CLEOPATRA: (Indignantly) The old Roman Senate was nothing like this when my boy friend Julius was in charge! The women have token over! Suzie Gist. Jo Ann Kersell. Sue Nutter. Lorna Nixon. Donna Ruff. Janice Wedge. Elberto Knight, and Emma Jean Krebs are in the House of Representatives, and the Senate is almost as bad. There are Rhodo Hacker. Carol Roby. Delores Rhymer. Dorothy Suiter, and Lois Worth- man. and a lone male. Kenny Westenhouser. MARIE: Girls. I have news of some former classmates who are in the entertainment field. Sara Brown is a concert singer now touring Europe. Vera Fahrer and Patty Kindler are o clarinet duo billed as The Long and Short of It. Jerry Stepleton is a night club torch singer in New York City. Mary Bailey and Jeon Bailey ore on acrobatic team known as The Bouncing Bailey Sisters, although of course, they are not really sisters. Rosie Welch is retiring as the New Gypsy Rosie Lee. Her manager was Ruth Webb. Her chorus line consisted ol Winona An- derson. Arlene Hayes. Donna Miller. Donna Shaeffer. and Bernadine Silcott. HELEN: (slightly grieved) In the olden days they called it chariot racing, now it’s colled sulky racing (those funny little kiddie-cars!) Some of the more famous drivers are Harold Hiller. Bill Hoffman. Howard Holmes. Don Lutz, and Fred Veverka. George Long takes bets with the aid of Tom Kitsmiller. I understand thot they are really making a killing. CLEOPATRA: (very sorrowful) The new air- port finally came into being. I swear by the great green Nile that these fools of men will kill them- selves in these odd contraptions! Don Karcher's the head pilot. At the Information and Ticket desk are Rita Shuttleworth and Ann McFarland. Thelma Yenrick. Lois Woods. Carolyn Wendell, and Jo Ann Stewart are among the stewardesses. Among the pilots ore Noel Weidner. Delmos Thompson, and Jack Woods. The mechanics are Benny Waits and Gerald Sprang. MARIE: ( Speaking of green, get a load of her face! ) Doris Mattox is the assistant prin- cipal of the new L. H. S. In her office she has Marilyn Downs. Lois McClelland, and Ann Simons. HELEN: (Whispers, in a horrified tone) Here comes Kent Stohly, our former class pres- ident. The strain was too much for him. The poor fellow is crazy as a coot! Why. he thinks he is Napoleon!

championship. Sue Hritz, who is too feeble to do anything, just watched. Last week the two homes held a joint party. Shirley Spung, Jack McKib- ben. Bill McNaughton, Rita Rockey. Darlene Sater. Lonny Deeds, Freddy Foub!9, and Marilyn Shonting enjoyed acmes of Post Office and Spin the Milk Bottle. After the refreshments of milk toast and tea were served to the old folks by Jo Ann Cattran and June Bean, who were still mighty spry, the old people were entertained by John Osterhage, who gove imitations of Donald Duck and Mickey Mouse, screen stars of a by-gone day. HELEN: Marie, you have spoken most truly, but know you that it was reported to me by Jo Ann Helser, now co-owner of the B-H feed store chain, that they employ Anne Kane (who models feed sacks), and in their office as typists, Jo Ann Eslinger and Jo Ann Amerine. To distinguish the Jo Ann's, they call them Jo. Jody, and Jo Ann. respectively. Max Hickman, David Schilling, and Harold Niggemyer are preaching the Gospel. Gods upon Olympus. I call upon you to witness this heresy! James Bushee has iust won a national award for a prize winning photograph. MARIE: It’s a good thing you weren't around. Helen you'd have had your famous face in the front row. I hove noticed a new chariot road through Lancaster. Shopkeepers ore thriving along the side of the road. Dick Pifer is opening a new drive-in movie theater to be colled Pifer’s Royal Palace. He is employing os ushers. Roy Enmen, Bill Byerly, Robert DeLong, and James Divelbliss. The people who work in his refresh- ment stand are Norma Childers, Janice Bena- dum, Brigito Soles, and Patty Bope. The movie to be shown at the grand opening will be They Were Perishable. starring the singing sisters, Mary and Patty Perry. On the other side of the road is a farm-implement garage. Frederick Beougher and Paul Bitler demonstrate tractors to the customers. Leo Bowers is the owner of the garage and the head mechanic. He employs os a specialist in the repair of manure spreaders. Roger Figgins. CLEOPATRA: I sow the new chariot road also. Farther down the road you can see a new drive-in beauty salon, operated by Pauline Drum. Joann Doss, Pnyllis Darfus, ond Lu Anne Dickson. They call it the D-Drive-ln Beauty Salon. The girls employ Phyllis Cavinee os their manicurist. Mary Bussard and Jo Ann Brill were picketing up and down in front of the Beauty Salon with signs proclaiming D-Drive-ln unfair to the Beauty Workers Union. MARIE: I spoke with Dan Goss who has just returned from the Senate at Washington. (Oh, these radical democracies, allowing the people to have something to say about their government!) He tells a sad tale of the many fine men who are entangled in the red tape of the Pentagon. Bernard Snonk and Wally Smock are members of the Committee on Committees of the Armed Forces Committee. Dick Pursell, Jim Rife, and Norman Imler ere disbursing officers. They have written so many pay checks that they see dollar signs in front of their eyes instead of spots. Don Robson and Jack Roe are office boys. Horry Moore and Ronald Moore are officers in charge of the Salute. It is their duty to see that everyone gives the proper salute to the proper person. Naturally, their work is classified Top Secret. Bob Henwood is the Countersign Officer. He must see that there is a new pass word every day. The countersign for the day when Dan left was Canasta!” to be answered by Rummy! Frank McGrow formed a committee of one to unwind red tape.” HELEN: I hear that Joy Mills and Mary Norris have retired from the wrestling ring after many profitable years as champion TV wrestlers. Carol Leohner is now a referee with an Austral- ian Tag team.” CLEOPATRA: Dearie, you should have gone into the ring. (You’d have made a good mat!) Also in the field of athletics, I have been told, is Dick Asher, retired P. G. A. champion, who is giving golf lessons. He is assisted by Harold Waugh, who is now the Pro at the Lan- caster Public Golf Course. Larry Thomas and Bob Thomas are tumbling and weight lifting champions billed as The Terrific Thomases. MARIE: Two former members of the Class of '52. Marcia Shipley and Geraldine Mathias, have formed a secretarial employment agency. They have been very successful in finding jobs for such people as Jo Ann Miller. Betty Patrick. Jean Peer, Greta Tolliver, Joyce McGee, and Rhoda Saunders. HELEN: As a great orator. Demosthenes had better look to his laurels for Barbara Mattox is a high powered orator in the wilds of Africa, where she is a missionary to those backward Egyptians. She took Jo Anne Gillespie and Patsy Sherburn with her as medical missionaries. Page Tw«n»y-oight
