PUBLISHED BY THE STUDENTS OF THE HARLEY SCHOOL - ROCHESTER vor. 15 JUNE, 1961 Amid all the hustle-bustle of Commencement week, the Seniors would like to take time out to welcome all the Alumni whom we've seen about the halls. We are especially glad to see the Class of '49, from whom we received our banner. All the members of that class are expected Friday. Here is a brief summary of their doings: Dick Anderson, well-known mathematician and nuclear physics expert, has been seen out of school lately working on the only problem he has ever been unable to solve -- that of how to squeeze 700 people into a space for 200 at the Commencement activities. Pete Keller, daring wild game hunter and authority on How to form a Conga Line, promises to be here in time to deliver a lecture on his exploits in West Bongo-Bongo Qbetter known as Bristol Hills.j Pete is working on an invention called the 3-day Close Shave razor blade. Mark Goddard, popular dancing star, wires that he will arrive a few days in advance to teach ffor a nominal feej the latest dance steps to Seniors. QSpecia1 price for good looking girls.j Mark is now working on a pamphlet for the Toni Company, entitled, You, too, Can Wear a Pompadourf' Miss Beryl Baldwin, well-known illustrator of horse stories, phoned that she will cer- tainly be here Friday if she can find a baby sitter for her 107 pets. Asked for further details about her menagerie, Miss Baldwin stated, Oh, I just LOVE them! Steve May, famous spark of the Rochester Royals, is in town resting up after a stren- uous season. Out of a total of 3079 points scored by the Royals this year, Steve tossed in 3078. Modest May is quoted as saying, Aw, I didn't do much. The Misses Pat O'Bolger and Glenna Berger are two successful alums also expected Friday. Glenna and Pat are the co-owners of the sensational best-seller, Love Letters on an Assembly - line. Miss Barbara Covington, the multi-millionairess, leaves her palatial Vermont estate tomorrow to Hy in for the graduation. Barbara, of course, is famous for her Instant Hiccup Cure, the source of her fabulous fortune. Frank Little is another celebrity of the Class of '49, Frank has just come into wide- spread fame as the only weight lifter who can clean and jerk 500 pounds with his little finger and still keep his hat on. Kenny Frankel, national Boy Scout leader, says he'll bring his boys through Rochester on their 2000 mile hike. On the side Ken is plugging his latest book -- a dictionary of self compiled 'new words, entitled, Drop Dead, Mr. Webster! Noemi Arce is now crossing the equator for the 400th time on her way up to Harley from her native Equador. Noemi is working on the Spanish translation of her article, How to Have a Kitchen in Your Bed-room. 21

One of Harley's most famous grads, Dave O'Neil, is reported to be galloping in from Texas, where he maintains a cattle ranch and does two radio shows a week. Known to the American public as the Singing Bull-Shooter, Dave's two star spots consist of the old Sinatra Show, which Frankie recently turned over to Dave, and the Sunday afternoon Tall Stories for Kiddies program. David McGhee is one alum who won't have to come from afar to attend. Dave full- filling what he claims is a life-long ambition, gave up his job at Podunk U., Qwhere for 10 consecutive years he held the title of The Most Absent-Minded Professornj to become a Canandaigua graper. Mr. Henry Hays, operator of the Plymouth Motor Parts, will also be here for Com- mencement. Besides his car industry, Hank is known as a connoisseur of good foods and as an advertising man for the Snappy Girdle. Congresswoman Judith Bakker says she can leave off lilibustering long enough to come home for a few days. Judy is now introducing two new bills in the legislature, one to revive the Charleston in all 48 states, and the other to put radios in all makes of all cars. The celebrated flute soloist, Miss Barbara Buell, has planned an engagement at the Eastman this weekend so she will be in town for graduation. Asked for a. statement by the press, Miss Buell's only remark was, Vote Republican! Miss Dorothy Dutcher, author of the book, Culbertson's Bridge Methods Revised, and inventor of the new indestructible automobile fenders, writes that she will be present Friday night. Dot is now trying to obtain a patent for her automatic Penny-a-weed cigar- ette machine. Miss Mary joe Loehr, billed as the West Virginia Ballerina in her stage appearances, arrived early yesterday afternoon. joe has just finished a long engagement in Akron, Ohio, where her interpretation of The Dickey-Bird Song was a great sensation. Bud VanDeventer, the raiser of Kentucky Bluebloods, writes that he will be here as soon as he completes transactions for running his new horse, 19th Hole in the Derby. Dr. jean MacLean flew in from the Hawaiian Islands where she has a flourishing psychiatric practice. She gave every member of the class a copy of Winnie the Pooh, the book on which she bases her philosophy, We can't all and some of us don't. From Hollywood, California, came Miss Helen Snyder, who has just received the Oscar Award for her splendid performance in the 326,000,000 film In Love Again. I Emily Neal is the only one who didn't return. She didn't have ro. She's been here all the time, along with her apple green room and her new Cin '49j blue DeSoto and her new Qin '49j knee hole desk. She hasn't changed much in twelve years except for added gray in her hair, papers on her desk, and dents in her fenders. In case anyone wonders, she still thinks it's a miracle that the Seniors met the year book deadline tbzlf year and she still believes that this year's Senior class is the best that ever graduated from Harley.
