IF YOU WANT TO KNOW SEE NINETEEN HUNDRED FORTY It proved to be jack Osteritter on his way to Rockefeller Center where he and Thomas Schrass were chemists. He a'lso told me about some of our 1940 Seniors. jeanne Swanson was a nurse at Bellevue Hospital and Marian Ritchie was the librarian there. Marie Schmeltz was modeling clothes as was jean Schmitt and Elmer Voit was bookkeeper at Tiffany's. But he had to hurry to work and then he came back and said, You know, Flora Palarzi is a night club singer and Uh! Can she sing! Yes, she can really sing. fthoughtfullyj Well, goodbye until I see you again. Goodbye, Jack, I answered and with that I entered Tiifany's. There on the counter stood a picture of Norma Ziegler displaying rings on a beautiful pair of hands. But I oculdn't stay in New York much longer, so I left for the airport to board the M.H.S. plane for home. There I mfet Alice Moedinger and Anne Murslack as hostesses and Robert Braun as pilot.

THE MILLVALEAN All in all it was a day of discoveries for me, but more was coming because I tuned in the radio and heard Elizabeth Klug give some household hints , while her dietitians, Etta Mae Mohr and Lois Bergman, aided her. After this I saw Thelma Rheam face me is-n the television screen for she was demonstrating ia face cream for an attractive complexion. Soon after that, I turned to the paper and saw Michael Guido's and Stan Siranovich's pictures on the first page. Mike has just won the National Bowling Championship and Stan was lightfheavyweight champion and it certainly did my heart good to see Millvale under the pictures. On the other side of the page was a picture of Dan McCauley dressed in the Pittsburgh Pirate's uniform as he hit the home run that won the World Series. All these discoveries were too much for me and I crawled into my bed for a good night's rest. The next day I awoke bright and early to do some shopping. I strolled down Fifth Avenue and saw a large sign which prominently displayed hats. I walked into the shop and the first person I saw was Mildred Berneberg, who was the pro-prietress and Lavina Schafer, her assistant. They ran a complete clothing shop with models for everything. Alvina Bauer modeled shoes, Margaret Colville wore hats, Ruth Ditmore was in the dress department, Betty Ann Dillman was in the glove department and Betty Zeilfelder was modeling coiffures. I asked Mildred about everyone in New York and I was surprised to hear that jimmy Donaldson was New Yorkis popular artist and Marie Kaib was his favorite model. jack Biery was publishing a book on etiquette and Robert Derringer was doing the printing. Eddie Bender was one of the best referees in the country and Richard Dotterweich was one of the top sports writers. Sidney Garfinkel wlas the noted radio commentator on sports while Henry Erk was holding down his position as the circulation manager. But I couldn't stay any longer, so I left for Radio City to see some of the broadcasts. As I entered the building, I ncticed that a new broadcasting studio was being built. Much to my surprise and amazement, I learned that Walter Aldinger was chief architect. The many famous personages from Millvale in Radio City amazed me. There was Lucille Heimbuecher who was publicity director of a large firm, William Koza was the hero in one of the daytime serials and Bernice Lang was the heroine. Elizabeth Wilhoit was the Singing Lady and Walter Kennedy was running for the governorship of New York and gave many speeches over the radio. But suddenly we turned to the sports world and I soon discovered that Joe Canonico was winning honors in basketbwall and Robert Weber was mowing down all players on the proffootball field. But Walt was then called by Karl Lache, the backer of his programs, and Robert Horton, this gag'man, so I unwillingly left. But I didn't go far for right across the street was the public library where I found Armella Yochum as reference librarian and Irene Bender was her assistant. Margaret Bearl was in the children's book department and Alice Manski was among the encyclopedias locking for an assignment to give her junior English students. I walked on to the third floor and there I met Marion Robinson giving a lecture on clothes and using Catherine Wukits as her model. Since Catherine could not be without Mary Marlovits, Mary was making the dresses that Catherine was misdeling. As the lecture came to an end, I again made my way to the street and prepared to view some more New York sights. As I was jostling through the crowd on Fifth Avenue, a voice cried out, And where do you think you're going? The voice sounded so familiar I turned around and saw the blue uniform and smiling face of Donald Russell. Donald was so taken aback at seeing me that he didn't know what to do. But he soon came to and we started chatting. He informed me that just a block down, I would find Robert Wellinger working at Tiffany's Jewelry Store and two blocks down I would hear Norman Lang's violin as he played for the concert goers and still further down, I would find Robert Eichler, that patriotic American, arguing with a Communist soapfbox speaker. Well, I thanked Donald, and hurried down the street. As I was about to enter Tiifany's, a man with grayfblack hair and a serious face was coming out. Page Twenty-six

Dancing to the music of Paul Pierce the many guests enjoyed this celebration sponsored by the Senior Class. NICKEL DANCES Jitterbugs were in their glmo-ry as the school's P.A. system floated the sweet and swing recorded music of favorite dance bands around the gym, at the popular nickel dances during noon hour and after school. There the doggie was much in evidence, and caused our gay young blades to whirl and twirl with the alacrity of professional jugglers. Page Twenty-eight
