Text from Pages 1 - 100 of the 1945 volume:

COPYRIGHTED by RITA MASTERSON, • Editor in-Chief FRANCES EARLE, - Business Manager PORT ALLEGANY HIGH SCHOOL TIGER LILY 1945 Published by THE SENIOR CLASS of Port Allegany High School Pennsylvania Three THEME Perhaps music seems a strange and unsuitable theme in this day of chaos and industrialization. Our choice of it does not prove that we are escapists, nor does it mean that our class is avoiding the issue of the moment. It is, rather, our prediction of the future and our intense desire to record those of our happy moments in P. A. H. S. which have given our time here such a pleasing melody. It is a melody that will ring in our ears always. The war is something that is ever present—we need no reminder. We do need a reminder that there are left to us the lovely things in life. Thus—our Swan Song. DEDICATION MRS. RUTH RODERICK To Mv« Roderick, our attractive and capable band leader and music instructor, who so courageously carried on her husband’s duties together with her own activities, we the graduating class of 1945 dedicate our TIGER LILY in appreciation of her untiring efforts and outstanding personality.

Dear Seniors: We wish to offer our congratulations on the successful completion of your secondary school education, and we trust you will always remember that we ever ready to aid you in any manner whatever if the occasion should arrive. The need in the post-war period for trained young people will be very great. You have completed the first step in your training, and you should grasp every opportunity that presents itself for further training so that you may be prepared to take your place in our national life and contribute something of value to the post-war world. There is something for each of you to do, and should you fail it will be left undone. Our wishes go with you, and may you succeed in every good thing you undertake. Sincerely, FRED N.

This well-liked lad had personality to go with his good sportsmanship and character. All this composed Herb who learned to die courageously mostly before he learned to live. Although Herb is not here with us physically any longer, he will always remain spiritually in our minds. Yes, indeed, we do think frequently of the Captain of the Basketball Team, a football star, vice-president of our class as sophomores, a leading fellow in many of the organizations to which he belonged, and a frequent figure among the senior boys with whom he traveled. Being a handsome athlete, Junior won many of the girls’ hearts equally as well as he did those of the opposite sex. All of those points lead us to give a portion of our Tiger Lily to (you guessed it) Hugh Abbey. Unlike the former boys whom I have mentioned, Bernard Parish was not active in sports. This boy is a fine example to prove to everybody that a boy does not have to be a football hero or basketball star to be popular, if personality and character are present within an individual. “Bud was the keeper of the class coins last year and we have ample reason to say that he was one of the most popular and well-liked boys in the Class of 1945. “Anchors Aweigh, My Boys”, is pertaining of course to Albert Hobbs and Jack Ilaspcr, the two remaining patriotics in uniform of our group. Although these lads did not particularly care for high school, they made excellent servers of Uncle Sam. Those fellows profited by their motto “Speech is silver, silence is golden”, and they have a very honored place in the hearts of their classmates. Keep up your good work, fellows, and before long instead of us writing about you, you’ll be autographing our “Tiger Lily”. Twenty-three CLASS HISTORY During our three years in the Senior High School our country has been at war. Despite this handicap we feel that we have achieved a great deal in our high school career and regardless of the war we have pleasant pictures that will always have an important place in our memories. Since our Sophomore year, we have given eleven boys to Uncle Sam, a fact for which we are justly proud. As Sophomores we displayed very good sportsmanship under the mighty hands of the Seniors. Steven Romanio was unaminously elected as our class president. As our chapel programs progressed it was discoverd that the baby class really had some very outstanding talent. Keeping up the usual sophomore routine we gave the Seniors a reception which helped show our gratitude to them. Unlike other sophomore classes, many of us purchased the new class rings. In the Junior year as in our previous year, there were many new teachers with which to get acquainted. At our first class meeting we elected Dale Jewart as class president and Paul Wylie was chosen to represent our class on the Student Activity Council, in place of Herb Dolaway who left us to serve in the armed forces. The top interest of this year was the Prom to which the seniors were cordially welcomed to the best of our ability. We felt badly seeing them leave us, but it was a nice feeling to be taking their distinguished places. Dale Jewart was chosen for the honorary position of president for a second term. The Magazine Campaign was successfully carried on and many seniors received the Curtis Certificate. Just as the Hop highlighted our activities of the sophomore year, the “Prom” in our junior class, the “Tiger Lily” marked our ability as seniors. We have tried very hard to make all three of those a success and it is our hope that we have done so. We successfully produced “Through the Keyhole” in December for the entertainment of the public. The football banquet was indeed a banquet for champions and it was surely super. It proved that we were tops in football as well as being superiors when six of our classmates received gold footballs. At the Sophomore Hop we were cordially honored and the junior, proved to be marvelous receptionists. Class Night proved to be fun and the Baccalaureate exercises were both interesting and instructive. As the Commencement exercises draw to a close we look backward and we wish to take this opportunity to thank Mr. Hardy and the faculty for their unlimited efforts and understanding and we hope that in the years to come we will be able to make the best of our education. Before we close, we wish especially to thank Miss Doolin who showed such great interest in us in our senior year at the times when we most needed it.

We. the Class of 1945, wish to thank Mr. Hardy and all other faculty members for the great understanding, advice, and help they have given us through these high school days in which we have been preparing to meet the trials in the world of tomorrow. LEOLA HARDES JACK DOUVLOS RITA MASTERSON Lucielle Nelson wills her flirtatious manner to Millie Mantz who has a pretty good start already. Jack Douvlos wills everything but Robert Hamilton. Lois Anderson with misgivings, wills her title Teacher’s Darling”, to Bob Merritt to keep unbroken as she has done. Philip Causer leaves Port High with a smile, he’s going to serve Uncle Sam. Joyce Kio wills her typing speed to Fred Anderson. He needs it, I’m sure. Kenneth Brown leaves his smallness to Ward Wood and I'm sure he could use it. Mary Ellen McLaughlin wills her club treasurer’s books to Helen Smith to straighten out if possible. Charles Crowley leaves to become a woman lover. I’m sure most of the girls will want to see you in a year, Charley. Frannie Earle wills her strength to Brownie Masterson, who really isn’t too weak now. Ronald Dunn leaves his women to McCloskey. Marion Benson leaves her good nature and intelligence to Donna Larson who will need them to keep going when Dale leaves. Claude Klein wills his “pet” expressions—there are about fifty of them—to Florence Johnson who could make good use of them. Jane McGonnell leaves those hiccups that she gets on purpose, we sometimes think, to Evelyn Acre so that she can bother Miss Snyder, too. Steven Romanio wills his musical ability, which really is something wonderful, to Ruth Mattison. She has a good start already, although a good bit of it sounds like Jazz. Clara Kaziska leaves her leadership in cheerleading to Joyce Babola. Come on, Joyce you’ll have to holler louder to surpass Clara's yell. Ted Larson leaves those neat clothes and Marilyn to anyone who’s lucky. Could it be Virgil Strang? We'll be waiting to see. Marjorie McAlpine wills her loving nature and faithfulness to Marjorie Ford, who really could make good use of them. Pearl Burton leaves still chasing after some nice-looking sailor. We wonder who will be next? Bill Burgart wills his big feet to Carlton Larson. We wonder what he would do if he had them. Twenty-seven LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT Bette Johnson leaves all her nice-looking boyfriends to Dot Hughes, who really can handle them. June Blackman wills her thinness to Betty Tubbs. We wonder how Betty would look then. Elton Carlson wills his freckles to Jane Romanio. I wonder how she would look with them? Don’t we all? Violet Kelley wills her quietness to Louise Klein who really would shock everybody if she kept still two minutes. Dot Bowers leaves bound for Eldred as usual and we know she’ll have loads of fun. Joel Cooper leaves his teachers with a few gray hairs and a wrinkle or two. If they had any before, they covered them up good. Patricia Babola wills her giggles to Esther Manning. They would sound O. K. coming from her too. Estelle Springstead leaves hoping to see Joe soon. Watch out, Estelle, there’s the Justice of the Peace just around the corner. Bob Dalrymple wills his vocabulary to anyone who needs it and that includes most of us. We wonder if our teachers don’t agree. Myra Bailey leaves Mina behind to pester the teachers in a way known only to them. Betty McElwee wills her shortness to Barbara Boyd who might make good use of it. Dale Jewart abdicates his presidency to-------------------------? Virginia Cherrington goes out with the same smile she came in with. Nice going, Virginia. Iva Glase bequeaths her sophistication to Onalee McDivitt. Bill Grigsby wills his mouth organ to Shelley Leola Hardes leaves an empty seat for someone next year. There are lots of them, so take your pick. Thelma Howard wills her flashy eyes to Nancy Cray. We wonder if Nancy really needs them. Jack Lane leaves his ability to think up excuses fast to Herb Burr. Don’t you need it? Gloria Kaziska wills her vim and vitality to Helen Smith who might need it since she has so far to walk. Doris Puhl wills her basketball ability to Peggy Rumsey. Jimmy Saiers bequeaths his scientific mind to Harry Robbins. We wonder if his mind runs in those lines. Jean Knapp leaves her Buick with a smile on her face. We’d like to know where she’s going. Henry Spencer leaves Drusilla to the mercy of the Port High wolves. Hewitt Wiley wills those fast passes to Jerry Rumsey. Do you think you can handle them, Jerry? Paul Wylie bequeaths his artistic nature to Lydia Zlobec, whose ability to draw is a bit doubtful. Bob Hamilton wills his renowned basketball fame and prestige to Minnow Case who has an excellent start already. Rita Masterson bequeaths that title “Everybody’s Pal” to anyone lucky enough to get it.

Forget-Me-Not Thirty-four CLASS HISTORY High School at last... well - perhaps... we were green at first, with initiation and all, but that is a common fault of all sophomores . . . Today we held our first class meeting with Brown elected as president. Looks like another of these third term affairs. Then our first sophomore play. We certainly startled the Assembly with our distinguished orchestra. This year we lost a member of our class, Kathleen Bloomquist, whom we all miss, but also added another, that little lad, Charles Saylor. Some of our members excelled in basketball and football, and though report cards remain a trouble, we still have no reason for complaint. We have done our best in all tasks assumed by us and resolve to make our entire high school career as outstanding as this in classes, music, and athletics. Our Sophomore Hop was a complete success and now that we have lost our former greenish hue, we become the future good natured and studious juniors. But before we depart we pause to say: Now bless you, future Sophomore Let nothing you dismay For some of us did look like you When first we came this way. Romanio, M. M nt: Ilowanl.

Miss Doolin The purpose of the Press Club, under the direction of Miss Doolin, is to edit the “High School Bugle.” The Club meets every other Monday, and at each meeting a different member has charge of assigning the topics. Although considerably smaller in number than formerly, the members make up for it by being twice as cooperative. Some of the new and interesting features are an Advice to the Lovelorn column, with advice given by Sharon Hart, and a section which publishes excerpts from student themes. Since so many former students are now in the armed forces, there is a “Servicemen’s Column”, which tries to keep them in touch with the school and each other. For a project the Club is sponsoring a Port High Cook Book, consisting of the favorite recipes of the mothers of Port High students. The annual Saint Patrick’s Day banquet, held March 17, helped to climax a successful year. Tubbs, Smith. Miss Doolin. Bergholtz, Anderson. Y. Masters n, Kaziska, Bailey, Hardcs Boyd, Dalrymplc, R.

Mr. Hardv The Activity Council is composed of students from each of the high school classes. This council has charge of all financial matters concerning the classes and other school organizations. The Senior Class is represented by Frances Earle, Paul Wylie, and Steven Romanio; the Junior Class by Marjorie Ford and John Case; and the Sophomore Class by Marilyn Engblom and Robert Brown. Because of student interest in extra social activity, the Council sponsored biweekly dances which were held on Saturday evenings. War stamps and bonds were sold to the students and faculty each week through the Council. Forty LIBRARY CLUB President ............... Vice President .......... Secretary................

Myra Bailey Miss McFarland In the year of 1944-45, the Library Club has been exceedingly active with nine members attending the bi-monthly meetings. One person was appointed each time to conduct the entertainment which consisted of games, discussions, library work, and giving a book review of some recent best seller. The Club purchased subscription to the magazine “Seventeen” for one year. We planned a new bulletin board each month, displaying covers of new books of interest to the average high school student. The crowning event was the gala affair for the new members and their guests held in the early spring. A lovely time was enjoyed by all. Miss McFarland, the new advisor, instructed the members in the use of the Dewey Decimal System, the care of the book shelves, and the filing system.

Every Thursday afternoon and on Monday night at seven o’clock the members diligently practiced to make the band play as sweetly as possible. We purchased many new numbers, some of which were popular and others classical. A large group of students was chosen to represent Port High in the County Band. Another very important work of the band was to play marches on Friday before and after chapel. The group also took part in the amateur shows of the year, all of which proved the band was a huge success.

We met twice a month under the supervision of Miss Snyder. The principal activities of the club were to make tickets and placement cards for the Football Banquet, programs for plays, letters to the Alumni and former students, and we also did many other things. We worked hard on our “Cupid’s Ball,” which was sponsored in February and received many compliments on our advertising. The Ball was a great success and we were thus well rewarded for all our hard work. We had two candy sales and a dance at which we all thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Part of the work of the Club was doing secretarial work for the various teachers in order to help the members develop their knowledge of routine in business. A course in office practice was given in the last semester to aid the students in obtaining positions in the business world. The Club is enjoying its activities and is planning to add another picture to the one bought last year for the Commercial room. Forty-four BIOLOGY CLUB President................

Robert Wylie ......John Case Mr. Bates The Club started out this year minus our president-elect, Bernard Parish, who had enlisted in the Navy during the summer. Although he was missed, the Club has made excellent progress and it still remains one of the best and most popular in the school. Again this year, as in previous years, several groups were formed consisting wholly of members of the Club. The most active of these groups were the photography, hiking, and rifle groups. This is the first year for some time that the rifle group has been able to function due to the ammunition shortage. The service flag, which has been a Club project for three years, now has one hundred and twenty nine blue stars and five gold stars. We all respect immensely the high percentage of former members now in the service and sincerely hope that the number of gold stars on the flag will not increase. Naturally, the social events were not neglected this year, and several parties as well as hikes were held. I . Wylie, Dunn, Pouvlos, T.

Club is to increase the knowledge of Roman and Greek life so that we might have a better understanding of classical backgrounds, language and customs. The members decided to join the Junior Classical League and all received tiny silver charms. These charms show the torch of ancient learning surrounded by the olive branch. In view of the world’s present chaotic state the Club prepared an Honor Roll for the past members who are in the service. The social year opened with the usual initiation party which was held in October at the gymnasium. The annual Saturnalia was celebrated in the gymnasium on Decem-berber 19. Santa Claus himself was present to deliver the gifts to the club members. A dinner dance held at the Canoe Place Inn concluded the year’s activities.

Lucielle Nelson Vice President...........................................Doris Puhl Secretary...............................................Lois Anderson Treasurer......................................Mary Ellen McLaughlin Adviser..........................................................Miss Varcoe The Tri-Hi-Y Club began this year with a club composed of approximately twenty members. The years activities started with a candle light induction service, followed by the initiation of the new members, held early in October at the High School Auditorium. Throughout the year the girls undertook several projects, the first of these being baskets at Thanksgiving for the needy. These baskets were planned and filled by the members and distributed by Miss Hancock, our school nurse. Our Christmas party was held at the home of Lucielle Nelson on December 21. From Christmas until the close of school, the girls did Red Cross work during the club period. On February 21, we had our usual winter party, namely a skiing party held on Old Baldy.’’ In April, we had our annual Mother-Daughter Banquet which was the final event in our club doings for this year. Our Club’s main thought as we go through the year is to create, maintain and extend throughout the school and community, high standards of Christian character, and we live up to this to the best of our ability.

There are now eighty-five boys who have studied vocational agriculture at the Port Allegany High School in the armed forces and they are stationed in all parts of the world. The greatest contribution the agriculture boys have made during the year to the community and to the war effort was to boost and aid farmers to repair farm machinery so they can keep producing food without buying new implements which are not for sale. Forty-eight VARSITY P” CLUB OFFICERS Treasurer ............................................... Ted Larson President ............................................... Paul Wylie Secretary .......................................... Robert Dairymple This Club was started last year and has proven its success to the school. The purpose of the club is to promote further interest in interscholastic sports among the members of the student body. The club was called to order during the football season and we decided to sponsor the basketball schedule. To be eligible for membership in the club, a student must earn a varsity letter in an interscholastic sport. If elected to membership, he is then initiated into the club. It was through the efforts of the hard working members and the faithful backers of the team, that the seniors and the people who were completing their last year of interscholastic sports, received the miniature gold football awards. Similiar awards went to the basketball team members. This year the club plans to purchase a movie camera. The purpose of this camera is to take pictures of football and basketball games, and then to determine the mistakes by watching the films. The club sponsored a dance with the idea of raising money to pay for the movie camera. The dance proved very successful and the club will purchase the camera later on. The charter members who are in the service of their country are: Hugh Abbey, Herb Doloway, Don Cooper. Bill Farrell. Bill Haglund, Pete Keith, and Andy Olson. The members who received the miniature gold football awards of 1944 are: Fred Anderson, Bill Burgart. Ronnie Dunn, Ted Larson, Hewitt Wiley, Paul Wylie, and Bob Dalrymple, Manager. The members of the 1945 basketball team who received miniature gold basketballs are: Bill Burgart. Ronnie Dunn, Bob Hamilton, Jack Lane, Sonny Wiley, Bob Dalrymple, Manager, and Hugh Abbey who is honorary captain and is in the service of his country. There are two members of the club who gave their lives for their country — Bill Haglund and Herb Doloway will long be remembered by their teammates. Mr. Poole, Anderson, Culver, C:i e. R.

James Lovell FOOTBALL REVIEW In late August approximately thirty-five men reported for first training practice to Mr. Poole, starting his second year at Port. The Gators squatted on the pigskin and hatched out five wins, one loss, and one tie. The first game with Otto Township was on September 23. Although the team lost 6-0, many of the fledgelings developed their wings. Later it was found that the officials made an error at the beginning of the game and they penalized Port. This voided the score which had been made when one of our players crossed the goal line. Fifty-two The following week, on September 30, we played Coudersport on our home field. It was a rousing 26-12 victory for the Gators. In several well-planned plays, we demonstrated our offensive power. The twelve points for the Falcons indicated that our defense work was not quite up to par. It was a problem to be ironed out the following week. On October 7 a heavy and confident Emporium team was battled to a 0-0 deadlock. To a certain extent it was almost a moral victory for the Gators since Emporium has a larger student body. The practice on defensive work showed results against the Emporium team. The 6-0 defeat in the first game of the season was wiped out on October 14 when the Otto Terrors met defeat here 13-6. The score would have been much greater for Port if it hadn’t been for three touchdowns that were called back due to penalties and rules. Many penalties were given out for both sides, but the speed of the Gator back-field, ably supported by a stout forward wall carried onward to victory. The highlight of the season was reached on October 28 when Port traveled to the Potter County seat and defeated Coudersport 26-6. The team felt very badly and regretful that Coudersport managed to get six points. For a time Coudersport held off the inevitable, but as the slanting rays of the sun indicated that the game was nearing the half, we unleashed reserve energy and demonstrated to the spectators that track meets could be held in October. This particular game will go down in the history of the two schools as Port’s answer to their defeat by Coudy on our home field in October 1943. On October 31 the highways and byways were thronged by Gator fans hurrying to witness the first game of the season with Smethport. Mr. Hardy earlier in the day had announced over the loud speaker that school would close early enough to permit students to go to the game. From available reports the total yardage run up by Port was enough to get them back to Port Allegany without using the bus. The final game of the season, a somewhat routine affair, was held November 4. Port met and defeated Smethport again on the rolling land we call Indian Echo Farm. Some Smethport way claimed that Port put on the roller skates and coasted down the hillocks to run up a score of 32-0. We are conscious of the fact that we have omitted a few choice football expressions such as the Orange and Black”, and a traditional water-soaked battle ground”. Those of our loyal fans, however, will remember that several pontoons would have been better than football cleats. In retrospect, the season was a success. A total of 136 points was rolled up for Port against 30 for our opponents. Although the season was lengthened by one game, do not forget that the Emporium game was deadlocked 0-0. The defeat of many of our ancient rivals may well be the opening of a new chapter in our football history. Shall we leave it at this—a challange to our Seniors and underclassmen in the years to come Fifty-three BASKETBALL Mi .

Shinglehouse defeated us over there by a score of 30-29, and Smethport defeated us here 23-22. In both games excellnt team work was displayed by the Port cagers. The jinx was broken on January 5 when we defeated Mt. Jewett 28-26. This was the first time in many years that the Port Gators trimmed the Magicians. On January 12 we really went to town by defeating the Eldred team 34-19. On January 16 Ulysses came here. We won the game by the narrow margin of a point, 30-29. The Potato Diggers put up a surprisingly good fight. January 19 found us in Coudersport where we rolled up the high score of 33 to their 18. A future championship Otto Township team came here on January 25 and shellacked us to the tune of 43-21. February 2 saw a confident Shinglehouse team meet defeat here 22-19. Returning to Ulysses February 9, we dropped the game 32-27. Some people blamed it on the team, others on the fact that our center was disabled, and still others maintained that it was the condition of the roads. On February 16, we met Smethport (over there). Shortly after the game started we wished we were (over here). The roads being in excellent condition, we admit defeat by a better team, 43-20. The Mt. Jewett Magicians enticed us to their lonely bailiwick on the mountain on February 23. There they pulled a rabbit out of the hat to defeat us 40-23. Coudersport having read our football write-up on the preceding page, riled up and surprised every one on February 26, by giving us the short end of a 26-36 score. It is with hesitation that I record this next epic game in our basketball history. However, being a fair and impartial historian, we note in passing “very rapidly please”, that Otto Township beat us February 28 by a score of 50-24. The final game of the season was played here against Eldred on March 5. It was a great game but we lost 22-23 n the final seconds of play. Let us observe here that Port Alleganians no longer tarry in Eldred on their way to Olean. Although our basketball season was not as successful nor as easy to record as the football season, I feel sure that everyone joins me in saying, “Well done, good and faithful servants.” Fifty-five GIRLS’ HOCKEY Mrs. Donohue, Coach, Earlq.

Frances Earle Jean Knapp Juniors ......................................... Nancy Cray Joyce Babola Sophomores .................................... Aldean Rittburg Nan Scherer This year was one of our best for hockey. The weather was good until way into November, thus giving us sufficient time to play off all the games. Each class supported two teams which offered strong competition for Frances Earle’s fine winning team. The class teams played in class periods to determine the winners and after each class had their winning teams, games between these were played Friday nights after school. All in all, we had a very successful year of hockey. Fifty-six GIRLS’ VARSITY BASKETBALL The Girl’s Varsity Basketball team, under the direction of Coach Donohue, had a fairly successful season. Even if we didn’t win so many games we had lots of fun in practice at the games, and we learned the meaning of good all-around sportsmanship. We had at least one or two good practices a week and during each practice, through our cooperation and Mrs. Donohue’s patient ways, we learned our new plays and learned to work together. We also played the Port girl’s alumni team twice, giving us one victory and one loss. -J |( The game schedule was as follows: January 12 There Port Allegany 7 Eldred 28 January 26 Here Port Allegany 18 Otto 17 February 16 There Port Allegany 13 Smethport 14 March 5 Here Port Allegany 7 Eldred 25 March 16 There Port Allegany 8 Otto 20 Fifty-seven Mrs. Donohue, Coach, Romanic.

Every Other Thursday BOB HAMILTON COMPLAINS ABOUT “RAILROAD FOOD” For seventeen years I have been eating my mother’s home-cooked meals, and I didn’t know when I was well off. During the last month I have tasted some of the food the outside world has to offer. Each week-end a group of us boys travel to Buffalo or Olean to work on the rail-road. The railroad gives us transportation free, and also feeds us (or so they call it). The week before I went, a group of local boys worked in Olean, and also ate there. They were taken to the City Lunch and told to order what they wanted. The boys, seeing an opportunity too good to miss, bought the most expensive thing the house had to offer. They chose T-bone steak. They felt very smart and thought they were putting something over on the railroad. That was their opinion before it came. After a while the waiter brought it in. He could have saved himself a lot of trouble by just letting the cow walk in itself and everyone biting off a chunk. It was the rawest, toughest beef they had ever tasted.

But it’s not sung, it’s whistled. We don’t know if it’s the same song all the time because the musician isn’t very tuneful. (Goober?) The perfect picture of relaxation is said person plodding down the hall, hands in pockets, blank look on his face. The perfect picture of distraction is watching the teachers face while all these musical works are going on. Of course the students don’t mind! All this shouldn’t be blamed on boys, because I’m quite a whistler myself. Just as untuneful as this mysterious person who does the “dirty work’’ in the hall. I agree it’s fun to whistle but there’s a time and place for everything. I don’t mind it (whistling) myself but this is a teacher’s idea. That’s about all there is to say on this subject except to explain how it’s done and I really don’t know myself, even if I can do it after a fashion. BUGLE Price.

Sixty-Five TEN YEARS IN THE FUTURE It is now 1955 and I am just l°oking around to see what the classmates of “45” are doing. I find myself at Crystal Beach and everyone around is seemingly having a wonderful time. Both the midgets are. Thelma Howard is the queen of a sideshow and she really does flash those eyes. There goes Betty Johnson chasing some tall, dark, and handsome fellow, but I’ll bet when she catches him she won’t really went him. I hear that she is in the modeling business now. Kenneth Brown and Claude Klein are trying to outdo each other in telling about his latest plans for new airplanes. The argument is really fast and furious. Patricia Babola is at the skating rink and is really doing some fancy skating. She looks beautiful and no wonder—she runs a beauty shop. There comes Pearl Burton followed by two sailors. She is in her glory. Her beauty shop is a great success too. What jazz! That music is really great and there goes Bill Burgart. the “Jitterbug King’’ and he is really going to town. Rita Masterson is the cute girl dancing with that handsome guy and I hear that she is a successful editor of a famous magazine, ‘“The Sap.” There goes Clara Kaziska talking with Myra Bailey who is head soda jerk at Pfeil’s and Clara June head waitress in a big hotel in New York, both watching for the right guy. There stand Dorothy Bowers. Jean Knapp. Mary Ellen McLaughlin, and Violet Kelley, all talking about their beauty shops. They all seem happy so I guess everything must be O. K. Marion Benson, now a teacher, Joyce Kio, a typist in a large concern, and Lois Anderson, who is a private secretary, are all talking together. I understand that Lois sits on her bosses’ knee most of the time. My goodness! What’s that awful racket? It’s a whole group and they are singing “Oh, I wish I were Single Again!” I can see Marjorie and Elmer Hawver. Betty and Bob Carah. Ronald Dunn—he won’t tell his wife’s name—June and Gordon Strang. Iva and Jerome Jackson, Donna and Dale Jewart, Lucille and Bob Stromberg, Drusilla and Henry Spencer, and Estelle and Joe Hilliard. I never heard such a noise. I wonder if they really mean it? Virginia is making quite a success out of sewing clothes and just to prove it, Doris Puhl has a beautiful suit on that she made. Doris is Zwald’s head assistant now, I understand. There stands Fannie Earle arguing with Ted Larson about the fact that her horses are just as good and almost as fast as his old car on the race track. I hear that he has broken the world’s record in racing in that jalopy. What is Elton Carlson arguing so loud about? Oh! I get it. Philip Causer, Bill Grigsby, and Charles Crowley are trying to talk him into coming down on the price of feed but he refuses. I guess his dad taught him well. There stands Joel Cooper taking some pictures of that great lady killer, namely Jack Lane. Boy! I’m afraid to go near that group ahead because they are all famous.

If it isn’t Jane McGonnell with her sugar daddy and she is introducing him to Hewitt Wiley who now daringly tests out all the new planes. Whoops! There she goes hiccuping again, so I guess I’ll scream. Oh! My Goodness! I’ll have to grab Gloria Kaziska and rush Bob Hamilton and Jack Douvlos to the hospital. They both have a bad brain disease so they tell me and if they aren’t fooling like they did once before. Gloria and I, Leola Hardes will be very busy trying to nurse them back to health.
