RUTH COCHRAN—“Ruth Girls’ Glee Club 3-4, Prom Decoration Committee 3, Tri-Hi-Y 4, Alumni Editor, Salt Shaker 4, “Windy Willows” 4. A tall slender girl is our Ruth. Her beaming countenance is ever glancing to catch the eye of a certain member of the opposite sex. Her permanent wave has given her extra attention and chic this last year. WARD BROWN—“Pcs” Biology Club 2, Boys’ Glee Club 3-4, Basketball Manager 3, “Mrs. Wiggs of the Cabbage Patch” 1, Track 3-4, Salt Shaker Staff. Gangway, here comes Pex the boy with the dimple on his chin and the curly hair. Pex is mischievous but certainly goes for the girls in “big” way. He rides around in a two-seated Dodge. And can he go! He frequently takes the girls for a ride. (???) EDWIN FRANKLIN—“ £d” Biology Club 2, Prom Decoration Committee 3, Assistant Business Manager Salt Shaker 4. Ed is the slow, ambling kind of lover. He has possibilities but does not give them a chance. He has had a hard time keeping up with the girls and goes for them all in a “big way.” Keep it up, Ed. EVA DUNN—“Eva” “Up in the Air” 2, Girls’ Glee Club 3-4, Tri-Hi-Y 4, Biology Club 2, Prom Committee 3, Salt Shaker Staff 4, “Strange Bequest” 4, Cheer Leader 4, Staff Dance Committee. Eva is one of these “fast” ladies. She spends most of her time talking and devotes her spare time to chewing gum. If she has any ambitions she has kept them a secret because none of us have heard anything about it. She delights in teasing Mr. Fisher in English Class. »-• ♦ ♦ ♦ o9 3 3- Page Eight

THE SALT SHAKER diaafi prapfjmj Robert McKelvey, Jr., Class President For the sake of momentary amusement, let us forget about the present and look into the dim uncertainty of the mysterious future. This prophecy is built upon a telephone conversation between myself and another member of the class in the year 1948, fifteen years from now. “Hello, Hello! Is this Myron Kiebler? It is, eh? Gosh! It doesn't seem possible for me to be talking to you again. I read in the paper last night that the famous lecturer and scientist, Myron Kiebler, would be in town today at the William Penn Hotel. So I thought I would call you up and talk about old times. (Listens.) What? You don’t know who this is? It seems you ought to remember my voice. I used to yell at you loud enough in study hall whenever the teacher went out. (Listens.) Yes, you guessed it. This is Bob McKelvey, alright. Do I remember the fun we had in Biology Class? I reckon I do. Mr. McMillen was certainly a case, wasn't he? Do you remember the time right after lunch when he said we were going to cut up a frog, and that he had one right there in his pocket to be used as a sample? Yes. And when he pulled the paper sack out of his pocket and dumped its contents on the table and out rolled a nice-looking sandwich; I nearly died laughing. (Listens.) “He sure did. But not only did he look funny—do you remember what he said? He said, ‘That’s funny! I distinctly remember eating my lunch.' Say, Myron, I wonder whatever became of him? (Listens.) He absent-mindedly put his cigar to bed and threw himself out of the window about two years ago? Gee! I hadn't heard about that.” (Listens.) “What? You don't know anything about any of our classmates because you've been in Europe? Well, I’ll tell you about any you wish. (Listens.) “Oh, you surely know what I’m doing! Why, I’m managing a store right here in the city. I guess I got my start working in my dad’s store back in Saltsburg. (Listens.) Ruth Cochran? That’s right, you did use to be a little sweet on her, didn’t you? It was probably her stylish clothes that attracted you more than anything else. Well, she’s making good use of her ability to wear clothes well. She's a model now in a Paris dress shop. Makes good money, too, I 've heard. (Listens.) “Did any of the others turn out so well? I’ll say they did! You know Gilbert Maguire always wanted to be a wild animal trainer? Well, he has a big farm down in Louisiana where he raises guinea pigs for laboratory purposes. You know how bashful he was in our Senior play. Well, he got over that, too. Oh— yes! Donald Shirley, who wanted to break into big league baseball, caught Babe Ruth’s long ♦ ♦ : i home run hit in the 1938 World Series. Of course Don was down in the right field bleach- I ers instead of on the playing field, but he had a thrilling experience anyway. (Listens.) “Yes, Eva Dunn and Sarah Ameno did try to get into the movies. And the joke of it is that one of them did. What? Now which one would you think would be the more likely to get in? You think Sarah was the better looking? I can’t agree with you on that. I think Eva is better looking. But Sarah was the one, though. Eva couldn’t make it because her voice didn’t record well. But she got on the staff of a film magazine where she got to interview the screen stars and write them up in the magazines. She had a natural gift for nosing into people’s affairs, so it seems she went well with Walter Winchell. I notice that she has never given Sarah a write-up even though Sarah is now a star. (Listens.) “No, Dan McDivitt didn’t go to Yale as he ; had planned. He took an airplane from New j York to go up to New Haven, but the plane got lost in the fog and made a forced landing at Princeton, New Jersey. Dan was a little leary of getting into that machine again, so he stayed there and entered Princeton University, instead of Yale. It was just as well, because Princeton needed a good basketball player more than Yale did. (Listens.) “Who? Janet Conn? She is our class’s only contribution to the legitimate stage. You know she used to win all the prizes for orations and carry off the honors in plays in High School. Well, she is now appearing in the Pulitzer Prize Play running on Broadway. And, you know, funniest thing, Who do you think is designing all the scenery for the stage in that play at Radio City? None other than Honest John Rupert, who used to have all the tricks and work the math, puzzles. (Listens.) No, Mary Ellen Walters didn’t marry that rich banker as we all thought she would. She eloped with that traveling man who used to deliver Tom’s Toasted Peanuts to Charlie Martin’s. He was later transferred to another State, so I don’t know how they are getting along. However, the banker is now in prison over some money deal, so I guess Mary Ellen knew best after all. (Listens.) “Oh, yes, Mabel Stine. Well, she intended to be a teacher. She went to college, but was never able to find a job. So she’s still at college. I suspect she’s taken about every course they have to offer. It probably wouldn’t be any fun to see her again. She probably talks like a dictionary by this time. (Listens.) (Concluded on Page 11) ►1 9 3 3- ►»♦♦♦« Page Nine
