clear us, and Laurie Armour along with Larry Brooks in charge of the Poorly Projected Picture Corporation which produces the too, too” late show. Master of ceremonies on that show is none other than the old why not boy himself Charley Walsh. The sponsor of the show, Nancy Baker, whose commercial reads, Meldon ' s Mellow Moun- tain Dew — Buy ’em by the duffle bag” has as her star, Pogo Luker who was the recipient of the 1981 Oscar. Famous in California is Meredith ' s Rocky Retreat which raises and trains all the horses used at Barber’s Glue Factory. We are proud to know ' that John Soroka and Linda Saarela have purchased the How ' ard Hughes Airplane Hangars and have converted the plant to the manufacturing of full scale coat hangers. Work- ing for them as janitors are Edw ' ard Deane and Robert Whitehouse of the Hot Air department — each in charge of his own stoker. They are privileged to have Pauline and Judith Kavaleski as well as Loretta Weir as secretaries. They are living examples of the axiom that those w ' ho go around in circles shall be known as w ' heels. Speaking of w ' heels, Jean Whe eler is the designer of the S and S hanger — a do-it-yourself kit that’s sure to end all your troubles. One of the musts w-hen visiting California is the famous Irish restaurant owned by Drozdowski and Zawadzki. Their specialty is a glass of water, nap- kin, and a redw ' ood toothpick. Now ' you may not think this original, but the process of extracting the thin toothpick from the giant redw ' ood is an extra- ordinary feat accomplished by the expert chopper. finisher, polisher, Jim the Ax” Fundahn. He is assisted by Sandra Spratt, chief toothpicker, and Catherine Lydon who tests for uniformity in size and weight. The reason the F ' undahn toothpick is terrific is that it contains Erkkila 8’V8 — what is life w ' ithout it! The restaurant features Chris Nelson, Nancy Uljua, and Elaine Kitowicz who dance to the Bombo beat of Boothroyd’s Bayou Bongo Combo — the latest teenage craze ! ! This combo features Aho, Vincent, Laskowsky, and O’Loughlin, each with their own bongo. So you can well see that your California friends have added more to the place than the climate. Las Vegas has attracted a few of the alumni. Traveling through the city one meets many potential business tycoons, pulling all kinds of shrew ' d deals. Just ask John Kulevich, he has just been sold the Golden Gate Bridge by Tom Takum” Parker. His companion Pinchum” Pekkala is learning the busi- ness fast from Tom, a pro ! Tom has been so successful that Bill Lizotte has been chosen to portray his life in Paul Crotty’s new drama which will soon open on Tin Pan Alley. The show is an expose of Big Business ” in the West. Ralph Martino, private eye, is given the credit for bringing facts of the expose to the public. So you can see Mr. Sivonen, the class of ’57 has many varied occupations. We have flow ' n them here tonight, all expenses paid, for a reunion at the Waldorf Castoria Hotel, where you will be guest of honor. Time is running out — Goodbye and Good Luck — This is Your Life — Fred Sivonen. 28
