I-IAMPTONITES CONGIQEGATE Chicago, lll. CFEPD-This article is brought to you through the amalgamated services of the famed FEP, whose head is the former Frances Emmerich, of Hampton, Iowa. Fran- ces started as a newspaper reporter and work- ed her way up the ladder, meanwhile marry- ing a newspaper publisher. The first event on the day's agenda was a speech by the honorable Jo Anne Rathman, who has the distinction of being the first wo- man ever to become president. After her speech she joined in the festivities of the crowd. During the evening, Darlene Baldwin, the Faye Emerson of the new decade, in her new low-cut gown, acted as mistress of ceremonies on a television show, in which she interviewed all the Hamptonites congregated there. The program was sponsored by Kathryn Patton and husband who own the Sudsy-Dudsy Soap Company. The commercial, written es- pecially for the occasion by the world famous musician a11d composer, Marlys Lehmann, was warbled in the golden tones of Darlene Dick- man. The music for the commercial tSudsy your dudsies with Sudsy-Dudsy, Sudsy your auto, your house, and your lot, your dogsy and catsy, too!!-And remember Sudsy-Dudsy comes in six different flavors .... And they are mildll was provided by Delores Colby, her band and her clarinet. Although Mary Janet Clay is now a well- known vocalist., she consented graciously to sing with Delores' band. The hit of the eve- ning was M. J.'s tender rendition of 1've got tears in my ears from lying on my back in my bed while I cry over you. Three titles were presented to Hamptonites. The first was to Bugs Pralle, who won the coveted Liars of America prize for his fan- tastic sport stories. The second was to Tony Perez, who was named Mr. America of 1961, and Phyllis Grabbe, who, receiving her award at the same time, wa.s named Mrs. America. Another celebrity present was Daredevil Dick Claypool, whose interest in safe driving led him to be a hot-rod racer. Doug Nelson, recently graduated from law school, arrived with his first client-Max 16 Wilson, who had stolen forty winks from a tiddly-wink factory. Lillian Janssen and Marlene Dreyer were interviewed next. They informed us that their poultry business was doing very well, and Verna Mae Garrison, who came with them, an- nounced that her business-dog kennels-was also doing wonderfully well. Just then Delores came on stage and an- nounced to her old classmates that their old friend, Helen Branson, was sorry that she was unable to attend, but she could get no baby- sitter to stay home with her t1'iplets. Jerry Miller, however, returned from an ex- tended expedition in South America, where he had been collecting leopard steaks which he planned to market in l1is own butcher shop. Norma Muhlenbruch also was returning from a hunting expedition-in New York. YVhat it was she was hunting, she neglected to mention. To add to the cultural value of the show, Lucille Moore, now a head of the deparment of English at Yale University, where she spe- cializes in teaching Chaucer and Shakespeare, gave quotations from both these men's works. Marian Timmerman is now a drum manu- facturer and has all her drums tested by her husband before marketing them. Don Krukow, comedian of stage, screen, and- radio, livened up the show by making wise- cracks,and frequently using the words he made famous- Who? Me U! Also in the movies is Lowell Stock, who was able to walk to the stage only after thousands of screaming bobby-soxers had swooned at his feet. Mrs. Oscar Van Portlybilt, nee Lorraine Ann Gutz, of the Hampton Gutz's, appeared with her bald, wealthy, and elderly husband. Rayne and Oscar are prominent now in New York so- ciety, where he is a stockbroker. And speaking of husbands, Paul Hansen, we find, over the years has become a typical hen- peeked husband. Lorraine Casper was unable to get away from the hospital where her duties as head nurse kept her busy, or so Betty Scantlebury

told us. Betty is now head accountant for the Green Owl Cigar Company, which recently went bankrupt. Word was received by Marian Richtsmeier --head clerk in the bargain basement at Bim- bel's Department Store-that Ethel Bonjour would not be able to make the trip from Af- ghanistan, where, after ten long years of hard- ship and struggle in the W0lDOIl,S Marine Corps, she has attained the rank of Second Lieutenant. The next person interviewed was Elaine Rasmussen. Elaine has recently expanded her chain of salons, in which she specializes in the art of massage, from coast to coast. Also in the line of women's beauty aids was a convention of hair tint companies-repre- sented by Dorothy Schlomer, inventor of new shades of dyes for the tresses, and by Jayne Stoekberger, head of the Peachy Bleach Com- pany. Dale Furman, head of his own trucking firm, provided the transportation for many of the Hamptonites. Joyce Sorenson attended also, bringing along her controlling interest in the Staley Feed Mill. Marilee Fisher, understudy to Marjorie Main, sat in one corner of the lobby autograph- ing her latest book-a collection of 500 puns, wise-cracks, and corny jokes. In the other corner of the lobby sat Doris Knueppel, who holds B.S., M.S., and Ph.D. de- grees, also autographing books-her latest is a medical text book. Doris plans to conduct her famous Knueppel Report again this year. Ann Geddes is inventing a typewriter for Doris to use on her next book. This typewri- ter has no keys, no back-spacer, and no platen, but she's sure that with Doris's ingenuity, she can easily figure it out. Harold Nelson is now a big executive-he's the third vice-president to the fourth vice- president of the Shropshire Sheep Raisers As- sociation. Next was Jim Balkema, an electrical engin- eer, who provided the spark to the whole af- fair. Phyllis Berk and Audrey McAfee came saun- tering up to the stage with their mink stoles, flashing diamonds, and clothes modeled after the latest Parisian styles. They informed us that they had gone to the big city to become private-secretaries and while there had been discovered . They are now famous high fashion models. Later when Larry Windelov.' saw Phyd and Mac, he tried to convince them that they should go back to Saudi-Arabia twhere Larry, wl1o is an important sultan over there, main- tains a haremj. liita Murphy, who owns and operates the famed Rita Peteeta Hair Stylists Beauty Sa- lon, where the hair stylists themselves come to get their hair fixed in the latest coiffures designed by Rita. Billy Miller, the world's greatest automobile manufacturer, was able to drop in for a few minutes after the world premiere of his new car-the sensational Millard . Joe Pitsor, still in l1is purple dressing gown, and LaVerne Sheeler elbowed their way through the crowd to the television cameras, amid the screaming of ardent fans. Joe had just finished a wrestling match with Hand- some Harry, in which he was victorious. La- Verne was recently named the most sensation- al pro football star of the year. Lulah Alert had to sneak in the back way to avoid Joyce Cocking, head of the Senate In- vestigating Committee, who suspects Dr. Alert of divulging the secrets of the H-bomb. The former Joanne Sporleder recently re- turned from a voyage in the ocean liner HHS, of which her husband is head officer. Also unable to attend was Satch Johnson, the fabulously wealthy New York play-boy, who was in Europe adding to his string of polo-ponies. Everyone regretted the fact that some of their fellow Hamptonites couldn't be there, but they had a, good time anyway. And after the last strains of the commercial died away, ev- eryone stood up and sang, In the Cellars of Old Hampton Hi . . .
