The T a t l e r Marion Gourlie and Betty Anne August who are lecturing on “Child Psychology.” We wonder if they remember when they were children! 1 I Passing the Life Insurance Building we know that the typewriters and add- ing machines are hurriedly working so that secretaries Claire Field, Melanie Walenta, Jean Albano, Nancy Carrieri and Catherine Truiolo may keep their appointments with hair stylists Judith Davis and Statia Wojcieszek. On your right is Madison Square Gar- den M here the Barnum and Bailey Circus is in full swing featuring those three daredevils Gerald Adams, Stanley Zawala and Gasper Rumore. On your left is the site of the new United Nations Building where engin- eers Victor Gongola and Anthony Troi- ano are hard at work trying to cement world relations permanently together. Passing the University of Medical Research we should remember that it was here that Dr. Annetta Newmarger, and her nurses Florence Richardson, Muriel Contois and Mary Jekot dis- covered a cure for headaches. They must have felt sorry for all the teachers to whom they gave headaches. On your right is the Hotel New Yorker which has been redecorated by Joan Thompson and Pauline Evans. They were voted the Pulitzer Prize for the best Interior Decorators of 1959. If you look towards the left you will see the building where the New York Flower Show is being held. If you fail to see the show look for the pictures in the New York Times. These pictures are being taken by The Times ace cam- eramen Edward Dymon, Francis Rypysc, Bruce Hunter and Jack Kinnear. On your right is the Diamond Horse- shoe featuring “The Singing Waitresses,” Shirley McBride, Carol Packer, Mary Calcasola, and Lena lacolina. They are probably serenading that millionaire race-horse owner Paul Rossi and his jockeys Albert Luke and Raymond Percoski, who are riding in the Ken- tucky Derby. I wonder if they are sing- ing “The Old Gray Mare Ain’t What She Used To Be.” On your left is Radio City Music Hall where those famous pianists Ruth Noll and Concetta Angelica are accompanying the Metropolitan Soprano Shirley Hen- derson. They specialize is such operatic pieces as “Pinky The Sailor.” As we pass through Central Park we see the Superintendent of Parks, Carmen Scalia, showing his assistants Joseph Korona, Edward Prayzner, Robert Pelkey and Joseph Ciesones the scientific way of cutting grass. We will stop the bus for a while in order to take a short tour through the General Electric Building. We will be greeted by Carol Buika who is in charge of all G. E. advertising in schools. Her slogan is “Throw a Little Light on the Sub ject with G. E.” After a very interesting tour through the G. E. Building we pass by the Daily News Building and see society editors, Janet Bernier, Lorraine Dessert, Edwina Sullivan and Shirley Tough coming to work. On your right is the Copacabana which is featuring “The Hop-Scotch Trio” made up of Francis Young, Donald Contois and Vincent Archetti. If you feel like eating a good steak that’s the place to go. They buy their meat direct from the “Sunrise Dairy Farms Inc.” owned by William Higgins, Richard Fleming, Dominick Bosco and William Zybura, scientific farmers de-luxe. On your left is the First National Bank where those embezzling tellers Charles Jenkins, Richard Cowles and Walter Plander are gleefully counting money their trusting friends deposited. On our return to La Guardia Airport to take a B29 home, we are greeted by pilots Tony Torre and Louis Damato, As we start on our homeward journey we fly over the Statu e of Liberty and by looking carefully below we see guides, Margaret Smith, Gay Acquilino, Harold Sullivan and John Henry explaining the historical background of the Statue of Liberty. Thus ends our tour of the highlights and leading personalities of New York City. We sincerely hope that it has been exciting and entertaining, and that you will return again to renew your friend- ship with many of these old friends.
