HHS3 HHPHHIY It's 1962, but memories linger and familiar things bring them back so easily. I was drink- ing milk, and I thought how it glistened in our milk cans twenty years ago. I wonder if the other fellows remember. Why not look them up? I tried to phone Who'r Wlzo, but a grulf voice broke in, Wotcha want? Red Witmer- a telephone lines- man, no less! When I told him I was hunting up the Class of '42, he said, Call jack Eckert, president of the Alumni Association. In a moment jack's familiar twang greeted my ears. Where is everybody? I asked. We certainly have a scattered Hock, he started off. Collier's Chief Royal British Interpreter, George Brown is Chiang Kai- Shek's private secretary, Forty and Saksek are Marines in Panama, along with Perry, Lieut. Lawder is on the U.S.S. Pennsylvania, guarding our newly acquired territory ofjapang Capt. Reinoehl and Sgts. Flowers and Bolden are stationed in the Philippines, and Pursch runs a Iooo-acre farm in Alaska. George Russ, Jack went on, succeeded Senator Guffey, and Hartman and Whetstone are about to discover the universal solvent at Du Pont's. But say, I don't know them all myself. Suppose you hunt some up, and tell me. So long.', Now where to look? I idly turned on the radio and involuntarily started to ta my foot, not realizing that it was the music oftiie Double Downbeats, Pike and Faranow. I'll run over to the Carson twins' U-Slug-Em Gym. Per- haps Commentator Charley Maxwell can tell me more on his Fiddlin' 'Round Phillie pro- gram. That can wait, though, I thought, as I picked up the paper. There, staring me in the face was a headline- Detective ChiefBailey Captures Thug Gang. Say, this is a fine source of information! On the Sports Page I find Herb Wignall named as most valuable professional player of the last decade, and Dick Martin as top coach. The movie and radio page? Sure! The Tom Allen-Bob Brown Sunday-night feud is still raging, and Blair Neal is the recognized sue-- cessor to Bob Burns. Benedict is Walt Dizzy's ace cameraman, while I-Iendel projects the pro- duced and directed films of Glenn Schaeffer, which, by the way, star Glenn Schaeffer. Under the science section I read that DeWald 1S peacefully discovering the 5th dimension over at L1t1tz University. Say, this is a good newspaper! No wonder. It's published by Keller, with Neeley as lino- type operator. I-Iere's a plug for Bennett's new book, History of a Haplers Homeboy. Some advertisements he carries, too. Here's one about the Lefsyk and Snare Fender-Fixing Shop- We do a Bang-Up Job. Very likely. Whew, it's hot. Think I'll get some air. While walking toward Finnie's Tavern, I suddenly saw Ainsworth and Shultz in their 1942 Cadillac. I yelled, they ground to a stop, and Shultz jumped out, lifted the hood and started to tinker with the motor. Stop, you sap! roared Cliff, nothing's wrong! Sorry, said LeRoy meekly. It's a habit. They say they are Certified Public Account- ants, making just oodles of money. We're going to see Piontkowski, side-show barker at the circus, interjected Cliff, and then we're going to Bill Maxwell's ballroom. Adios! just then a mass of pamphlets dropped from a plane. They read, Wagner's Advertising Co. Our Layouts Will Lay You Out! The plane was stunting. Looks like Mohler, I thought, and immediately he spelled out Y-E-S. Where shall I go now? I can go to Ricker's Department Store, but .jake is probably at Dietrich's public-speaking class. Meredith is an under-water welder. He always did go into things deeply. Rojas runs the Crumbless Cookie Company, and Kane has a Matrimonial Bureau. Maxwell fGeorge this timej sings for Carter's Little Liver Pills. Of course, there are two fellows we all know - the Sluggin' Sidekicksf Piasecki retired as undefeated heavyweight champ, and Squasher Raudenbush is still one of the eight profes- sional wrestling champs. But for genuine happiness, for real, honest satisfaction, let's all visit Maitland Bobst, who is just living peacefully in Shillington with his pretty wife and his ten children.
