Tho Helen's erstwhile ambition, wasn't this we know, Mullady's what packs 'em in at lreland's Travel Bureau. Regina Feeney's pep and vim are leading her to success Since the glowing days of '40, she's been an airline stewardess. Bob Serra's institution of terpsichorean glee, Prompts ol-timers of '40 to say, Arthur Murray-who's he? ls Dr, Franklin more pleasing to look at than that old maid of a nurse? Of Naomi, the unanimous cry-of the internes-is, but yes-but of course. We may have a second Cunningham, or maybe a Gene Venzke, But when a cloud of dust you see, it must be Paul De Celie. One of our number has risen to literary fame, Percy's her well-known prodigy-Marie Sutera's her name. The psychiatry's Fred Teahan's profession, work holds on him no bond Except of course if his assistant 'happened' to be a gorgeous blond! lf Bob Fisher in Goya's age did live, New York girls 'd be sorry, But as artistry from a professional view, he gives that old boy some worry. Altho Rembrandt was a genius, he lacked that certain touch, That La Sutera furnishes to brighten art so much! Doris Kirchner is pulling a Garbo , she's got us all up a tree, For all we know is she comes and goes-the rest is a mystery. ln the way of Cavell and Nightingale one now is collecting fame By fighting all of mankind's ills, Ethel Fuller is her name. Levy's scooped us again, cry even great reporters, Why not work like Jack, reply the retorters! Calories! Calories! Calories! so many every day, Evelyn Cohen's counting them and getting a dietitian's pay. A famous surgeon of our day, who likes his job we know Is that sincere and congenial chap-Dr. Gerald Arpino. Miss McNiece has become a secretary, grand, In many firms and offices her service is a demand. We knew as a chemist Rose Perelka'd burst forth and fame she now has won With a lipstick that really won't come off, when excessive kiss- ing's done. Carl Steurnagel is flying high, He guides his plane thru the azure sky. Vincent Geary now resumes his capers When he sketches for the funny papers. Alfred Roberts makes no pun, Because he's sports editor of the Evening Sun. Annamarie Dreyer now gets rid of pests When, in her lab, she makes her tests. To serve mankind is an honor BN 1vA. To be bestowed upon Nurse Ruth Connor. Only God can make a tree To be preserved by Tom Smillie.
