'1 5 K ..-7: I If X on the road is Carol Jones' minstrel troupe, starring Louise Longnecker, Audrey Stone, and Faith Hus- ton. While in New York they met Priscilla Brown, who now owns a flea circus and side show. Her main attraction is Jane Grey and Anne Knudten, who pose as Siamese twins. Sherrill Mallett and Dot Ropp are about to publish an article exposing the show as a fraud and Priscilla is prepared to flee. Miss Joan Jenkins has been'informed by Jackie Galloway that she is the latest big winner in the Pyramid Club. Joan, who joined a mere ten years ago, is finally cleaning up. The only switch is she must go to Egypt to collect. Joan was looking for a Camel to ride on her trip but she found that Lady Doctor Joyce Anderson had smoked them all up. Joyce has opened up offices over Merrick Newbold's pawn shop. One of Newbe's latest cus- tomers was Wes Stagg, who hocked his basket- ball letters. Speaking of athletics, Harry Quigley just signed his contract with the New York Giants. Al Bogle is manager of the club, while Spunky Rogers broadcasts all home games. The new own- ers of the club are sweater manufacturers Nancy Van Buren and Ruth Van Brookhaven. Attending games frequently is big game hunter Bob Day. Bob has been hired. 'by women explorers Anita Bothner, Phyllis Bower, and Eleanor Wilson to lead their expedition to Africa. The girls are going in the interests of science and will be accompanied by fearless Rich Racheter, the famed movie gang- ster. The trip is being paid for by Jean Tosca, Daphne Suss, and Marjorie Lentz, who are also backing a new Broadway play. It is a parody of Shakespeare's famous play and is called Omelet Steve Van Osten and Norma Simpson are the stars. The play was written by Doris Faley, who now heads the English department at R, H. S. Recently elected to the school board were Mabel Southwick and Doctor Bill Black. ,Bill was a popular choice when he promised to fix up the high school track which he referred to as the big rut. Jack Wallace has followed in his father's foot- steps as a coach. His girl's wrestling team is the best in the nation. Ken Eynon won the National Ping Pong Tournament andlpromoter Al Daub has planned a European tour for him. Chemist Ted Adams, while watching Ken- play, conceived an idea for a breakfast cereal. It is composed of lit- tle white balls of sugared cellulose and is called Gnip Gnops, which is ping pong spelled back- wards. The name was thought up by advertising man George Oliver, The project is being backed by Janet Biggs, Josephine Alongi, and Phyllis Whiteside, who now own a roller skating rink. Bob Schoenberg and Lee Twist were just ap- pointed vice presidents in charge of odors in the Harold Fishbeck Fragrant Cheese Company. The appointment was made by the big cheese himself, President Bob Ely. Bob, who has made himself a fortune, was just appointed chairman of the Demo- cratic National Committee. Meanwhile, Paul Mer- win, the traveling minister, has escaped from the clutches of husband hunters Marion Terhune and Joanne Streichert. When last heard of Paul was on a slow boat to China. The girls hired pilots Bill Anderson and Whitey Aydelotte to search for the boat. The search failed, .so the girls married the boys instead of paying them. Ron Chaffee is singing in Bob Uehlein and Ridgeway Case's new musical, Arizona. The hit song was written by Virginia Russell and is called Hugo Where I Go. Recently a dinner was given for scientists John Pramke and Jim Dunn in celebration of their new atomic nutcracker. Master of Ceremonies Bill Luke introduced the celebrities including artist Dorinda Smith, Profes- sor Carl Krebs, famed track coach Al lllinger, and comedian Carol ithey wanted a girl and look what they goti Castricum. Also present was Jim Car- bonetti, who has lost his popularity since he opened his skunk farm. He just doesn't have good scents. Barbara Hensle, Isabel Halliday, and Anne Har- rison own an exclusive dress shop and have hired models Joan Wappler and Joyce Hendricks, Across the street is Jerry Walker's famed Turkish Baths, which cater to such renowned women athletes as Alice Giles and Dot Mozian. Dot, the first woman golfer to enter the National Open, lost when caddy Marion Smith accidentally kicked her ball, costing her a stroke. Her opponent, Laughing Boy Don Davies, got a big kick out of the whole affair. Janet Phillips has opened The Wee English Tea Shoppe and trucking tycooniks Flo Joralemon is her favorite customer. Flo recently had trouble with her drivers, when union head Rich Schaerer told the boys to go on strike. Mediator Elaine Vellacott settled the matter and was praised by columnist Bob Harding in his column Bungling Along. Bob's column was recently blasted by Conrad Nicotine Schultz who said, His column is like a thunderstorm-in fact when you read it aloud it sounds like hail. Now it is ended, its sadness and mirth. You may take it for what it's worth. lt's predictions may come true. Please don't laughlg they're predictions of you. Now that it's ended, l'll lay down my pen And finish by saying a most reverent Amen. s K.

Ei Glafup PRELUDE When our high school years come to an end We must bid farewell to school and friend. Onto the paths of life we stray Each one taking his separate way. Some may fail and some succeed, Some may advance and some recede, So l have attempted a prophecy Of what Fate holds in store for you and me. Now a prophecy is like a shot in the dark, Which could easily hit or miss its mark. The curtain of time I have therefore drawn. Gazed into the future, and seen the dawn. What l've seen, l've attempted to write And l have seen both fortune and plight. Now my children, l shall relate The fortunes of you, as determined by Fate. These are the fortunes that are yours and mine, So let's look ahead to the year '59. Some may regard this as sin, But enough of talk-shall we begin? PROPHECY by Bob Harding The famous Bar Fly Trio, consisting of Leo Wells, Walter Lewis and Alonzo Sisco are currently drawing capacity crowds to Ron Kucks' high-class chophouse, The Windbag. The boys are creating quite a sensation with their rendition of Re-bop- Rag, a little ditty written by trumpet man .lack Buehler. Tending bar is Bill Hansen, while Darrin Higdon is head waiter. The kitchen staff is headed by John Gulow, whose Norwegian specials top the menu. Though proprietor Kucks is known for his high ideals, the club recently got some bad pub- licity when playboy Herb Porter crowned pro bas- ketball player Charlie Bogie in an argument. Both were arrested by copper Frank Trainor but the affair was settled out of court. Ex R-Hi editor John Foehl has gone into the publishing business and has bought the rights to Betty Polis' novel, Away with the Breeze. Miss Polis, whose writng is but a sideline, recently won re-election to Congress. Her campaign was directed by Honest Alan Terrill and Happy Bill Uster. Her main opposition was presented by Art Shera who unsuccessfully ran for the sixth time on the Vege- tarian ticket. Art lost the election when labor leader Jerry Towe suddenly decided to back Miss Polis. Ace reporter Mary MacComber revealed that the split between Shera and Towe came when Art found Jerry eating a balony sandwich at apre- election party held at John Sichel's restaurant. . . nt at the party were such notables as Bill and Muriel Wagner, the owners of Wagner's Wag- ons, the latest thing in travelling lunch counters. Heading the Bergen County department is Don Chiappone, who has hired Henry Acker, Pete Braun, and Buddy Eldot as counter men. The firm is doing nicely since idea man Lou Kissel inaug- urated the new door-to-door sandwich service. Barbara Kellermen and Joan Pendergast, noted psychiatrists, are doing well in their Fifth Avenue office. Working in the outer office are speed typ- ists Shirley Pollock, Wilma Farquahar, and Lois Szwed. One of their patients is Althea Pratt, who has a Wyn complex and keeps having dreams of track shoes jumping over her hope chest. Across the hall is the firm of Norton, Bahue, and Norton, Private Detectives. Ed, George, and Bob have been employed by the former Anne Woche, mush- room heiress, who wants to keep tabs on her spouse, Walt Liggett. Columnist Jeanne Kirner says that the marriage is on the rocks because Walt refuses to eat mushrooms three times a day. The dance team of Armond Francke and Clair Randall are currently starring at the Rex, where we find ushers Lou Larsen and Bill Longua plus owner George Bernhard. George also owns a large, stable of race horses. His top riders are Owen Car- lin and Ted Myska. Frequent visitors to the races are Dot Kelley, Joyce Thomas, and Arlene Kelly, better known as the singing Schmoo sisters. Lawyer Don O'ReiIly hit the headlines when his client Susan Gehgan was acquitted on a reck- less driving charge. Judge Tom Pickering was swayed by Don's oratory and allowed Susan to go Scott free. Serving as witness for the defense were Marion Cooke and Beverly Hooper. lt turned out that Sue was driving one of mechanic Frank Pistelli's hopped up ieeps. lt was told to her by Crazy Ed Nemeth and Maniac McAlpine, used car dealers. Rod gave a party for Tonto Tidona, who was kicked off the reservations when the Indians found out how badly he treated their brothers from Passaic on Thanksgiving Day ten years ago. Jean d'Ablemont and Phyllis Dayton have opened a beauty parlor and do terrific work when it comes to bleaching hair. One of their customers is Carole Gregory. Mary Ellen Bull states that she doesn't need to go to the beauty parlor since she got her Tony. Giovanni D'Oriano, accompanied by Ellen Gilar- doni, has completed her concert tour. Ellen was reported missing, but sleuth Mimi Papa found her in Giovanni's accordion case. Stage hand Austin Von Wallmenach accidentally locked her in A - . .re Q 5'W1Y!t'j'f'f'ff . .. . . . . . . .
