it -' 1 1936 YEAR BOOK into the doorway, I noticed that Hannah Goff and Helen Mackie were busy making lunches. After a short conversation I learned that both were running the cafeteria, and the goods were supplied by one of William Currier's chain stores. for Bill and his sister Marion Currier were o,wners of the largest chain store organization in New England. Leaving the ladies to their work, I went upstairs. Vtfalking into the prin- cipal's office, I was greeted by Mary Greenler who in a conversation told me' that she was taking the place of Mr. Hayes who had retired, and was now busy writing a new book of Mathematical Theories. She also told me that' she was ably assisted by Doris Lebel. Leaving Miss Greenler to her work, I,wandered into the library. Here I found Oscar Richard cleaning the trophies. Inquiring why he was doing this, he told me he was the sole proprietor and worker of the North Andover VVindow Cleaners and Polishers, and he thought it was his duty to keep the trophies in shape. NValking to Room S, I found Miss Mason teaching French. XVhen she recognized me, she stopped her work and joined me in a pleasant conversa- tion. From this chat I learned that Anne Moore and Dorothy Reeves were serving as Models for Harry Cohen, who was a famous artist. As I went down stairs, I walked to the manual training room. Here I found John Benson. who had left his West Boxford ranch to teach pupils the. art of wood work. Leaving John, I decided to walk to Stevens Pond. As I was walking past the mill, I saw Frank Cunio who told me that he was the day watchman, and that Stella Ringalo was Anthony Kapeika's secretary, for Tony was now. a superintendent in the mill. As I came to the pond I found Doris Albrecht reading a book. In a con- versation I learned that she had charge of the girls' building, and that CFranj. Mary Burns was her helper. She also told me that Mary Koroskys was the' owner of the biggest fruit orchard in North Andover. Mary had hired Rita McDonald to be her chauffeur and Mary McIntosh was her maid, also influ-E encing Julia Malek to be her cook. ' Miss Albrecht told me that there was a carnival at Grogan's Field, and if' I ,went to see it, I would get a few surprises. About eight that night after having supper with the Evangeloses, Jim and I went to the carnival. The first attraction was a fellow influencing the people to throw base- balls at the nigger-dodger. I recognized this fellow to be George Nolan, and the nigger-dodger was Joseph McEvoy, whom I c0uldn't help but recognize under his black even though he had painted himself up. ' XVe came to a tent which housed the fortune-tellers and they were none other than Claire Carroll, Catherine Cunningham and Phyllis Keating. The greatest of all dancers. those three young ladies. Step up and see them dance! This is what I heard Leroy Duncan shouting, and whenl came closer I recognized his dancers as Allison Kirk, Corinne Lewis and Grace Pearson. I also found Dorothy Taylor selling the tickets for the show. VValking farther we saw Viola DeNault selling pop-corn and ice cream. The best thrills of the night were supplied by Fred Phelan who put on an exhibition of tight-rope walking, and by Sylvia Broderick doing her 100 foot dive into five feet of water. As I was flying back to New York, I knew I would never forget the pleas- ant day which I had spent in my old home town. VITOLD GABYS 29- I
