Our school offers tive different courses to the studentg namely, college entrance, academic, commercial, vocational, and homemaking. A teacher at the head of each department oversees the problems of that particular subject and acquaints each new teacher with his work. Although this staff is made up of teachers from many cities, they quickly adapt themselves to this community to compose a compact unit working harmoniously together for the benefit of the students. Through the teachers' interest in the Hornell Parent-Teacher Associ- ation, they form intimate contact with each student's parents, which help them to better understand the personal needs of each pupil. The teachers possess patience, understanding, and perseverance and provide a stimulating and wholesome companionship which does much to make learning more interesting.

Yesterday, we were the Freshmen, the Sophomores, the Juniors. Today, we are the Seniors. At first we all were strangers, but through constant association in work and play we have become a group of staunch friends. Now, as the Fiftieth Graduating Class of Hornell High School we extend best wishes for success to our teachers and to the Seniors of tomorrow. The sunset of Commencement Day will fade into the night. Realization of parting with school-day friends, teachers and the venerable school itself will constitute the saddest night we have ever known. However, a new dawn will come. It will herald a new day in which we will try to maintain the high standard of attainment that we have tried unceasingly to upholdg and we will aspire to higher achievements.

Mary Margaret is valedictorian with an average of 96.1 and Adair is salutorian with an average of 93.7. In addition to this outstanding scholarship, their popularity and activity in dramatics, debate, and club affairs is most remarkable. The eight students who rank next to Mary Margaret and Adair are Angelo Zannieri, Betty Jones, Katherine Gallagher, Madeline Hussong, Stanley R. Stone, Helen A. Schane, and Lewis Loucks. This year's graduating class is exceptional in that thirty- eight students have averages above 80. Besides being the largest class that has ever graduated from Hornell High School, Hornell High Schoo1's Fiftieth Anniversary Class is the most outstanding in all respects. f 1 , f X K , .

We paused at this gift to marvel As daily we sought to climbe To reach that cherished summit And kneel at the Saviour's shrine. Rough was the road we traversed Under the troubled stars And often our feet were weary Till, at last, the summit was ours! We paused and thought of the great stone That barred Commencement Day, And lo! when we reached the shrine-door The stone was rolled away. And there was a light in the heavens And joy in our hearts and tears, For He had given the good gift In exchange for the toil of years. And all through the sadness of parting From friends we loved dearer than life. We saw a new life for us dawning And joy in the toil and strife. By Helen A.

In all the various clubs and organizations of this great institution we have been well represented by our supply of brilliant students. Football and basketball have claimed many indispensable members. The Junior Class of 1932 has distinguished itself by being able to publish a successful magazine, In Retrospect, an accomplish- ment which has never before been attempted. It is unusually large, its members are diligent, enthusiastic and intent on the pursuit of knowledge and the establishment of a firm foundation for the Senior responsibilities. VVith this ever in mind we pursue our course. SOPHOIVIORE CLASS HISTORY We are the sophomores which word according to the dictionary means wise fool, and so we are. We feel quite superior to the timid freshmen, and glory in their envy of us. We are no longer awed by the mysterious labyrinth of corridors or the complicated system of numbering rooms. We are acquainted with the teachers and know many of the upper classmen. In our two years in high school many of our members have risen to prominence in various activities. Many of us are enthusiastic members of the Book Club and the two dramatic organizations. In the scientific organizations, and the Aviation Clubs many Sophomores are members or oflicers. Many of us have risen to prominence in the Glee Clubs, and regularly tune our instruments in the band and orchestra. 'The Sophomores are well represented in basketball, football. track, and tumbling. On the debate teams and on the Volcano Staff, Sophomores hold important positions, and many of our class are regularly on one of the two honor rolls. We are already prominent in Hornell High School, and hope to carry on, with the help of our able corps of officers. Next year we. who are now Sophomores, will be upper classmen. striving to follow the fine example set by those who have gone before. F RESHIVIAN CLASS HISTORY Station F-R-O-S-H broadcasting from the studios on the third floor of H. H. S. Hello, everybody! We're not as green as the Freshies of old because we were broken in in Junior High. Our class is one of the largest in years and we have every reason to be proud of it. Each month a large number of our names appear on the honor rolls. Besides, we are boosters of the Volcano and are well represented in every school activity, both musical and athletic. For our President, my dear radio friends, we chose Harold Hoffman, who had already shown his executive ability as Mayor of the Common Council of Junior High School. With the helpful guidance of the faculty, we have progressed through the year with very little static.

Sclzane Associate Editor-in-Chief Lawrence House Business Manager Isadore Spitulnilc Assistant Business Manager Mary Margaret McCall Faculty Advisor Henry A. C. Ross Each year the aim of the Senior Annual Staff is to make their year book as good or better than those of their predecessors. With this aim in mind, the staff proceeded to its work, both willingly and diligently. It is believed, however, that without the patience and tact of the editor-in-chief, Helen A. Schane, who constantly aided all members of the staff in their difficulties, its work would not have been accomplished. Mr. Ross' untiring efforts proved his great interest and enthusiasm in the year book. Much credit is due Miss Alice H. Price, senior advisor, and to Miss M. Jane Harrower, vice-principal of the senior high school, who offered many help- ful suggestions and gave much of their valuable time to aid the members of the staff. To students and faculty members who have in any way assisted, the staff is equally grateful. The Senior Annual Staff of '32 will have accomplished its aim if, in future years, this book will bring many joyful memories into the hearts of its readers.

Richard Hartford, editorg Harold Benson, associate editorg and Isadore Spitulnik, business manager: attended the Columbia Interscholas- tic Press Association conference in New York City where the Volcano was awarded second place in class B. The Volcano took a first place in the National Scholastic Press Association at the University of Minnesota and took a rating of excellence. Throughout the year the staff has endeavored to give the students a paper that is timely, interesting, and really worthwhile. Despite the fact that a financial crisis has been striking the country. the merchants and students of Hornell have willingly supported the paper.

It was dedicated to these past graduates whose achievements are regardedfwith pride. This project was mainly aaadsume of the progress and activities of our school dating from 1883 to th present time.

Jane Harrozver JUNIOR I-IICI-I STUDENT COUNCIL The Council of the Junior High School is composed of the homeroom Presidents with two members at large. The purpose of the Common Council is to act as the representative body of the students, to enable the students to present their ideas and their point of view to the adminstration and in turn to enable the admin- istration to communicate directly with the students through their council. Although the council has been organized but a short time, it has planned a homeroom basketball tournament for both boys and girls, besides conducting regular routine business. The business meetings of the council are held every Wednesday at four o'clock and are conducted by its student ofhcers. Its advisor, Mr. Stull, takes no part in the direction of the meeting or the policies adopted. Thus the council offers an unhampered form of student opinion as well as a training ground in executive ability and judgment. SENIOR I-IICII-I STUDENT COUNCIL The Senior High Student Council has now successfully completed its fifth year and has entirely jusified its existence through its many accomplishments for the betterment of the school. Among these achievements are the awarding of old English letters for debate, public speaking, band, orchestra, and dramaticsg the awarding of banners monthly to the homerooms excelling in scholarship, attendance, and least tardinessg the starting of a fund to buy bleachers: and the establishment of a point system for the purpose of recognizing participation in extra-curricular activities coupled with good scholarship. 0 .G --'--ilk 7 I I Page Forty-five U5 VOLCAND CL Vg- HORNELL HIGH SCHOOL CHAMPIONSHIP BAND President Stephen Sayles Vice-President John McGrosso Assistant Treasurer Robert Hartford Librarians Frank Willsey, Max Landman Director -:- J. Leo Lynch After having four successful seasons, the Hornell High School Band, holder of three state championships and winner of second place in the state band contest of 1929, is now preparing for the national band contest to be held at the World's Fair at Chicago in 1933. The band was organized early in 1929 to play at football games. That year they won second place in the state band contest and first place in the band contest held at the New York State Fair. 1930, 1931 and 1932 brought Hornell High School the championship of the Empire State. There was inaugurated a solo contest in New York in 1932, in which several students competed successfully. HORNELL SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL ORCHESTRA Although the Hornell Senior High School Orchestra has never entered into interscholastic competition, it is a well-trained and well- balanced organization. Its thirty members are, for the most part, from the band, and are supplemented by an excellent string section. The organization is old and has, since its existence, given many concerts under the direction of Mr. Palmiteer and Professor John W. Surra. Several have been given since Mr. Lynch has had charge of the orchestra. HORNELL JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL BAND AND ORCHESTRA The Hornell Junior High School Band and Orchestra are two separ- ate organizations whose big responsibility is to prepare themselves well enough for the senior organizations to maintain the distinction created by the Hornell High School Championship Band. The band and orchestra rehearse separately under the supervision of Mr. Lynch and Robert Hartford, assistant student conductor. The orchestra plays for weekly assemblies and the band plans to present a program later in the season. ---- ug 7 I I L5 Page Forty-seven FDRENEIE CLVOLCANOY6- NATIONAL F ORENSIC LEAGUE President -.'- Lawrence House Vice-President Margaret Horton Treasurer James Gemmell Secretary Catherine Gallagher In 1925 Hornell High School fulfilled its requirements and obtained its chapter in the National Forensic League for the district of New York, New Hampshire, and Maine. Since that time through consistent hard work under the capable guidance of Miss Mildred V. Dunham, the Hornell Chapter has risen to leadership in the district and since 1928 has main- tained its lead. But this year for the first time in our school history we have a championship league. Last year the group that entered at Albany secured second place but this year the old Alma Mater came out in the lead. Those who were entered in the contest were: Angelo Zannieri, James Gemmell, Howard Sharp, Lawrence House, Catherine Gallagher, Margaret Horton, Katherine Towner, John Ward, Edmund Ross, and Lisle Hopkins. DEBATE TEAMS Captain, Negative Team Angelo Zannieri Captain, Affirmative Team Lawrence House Coach -.'- Mildred V. Dunham For the first time in years, the Debate Teams have had a very active season. Beginning in February the teams took part in fourteen debates and won nine. The subject under argument was, Resolved: That the several states shall enact legislation providing for Compulsory Unemployment Insurance. Hornell's affirmative team defeated Jamestown, Bath, Niagara Falls, and Kenmore. Ilion and Poughkeepsie defeated Hornell. Hornell's negative team won over Bath, Niagara Falls, Kenmore, Schenectady, and Saratoga Springs. They lost to Falconer and Jamestown.

What are their accomplishments if one hears so little about them '? These clubs perform one of the most important functions possible. They do what the public will not, support the debate teams, and finance the public speakers. It is they who have made Hornell's fine victory at Albany possible. They assumed the tremendous burden of financing such a large undertaking and with the fine spirit of cooperation so characteristic of them, they worked to raise the necessary funds. ---- ng T l l Page Forty-nine G?

This year he has organized the Senior Science Club with the largest member- ship since its formation in 1928. From beginning of the term, through student demonstrations, supplemented by discussions and lectures by out- side speakers, the members have found attendance at meetings most beneficial and helpful. Moreover, the club has furnished interesting entertainment for the rest of the school. The best of these being the assembly program on liquid air, which proved to be one of the most popular of the season. The school has every reason to be proud of this science organization. JUNIOR SCIENCE CLUB President David Veit Vice-President Martha Jane Paulson Treasurer George Kenip Secretary Lois Burdette Faculty Advisors Anor Whiting, J.

Miss Whiting and Mr. Smith, the faculty advisors, have aided the club in many ways. 1 AVIATION CLUB President Charles Storms Vice-President -.'- Joseph Kranier Secretary-Treasurer -.'- Stanley Ferris Faculty Advisor -.'- Lonis Lavonier At the beginning of the school term in 1928, a group of high school boys expressed their interest in the development of aeronautics by forming an aviation club.

To make awkward Chester more attractive to his wife and daughter he manufacturers a past for him- a love affair with the movie star, Letty Lythe. Then Letty comes to town and one difficulty follows fast on the heels of the other. Each cast gave an afternoon and evening performance.

A survey of the city- that is, a list of the stores, merchants, etc., was undertaken, and proved to be a very successful enterprise.

Under the efficient guidance of Miss Price, the club has made remarkable progress. Our purpose has been effected by weekly business and social meet- ings at which special programs for various holidays, literature reviews. French dramas, games, and even crossword puzzles have been enjoyed. French correspondence has been both educational and amusing. THE BOOK CLUB President -.'- Harney Plants Secretary-Treasurer -.'- Jane McCall Faculty Advisor Hilda Bridge The Book Club has proved to be one of our most fascinating organ- izations. At each meeting one of the club members presides as chairman, ivhilevglie others review the books which they have read during the past two eks. One entire evening is devoted to a single type of literature. The Book Club frequently purchases books which are kept in the Book Club library for a time, then they are given to the High School Library. In this way the club has placed many books at the command of the students.

And we hope that with the opening of the next school term our efforts will be rewarded with this Q, junior branch of our brotherhood. The Hi-Y Club wishes to extend their thanks again to all those who so affably offered their services as speakers at their luncheons. SPORTSMANSI-IIP BROTHERHOOD President -.'- Joseph Shoemaker Vice-President Clifford Babcock Treasurer Ruth Langs Secretary Lucille Dailey Faculty Advisor John J. Finnessey According to the Sportsmanship Brotherhood constitution, officers of the club are to be elected at the last meeting in June. Last year as no officers were elected, there was no club. The Student Council appointed a committee composed of Harold Northrup, Clement McHale, and Isadore Spitulnik to draw up a new organization. Harold Northrup as chairman has authority to choose ten members to be submitted to the approval of the principal, coaches, and teachers. At the first meeting new officers were elected and new members were taken in according to the by-laws of the constitution.

D YESTERDAY AND TODAY Qv0LcAN0i0 YESTERDAY Fifty years ago Hornell High School was in its infancy. Many noteworthy changes have been made since 1883, and it seems only fitting that we should review these improvements in the year which marks a half-century of conferred degrees upon ambitious students. The first graduating class consisted of two boys, Lyman Best and William Mosher. There were no ceremonies accompanying this event. such as are experienced today. These pupils were undoubtedly presented with their diplomas while standing by the professor's desk in the old square framed building which occupied the site of our present school. The follow- ing year commencement exercises were held in the First Baptist Church. In 1886 a three story brick building was constructed a little north of the frame structure. Among the improvements were an assembly room and a large library. With the support of the library, apparent interest was shown in journalism, and in the year 1895 The Hornellianf' an annual magazine, was issued. It is amusing to look upon the manner in which school was conducted during the good old days. Following roll call in the morning, singing exercises were held in the assembly room. Recitations, solos, and dialogues were given once a week, in somewhat the style as our Friday assemblies. Classes were one hour in length, and recitations were given from long wooden benches placed in front of the teacher's platform. Popular piano music was played for the passing of classes. Sororities and fraternities came into existence about 1912, and five years later the Proton was established, a literary club which studied the works of great writers. The Polygot followed in 1919. This was a publication which reviewed all the magazines ever issued during the history of the school. Mr. Harrison S. Dodge became principal the same year. In 1922 the plans for a new and very modern school were revealed. The result was fresh enthusiasm and cooperation among the students. Honors were achieved in school activities, and a form of student govern- ment was considered, which was adopted after a time. It was entitled The General Organization. Up through the years the number of graduates had steadily in- creased, and by 1923 the class consisted of ninety-seven. Not only was this the largest class ever to be graduated, but it was proud to claim the average age of its students as the youngest recorded. The requirements for a successful career had by this time been doubled, and parents were beginning to see the true necessity of keeping the child in school as long as possible. They desired that he enjoy and partake of the advantages they had missed. Now, let us look to the class of '32 and discover the effect of this new outlook upon the youth of today. x --- ilk 7 I l X ll KS Page Sixty-seven yuzzzzz l 2 H U Page Sixty-eight V 0 L C A N 0 :rr-. 9 TODAY Fortunate and grateful are we, the students of today, for the won- derful opportunities afforded us by our present institution. As we look back upon the privileges of our predecessors, we realize that they were few, and a feeling of appreciation envelopes us in return for their efforts, which have made the road we travel much smoother. These facts are evident, when we pause to compare the size of the first graduating class with that of 1932. One hundred and thirty students are looking forward to receiving diplomas this coming June, at which time special activities will be held in honor of this class, the fiftieth to be gradu- ated from Hornell High School. Sincere advice and touching ceremony are a part of the exercises awaiting us, that make us realize we are about to end the first lap of our climb toward a higher goal. This inspiring farewell was lacking to those two boys who composed that first graduating c ass. First on the list of benefits offered by Hornell High is the school itself. It is a very modern building, architecturally beautiful, and conven- iently planned. A spacious auditorium provides a means of assemblies, which brings the student body in closer relationship. It is a boon to the dramatist, the debater, and the school as a whole for their own enjoyment. The large gymnasium affords a physical education for both boys and girls, and also serves its purpose in the development of athletics. A special group of rooms are devoted to a vocational course for boys, in which they study auto mechanics, woodworking and electrical appliances. Equal im- portant is the homemaking department for girls, where the art of cooking, sewing, and interior decorating is acquired by those who do not wish to follow a business or college course. Musical talent can be exercised by participation in the high school orchestra and band under the excellent direction of Mr. Leo Lynch. Much interest has been shown by the students in this line, and for three years the band won first place in the state contests. Endless knowledge is at our grasp in either the college entrance or commercial courses. A staff of efficient and willing teachers are at our service. With these assets the desirous student may quite easily obtain at least one of the many scholarships offered by the state and colleges. The Student Council has been a leading factor in the school since its existence in 1928. It has succeeded in bringing the students and school authorities to a basis of mutual understanding and cooperation. Every club, society and homeroom sends a representative to the weekly council, and this person reports the progress made. We, the senior class, feel justly proud of our school, and appreciate the four years of work and enjoyment we have spent therein. We extend our thanks to the Board of Education, the taxpayers and especially to Mr. Dodge, superintendent, and Mr. Cooke, principal, for their untiring efforts in making our school an advanced institution. V 0 L G A N 0 cr ff? HISTORY OF THE HORNELL HIGH SCHOOL CHAMPIONSHIP BAND Y.. ,, The Hornell High School Band which was organized in 1928, con- sisted of thirty members. Its chief purpose was to play at football games. Band rehearsals were held every Monday evening in the high school auditorium. The first news of the band contest came in 1929. The band decided to enter the sectional contest in Cortland, the chief reason being that the boys wanted to hear musicians from other schools. It was quite an un- expected and pleasant surprise when the Hornell Band came out first. Following this victory came a series of banquets and receptions prior to the state contest. May 8th found the Hornell High School Band in Syracuse. They won second honors in the state competition, while first place was won by Jamestown High School. In 1930 the band, now with a membership of thirty-nine, set out to win first place in the state. Through an arrangement with the contest officials the band did not have to go to the sectional contest, which was held in Utica. On May 8th, the band was in Syracuse again, where, although the competition was much stronger than in the previous year, the thirty-nine piece Hornell Band defeated bands of more than twice her size. This created further sensation in high schools throughout the state. A community effort, aided by the business men, made it possible for the band to enter the national contest, which was held at Flint, Michigan. Although they were not one of the six winners, they gained much valuable information, which was to help them in future years. While in Flint, the boys met personally such men as Edwin Franco Goldman, Jay Fay, Captain O'Neil, and the late John Phillip Sousa. On the way to Flint, the band stopped in Buffalo, to present a concert over Station W. K. B. W. 1931 proved to be another successful year for the band. The mem- bership was increased from thirty-nine to sixty-three. Again, arrange- ments were made so the Hornell Band would not have to make the trip to Utica for the sectional contest. Once more the Hornell Band was victorious, although they had to compete with bands of more experience and larger instrumentation. But winning contests have not been the sole activity of the band. It has played for assemblies in Hornell and Wellsville. This year the Wellsville Band made an appearance in a Hornell assembly. In 1930 the band arranged with the Metropolitan Opera Company to present Geraldine Farrar in a concert, which was held in the auditorium. The band has given concerts in Union Park for several summers and has played for the St. Angelo celebration. It appeared in Rochester in 1929, and in that same year attended the state fair and won first place in a contest held there. They have played at many football and basketball games, both in Hornell and other towns. The band members realized the tremendous task ahead of them in I I Page Siocty-nine ill I P ll U Page Seventy vol.cANo - Q 1932. They knew that if they won again, they would hold the title perma- nently, together with the championship trophy. The instrumentation was increased to seventy-three. This year, for the first time in New York State, a solo contest was held in connection with the band contest. Nine from Hornell entered, and everyone placed in the competition in his particular field. The winners in these events are : John McGrosso, Robert Hartford, Welland Green, James Martin, Lishure Mike, Arthur Sauerbier, Arnold Tenglund, Stephen Sayles, and Harry Carney. The state finals were held in Syracuse, May 7th. For the third consecutive year the Hornell Band was rated superior to all of the other bands entered. - The Hornell High School Band now holds the title of Permanent New York State Championsfl The band cannot re-enter state competitions until 1935, although they hope to attend the Chicago World's Fair where the national contest is to be held. The members of the band owe their success and have showed their deepest appreciation to their director, Mr. Lynch, who has given so much of his time and experience so that Hornell musicians might appreciate good music. The Board of Education, without whose help the band would have been impossible, has gained the most sincere appreciation and thanks for its support and cooperation, that the Hornell High School Band might bring the highest honors to Hornell High School. , Aix !' ,3 If wig:- fvpfim A n 6 - f 1 CL V 0 L 0 A N 0 5- ....'l.,i THE CLASS PROP!-IECY Yesterday I fell asleep in study-hall. Feeling the queerest tug at my arm, I abruptly awakened, expecting, of course, to see an infuriated teacher at my side. Imagine my utter stupefaction in seeing the queerest little man, scarcely three feet in heighth, whose hair was silvery-gray and whose eyes sparkled with amusement. I am the Spirit of the Class of '32, he announced, his bushy beard bobbing against his knees. I am going to show you the future of all your classmates. I couldn't imagine anything more absurd, but, desiring to get out of that stuffy study-hall, whatever means employed, I obediently followed the little man out of the room. No sooner was I out of the school when I saw Catherine Gallagher, dressed in silks and satins, riding in a car obviously of foreign make: and Raymond Hammond, in chauffeur's uni- form, was driving it. Nearby I saw Joseph Kramer driving a truck for Lynford Lamb's grocery store: he told me Helen McKay was Lynford's best clerk. These, said the spirit, are the only members of your class who shall continue to reside in Hornell. Now, we shall go to Africa. There, to my surprise, I saw Teresa McCarthy, selling silk stockings to the natives, and Audrita McCollumn, who had married a missionary, was travelling in central Africa. Carmen Jones and Arlene Horton had bought a novelty shop in Cairo and insisted on selling me some ostrich feathers that, so they declared, had adorned some Egyptian mummy. I saw Dorothy Mitchell living in the west, where she had married a cowboy, whose chief ambition was to talk like a N oo Yawkuhf' Later I saw Lora Oyer and John Nevius co-starring in a motion picture. The queerest event of the day was seeing Isadore Spitulnik and Robert Donnelly tap-dancing in a vaudeville scene. Now, we shall go to Ireland, said the Spirit, waving his hand. Here I spoke to Eleanor Weaver, who told me that she found it impossible to sell toothpicks in Scotland so she came to Ireland where the business was good. Then, to my astonishment, I ran across Dorothea Wing. but oh! how she had changed! She had bleached her hair to a straw- color and wore two bright, red hair-ribbons. Angelo Zannieri and Charles Linehan encountered me on an ocean liner, for they had become sailors and had a girl in every port. In England I saw Flora Todd and Mary Horton, who were switch- board operators for the William Wambold Hotel. Christine Swain, Ruth Roe, and Dorothy Rokenbrod provided entertainment for all the guests by their clever singing and dancing. Norfleet Amidon, a mouse-trap sales- man, and Stanley Stone, a nail-file salesman, seemed to enjoy their enter- tainment very much, and I wonder ...... The Spirit took me to a circus, where I saw Charles Young in a clown act and Harry Stadelman, a lion-tamer. Camilla Belts and Helen Benedict were featured trapeze performers. Observing the advertisements, I found that they were drawn by Shirley Henderson and Bruce Potter. Now, said the Spirit, I shall take you to the Philippines, where you will shall see Nellie VanderWege, a very prominent nurse, in a hospital there. Page Seventy-one lb JH i.-voLcANoD Two of her patients were Thelma Gee and Madlyn Glynn, who had contracted a fever and had fallen in love with their doctor. Unfortunately he had already married Betty Jones. In Manila, I saw Burdette Nash and Joseph Mullins, who had just quit working on a large plantation because the work was too strenuous. Selling postal cards in the Islands was not profitable, so Edith Fox and Lelah Davis decided to return to San Francis- co and work in Woolworth's where they had formally been employed. Down south, I saw Charles Rees and Byron Bennett working as bell- hops for the Grand Hotel, which was owned by Doris Pebbles. Everywhere I saw Dorothy Wescott's beautiful complexion advertised in order to boost the sale of Preston Hodge's famous complexion cream. John Griffin and Welland Greene sold Roberta Hess, a stenographer, twenty jars, which shows the extent of their salesmanship! Richard Hartford, I discovered, was the owner of the Tompkin's Corner Herald and Irene Hammond was his sole reporter. The Spirit pointed out Lisle Hopkins and Lawrence House, who were carpenters for the famous contractor, Madeline Hussong. I heard Freder- ick Kurtz in his nightly radio recitals. Frances Powers was his publicity agent and DeForest Miller, his announcer, at the William Miles Radio Studio. Mary Martin was employed to applaud the entertainers because of her hearty laugh and Lucille LaFaro and Ruth Langs had charge of the temperamental performers, among whom were Lewis Loucks, a mouth organ player, and Mary Orth Sanford, a bagpiper. Ellen Goodrich and Leah Reynolds bought a coffee shop in Toledo, which they sold to Thomas Sutherby the next day at a large profit. Armella Kloss went to the orient and assumed charge of the Chinese gov- ernment. Thomas Almy had a thriving umbrella business in the Sahara Desert and Norman Hamilton sold snowshoes in the same district. The natives bought them as Curiosities. Wesley House and Donald Hurne in- troduced advertising to the Pygmy tribes in Africa and found, much to their chagrin, that they didn't appreciate the finer things of life. Because of their ability to perform magic tricks, Charles Rose, John Richardson, and Donald Rollins, known as the Three R's, were able to civilize the Eskimo tribes in northern Asia. Dorothy Cole, while trav- elling here, met a whiskey salesman from the States, whom she married because of his striking resemblance to Thomas Cassel, a bond salesman in Turkey Run. The Spirit revealed Ruth Dunham and Pauline Epstein working in a doll factory. Laura Faulkner constantly scolded them except when her superiors, Stanley Ferris and Richard Ellis, were in sight. Bernice Tan- ner married a prince from Morocco, who gave her a ten-foot string of pearls. I saw Lucy Donnelly and George Donaldson selling tombstones to the living for those who have died. Stephen Sayles made a fortune by discovering how to make fat people lean, and Marguerite Chisholm earned her living by painting things green. Upon encountering Thelma Baker, a stenographer, I asked her about people from the home town. h Gladys Brown has married and moved out of town. Nicholas Chaivaroli joined a gypsy tribe in northern Canada. Leo Flanagan, a publisher, made thousands of dollars by publishing Alice Whitakerfs fam- ous book, How to Get Rid of Rats. As for Mary Todd and Elizabeth Van Dusen, they act as servants for Mildred Smith, the Take It or Leave Pug Sevcnfy ttf 0 QvoLcANo-Z2-.. uk It column writer. LaVerne Taylor owns Ye Antique Shoppe on Main Street, which he inherited from the great philanthropist, Frederick Schwartz, who owned nearly ten homes for blind mice and fifteen for aged cats. These homes have been given to Howard Sharp wth the understand- ing that they are to be run as before. Florence Kelleher, one of the heirs who refused to agree to the terms in the will, contested it, but the judge, Harold Sayles, declared it legal and refused her the right to disobey any clause in the will. Have you heard any news Y Thelma asked. Rachael Callahan, I began, is a stenographer for Harry. Carney, who deals in old clothes, tin cans, etc. Mayva Burckley teaches school in Brownfield Corner and is engaged, so the rumor goes, to Ichabod Snickel- fritz- or someone with some such out-landish name. Later I encountered Paul Cregan and James Burdett and inquired their destination. I am a prize-fighter, said Paul, and this is my manager: and we are on our way to a fight in Madison Square Garden. Can't I come along '? I asked. Surely, answered Paul, and I'll tell you about all the people I have seen. Albert Annabel is a chef for Irene Brown, the hairpin manu- facturer: and Esther and Marjorie Allen are personal servants for Irene's pet dogs and cats. L-ook, I cried, Mary Fitzgerald and Ruth Bell I Mary was running for mayor of New York City, and Ruth was giving a campaign speech in her favor. I felt a tug at my skirts. It was the little man. Come, now. Your journey is almost over. The Spirit pointed out Mary Bardeen, who had taken up scientific farmingg DeForest Angell, who was trying to find out how many pounds a bee could pushg Cora Bowen. who had turned gold prospectorg and Edith Braack, who was selling the Brooklyn Bridge to foreigners. Then I saw Henry Chamberlain, who was hitch-hiking around the world on a dime and his good looks. Adair Brasted and Ruth Crawford were teaching school in the south. Mary T. and Mary C. Clancy became chorus dancers under the direction of Stanley Conklin and Mary Margaret McCall. Later I saw Robert Hartford, a member of the Fireman's Band of Canisteo, and Frances Ellis, a vocal soloist, who was teaching music to the children of Robert McKibben and Charles McDermott who were now resid- ing in Punkin Center. Here also, I saw Ellen Kennelly's famous millinery shop where Katherine Herr Neckar scrubbed the fioors and Charlotte Geary modeled the latest creations from Paris. Stanley Shepard had become a famous botanist and Raymond Dillon was his expert assistant. Carl Grillo was driving a taxi for the Betty Dickinson Five and Ten Cent Cab Company. James Gemmell was an umbrella mender in Scotland. The renowned South Pole Expedition led by Harold Lewis was made up of Louise Sawyer, Aileen Wilcox, Winifred Wescott, and Gladys Penfold. 'gWilburta Brown, Mary Bronson, and Agnes Shepard shall be house- wives, continued the little man, but you shall be known as Helen Schane, the snake-charmerf' And then I woke up.
