Wagner wills her blonde hair and a gallon of peroxide to June Seyfert. Norma Waite leaves her love for college men to Diane Rood. Herbert Warriner leaves his politeness to Mike Gexler. Jean Mosher leaves her ability in public speaking to Marcia Ingham. Lillian Morrell leaves her ability to keep out of trouble to her cousin, Phyllis Nichols. Gene Washer leaves his mechanical ability to Reginald Sey¬ more. Leo Maniatty leaves his afternoon gym periods and guidance classes to Jim Day, who undoubtedly will be in need of them. Lawrence Masiello leaves an unsurpassed record of tardiness to William O’Donnell. John Meyer leaves one or two exasperated teachers. Harry Renfrew leaves ten gross of absence blanks to Nina Daft. Richard Stone leaves his cock-eyed ideas on how to run the school and world to “Butch” Britton, his understudy. John Sadowski leaves his extra book reports to the Eisners. Donald Cardwell leaves without regret. Cynthia Holman leaves her spot in the corridor to Ruth Ethier. Elwin Baker leaves still trying to sell his 1929 Cadillac, (which he bought for $ 26 ,) {-Sr $50. Joseph Johnson leaves his poker face to John Musiak. Erwin Magoon leaves any future upholstering jobs to Brant Robinson. Dorothy Aiken leaves her stenographic ability to Phyllis Bryant. Finally Robert Thrasher leaves the frustrating job of trying to get such things as this will in in time, to some unsuspecting fool of a junior. allowed to float down with the current. Next we have the wet fly. These represent nymphs or insect larvae and sink below the surface. Wet flies are cast across or downstream, allowed to sink a little, and retrieved in a twitch¬ ing motion to imitate an insect swim¬ ming. The last type is bucktails and stream¬ ers. These flies are long and fish-like in shape to represent minnows and are fished in a similar manner to wet flies. The fly used depends on how the trout are feeding. When the fish are rising and jumping to the surface for insects, a dry fly would probably yield the best results. When the fish can be observed feeding on the bottom, a nymph-like fly (wet fly) would be used. Remember also that bass, perch, sun fish, pickerel and many other types of fish can be taken on flies. Of course, the fisherman must have a little knowl¬ edge of such fishes feeding habits in order to be successful in his attempts. Skill in fishing, as in any other sport, is obtained through experience. The more skillful you become, the more fish you will catch. Remember that the fun is in the catching and that it is usually cheaper to buy your fish in the market if all you want is meat. Good luck and “tight lines I L. H.

Monday, June 19, 1950 Page Five THE EXPONENT He’s probably tearing out his hair. HUMP: Oh, there you are. You should have seen all of the old gang. You know my old pal Don Cardwell. He’s editing the “Recorder Gazette” now. What a scandal sheet that boy’s made out of that paper! He’s got Phil Barnes writing the “Riding With Georgie” column. DIM: Really! HUMP: Yup! You know that Auto Machine Shop down town? It ' s run by John Lukow and Ray Lindell. They told me that Charlie Burr was running the gas pump. Oh, Cardwell told me that Keith Alden was in charge of the Recorder printing press. DIM: Are you sure that ' s all he does with the printing trade? HUMP: I guess so. The former Dot Crimmings is now secretary to the editor-in-chief. You ought to see their new edition. Is it snazzy! There ' s a swell society page. There were pictures of a nurse ' s charity show in last night’s paper. In it were Ann Beau¬ mont, Jane Haskell, Phyllis Rogalski, Maryanne Rogerson, “Dolly” Kestyn, Jean Mosher, and Madeline Currier. Mmm! What nurses! There was a very nice ad for Emery and Sasche’s funeral home. Then there was an item about Jack Fiske, who just explored East Hatfield. Oh-I think intermission is over. Hurry up, we don’t want to miss a thing. DIM: Bobby Edmonds is on first. He’s doing an original dance that’s the talk of the town. HUMP: He never could do the same step twice in one dance. DIM: Hump, now that we’re in here again, don ' t you notice the nice aroma that seems to be drifting in. Oh, I remember. It’s that new perfumed air-conditioning of Bob Thrasher’s. HUMP: Who’s that singing? DIM: |une Louden. What’s the name of that song? Oh--- “There’s Something About a Sailor That I Love. HUMP: There ' s a magic act next. They say Dick Metelica has turned magician and does a disappearing act with Katie Masta- ler. She disappears and so does his wallet. Then-o.k., buy me some popcorn. Why, it ' s Leo Maniatty, selling the popcorn up and down the aisles. He’s still wearing those white shoes. Oh, a word from the sponsor. Unaitis’s Used Car dealer is speaking. Don ' t tell me “Snapper” has collected that many cars! DIM: He always did like new cars. Look at that side poster, “Renfrew’s Three Ring Flea Circus. Fat man Stone is chief flea catcher. HUMP: Not to change the subject, but did you hear about that baseball bat Cobb invented? They say it ' s a curved bat for curved balls. It sells under the Spaulding’s Sport Goods. Singley was his salesman and I heard Hal Peters drives his airplane. DIM: Speaking of baseball, have you noticed that the dashing Irishman, Henry A. Boguslawski, has taken over Jim Gal¬ lagher’s place? Only he used a bus; it s easier. DIM: Hump, do you know what happened to Len Currier? No! He has a mink farm. You’d better go over and look at it. HUMP: What do I want with a mink farm? DIM : Well, you might have to buy one someday. HUMP: This is over. What say we go down to the “New Rock- etts ?” What a chorus line.—Cynthia Holman, Claire Barrett, Mary Dalmaso, Fran Goodale, Pat Hill and Bill Dobbrow! DIM: Well I’d rather go over to the party at Elinor French’s. She ' s one of the stars, and she’s invited us all over. HUMP: Oh, no—let’s—oh-all right. DIM: It ' ll be fun to see everyone and talk over old times. We’d better hurry and catch a Jackman-Woodard air jalopy. HUMP: Gee, what a swell apartment this is. They say Loretta Lagerberg did it. DIM: Isn ' t it nice! HUMP: Look at those pictures on the wall. Why, they’re done bySadowski! I never knew he could paint. Guess he must have had a hidden talent. Hey, Dim, look over in the corner. Isn ' t that Mickey Turner? Mick, what’cha been doing lately? You own a store? Swell. DIM: Bob Duprey just said he owned Bartlett’s now, and Claire Theroux just made her last payment on Skinner’s. HUMP: Why, look, there’s Stan Doore. He’s a man of distinc¬ tion now. He ' s assistant dog catcher. Got the job through his old pal Chief O’Connell. DIM: Oh, here ' s a copy of the. latest paper. Let’s look at the sports section. My, the national league baseball isn’t doing so well. Remember our senior year team? Well, no wonder. Look who’s on the team. Phil McDonough, , John Rau, Elwin Baker, Dave Randali ff I Dana Rittall, and Irwin Magoon are playing. HUMP: I saw an old football section recently. Last season ' s I guess. Jim Harris, Bill Dixon, Hallowell, Fred Bristol, Robert i Wheeler, and Tracy Burdick were on the Powertown Indians team. Imagine! Dick Blake was competing against Richard I Hayde for the title of All-American Water Boy.” DIM: Oh, here’s Poetry Corner.” That’s a quaint title. Look, : it’s written by Louise Richardson and Franny Proulx. IUMP: By the way, did you know Mackewich was sent to Tur- ers Falls as a good-will delegate from Greenfield High? He’s still there taking history. Jean MacKenzie, Jeannette Rhodes, Shirley Smead and Jeanette Curran have opened a delicatessan in the wilds of Africa, called the “Get It Before They Get You Shop. They ' ve got David Valley as their cook. He knows how to cook the best Morell Hams from Chapin’s Pig Farm. DIM: Isn ' t the music pretty? Why, that’s Dotty Bohanon play¬ ing the electric piano. She used to be a concert pianist, but now she’s playing with the “Fredette and Klepacki Symphonic Tin Pan Band. My, that tune is luscious. It just seems to remind me of an old tune. Oh, yes, now I remember, Shot 5, a new ver¬ sion of the Trolley Song by Wagner. HUMP: Did you know Gerry Sherman and Dick Hawkins are running a Veterans ' Home? Alex Lapinski, Herme LeVasseur, and Ken LaPan do all the housework and caretaking for them. Betty Phillips is the head chambermaid. DIM: Yes, and I heard that Connie Banach and Dot Aiken are head secretaries to Joan Osgood ' and Bev Putnam. Those two really went to town since they left school. It’s some kind of “Advice to the Lovelorn and Lonely Hearts business. HUMP: Well, let’s call Abotander’s plane. There aren ' t any more of our old classmates left to see. We must have seen them all. DIM: I think so. I don ' t know about you, but I can ' t keep my baby-sitter waiting much longer. Eleanor Jean Davenport William Hawkins JANE CREPEAU STANLEY DOORE Time: When the men drivers are criticized for recklessness. Place: Famous movie studio of Jane the Jolly Jinx and Simon Legree Stan Incorporated. Scene: Simon has just fired his last producer because of the latter’s failure to realize more tjian fifty million dollars on his last picture. Simon, his face red partly because of his irritation and partly because of his spirits, stomps around the room uttering sharp groans of despair and anxiety. SIMON: I don’t see why we have to put up with a bunch of producers whose stories went out with the 1950 A-Bomb.” Why can’t they keep up with the Modern times, Jinx? JINX: “Well Simon, if you’re so smart, go ahead and produce a picture yourself.” SIMON: “Oh, so you think I can’t. Maybe I will. Say—you’ve got an idea there.” JINX: “Now Simon, don ' t be too hasty. Remember the last time you had one of your bright Ideas. It almost lost us our most appealing star.” SIMON: “Who? Lassie?” JINX: No, Jane Russell.” SIMON: Well, that was different. JINX: Oh sure, it always is. What’s your bright idea this time?” SIMON: “I’ve got a super-colossal ideal!” JINX: Oh let me sit down first!” SIMON: Why can’t we have a story about our high-school days?” JINX: “You mean a story about Greenfield High School? SIMON: Sure, why not? I can jugt see it in lights now. ' The Years We Raised the Roof at G.H.S.’ ” JINX: “Oh, but no one would go to see a picture with a title like that.” SIMON: “Well, we could liven it up a little. We could call it ‘The Years We Raised umm-kane at G.H.S.’ JINX: “You know, Simon, for once I think you’ve got a good idea. Let’s start right now.” SIMON: Now let’s see what we’re going to have for a plot.” JINX: “Oh Simon, don ' t be so old-fashioned. Let’s have lots of plots!” SIMON: “What!!! Now sec here Jinx, if you think—. JINX: Calm down, Simon. Remember you’re not as young as you used to be. Of course we can have lots of plots. Why we can include dramatics, sports, school activities, outside school activities . . .” SIMON: “Oh let’s have lots of those outside school activities. There certainly were some interesting ones at G.H.S. continued on .page «ix Patronize Our Advertisers CITY LINE GARAGE X Bernardston Road j|| Greenfield X Used Cars Repairs ||Q Quality Apparel For Misses Juniors Wolperts Style Center 112 Main St. Greenfield Mass.
