Chairman E. Chaffee and W. Regenthal, Membership Chairman R. Leine- weber and J. O'Hearn. At this point there was a tive minute intermission and the public was allowed to view the new building. Many complimentary remarks were over- heard concerning the architectural genius of Steve Worth. At the end of the five minutes, the visitors returned to the assembly room to listen to the Acceptance speeches made by Athletic Directors Cassera and Calucci, Swim- ming lnstructors Schwarz and Walters, Dancing lnstructresses D. Miller, V. Newman, and M. Miller, Arts and Crafts Directors Momberg and Neville, and Business lnstructresses M, Werner, E. Otte, l. Zhelesnick and C. Tucker. After this phase of the meeting, President Kempson wished the officers good luck, thanked them for their hospitality, and left for the station. On the way back past Class l-lall and on their way down Alumni Avenue they went, waving amicably as they passed buildings, one of which was Labor- phobia's own invention, a community store, covering one square block. This enterprise is composed of most of the town's commercial departments. Among them were Betty's Bakery, owned by B. Brown, B. Boblick and l-l. Dygert, Balnicki's Shoe Store , Archer's Salon de Beaute with its able operators, E. Bonnell, C. Boblick, T. Arrowsmith, D. Brown, M. l-lausser, A. Eberle, H. Kolessar and R, Quinn, The Pixie Sport Shop owned and oper- ated by M. Pinnix, Dunn's Dress Shop , and Cron-Connors Wool Shop lknitting instructions free with any purchase of wooll. Having arrived at the station, Mr. Kempson was presented with the l-lonorary Emblem of Commerce, given by a selected group ot the Commer- cial Association including C. Sheehan, V. Stone, A. Orlando, F. Lozowski, A. De Vita, D. Burns, J. Bush, A. Duttweiler, Cu. Perrine, R. Pries, and Ci. Stapp. Amid the roar from the cheering throngs, the locomotive slowly pulled out of the station, and the last impression made by the President upon his loyal classmates was one of most sincere honor and respect towards his advisers. l-le represented the class when he removed his hat and humbly bowed as the train puffed past the homes of the guardian angels of the Class of l938, Miss l-ledley and Mr. Forrest.

CLASS PROPHECY ABORPHOBIA, June 23, l958.-After a lapse of twenty years President Kempson returned, yesterday, to Laborphobia, that model modern little village nestled in the Rockies and composed entirely of the members of the Class of l938. As engineer Weber pulled the locomotive into the station, a group of singers, namely, F. Frey, M. Brooke, M. Timm, C. Speth, E. Brennan, C. Mclntyre, B. Wode, A. Baker, Bob Brown, and J. Meeker, accompanied by the band, W. Johann, R. Hazard, D. Toddings, l. Pukit, H. Robbins, J. Hur- ley, and L. Montgomery, led by W. Gaedcke, blasted out our class song which was interrupted only by the deafening roar of E. Kolisek's explosion, set off by J. Gillikin, and R. Ragland. Porter Mulshine helped the President to the platform. From there, the procession proceeded down Alumni Avenue to Class Hall, where the President was officially welcomed by Mayor George Drake and Councilmen and Councilwomen, R. Flay, R. Ruff, R. Stowbridge, J. Clune, W. Cotter, and M. Belcher. Mr. Naffke, President of the Board of Health, conducted Mr. Kempson on an inspection tour, in which the Pres- ident met many former classmates. The first visit led him to the Vail Dairy Farms, where he encountered Al Sprague, V. Vail's chief driver. Emerging from the barn in the back- ground was farmer Anderson, with a pail of milk in each hand. They then reentered the Shallcross sight-seeing bus, and headed for the town athletic field where a baseball game was in progress. Mocky Garthwaite, President of the Dads' Club, was at the gate taking tickets. Over on the bench was Coach Hanna talking nervously to Assistant Coach Rath. Scattered here and there were newspaper reporters F. Boyne, M. Boulton, J. Knapp, D. MacDonald, and editor of the Chatterbox Column, Jeanne Pul- len, taking notes for the Bromberg Daily Press. Among the spectators were such notables as Professors Jack and Ahrensfield, Doctors De Palma and Breen, the famous singer, Mme. Di Stefano, and Miss America, the all around American girl, Pearl Pragler. Overhead the clouds began to gather. They broke, and suddenly en- veloped the field in a tidal wave of raindrops. The bleachers arose in unison, and headed towards the gate. Felix Wujcik, the Tyrone Power of '58, hurried Miss Eleanor MacMillan, magnetic screen personality, into a cab driven by Salvati. The remainder of the group jumped into Shallcross's bus. Due to the inclement weather, they were forced to take refuge indoors. They went to the new Y Building, housing both the Y.W.C.A. and Y.M.C.A. or- ganizations, where National Presidents T. Fitzpatrick and R. Buchanan were installing the officers of these associations. Among them were: Social Presidents P. Davis and F. Hazelhurst, Secretaries to the Presidents M. Bove and J. Acker, Vice-Presidents M. Pryor, P. Gordon, V. Lewis, and E. Kaiser for the Y.W., and R. Benner, E. Cammann, R. Dabb, and E. Johnson for the Y. M., General Secretaries V. Glynn and R. Knapp, Business Secretaries M. Babcock and L. Salinardo, Treasurers M. Dougherty and C. Scott, Publicity' Fifty

CLASS WILL OF '38 E, the class of l938, declaring ourselves to be insane and unsound, do hereby publish this, our last will and testament. To future senior class advisers, we will Miss HedIey's and Mr. Forrest's year book headaches, plus a box of aspirin. To Connie Flemming we leave a new flame, but we're afraid she'll have a hard time finding another one like Donnie. To the on-coming Junior Hall Monitors, we leave Johanson's vocal abil- ities in hopes that they will use them to the school's advantage. To Dave Miller, we leave Norm Kempson's silentious attitude toward others. To Mr. Eaton, we leave a physics class devoid of the famous burping beauties, Hanna and Weber. To little Georgie Philipps, we leave House Walter's height, and J.W's bulk. Anyway, You Can't Stop Me From Dreaming. To the insignificant little Freshmen, Bernice Jack's dignity and Marge Bov6's height. This ought to give them a HEAD start! To future secretaries of Mr. Williams, we leave a stack of paper, a package of pencils, and plenty of time to make up History questions. They'll need itl To the Greasy Spoon, we leave a new set of patronizers. For Elmer's sake, we hope they'll be cash customers. To Dot Gabriel and Elsie Simcox, we leave Jim Breen's swivel hips. Need we elaborate further? To the Juniors, a Dot Brecht, the Second. Now they shouldn't have any trouble in getting lamps for the dances. To the Tirone Brothers we leave the place vacated by Pete DePalmc as school accordionists. Swing it, boysl Through the courtesy of our mad scientist, we bequeath to R. P. H. S. students one large bomb. We don't think you'll need to be told how to use itl To the hot spots of Manhattan, we leave Marion DiStefano, the gal with a sob in her voice. To all ambitious young hopefuls who desire to play the clarinet, we will Gaedcke's musical talent. That is, of course, if he has any to spare. Wanted: A night club in need ofa bouncer, Lozowski's on the loosel To all those who desire it, the poetical genius of Helen and Ida. Here's hoping they'll use it to better advantage. To the Cafeteria, we leave a bouquet of Orchids for its grand manage- ment. We didn't know it could be done! A copy of Thanks a Million to Miss Hedley and Mr. Forrest. ln this way we express our sincere appreciation for their splendid guidance. Signed by: FOO GOO Fifty-two
