Page 6 HIGH NEWS rf s - € lass Q] Prophecy : Car-Rich Ranch, Reno, Nev., June 10, 1948 Dear Diary: Today has been one of the most unusual in the annals of the Car-Rich Ranch. It has also been the most enjoyable one in our lives be- cause we have just made the last payment on the ranch; and a deed, stating that Carroll Biser and Richard Slick now own the 3,000-acre ranch, is in our pockets. In order to keep our patrons well pleased we are forced to select the best entertainment. You can imagine our amazement when our en- tertainers arrived and we found them to be none other than “Punch” Willard and “Pop” Martin, who have been playing over S. H. S. for five years. We met with a problem when one horse wrangler quit his job without notice, but this was solved when Roger Rowe came wandering in the next morning about breakfast time and jumped at our offer. Our ranch is just ten miles out of town and naturally we get many applications from the women seeking divorces. On this very day we had two girls arrive—none other than Elizabeth Frey and Gladys Wiles. (They said they could not get along with their men). They plan to stay the usual six to eight weeks. Carroll mentioned to me that we should have a special dinner to renew old acquaint- ances and, of course, that meant a ride into town for more food. We had some motor trouble on the way to town and had to call a town truck. As the little car was coming to- ward us, we saw on the side a huge sign which read “MARTIN KLINE—Repair Service.” (The car was a Model A coupe). We finally reached town and did our purchasing at a grocery and meat store owned by John Da- tillio. We went back to the garage, but found that we would have to wait about five hours, because George did not have the repairs on hand. We decided to visit the theater and sum- moned a cab. The cab pulled up with a jerk and the door flew open, and, lo and behold, there was Lee Happel at the wheel. We went to the theater where we bought tickets from an attractive blond, who called us by name. We pondered a while and then we knew that it was Lena Kuhn, somewhat reduced. We entered the lobby and we were greeted by the smiling faces of Julia Jacques and Gail Beard, who were joint owners of the theater. And say, it was really a nice place! We were ushered to our seats by Dale Fishack, a classmate. From there we watched a very enjoyable show directed by “Dick Bol- linger,” a newcomer to Hollywood. We were entertained by a grand organ re- cital calhd “The Organ Grinder Swing,” ground out by George Gardiner on his Stradivarus Hand Organ (without the mon- key). This was followed by an orchestra con- ducted by “Fats” Gaver, master of the trom- bone, making his debut, starring Jane Wade as mistress of the trumpet and Elsa Kretsinger, vocalist. When leaving the theatre we congratulated Julia and Gail for their fine achievement and their excellent entertainers. We were strolling down the street when we noticed a gayly decorated beauty salon, in the doorway of which stood two attractive young women whom we recognized as Luella Smith and Lucille Hartle, trying their best to get customers. We stopped to chat awhile, and found that they had just opened their place of business that week. Suddenly we heard a crash and a bang outside. We jumped to our feet and looked out, only to see two middle- aged Whippets that had collided and their drivers were arguing as to who was at fault. We soon recognized them as Doris Olsen and Ruth McAfee (now married). We told them of the very fine repair service rendered by MAR- TIN KLINE, and they decided to have their wrecks remodeled there.
