The nation’s Shirlee “Canary-Throat” Siciliano has completed her second concert tour of European royalty under the management of Misses Yerger and Gilchrist. Her able accompanist is Madame A. Traviata Gutzman who at a recent appearance stated, “I owe all of my success to my first professor, Miss Beatrice Birkbeck.” Incidentally, Dr. Birkbeck and her eminent husband, Dr. Rense, are in darkest Africa persistently teaching “Psychological Aspects of Child Development” to the natives there. The former Lois Wertz, novelist, nurse, and mother of fourteen off springs, has published her latest manuscript entitled, “Sixteen Can Live As Cheaply As One—If You Starve Yourself.” Patricia Hillyer and Donna Lemasters have been exiled from this country for the thirteenth time for their crimes—namely, pushing sweet old ladies down open man- holes and putting bubble-gum on street car tracks. More things have taken place. For instance, we still have Hunt: zinger’s Hideaway Henery for Happy Hens, ‘Photo-Face”” Downs and her Snap-Shop, “Traver’s Madcap Six” spotting Clara Colvin with her hot basoon solo, Pfout’s Bouts at the arena with Boyer’s Babes, “The Great Sinner,” Hoffman’s Hamburger Haven featuring Friedt Eggs, Schneider's Tavern, and not forgetting Leak and her Universal Faucet Company. Imagine Donna Ahrens as football coach at that famous women’s college, Vaseline, with Anna Maye Morris as the All American Tackle of the year. Misses Shirley Over, Patricia Miser and Phyllis Morr are busily hitch-hiking all over the United States delivering catnip to millions of poverty-stricken cat homes in honor of “Be Kind to PussyCat Week.” Betty Roode and Louise Semancik have completed their first bicycle tour of Ohio. In itself, this does not sound like much of a feat, but Louise and Betty signed an edict that they would travel only without the aid of roads and cowpaths. ‘The Mesdames Ruth Machovic, Alice Greer, Dorothy Samuels, and Suzanne Ahlstrom are busily employing an architect for the construction of their new ‘“Keep-em Kleen Kiddie Laundry.” The idea was conceived when the four families got together weekly to do their own washings at the Laundromat. Miss Nancy Ferrato is crowned tennis champion of the Bermuda Islands for the fourth consecutive year. Miss Eleanor Sykes is campaigning for votes in next years election for congresswoman.

Class Prophecy of 1950 “Just look at me yawning—it must be getting late and I had better get to bed if I have to get up early tomorrow morning. O-O-O-o why did I eat that limburger, dill pickle, and onion sandwich before going to bed?. My stomach is turning loops and my head along with it; in fact, I think I’m seeing things. Look at that calendar dancing around on my dresser! I know it’s important as a gadget to have around but why all the fuss? Wonder what the date is? Wow, it’s already May 1970? The years are flying by so fast I can’t believe it’s possible. What has happened to my old classmates of our 1950 graduating class? Ive tried my best to keep track of them during these lean hard years, but it hasn’t been too easy. Who was the girl I read about in the paper the other day? Oh yes, it went like this: Mrs. Winona Ernestine Wintringham Spoon has just given birth to her fourth child naming him “Zoop” Spoon. Good old Lil Pestotnik is still one of those career girls and is with Barnum Bailey's Circus as head nurse of the animal dispensary. She is becoming quite adept at trimming baby elephants’ toenails. Speaking of circuses, Gracie Young is the pride and joy of the side shows being known as “The Spotted Lady” resulting from an affliction of an early skin disease. I can remember when her condition started way back in our senior student days. Mrs. Betty Walker and husband Jimmy have established a chain of Lullabye Shops throughout the country and have become fabulously wealthy. According to rumors, their business was inspired by Betty’s beautiful infant knitwear produced during her student days. Mrs. Jean Fricke Gyorky is still operating the ““Lulu-Belle Auto Repair Shop.” In’ cidentally, the Gyorky’s are still driving Lulu-Belle, the famous car of years past, despite numerous pecuniary offers to establish it in “The Old World Museum.” I read a pamphlet in the library yesterday about our own Dr. Bea’ trice Ruhf with assistants Marilyn Hitchcock and Adelle Miller. Dr. Ruhf, noted head of Boston Medical Center, has been doing extensive research on that new drug, Beadrano, proven to remove skin blemishes (often skin, too). Speaking of skin blemishes, our famed cosmotologist, Florence Kupper, is sponsoring Dr. Ruhf’s product for the Veterinerian Association. Page Eighteen

“Dimples” Stevensen and “Bubbles” Stout are retiring from the screen after fifteen years of successful movie life. It is rumored that through public demand and influence, one last picture will be made which will be the story of their lives. Joan Lawrence is still head runner in the Cleve- land Yacht Club races every year. She and her trusty craft, “The Ken- more, have been declared undefeated as said renowned Judge, Mary Louise Heckel, at the yacht club banquet held in San Francisco last year. The former “Rhythm Boomerangs,” composed of Leiser, Mason, and Schanda gave up their title to play the leading roles in a New York musical stage hit. At a recent interview, they staged no desire to return to their old positions at the Stork Club in New York. Yvonne Dawson has spent the past years trying to find the hidden mines of old Bill Dawson, her famous cowboy uncle. Due to this exper- ience, she has grown to love the life of a cowgirl and refuses to budge out of the Wild West Country. Mrs. Sally Adams is superintendent of nurses in their newly founded Adam’s Clinic for Obnoxious Eyes in Hawkinsville, Mexico. Have you noticed Baylor’s Burping Counter down at Higbee’s lately? It’s getting pretty bad, I think, when mothers can’t even take out time to bubble their own babies when shopping. “Shupp’s Stoop” is now lo- cated in University Circle after repeated attempts to buy out Moe’s Main Street Cafe. ; No doubt you have heard about Conover’s additions to his cover book models? Ah yes, Del Petrick and Jean Hinman are both well up on the fashion world now. Janie Hutchinson has just signed with N.B.C. to take over Marie Wilson’s place in “My Friend Irma.” Miss Peg Robertson has established herself as the Sherlock Holmes of the Underworld in her exploitation of the “Hot Rod Murders.” The last we heard from the former Betty Komora was that she and her husband were still running around Europe trying to promote better foreign relations there. Any news from her would be greatly appreciated. ; There goes that alarm clock again. Oh, I must have been dreaming and what dreams! If some of those come true, what an outstanding class we will be!! Right after work I am going to get Freud’s book on ““Dream Analysis” and see what this all means. Maybe better yet, I had better watch what I eat before going to sleep. I wouldn’t like to go through that again, that’s for sure.” Page Twenty
