They offer many courses, the most popular of which are How to Talk Yourself Out of Difficult Situations, How to Speak Fluently Under any Circumstances, and The Art of Creating a Riot. The graduation exercises of the school are always attended by a large gath- ering from police headquarters, lest the pupils demonstrate their art too successfully. Flash: New York Ernest White has just completed his latest edition of White’s Abridged Dictionary. His dictionaries have become just as widely used as Webster’s. Kid Bowser, America’s lightweight champion, and his manager, New- ell Eames, arrived in New York today just prior to his battle with Tuffy Callahan. During an interview with the reporters Eames said that Bows- er’s only problem was to gain enough weight to contend for the heavyweight crown. Kid Bowser, by the way, is Alexander Ferzoco. Helen Powers is the head athletic coach at Vassar College. She is such a great sport enthusiast and is so well liked that students compete for a place in her class. | Raymond Tillotson, Mansfield’s contribution to the music world, has just finished a long term engagement at the Central Park Casino. He left immediately to start a personal appearance tour. His first stop will be at Mansfield’s La Boheme Night Club. He is to be accompanied by his orch- estra and his featured singer, Bing Giovino. Angie Scialoia and Margaret Deprizio have opened their new Beauty Salon on Fifth Avenue. ‘They are patronized by New York’s Smart Set. Margaret’s prime object is to give all her patrons a beautiful complexion, while Angie’s specialty is giving permanents guaranteed to last an entire week.

Mop H, oa Y EARFBOOK CLASS PROPHECY by Bertha Gross Good evening, Mr. and Mrs. America. This is your Mansfield cor- respondent, Bertha Gross, giving you her version of news through a wo- man’s eyes. Before I go to press, let me state that I am dedicating this program to the Class of 1937 of the Mansfield High School, since tonight is the tenth anniversary of our graduation. It has taken much laborious re- search, but I have succeeded in learning the fate of all my classmates. And now to press. Flash: By way of the high seas: London: Margaret Day, London’s favorite night club entertainer, begins a long term engagement at the Mayfair this evening. Miss Day has just returned from a vacation in her native United States. Paris: Ethel Keating today married Lord Baltimore Maynard. Lady Ethel was a member of Earl Carrol’s Vanities. Berlin: Dr. Tony Farinella and his associate, Dr. Charles Colella, today landed in Berlin. From here they will proceed to Vienna to attend the convention of the International Medical Association. Every nation sends its foremost doctors to this important meeting. (It certainly makes me feel proud to think that Uncle Sam has chosen two of my classmates for such an important mission. ) Paris: The annual Parisian Style Show closed today. Among the designers exhibiting gowns was our own Theodore Wilson. His well- known Gowns by Theo have caused a sensation. Frances Shepard was chosen as the most beautiful manikin at the show. Flash: Boston: The Honorable Joseph Lucy today was elected president of the Massachusetts State Senate. Young Mr. Lucy’s rise to fame has been nothing short of meteoric. He has been president of the Amalgamated ‘Tin Company of America, president of the Newport Yachting Club, and has held the same office in many other associations. And by the way, Mr. and Mrs. America, Joe was our class president for three successive years. Boston: Henry Steele appeared at Symphony Hall last evening and held the audience spellbound for two consecutive hours while he performed upon his Stradivarius. The high-light of the program was Steele’s rendi- tion of Rimsky Korsakov’s immortal composition, The Bee. Boston: At a dinner held last Wednesday evening the Boston Evening Transcript paid homage to Ruth Griswold, who has been working for the paper for the past three years. She writes many of the witty stories which appear in the publication every day. [28 ]

M. H. S. YEAR BOOK of the school is William Fiske. Aurora Albertini and Enis Blandori have opened a food shop. Their success is due mainly to the delicious bread which they bake. As the saying goes, ‘They are up to their necks in dough!” Ripley’s Rippling Ryhthm Revue is ending its week’s engagement at the La Boheme Night Club. Just for your information let me say that his company includes the XYZ Sisters, (better known to us as Mary Beatty, Dorothy Dunne, and Ruth Smith). The master of ceremonies is Victor Delliacono. Speaking of the La Boheme Night Club, I might say that the proprie- tor of the club is none other than Thomas Gillespie. I asked “Tom once why he had followed this vocation. He said that he always had enjoyed night life and therefore he had built the club, so that he could stay up late every evening without making excuses to his father. Elia Ferri is employed as an Italian interpreter at Ellis Island. Elia says that all her success is due to her study of that language at the Mans- field High School. Helen Prohodsky has entered the nursing profession. She is head nurse at the Massachusetts General Hospital. Sterling Conrad, Mansfield’s strong arm of the law, last night captured three bandits single handed, just as they were about to break into the police station. It is said that Mr. Conrad’s conspicuous bravery will make him our next chief of police. Flash: New York Edward Corey, Editor-in-Chief of the New York Daily, held a fare- well party at his home last night for his friend and business associate, James Fletcher. Jim, who draws cartoons in a manner not unlike Walt Disney’s left this morning for Hollywood, where he will draw cartoons to be made into motion pictures. Flash: By way of the high seas: Vienna, Austria: “The Countess Lewellen has again consented to say “T Do.” The lucky bridgegroom? He is the Baron Lotta Monee. ‘Their intimate friends say they will be married early in the fall. And who is the countess? Why she is our own Alberta Salls. Paris: Marian St. Cyr, our Paris fashion correspondent, sends news that at last the American influence is being felt in Europe. Instead of the usual flowers on the ladies’ spring bonnets, the designers are this season adorning their hats with miniature skyscrapers. (It would be just too ter- rible if the Egyptian influence were felt and designers began placing minia- ture pyramids on hats. ) Flash: Mansfield Mr. and Mrs. Arthur ————— of 49 Central Street, Mansfield, are today observing their fifth wedding anniversary. Mrs. ————— is the [ 30 |
