n e CLAff PCCPHECy Dear Diary, June 20, 1956 Left New York this P. M. at 2 o'clock on the new passenger rocket ship piloted by our friend, the bass horn tooting Thomas, who tootles the ship into Quincy at 2:30 P. M. Dear Diary, June 21, 1956 Went to the Quincy Rose Bowl football game between the Quincy Up and At 'Em team and the Sandford Indians. The team was being cheered hilariously by the athletic cheer leader, Pete Mclnturff, while Ralph Rogers, the all-Quincy quarterback, carried the pigskin to a 68 to 0 victory. Just returned from the new musical dancing comedy hit Throw About featuring the graceful adagio dancing team of Ginger Beard and Dean Atkinson, the latter unfortunately spraining his ankle during their famed Spring Dance Sequence. Dear Diary, June 22, 1956 Had a pleasant surprise this morning. Arose at 6 A. M. for a brisk before breakfast stroll. Upon crossing a meadow out of the city I was startled by the appearance of a capering gazelle-like figure dancing across the meadow with a wisp of a net. Upon approaching I was surprised to find this early morning butterfly chaser the studious scholar of our school days—Dan Baldwin. Dear Diary, June 23, 1956 I spent a very eventful day. Upon passing a busy intersection I saw a familiar face. It was Mary Hall who had become a great orator. She advocated for bigger, better, longer, and more leap years. I was also surprised to find in the lobby, Fay Mclnturff illustrating the ultra-modern method of chewing the latest Wigley creation, Shadow Reducing Gum.

cu r ppcpuccy Dear Diary, June 24, 1956 I feel very fired this evening, as I was awakened at 4 A. M. by the bedlam of shrieking sirens of the riot squad. Jumping into my rocket knockabout, we arrived in the beautiful suburb of Quincy that I remembered as Keddie. Before a palatial residence I was amazed to find Wren Seeber emerging from the doorway amidst a deluge of pottery which were wafted by his irate but comely titian-haired wife. Dear Diary, June 25, 1956 Another local boy makes good! Read in the daily monarch, the Feather River Bulletin, of the success of Elwood Ford, who has discovered the long sought formula for the prevention of fallen arches. Also read an item about the heartrending plight of Winnifred Schooler who due to laryngitis will be unable to attend the weekly meeting of the soft-spoken voice culture class. Dear Diary, June 26, 1956 Enjoyed a wonderful repast at the Eat-more Grill on Park Avenue, enthusiastically owned by our own lissome svelte figured Lauretta Harding. Wound up my meandering in the old home town by visiting the Quincy School of Chiropody . I was delighted to renew the acquaintance of Marcelle Toohig, who lectures and demonstrates the art of keeping the feet beautiful. Dear Diary, June 27, 1956 Am back in New York. While returning home on the rocket I was very glad to find Louis Thomas, the only member of the class of 36 I missed in Quincy. Louis was laboriously drawing his daily cartoon adventures of Moon Eyed Annie. 93 6
