THE 1942 ILLOHMET SENIORS IN 1952 By Delores Lynn The Adkins and Bremer Webuildem Factory is manufacturing on a large scale E-Z-Studee machines to study for high school students, so they can sleep all the time. It does everything from solving algebra equations to taking shorthand dictation. Miss Pearline Thomas has opened a delicatessen shop, with Jimmy Armstrong and Harry Edwards sampling all food before it is sold. William Buchanan has opened a nationwide chain of Kill or Kure Drug stores. Herbert Teckenbrock manages the Metropolis store. Charles “Pulverizer” Dyer, Passemall College, Grand Canyon, Colorado, has been chosen water boy for the All American Football Team. As a reward he has received a gold water bucket. All the girls think he’s darling. Miss Gloria Fitchpatrick and Miss Jacqueline Fisher are opening their new night club, “Ramble Inn”. On the opening night you will be entertained by the music of John Sleeter’s hot dance band. Some of the band members with whom you are familiar are: Billv Searles, saxophone; Henry Schmidt, trap drums; L. T. Evers, sousa-phone; William Corson, piccolo; Milton Lindsey, vocalist. They invite you to “Swing and Sway the Sleeter Way”. The floor show features the world-farr.ous Jitterbug Jeeps, Jimmy Pettiford and Sally Bull. Omar Crafton, in memory of his own school days, has installed reclining seats with air-inflated cushions in Metropolis high school so students can sleep in peace without breaking their necks. If you want a date and can’t get one for yourself, call Belt-Wiseman Date Bureau. They guarantee to get you a gal but it’s up to you to keep her. Their best customer is KeuDen Maess. But if you fail to keep your man, you can always find the welcome sign out at the “Old Maid’s Home” owned and operated by Betty Compton, Felva Cummins, Melva Wilke and Mary Brannon. They have plenty of room and are always looking for company. Dr. Patricia Goyert has just opened a hospital. Her first patient, Dale Speckman, is suffering from severe eye-strain contracted while looking at Dr. Goyert through high-powered binoculars. The Jackson boys, Fred, George, and William, have invented a new farm machine, a combination plow, combine and corn-husker, which will make work on a farm simple and very easy. Hooray for the Jacksons! We wish to announce the opening of the Adams Dress Shoppe, owned and operated by Miss June Adams. Miss Adeline Kotter will design the dresses and Miss Betty Howell will model them. Miss Mildred Moorman has just finished her revised edition of Gregg Shorthand. Miss Moorman believes shorthand should be made easier for students because she herself could not understand shorthand in the old edition. At the Baynes Better Business School, Miss Geneva Baynes, Proprietor, you can learn shorthand in three weeks if you live through the strain. The teachers are Laverne Stratemeyer, Business English; Betty Neicamp, Moorman Shorthand; Betty Mittendorf, Bookkeeping; and Jewell Parr, Typing. The Brides-To-Be Cooking and Sewing Club, is now under the leadership of Virginia Philips, Elaine Johnson, and Doris Hillebrand. If you want a good picture of yourself or your family go to Smith’s Studio. Wilburn guarantees a good picture of you no matter what yo look like when the picture is taken. If you can’t find anything to do, take a moonlight ride on the Rodenberg Excursion Boat. Billy is an old school mate of yours. When you need a corsage for your date call Jessing’s Florists. Bob crossed a rose with an orchid. The outcome is a beautiful rosorchid. It has a purple center surrounded b red petals.
