' 1 OHM Aciiom Give Life Strength U A personal financial independence is strong. The act of depositing money in an interest account in this Bank gets to be a habit as time passes, and by pursuing the habit, financial strength, which is important, is ac- quired, Now is the time to open your account. Jlrlember of FEDERAL DEPOSIT INSURANCE CORPORATION The CITIZENS NATIONAL BANK LANSFORD, PA. 64 f- ec Listen, my children, and you shall hear Not of the ride of Paul Revere, But of the deeds and exploits, ordained by Fate, Of the illustrious Class of '48. Bongo, bongo, bongo, here we are in the Congo, expressing our difficulties in writing a class prophecy to the natives. Realizing our situation, they decide to cook something up for us and believe us, such an aromatic concoction was never even thought of by the head chef at the Waldorf. After eagerly drinking it down, as our vision clears, a nice-looking Congo gentleman beckons to us to follow him to a-well, your guess is as good as mine, but it must be able to sail, for at once we find ourselves being whisked across the Atlantic 'till the Statue of Liberty enters our sight. But how changed! Instead of the familiar torch, she is displaying the familiar green and white banner of the Class of '4-8. What has this world come to? Mm! Look at Mahacek's Sizzling Steak House over there. Chief Sizzler is Julius Wolfe. Special tonight! Margaret Christ, Rose Chruslicki, and Josie Gaborik are some of the pretty waitresses ready to help you eat it. Dancing also! Joe Orsulak and his Fifty Fiddlers will introduce the new Vibrating Vocalist, Mildred Krizan. A dance team, The Pigeon-Toed Pretties, consisting of Mary Novak, Josie Marenchik, Eleanor Fignar, and Mildred Perko, will present the Radar Rumble. They will have a hard time as the floor has iust been waxed with Perzel's Little Slip Juice. There's a new building! Why, it's the Harry Smith Heal or Harm Hospital. There's Joe Mikulski operating a funny looking machine with feet. Oh, there's a man in it being diagnosed. They say he has Running Blood. Nurse Steffie Obulaney sends a note warning Dr. Swider of the seriousness of the case while nurses Elizabeth Eberhart and Betty Stewart follow with the unfortunate. Yipe! ls this the future of surgery? While the doc cuts with a saw and scissors, another nurse, Anna Novotny, beats him over the head with a poker. What's left of the patient resembles Joe Valent. Let's get out of here, but wait! There's John Pavlik, an orderly. He's carrying Chuckran's Curing Capsules to the room of Edward Keefer, Edward Jakubco, and Donald Brunda, foremost astronomers, who have had nervous dyspepsia ever since they found out, by their calculations, that the end of the world was near. Here we are at the Ritzy Women's Get-Together. Virginia James is hostess, Ann Fessler and Mary Dignazio are programme directors. Joan Herron and Betty DeFebbo are giving entrance exams to the members-to-be, Martha Cipko and Elsie Strepko. The guest of honor, Paul Vitek, is giving awards to the following members: Carolyn Smith, who was assisted by Norma Totani and Anne Surotchak, for the trans- lation of Eleanor Rusnak's book, Seven Ways to Plan a Party, into Latin, Margaret Polica, Marion Wargo, Rose Yantosik, and Dolores Stack, who recently published twenty volumes on Silence. Let's look in at the Sports Roundup. When Bernie Babinetz finishes advertising Gorka's Gorgeous Goggles, Master of Ceremonies Ed Powell gets the program rolling by announcing the Sportsmen of the Year. They are Pete Ferretti, who recently broke the record for the 2-foot dash, Joe Steranka, who scored a knockout over Charlie McCarthy, and Morgie Shinton, star bunter for the Bloomingdale White Bears. As we leave, Perry Castellini and Robert Bechtel are drawing up rules for the Boring Bowling Contest sponsored by the Boyle and Serina Bowling Avenues. Stopping at Harahus' Hotel, we find that there's a convention of business people here. Such notable names are inscribed in the register as Mary Ann Valent, fingerless nail-polish manufacturer, Faye Kocher and Bernie Vrabel, representatives from the famous Seek House of Fashions, Daniel Cipko, vice-president of Sky Hooks, Inc., Joe Jech, manufacturer of One-A-Year Cigarettes, Evelyn Benjamin, owner of a Million-A-Day Pretzel Factory, each pretzel differently designed by Betsy Burnett. A meeting of the exclusive Club 400, including such 400 wpm typists as Ted Fels, Bill Miller, Frances Ranalli, and Mary Tursmanovich, is being held in the dining room where those Winsome Waiters, John Katkocin, John Lupco, fContinued on page 673 65 Compliments Of TAMAQUA LAUNDRY A .35 Complimentf 0f H QIQJDWISISE CO. Reliable Since 1857, 'iv BROAD STREET TAMAQUA, PA Compliment: Of ZIMMERMAN'S DAIRY 2 NEW MAHONING, PA. 66 f-010 GC and Michael Nahai, are busy setting tables. Herby Hudasky interrupts the procedure by giving out samples of her Pep Juice, specially designed for pepless cheering sections while Banio Arieta tries to sell his Left-Handed Monkey Wrenches. The Silly and Senseless Cinemas have their studios here so we'll look around. Bill Bolles happens to be taking pictures of their latest western, Bustin' Beulah Rides No More. Bob Marouchoc, as the dashing cowboy, runs off with the lovely flapping-eyed heroine, Helen Katkocin, while the director, Eugene Skell- chock, and a wealthy ranch owner, Clarence Fritz, flirt with the pretty cowgirls, Jean Spence and Rose Hydock. There are still other sets, too. The Dead End Dandies, Joe Vanak, Eddo Shober and Joe Porambo, are causing quite a commotion. ls that Ed Vargo helping with Woodie Woodpecker? lt is! And along with his is-no, it couldn't be-Joe Svetz as Bugs Bunny. What's up, doc? The Three Stogies, Mike Sarabok, Bob Svaidlenka, and Louis Zaba, pass by, still as hilarious as ever. Here we are in ICU, the Bob Pavlick Television Broadcasting Corp. Who are the distinguished people before us? They're the experts of Information Sneeze. Don't you recognize Paul Hruska, French diplomat, Jack Cooper of Robot Rabbits and Co., Eleanor Balas, the inventor of Whistling Bubble Gum, and Dave Reinbold, author of the year's best novel, The Man Who Wasn't? Jeanette Semko is selling Unwettable Hankies for this sad program. ' Where's that music coming from? The audience is watching John Koshuta lead the Little Girls' Symphony Orchestra in Corinne Plocinik's Too Flat Concerto, featuring Betty Jean Arner at the ivories. Maxine Bender, lrene DeLauretis, and Alene Heagy, the Tiddlee-Wink Trio, render some tender torture. As we are transported back into the present, only one question remains unanswered in our minds. What chaos would result if all this became true? 'sf N ' T XXX! k .yi X will lv 'i l TQ? lliii lll 'll Wm -' t l If-E71 MJ?
