Elinor Walter, who was a very intelligent lass and who towered over us all, is the editor of that very large publication called the DINKY DINKER TON GAZETTE. I presume she got her start when she was editor of the La Saltianna, way back in ‘42. While reading her publication this morning, I noticed the headlines saying, Mrs. Raymond Marsaln (Do not be confused with the title, as she is our own dear Martha Mohawk) has joined her husband. Mr. Raymond Marsaln of the U. S. Army stationed at Camp Lee, Virginia. My! I was happy to hear that she had finally joined him. I remember way bark in ‘42 when she used to buddy with Wanda Marsaln, who is now a Paris correspondent, in order to get on the better side. Just lately I heard that Dale Morgan has become a big game hunter. He is hunting for the Kitty-Cat which always wandered into the drawer of Marjorie Morton’s desk. A very prominent member of our town told me that Mr. Kenneth Rupert was elected as Pennsylvania delegate at the National Farm Show in Nebraska. That’s what I call success' Marjorie Morton and James Rorr.bach, the smallest articles of our class, have obtained positions on the faculty of one of our foremost colleges. I believe it is called the “Ritz-Fritz College.’ I am sure they are to be congratulated upon their great success. Charles Coffin, the boy with the pleasant laugh and good-natured grin, has started an auto-car manufacturing cotrpany. He is putting out Fords with two-cylinder ergints. I suppose Duke got his ability when he drove his Capitolla (his old Ford) to school. Glenn Loughry has obtained a position in the movies. Recently he was chosen the most handsome movie star. I am sure that isn't to be doubted because he always was an attracticn to the girls. Hilda Bryan is now a famous artist. Just recently she displayed a very creative scene of a sand storm. Our friend, Rocco Flaminio, has become an absent minded professor in a college in Minnesota. He certainly will make a success in his vocation. Oh Dear Diary! I heard today that Caroline Runco, that very dear friend of mine, has finally obtained the position as “Private Secretary to our President. Good for you, Carrie, I knew that you would do it someday. Some of our class members have acquired their fame as radio speakers. Every day on the Farm and Home Hour, Georgia Anna Shirley gives information on how to plant potatoes. Mona Mae Quick is a well-known authority on etiquette and gives many lectures on How to Eat Celery without Making a Clattering Noise.’ Mr. Nathaniel Nesbitt is a foreign Correspondent who reports news for the Steward Chewing Gum Factory. In case you haven’t heard, Cleveland Steward is the president of this factory. Mary Fiorpiselliand Helen De Francis, the two inseparable pals, are giving a series of lectures on Speaking when You Have Something to Say. Just lately I read in the society column of the Dinky Dinkerton Gazette, which is written by I eila Rose Long and Anna Krawczuk, that Bill has finally popped the question to Helen. The merry event will take place next June. Congratulations, Helen! William Esler is the Treasurer in a bank way out in that little town called Swing and Sway, Pa. Vernon Hughes has obtained a position on the facu'ty of one of our common colleges Good old P. U. He is the coach of the football team. Well, Dear Diary, since my fingers which are row acting fitfully because they have become so tired and cramped. I will say farewell until tomorrow. 25

Wednesday May 30. 1956 Dear Diary: Here I am full of mirth and glee all ready to continue my Brief discussion. Oh! Gracious! This morning I received a letter from Flossie Fennell away down there in Porto Rico. She has joined that realm of “Happy Home Makers.’ No doubt she was very amazed when she h'ard of the success that Kenneth Johns had made. He has a large sanitarium in San Juan. The purpose of this sanitarium is to build muscles of the body. Majbe Muscles will become the second John Atlas after all. Flossie also stated that Jean Vercna and Grrce Steele, the two winsome members of our class, are clerks in one of the large department stores in Paris. Jean is demonstrating face powder. That’s about all the news sbe had forme. Oh! Yes! She also told me that she was very contented and joaful. Marie Verone and Emily Campitella have set up a very large shop where they beautify many women. A few of our members have started a cannery in Clarksburg, Pa., so if you want to buy vegetables at a very reasonable price you should buy them frtm the Hile. Nardis, and Lowman Canned Vegetable Company in Clarksburg. Pa. Judging from the records, a few of our members have become vocalists. Margaret is a featured vucal singer on Melodies of Old limes.’ Just recently she sang the long-remembered song called, Kiski Then Forever. Eugene Verona pla s his clarinet on Major Hall’s Amateur Hour almost every Sunday. Our own deer Jack is the second Major Bowes. Peg Olson is a famous jitter-bug singer and dancer. Peg always could jitter-bug! John Dudich and Dick Gould have started a very large poultry farm in Bantam City. Clarence Walter is still chasing fires! Nice goinf! Oh! Land Sake! I must tell you about June Sandstrom. This morning as I was reading the sports section of the “Dinky Dinkerton Gazette , written by Bob Woolweaver and Don Williams, my eyes fell upon the headlines saying, June Sandstrom to Star in the Roller Derby in Pittsburgh. My! My! June I always knew you could roller-skate, but I didn’t think you would go so far with it. Catherine Troup has also joined the Realm of Happy Home Makers. Bob Askirs is the lucky man. Earl Baker and Walter Brown are now managing a hotel in Hamburger City. The name of this hotel is Hotel Hotdog. Violet Johnston is a waitress there. Leonard Bufalini, that very quiet member of our class, is acting in a silent movie. Therefore, he will not have anything to say. What success! 1 must end my brief discussion now as my brain has become so tired that I can hardly balance it. I will leave you with the one thought in mind that we, the Seniors of ’42, have and will come in contact with difficult tasks and severe trials, but I am sure that we have proven to you that every cloud has a silver lining. 26 Dorothy Hilty ‘42
