THE 194-3 ILLOHMET Senior Prophecy Have you heard? Then hark and you shall hear about the brand new assistant to “Young” Dr. Ralph Frazier—she is known to us as Mrs. Ralph Frazier (Janice Sweney.) Their most frequent patient is “thin man” Clayton McLuckie. The new “High powered” salesman for the newly opened nitroglycerin company is Charles Baldwin alias “Tex.” He claims there is nothing better for killing or curing your “love ailments.” If this fails to satisfy your problems in love take them to Alpha Della Girtman and buy her latest pamphlet on “Ten Easy Steps to Matrimony.” Mary Steele has her office in the same building and has recently written a book on “How to Dress for a Date Without Calamities.” Alice Lee Armstrong (Pryor), Charlene Barfield. Winifred Lippert, Ruth Jenkins, and Nellie Mae Bradley have opened the “Commercial Mad House” where they are offering to stenography students the great opportunity of having their homework completed for the low price of $5.00 per 15 words. (As yet they have had no patrons.) A strange aroma might lead you around the corner where you would discover the “Troutman Bakery” owned by Oscar David and managed by a crew of lovely lovelies—Joyce Sweney, Dorothy Miller, and Betty Angel. As I eyed the morning newspaper I noticed the Grand Plaza billed Marilyn Owens as the discovery of the year in the art of tumbling. Thomas Graman proves to be the best druggist in the city and “Shorty” Erhardt is his official “soda jerk.” The famed authoress Lorraine Smith recently completed her novel. “Moonlight As Seen By Two,” and is planning to “tie the knot” with Kenneth Caldwell (the famed trombonist), this June. A corporation for building plastic bombers was organized today by William Holt. Sylvester Edwards. John Martin and Billy Foreman. They have announced their plans to bomb Tokyo. Wanda Bullock. Marie Bess, and Jacqueline Fisher recently returned from the wilds of Africa where they have been serving in the WAAC’s. Billie Jo Lindsey (Tiner) and Pat McCluskey (Steers) have recently invented a machine that makes beds, washes and dries dishes and puts the dinner on to cook while they stroll out for a game of pinochle at their neighbor’s. Helen Tanner and Hilda Reiman are known as the smallest models this side of heaven. They are the models of those two famous men, Donald May and John Burk-head, who now have offices on Fifth Avenue. Harold Cox has been given a distinguished medal for his work in the Paratroopers Corps. Anna Dennis. Mary Stout, and Aritta DeWitt. are in an opera, “Apple A Day,” which is opening this week at San Francisco Muny. Virginia Grice, Pauline Wharton, and Betty Crane have just compiled a book “Complete Instructions On How To Spend Your Husband’s Money.” Kenneth Barham and Beryl Hurt have announced the opening of their beauty shop “Ye Olde Powder Puff” in Boston, Massachusetts. Laverne Gandy and Melva Hilgeinan now are the sole owners of the Jingle Jangle Jingle Telephone Company. Jeane Van Hooser is a dignified judge in the Supreme Court in Springfield, 111. Well, now that you’ve heard the news of the world you might be interested to know that your commentator was none other than Mary Helen Littlemeyer, broadcasted through the courtesy of Rytoff—the corn remover, cure for fallen arches, falling hair, broken fingernails, overweight, underweight, pink toothbrush, and a remedy for squeaky hinges.
