STONY KNOWS - she's no longer a Miss Hoaglund. After all these years she's still proud of the engagement ring she received in '42. Helen Jones is also married-to a Romeo em- ployed by the Globe Oil. And Annamae Bush is married to a graduate of '42. They're dancing their way through life. Monny QLabickiJ built the summer home near Niagara Falls. Leona also tells me that Dorothy Wies is fa- mous as the doctor who invented a cure for which there is no disease, and that Phillip Schuda, who start- ed out as a leader of men, ended up as a follower of women. Art Tinley is a Professor of Litera- ture at Vassar. He always did excel in English. Married? Oh, Yes. Then Woods gave out with, What cha hear from the mob, Red? Well, when I took A. W. O. L. I stopped at Clarence Rohde's 'Friendly Tavern' for a short sasparilla and met Anna Marie Shafranski and Evelyn Tasharski -they're traveling saleswomen now-who had stopped for 'the pause that refreshes'. As they left, in came Vera Goode, presi- dent of the 'Sadie Hawkins Day Club'. She seemed very disturbedg you see, Bill Greenfield, leader of the local Temperance Movement, was picketing the place. From there I went to Miss Johnson's history making corner drug store fMiss Johnson couldn't tear herself away from historyj. It is the first corner drug store to be placed in the middle of the block. Ray Phelps is thc jerk there when he's not helping Dis- ney create characters. I told Ray, 'This is the last straw!' Ray said, 'That's o.k., you tube itg I'll drink out of a bottle.' Ray let me in on a secret. Alice Adams is known as the girl who doesn't go in to darn her hus- band's socks, but to sock her darned husband. And Naomi Johnson is chief organist at the Swedish Church. Mr. Klitzke referees boxing bouts. One of the women contestants recently boxed him because his eyelashes were longer. Then I ambled down Main Street, past Dolores Schomig's restaurant. Her sign read, 'All you can eat for a nickel'. Her special was G. A. A. hot dogs. Ed. Kendjora was inside passing out cigars-he's the father of quin- tuplets. That evening I went to Ray Zolecki's Stork Club. Ellen Doo- lin is the top chorus girl: yep, she's right in the front row. Next on the program was the comedian, Ed Rutkowski. Jennie Ostafin was having a swell time there. She decided not to marry because she found oil on her property. Oh well, I guess 'Oils well that ends well'. Guess who was sitting at a table in the back of the palms? Evelyn Verjostek, knitting sweat- ers for the soldiers. At the table to hers was Genevieve Ku- next jawa writing her 'Advice to Love- lorn' column. I was served a delicious din- of hamburgers and onions. cookinlr was supervised by Ruth Kromray, chief chef. For dessert I had buns. Yes, buns baked by June Kollman's husband with the aid of June. Always knew June'd marry a baker. On my way out I passed Mr. Shafranski's table. He was giving ner The a quiet party for Mr. Gerharz and' Mr. Piecarski. 'The little woman', so he explained, 'gave him a night out'. Mr. Shafranski is no longer bookkeeping teacher at L. T. H. S.: he's too busy growing four leaf clovers to sell to Hollywood pedes- trians. Mr. Piecarski read his radio script for his 'Snappy Come- 46 backs' radio program. He's Bob Hope's famed rival. Dawn Schultz is the star, Giggling Gert. Mr. Gerharz gave me a free pass on his Chattanooga Choo-choo. It stops at the North Pole and all points north. As soon as I got out of the door I felt a hand tug at my sleeve. Did I say tug? Well, I always did like sleeveless jackets. It was Claudia Totura soliciting custom- ers for her 'Home of Quality Meats'. Just then who flew past but Mickey McGuire, the hardened man hater. Mickey's flying with the American Airlineg and I do mean flying. She recently took out insurance on her airplane be- cause she hit a rock pile. As I started toward home, I met Miss Radican and she offered to give me a lift on the handle- bars. I politely declined but ac- cepted her offer to visit her Tea Shoppe and have my fortune told by Gypsy Rose Williams. Thelma gets all her tea, bags, from Mary Rita Hunter. Mary Rita cultivates a little plot of about 500 acres with only the aid of Margaret Ku- cera. They make a good team be- cause Margaret is known as the woman who won't let a person get a word in edge wise. At last I arrived at Hunter's Hot House Hotel where I was stay- ing. Bob met me out in front with a red lantern. You know, I don't think it's just so proper for him to wear a big 3x4 foot gold framed picture of Jennie around his neck. And then I took the elevator up to the top floor-you know, when I get up as high as the sec- ond story I get so dizzy-and I staggered down to my room and so to bed. One last word before we part, Colonel Woods. Is it better to be a colonel with an eagle on your shoulder or a private with a chick- en on our kneel '

.' x .3 Lb srslwmn T f If Nfl,- Jail si What was that?!! Why it was an explosion at an army camp in the Middle West-Colonel C. I. Woods found a hairpin in his mashed potatoes. Yes, a hairpin in an army camp! Muttering un- der his breath, I C U R, I C U B, ICUR 2 Y's 4 me he storms into the kitchen and demands an explanation from the yard bird who peeled his potatoes. A small voice pipes up from the corner, I 'DIDNT DO IT! The Col. looks twice fnosey, isn't he'!j and dis- covers the man with the long red beard is his old pal, Red Fesset, who has been on k.p. duty for the past 15 years. Then follows a busy afternoon -a ride in the Colonel's '41 Hud- son, chauffeured by Speed De- mon Charles Sallade, and a chat of old times and friends. The shy, timid Colonel starts the conversation with, I received a report from Admiral Bernard Schmidtke. John Bambrick is sta- tioned on submarine 0-Look mak- ing goo-goo eyes at the mermaids. The sub has its own band and Earl Cobb is the bass fiddler: he's as shy and short as he was in '42. Joe Martinck was with the unit too, but when he got such a large collection of Japanese teeth, he went into the piano business mak- ing the ivories. Heh, the Japs will get polished again. A report from the F. B. I. let out Margaret I-Iunkeler's profes- sion. You see, she sent the re- port. Marge always did have a way of finding out things. The WHERE WILL YOU BE IN 1962? CLASS PROPHECY report was about a Silent Soci- ety in Asia whose members are Evelyn Hoster and Lee Indykie- wicz. Here are some hot numbers, Red : Doris Holtorf is running a general store in Alaska: Dorothy I-Ieartt quotes her, 'If We've Got It We'll Lend It Loan Co.', as say- ing, 'No matter how long you pay you always owe'g Coach Waesco now ranks with Cantor - five daughters: Miss McCabe has a monopoly on wool and yarn-she insists on getting her quota of knitted sweaters finishedg Miss Roebuck and her husband, the fa- mous oil magnate, have their chain of gasoline stations all across the countryg Audrey Nelson is follow- ing in her sister's footsteps since Merry Lydia has been working for Major Bowes, turning his wheel of fortune 'round and 'roundg Norma Wolter won the Pulitzer Prize for her novel: 'Water Is So Wet', and our own Russell Sandberg is LQ- mont's challenge to the vitamin pill. When I met Dick Kieft last week, I said, 'I-Iello, Dick, still eut- ting your own hair I see. How are you all gettin' along'!' Dick replied, 'Not so good. I didn't get a wink of sleep: rolled and lossed all night.' Mr. Ott? 0h,- he goes from town to town with his one man band. Remember his violin? When I met Eugene Jagodzin- ski rushing down the Avenue, he said that it was the cat's night out and the 'little woman' told him he had to hurry home to catch mice. Jim, how'd you like to go with me tonight to see 'Romeo and Juliet'? Eugene Brzezinski is billed as Romeo. Or perhaps you'd rather go to the dinner at the White House. I'm sure Gilbert 45 Sigman, the famous politician, can get you a ticket too. I saw him at Smitty's last week-he's assist- ant bartender there. Irwin Re- diehs is to be the guest of honor. Irwin has a lot of people under him now-he's caretaker at the Rosehill Cemetery. Mrs. E. X. Citing is to be there. No doubt you read about Miss Trilling's marriage to Senator E. X. Citing. Miss Bannon will be there too- she's being escorted by STONY! They are still 'that way' about each other. And, of course, Marion Kozlowski, the President's private secretary's private secre- tary's private secretary will be present. Ann Finnegan is to be there to explain her new version of the Dewey Decimal system to the President. And this Sunday afternoon, Howie Ludwig-he takes care of the caretaker's daughter when the caretaker's taking care-, Herbie Martens who decided to be a law- yer since he enjoyed mixing in other people's business and thought he might as well get paid for it, Eleanor Radjenovich, who operates a dog hospital, Lucille Sniegowski who has an orphanage with the motto 'Take it or leave it', Lucille Zielke whose Insur- ance Co. has the slogan, 'You gotta die to get it', and I might go to the Civic Opera House to hear Naomi Swearingen, the Nevada dude rancher, sing 'The Flight of the Bumble Bee'. As there aren't any words to the music I suppose 'Na' will do the buzzing. Or else we might go to John Rieck's aquarium and see the 'Queen of the Mermaids', Rosaline Tieser, flap her fins. John also keeps Muriel Jacobson's butterfly col- lection at the aquarium. I received a visit from Leona Hoagland last Wednesday but
