SONG OF THE DIET KITCHEN Parsley, parsley, everywhere. On my daily bill of fare. See that kippered herring staring At the silly sprig he ' s wearing. Be it steak or creamed potatoes, Oyster plant or grilled tomatoes. Squash or scrambled eggs or squab, Each must wear its little wad. Each must huddle underneath Its accursed parsley wreath. Parsley, parsley, everywhere, Darnl I want my victuals bare. 41

CLASS PROPHECY While doing her bi-annual house cleaning in the spring of 1945, nee Berta Whitaker thumbed through letters received from Chippy O ' Neill concerning members of the Class of ' 39 at Philadelphia Osteopathic Hospital. Sitting in the attic of her twenty-room farm house amid the alfalfa fields of Ohio, her ever present chuckle was resounded at the following ex- ceTpts of said letters; Dear Whit: ec. 15, 1939. So your brother took the leap? Listen to this — Crumble is the first of our class to travel up that long, long aisle and is the perfect specimen of happiness in the role of a doctor ' s wife. Hurriedly yours, CHIPPY. Oh Whitl 22, 1940. Poor Elmer is still being embarrassed to tears by the antics of the undergraduates in her Operating Room at the Rhode Island Osteopathic Hospital. Of course you have heard of our little Kinsel ' s engage- ment. To be expected, I know, but I certainly hate to see her snatched from us. He had better take good care of her, or, to quote you, my good friend, We shall beat a lung out of him! Really, Whit, you must come and see the newest of the calves at Chippendale Farm. The letters on the bridge still read ' Trenton Makes — The World Takes, but we expect to hove them changed to Chippendale Makes — The World Takes. Until later, CHIPPY. Dear Whit: ov. 4. 1940. You ' ll never guess who was just here to see me. Our old Volkie and her husband. They ' re practically neighbors of mine — living in Burlington. They own a grocery store and have been happily married since June. I had a letter from Dickie last week, and she is starting her second year at Johns Hopkins. She has been doing a lot of flying lately with that aeronautical engineer to whom she is engaged. Must go collect the eggs now. Yours, CHIPPY. Dear Whit: February 6, 1941. Thanks so much for your letter. I ' m glad to know that Rogers is back at Oshkosh State Teacher ' s College. I knew it just had to be that she ' d become a D.O. ' s wife — and his name is Charliel I ' ll send her congratulations when the en- gagement is officially announced. 42
