14 THE ECHO Russell Salter is the editor and publisher of the Brookville Sun. The paper has a circulation of 20,000. Russ now resides in Randolph. On street cars and posts everywhere we see signs advertising “Liver Pills.” On these posters are pictures of Art Goodnow. Remember Art’s work on the parallel bar? Wel l, Art owes his success to Liver Pills. In the crystal there appears an orphanage. There is Pearl Fowler in the yard surrounded by children. Pearl is now doing missionary work. Charlotte Miles is the proprietor of a dancing school. She is a huge suc- cess. Next week Charlotte is going to Paris to dance for the nobility. After that it is Hollywood for Charlotte. Priscilla Stanley, our lunchroom manager, now writes for a homemaking magazine. Her newly perfected recipes are swell. The other day I was in Brookville and met an old pal. Bob Mitchell. Bob now owns the Hanson store. He lives in Brookville with Agnes, and his curly haired daughter. Rosie Moran now lives in New York and she writes a column feature for the New York Times. Incidentally, her novels are all big sellers. Hilton Murdock graduated from Technology and now earns his living by designing cars. And what cars they are. They are O’Connor Ambassadors. Mary O’Connor who drove her car in high school is the owner of the business, and Rollo owes a great deal to Mary for her encouragement. A certain belle on Park Avenue drives one of these cars when she is not leading Russian wolfhounds around. She is our class aristocrat. Dot Crosby. Rita Walsh runs a physical culture school in Holbrook. Rita is also ath- letic director at Sumner, and is turning out winning teams at our old Alma Mater. Paul Wiggins is a script writer for several commercial radio programs. Audrey Clark married Paul, and Audrey is a writer also. So we can all look forward to big things from Paul and Audrey. Well, the crystal has faded away into mist, but we have talked over all our old classmates. Dentist: Excuse me a moment, please. Pearl: Where are you going? Dentist: Before beginning work on you I must have my drill. Pearl: Great Scott, man, can’t you fill a tooth without a rehearsal? Ingrid: Is bridge a matter of luck, or does science enter into it? Rl oda: It’s science if you win; luck if you lose. Paul: Give me some of that prepared monaceticactdester of salicylic acid. Mr. Hodge: Do you mean aspirin? Paul: That’s right! I can never think of that name. Rhoda has just purchased a postage stamp at a sub-station. “Must I stick it on myself?” she asked. “Positively not, madam,” replied the postal clerk. “It will accomplish more if you stick it on the enevelope.”

THE ECHO 13 Rose Garabedian and Ingrid Caspersen are now proprietors of the largest and most modern turkey farm in the East. They have branches all over the country. They owe their success to self-management. From a far-off Utopia in the South Seas I see an old friend, Seth Pudsey, sitting on a throne surrounded by native blacks He is now the Mussolini of the South Seas. A short distance away we find Richard Kunan. Kunie has just nego- tiated a treaty greatly beneficial to the United States, with China. No doubt you all have heard of Lady Esther cosmetics, but have you heard of McKinnon Limited, makers of fine cosmetics. Leo has made a kissproof lip- stick. No more lipstick smooches on “Mac.” Rhoda Freethy is now in Rome studying art. Rhoda has won several scholarships at the Brookville Art Museum, gnd her work is known far and wide. Charlotte Brooks has replaced The Voice of Experience and her advice is heard by millions. Speaking of radio, have you heard about Dan Daly? Dan is a sensation in New York. He is billed as “The Minstrel Man.” By the way, Dan just signed a movie contract for Morse and Leonard Productions. The crystal is clouding. While waiting for it to clear let us think of some current news. I see by the papers that Williard Hamilton and his band are opening at the Sumner Grille next week. Get your tickets early as Ham is on demand. Only $1000 a night. Incidentally Ham is featured as “The Hottest Trumpet Player This Side of Albuquerque.” Well, the crystal is clearing again, and now for some more highlights. Speaking of highlights, let’s look at the footlights. I see a swanky night club and hear a sweet song. Why, it is Norma Poole, Sumner’s Songbird. A familiar giggle breaks through the air and I know you all recognize it. It is the present “Belle of Holbrook,” Barbara Sears. In the crystal that giggle came from that bench. Why, with Barbara is our old friend, Colonel Kelly. On a bench near a man is lying down. It is Art Moran sleeping. Art is helping to build a bridge across Robin Lot, and Art spends his noon hour sleeping. Louise Carter, Sumner’s Water Nymph, is operating a troupe of swimmers. Louise has won all kinds of titles. At present she is filling an engagement at Robin Lot. When it is time to eat, remember the M W Restaurants. That chain of eating places is now operated by Leona Mitchell and Buzzie Williamson. They have built up a great business. Mary Smith is now principal at the State Teach- ers College, and holds a prominent position on the State Board of Education. Raymond Weatherby got his big break while working on the Queen Mary. A movie scout saw Digger and knew talent when he saw it. So now the theaters are crowded with women to see the mew matinee idol. Speaking of the movies, I see Bill Sands is being offered all sorts of contracts but he rejects them. Bill has his own band and is the toast of Broadway. A quiet evening at home with Marylin is Bill’s secret. George Mullin is now an efficiency expert and spends his time with the Eager Grocery Co. George now lives in Brookville, in a house designed by Mr. Hodge. By the way, Arnold Eager, owner of the Eager Grocery Co., is a real sportsman and owns controlling interest in the Holbrook Red Sox. Arnold, by the way, is married to Louise Carter, the Water Nymph.

THE ECHO 15 GIFTS To Charlotte we give this block of paper. We hope that she will use it later To write her frie.nds across the sea And make them as happy as happy as can be. Louise, to you we give this polish bright To wear when you go out at night. Your nails with luster sure will shine And all will say that they look fine. To Ingrid we present this horn And hope she, ’ll let us know she’s born. We wonder if we’ll see the day When Ingrid will blow “Hey de Hey.” To Audrey Clark so cute and small We give to her this little ball. When Chet is far, yes far away, With her small children she may play. Colburn’s a sheik but bashful is he; He loves to read books on Romance and Harmony. So this love story fine we give to you; ’Twill give you some thrills for an hour or two. To Dorothy we give this pass So she, may strut with all her class Amongst the ushers in the show When to her Tommy she does go. To you, Dan, this little tick we give In hopes that with him you can live To remind you of many a happy day When you rehearse, d in the Senior Play. To Arnold we give this wee little truck And wish him also the best of luck, For now he’ll not have to walk and to walk To carry his papers around the block. To Pearl we give this poster paint ’Twas posters she, made, sometimes quaint. Some for the dramas, and some for the prom No matter for what, ’twas Pearl they were from. She gives to us poor Holbrook lads a cold and icy stare But to the youths in Quincy town a smile sublime and rare. So for you Rhoda we have found this auto nice, and bright. Just take the beau from Quincy out and keep him from our sight. To Rose though meek and mild is she To her shall go this bag of tea So that fifty years from this same date She will remember this day of fate. To Anna we, give this book by Webster And then her speech she’ll surely master We hope her bright ideas she’ll share, And then a smile we all will wear. To Arthur we give this nice, new book Which tells him how, a fish to hook. It will never, never, never fail And now he’ll return with fish in his pail. A look in this mirror At an innocent face Will reveal Ernie Groves (Sidney) Poised with gracq. This cornet to you, Hammie, as through life you go. Just carry it with you instead of some dough. When people do say, “Please give us a tune.” Don’t stand there and simply look at the moon. Jones, to you we give this razor blade, And hope that it you will not trade But keep your face all shaven clean To match up with a necktie green. A razor blade that’s made of rubber Should go to him who shaves in haste For Kelly, our Kentucky colonel, we often see With a bandage or two on his face. To you, Kunan, we give this shiny gun And hope with it you’ll have some fun. In Rifle Club you shoot so well We know with this you’ll ring the bell. To Leo we give this beautiful doll So he will have, someone to take to the ball. He always is looking for some fair lass, And we’re sure that this one will always pass. To Charlotte Miles we give this bank And hope some day her class she’ll thank For giving her a place to hoard Her pennies for a bright new Ford.
