Jim 79 6 gram pfwphw, Sara-Norma, don't we know two of the staff who are broadcasting the presentation? Norma-Sure, the announcer is Bill Charles and the other is Phyllis Myers, the television expert. Sara-Have you seen Marguerite Harris since she has retired after making her million in the manufacture of Harris Yummy Gummy Chewing Gum? l understand that she and her secretary-companion, Margery Fisher, are plan- ning a world tour. Norma-Yes, the last time I saw her she was at her villa in Timbuktu entertaining the world famous mathematician, John Percy Rhoades Ill, who studied under Einstein ancl now understands Einstein's theory better than the discoverer. ' Sara-Frances Baier has refused to run for a second term as President of the United States but has given her entire support to that great Republican leader, Vance Minsker Miller. Norma-Oh, I can see the celebrated con- cert pianist, Loris Gahl, performing her famous Concerto in Bb Maior in Carnegie Hall. Sara-There are some familiar faces in the audience too. The Secretary of the Navy and his wife, the former Colleen Burdick, are accompan- ied by the Postmaster General Lois Kline. And look, isn't that the former Mary Rodgers who has iust divorced her fifth husband? Norma-Yes, it's a shame none of her marriages succeeded like those of Phyllis Powers and Helen Anderson. Sara-Oh, there's some sort of accident. I do believe it's Tommy Colocino, the robot-mobile salesman. He must have been about to give a demonstration. Norma--They have taken him to the hos- pital in which Pauline Landon is the superin- tendent. Nurse Margaret Musheno is taking his temperature. Sara-l see Dr. Fred Lake hurrying to the hospital closely followed by his partner, Bill Bittner, a very busy Undertaker. Norma-Probably their next patient will be either Dean Carson, the world's champion pugilist, or the contestant for the title, Ralph Pepperman. Carson, who is managed by Vic- toria Homler, is going to have quite a battle to retain his title. Sara-The bout is being covered by Emer- son Wileman, the star sports reporter on the New York Times, which is edited by Elwood Pauling. Norma-Really, did you know that Phyllis Brooks is writing the Advice to the Lovelorn column in that newspaper? N Sara-Oh see, Mary's Store is now owned by Mary Willits and Vilma Welshans. The exclu- sive fashions featured there are designed by Mademoiselle Barbara Carpenter and are beau- tifully modeled by Pearl O'Donnell and Erma Wolfe. Norma-Jean Reitz is demonstrating the invisible toupee which has iust been discovered by the buyer, Sarah Mamolen. Sara-There is Nina Horn, the big game hunter, returning with numerous ferocious ani- mals for Mutchler's and Clark's Big Top Circus irecently purchased from Ringling Brothersj now in its winter quarters in Florida. Norma-Yes, Lester and Bob have several great artists in their troupe. Donna Reitzel and her partner, Albert Glantz, are the aerialists. Sara-But their biggest drawing cards are Evelyn Shields, the fat woman, and Bob Fudge, the world's shortest man. Norma--Did you know that they had hired the eminent Dr. Cecil Thompson as veterinarian to work exclusively with the circus animals? Sara-Do you see that big crowd at the Little Church Around the Corner? Boy, what a lot of excitement! I believe it's a double wedding. Norma-That wedding party looks familiar. In fact, there are some of our former classmates. The wedding ceremony is being performed by Rev. E. Byron Brooks. Sara-Look, the brides, Annabell Case and Dorothy Winter, are wearing orange and black velvet in honor of our Alma Mater. Their at- tendants are Naomi McClure and Mae Thomas resplendent in red and green lace dresses. Norma--Here come the happy grooms, fol- lowed by the best men who are none other than Gale Thomas and Paul Dorner. The soloist is the famous opera singer, Amber Shope. Sara-Two of the ushers are Stanton Flook, the great agriculturist, and his assistant, Neil Hurlbutt. Norma--Do you think that we have seen all of our classmates? Sara-Yes, l believe we--no-there is Bill Levegood. And, golly, after twenty-five years he has finally reached the rank of Seaman First Class in the United States Navy. Norma-Gee, hasn't this been a lot of fun? Sara-It's been positively super. There's a big comet scheduled to pass soon which l shall try to catch for a visit to your cloud. Norma-l certainly hope you make, it. l suppose that we'd better hang up because some- body on earth is trying to get a call through to the moon. Sara--Yes, since they have discovered wire- less telephone, it's been quite busy up here. Well, so-long, see you soon. Norma-'Bye for now. Orange and Black - 19

Jim 79 6 gm pfw The time is l97l. Imagine that we, Sara Karstetter and Norma Beerweiler, have, through the strange quirks of fate, been transported to the upper atmosphere and are now residing on two sturdy clouds. By using powerful binoc- ulars, we find the entire earth to be quite visible to us. We invite you to listen to the following telephone conversation between us. fThe phone rings.l Norma--Hello. Sara-Is that you, Norma? Norma-Yes, it is. Who's speaking? Sara--This is Sara. Bobette Miller, the fam- ous astronomer, told me the good news about your being in the vicinity as she floated past during her search for a lost drop of milk from the Milky Way. How did you get here? Norma-As you remember, I entered a research laboratory after finishing my nurse's training. Dick Hunter, the chief chemist in my lab, accidently mixed the wrong chemicals. The next thing I knew I was sitting on this nice fleecy cloud. But how did you arrive? Sara-As a trained nurse I was flying cross country to go on a case when our plane, flying very high, developed engine trouble. We bailed out over a large cloud, and before I knew what had happened, I had made a soft landing on it. Gosh, it's certainly a soft life. Norma-Can you see the people on earth from your cloud? Sara-Yes indeed, I've been enioying my- self searching for different people I knew. Norma-Oh, Sara, let's see if we can find our classmates of '46. Sara-That's a marvelous idea. I'll try to find some while you find others. Norma-There's Mr. Grugan still in his position as the principal of the Jersey Shore High School, but I see several new faces among the faculty. Mary Edwards has taken over Mrs. Eberenz's place, and Bill Reid has filled the posi- tion Left by the retirement of Mr. Packard. Phys- ical education is being taught by Nancy Kline. Sara-They should certainly have a good football team now that Joe Arduini is the coach. Golly, they certainly have enlarged the school since we were there. Norma-Yes, haven't they. Look, isn't that Gladys Marks acting as chief cook with Frances Lorsong as her able assistant? Sara-And there's Edna Kreitz working in the office as head secretary with Beryl Waltz and Ruth Welshans to aid her. Norma-Gaze at those bright lights in Avis. lsn't it a night club? Sara-It is at that. Imagine a night club in Avis! It seems to be owned by Allen Yearick. And there's Paul Reeder in uniform--as doorman! The hat-check girls are Gladys Overdorf and Ruth Miller. Norma-The orchestra looks great to me. But how could it be otherwise with Phil Clark directing such talented musicians as Dorothy Dawson, Norma Doebler, Ellen Young, Ann Braucht, and Helen Sweeley? Sara-The drummer is none other than Ed Hawkins who is just as active as he was in school. Norma-Hubba! Hubbal Do you see the vocalist? Seth Updegraff must be Perry Como's successor. Sara-There should be very good food with Monsieur Donald Morlock as chef and Thelma Durrwachter baking the pastries. With Ed Die- trick as head waiter and Doris Brownlee direct- ing the waitresses, the service is indubitably excellent. Norma-Did you know that quite a few of our classmates have started schools of their own? See that sign that says Bierly, Leone, and Winter Commercial College? That must be Christine, Nanette, and Mary, our old commercial sharks. On the opposite corner is a beauty school run by Lois Dochter. Sara-Norma, do you see what I see? There's Gary Derr who is now Dean of Vassar. Norma-What a commotion there is in Salladasburg! Can you see what's going on? Sara-lt's a robbery, and I do believe it is at the new bank of which Jim Cohick has just been made the president: Oh, I iust caught a glimpse of the faces of the bandits! They are Bob Campana and Harry Johnson, I'm sure. Norma-Here comes Alfred Eck, the chief of police, on the run. Why is that other fellow speeding away? Sara-It's Mayor Bennett Derr-going the other way, of course. Norma--Let's see how those of our class- mates who have left the vicinity of Jersey Shore to seek their fortunes are progressing. Hasn't Doris Long advanced very rapidly to her post as editor of Look? - Sara-There she is now presenting Elmers to the outstanding movie makers. The first one is given to Eunice Meiser, the director of the true- to-life drama, Smellbound, that sensational play written by the eminent playwright, Joanne Thompson. l Norma-The best dramatic actress of the year was also chosen from this greatly lauded picture. She's our old classmate, Anna Mae Lytle. ' I Orange and Black -- I8
