Gordon Scarlett is running a barber shop in Pima. His slogan is Shave and throat cut, six bits. As his assistant we find Kay DeSpain, senior chief scalper and toupe arranger. Both boys seem happy in their butchery. Merna Layton, now a fat, buxom opera star, is making a concert tour of the Canary Islands. Della Rogers is her accompanist. Eugene Holfield and Earl Price are running a Whiskey Cure Hospital out in Cactus at present. Their nurse is that pretty red head, Reva McBride. One of their last clients was Gilbert Whveelock, better known as the Fire Crief of Lizard's Bump. He is following in his father's footsteps. Mildred Smith is the new charm expert and dean of women of the Uni- versity of Arizona. She teaches the girls all the secrets of getting a man and holding him. Norman Bingham has become one of Safford's leading business men. He owns a chain of pool halls all the way from Ft. Thomas to San Jose. His wife, the former Lenna Phegley, is the leader of the elite in Safford's society. Myron Kisselburg is the leader of a communistic group and is definitely un- American in his ideas. He carries his traditional soap box and time bomb, trav- eling from town to town in his old jalopy. Alene Johns, who has been to Reno five times since her first marriage, is now the wife of Harold Merrill, owner of the Valley Bakery. She seems quite satisfied because he gives her all the doughnuts she wants to eat. Ruth Richmond. the great geometry student, is designing a road from Saf- ford to Ft. Thomas so her boy frienl can get down to see her quicker and more often. Her chief engineer is Ivanelle Lance who was fired from the Five and Ten recently for flirting with the customers. Sam Foote, by the way, is still in college as almost a full-fledged Sophomore. He declares he will keep on plugging along until he finds a beautiful girl worthy of his affections, and having one million dollars. How correct the prophecies of the crystal ball will be, only time can tell. The Ocatilla-Page twenty-sin:

Ordell Larson has been delving in politics. He has just been elected mayor of San Jose, fast-growing enchilada manufacturing center. Chief street cleaner and dog catcher of the fair city is Roy Jacobson. Marjorie Puller has shocked us all and is advocating back to nature in one of New York's classiest night spots. Her latest admirer is Gigolo Arthur Todd, king of the gin bottle. Spencer Hoopes has given up the show business in Safford and has reformed. He is on a mission in the South Sea Islands and seems to be enjoying himself. Caroline Van Order and Rex Rapier are a famous dance team in Holly- wood. Their latest dance creation was the Boogie Woogie Floogien in which Caroline was a picture of grace and Rex exceeded all other dance artists by standing on his head for ten minutes. Cherrill Brown has given up her books and is giving lectures in better places on How to keep your girlish figure. Her able assistant is Ruby Foote who teaches the weaker sex the art of ju-jitsu. Betty Anderson has become a famous ventriloquist. Sitting on her lap is the famous king of the wooden heads, Fred Thomas. Lucille Nash is teaching a school out in Lone Star and is fast becoming an old maid because she can't decide which one of the Tidwell twins to marry. J. W. Steurmer has given up his Coca-Cola truck and has sought the he man life of Tarzan in Africa. Going along to protect him from catching cold is his wife, Marsha Mae Root. Dora Kirkham has organized an all-woman baseball team who just re- cently won the world's championship from the New York Yankees. Her star players are Wilma Curry, Julia Nulton, and Myrtle Hancock. Curtis Ligon and Herbert Skinner, two of the world's greatest scientists, have disputed Darwin's theory on the evolution of men. After years of research they declare that, judging from the human specimens they have seen, men sprang from something worse than monkeys. Helen Wackerbarth has forsaken her tennis racket for the more exciting life of a night club. She now slaps that bass for Ted Harris' We Like lt Hot band, while hubby Arthur Carrell cooks the meals and works on the WPA. Melvin Powell has climbed high. Starting out as a mere paper boy, he is now the star reporter of the Arizona Republic in Phoenix. One of the more unfortunate paper boys, Tommy Blake, still resides in Safford as a confirmed bachelor and the Government and Sociology teacher of Salford High School. Clarice Maloy and Mary Jean Kennedy are in the local jail at present on charge of espionage. The two unfortunate girls were down in Mr. Mitchell's chemistry room working on a very dangerous experiment when Clarice mis- took a stick of dynamite for a piece of chalk. The Safford High School will have to be rebuilt. Pngflwulfy-1i1'0-TI111 Oz-olillo
