LITTLE FALLS HIGH SCHOOL SENIOR CLASS BOOK stick. Step lively there afore I throw ya in the cooler. Staggering from the force of the impact, the two unlucky Ones made their way to different sections, muttering foul things about lawfupholder Brazie. Say, brother, can you spare a cigarette? pleaded a voice, and turning I saw Harry Iewell lounging against a lamp post with a vague look on his face. Only one left, I replied, hurrying a little so as to escape. Alfonso Frezza now spied me and promised to take me to the Wings Club , which, he said, was a very elevating club. As we approached the doorway of the club- house Herbert Upright, splendid in a uniform rich with braid, opened the door and hurled Frank Malavasic bodily down the steps. Matthew Gorinshek came sneaking out and eluded the besplendent Her- bie. Smiting his chest with doubled fists, Herbie bellowed down at the now frightened Malavasic. I've told you before not to come in here, now scrum! and hitching his pants he strode back into the clubhouse and slammed the door in their faces. He's just the doorkeeper, explained Earl Goodrich, who was sitting on the porch, exclusive is right. Wait till you get inside. Being admitted by the now pacified doorman, we went to the lounge and noticed a little knot of men on their knees, seemingly quite excited about something- Seven come eleven! purred Bob Shanley, snapping his fingers. Crap! pleaded John Spurza and Mike Pal' amar. john Skandera and William Sivak now ap' proached the group and asked to join the game but were told to go fiddle their harps. In one corner of the lounge was a great luxuri' ous couch upon which Evelyn Champion was reclinf ing, garbed in a robe of royal purple trimmed with ermine. She was smoking a cigarette in a long holder and reading a book. Ruth Nast and jane Norris stood behind her, slowly fanning her with large ostrich feather fans. Bessie Paracka approached the couch bearing a tray loaded with hamburg sand' wiches. She kneeled before Evelyn, who languidly selected a hamburg and sent the rest back to the kitchen. She's waiting for her summons into Heaven, explained james Filipski, who was standing near me. You see, she has a lot of good deeds so she is entitled to ease here and I wish I had been better on Earth. Suddenly a whistle blew and Margaret Cotter, jennie Bober, Mary Fogarty, and Ahlene Lang jumped to their feet and tore out the front door of the clubhouse. I decided to follow them to see what was up. We ran down the street and into a tiny red brick building where Henning Haugard, in conf ductor's uniform was bawling out, Heaven, Para' dise, Eden and points upward! All aboard, all aboard! No, he exclaimed, suddenly seeing me, you don't go on this train, your not even going in this direction, your name isn't on my list. Somewhat embarrassed, I watched the train out of the station and was almost run over by Harold Myers who roared into the station in an immense, low hung automobile. The train, he shouted at me, for no particular reason, It's gone, I've missed it! Four more years to wait again, and getting into his car, off he drove. My, my, exclaimed Evelyn Topper, who was standing near by, that's the sixth time he's missed that train and each time he has to wait four years before he can try again. Fifth time, contradicted Beryl Watkins, who had just run up all out of breath. 'LI know, because this is the sixth time I've missed it and he has missed it once less than I have. Well, then its your seventh time, argued Evelyn, because it's Harold Myers' sixth. I've been here everytime except the Hrst four so I should know! Leaving the two in hot argument I wandered down to the business section and stopped outside a small enclosure marked Testing Grounds, where Maynard Tansley, William Palkows ki, Martin Cchodnicky and Edward Deyo were entering. An' thony Maj stood at the entrance, punching the red card, which each one held out to him as he entered. After the little group had entered I went up and asked Tony what the place was for. Well, he said, take a look inside first and then I'll tell you about it. Looking in, I saw Catherine Panik, Catherine Opesky, Martha Burrows, Annabelle Hclmer and Jeanette Everson, dressed in spangles, doing a chorus dance on a stage while the audience gaped at them. So, said Tony, that is the Hnal test for ap- plicants for Heaven. Their blood pressure is taken before they go in and again when the show is over. If they are fit for heaven their blood pressure doesn't rise more than 20 per cent. As he finished speaking, the five who had en' tered came out, each with a little white tag tied to his ear. Tony again punched their cards, and turn' ing to me said, that white card means that they stood the test. They usually don't all pass it though. Last week William Knowles' blood pressure rose 30 per cent and Steve Malek burst a blood vessel. You see, 1t'S not easy. Thanking Tony and wondering about my ability to pass the test, I wandered over to where E.izabeth Love and Helen Smith were looking at a billboard with some interest. Glancing over their shoulders I read the following: Do you want a Dictator? How would you like to be told what to eat and wear and where to sleep and what to do? If you don't want this, vote for Frank Gryzwaczewski for Administrator and Jennie Barczak for Overseer. Next to this was another sign: Don't you want a Dictator? Wouldn't you like to be told what to eat and wear, where to sleep, and what to do? If you would like this vote for Josephine Pawelek for Dictator, Florence Bucklin for assistant dictator and Pearl Rahm for fun. Deciding I didn't care whether there was a dicf tator or not as I soon expected to be passed through Purgatory, I asked the direction of the ticket agent's office and departed for there to see how soon I could qualify for one place or the other.
