Swatara Township High School-THE SWATARA SWATTER 9 '31KV?9i9N momlwgv Senior Glass fP'ropl1ecy 'C AFE! Gee, what luck! I thought surely I'd crash and break my neck when that control wire broke! Well anyway, I made a safe landing and should get a mechanic to repair that broken control wire. I set foot for Cleveland Qwhich was only a short distance awayj and searched for a mechanic. It wasn't long until I noticed a large sign above the main entrance of a large garage, bearing this inscription, Black and Vukmanic, Aero and Auto Repair Shop. I entered and turning to my left saw a tall lanky fellow with greasy overalls and greasy face, leaning on the fender of a Ford car while repairing the fan belt and some worn out spark plugs. After watching him for some time I asked him for information concerning the whereabouts of the airplane mechanic. He slowly lifted his head and turning his face toward me replied, You'll find him right around the ffff , here he stopped and with outstretched hands came running to greet me. 'LWell. blow me down, where did you come from, huh? Sure enough it was James Black in person and still as iovial as before. Why, I just thought I'd drop in and give you some M, here I was interrupted by a shrill voice, Hello, John, don't you recognize your old friend, Monsieur Vukmanic? I surely do, Frank, I replied, and say, by the way, would you mind repairing my airplane in a hurry, you'll find it about a quarter mile south of Cleveland in a corniieldf' And with a cheerful expression and smile upon his face he replied, You bet your boots I will, john, you know I'd do anything for you, and away he went to 6x it. After a brief conversation with james, I told him I had better see a doctor about my wrist which seemed to me might be dislocated. Don't go to any doctor around here, interrupted james, take my advice and go to the hospital and you'll ffff you'll ffff see some more of your former classmates. I immediately bade James farewell and started toward the hospital which was just a few blocks away. After entering the hospital I marched briskly through the hallway when suddenly I was tapped on the shoulder, by someone from the rear, whom Cafter turning aroundj I recognized as Marlin Keim. Why, John, he said, what happened to you, why are you so pale, are you hurt? Oh, no, Marlin, I just came in to see some of our former classmates. So that's it, eh, well you wait here and I'll call them. I seated myself on the bench in the hallway and waited. But no sooner had I seated myself when I heard footsteps rapidly but quietly moving down the hall, and glancing up, I immediately recognized the three approaching nurses as Linda' bell Walborn, jesstena Wise and Martha Greenawalt. They were plainly but neatly dressed in snowy white dresses. I iumped up and with a cheerful smile greeted them heartily. Shake, John, old boy, Martha hailed me cheerfully, How are you? And with these words she grasped my right hand and proceeded with her familiar trusty handshake. Whats the matter with him? said jesstena in surprise, why his ffff take him to the dressing rooml His wrist is broken, and the next moment they were all crowded around me bandaging my wrist. Of course I felt a little uneasy at first but I soon recovered and became accustomed to my new sur- roundings. You girls are really well trained and kindfhearted nurses, and I wish to say that I wouldn't mind coming here a little oftenerf' Isn't he the same old john, said Lindabell, 'galways flattering and praising the girls. Our conversation continued until they gave me some information about Casper Peterman, then bidding farewell, I decided to pay him a short visit. I strolled down West Federal Street in a delightful mood while relating some of the joyous events I had so far encountered. At last, almost unexpectedly, I reached my destination-Casper Peterman Clothing Store. I slowly entered the store and looked right and left but I could see no one. While waiting for someone to apf pear, I heard a small child begin to cry and at the same time a deep toned voice began singing- Rock afbyefbaby -Sleep my child-etc. This voice seemed familiar and I immediately went to the rear of the store to investif gate. To my surprise I saw a fat, chubby man with two small children Ceach of whom was smearing licorice over his facej sitting on a soap box behind the counter. This young man proved to be Casper and after seeing me he could not hesitate to run out and greet me. 'AYou darling 'Ruth,' 'Adelinef and what not, come let me hold you in my arms, and so he did. After relating my experiences to him, I was surprised when he said he knew the whereabouts of one more of the members of our class, Harry Stazewski. Aw, I thought you were going to say, me a faint voice from the other side of the storeroom softly whispered, surely you know me John. I was more than surprised when I turned about and noticed Eva Schlafman, now a tall, fair and beau' tiful brunette serving as clerk and stenographer in Casper's store, staring at me in such a manner that my knees began to shake and practically give way from under me. Gee, you've surely changed a lot, I at last remarked, why the last time I saw you, you were so small, and now ffff well ffff there's quite some difference. We conf tinued our conversation and suddenly Casper said, Come on, john, let's go and see Harry. So we started out at a rapid pace, We barely left the store when a loud shrill voice was heard from the second story of the clothing store. Casfper! come here this instant. Sure enough there was Agnes standing in the doorway with a rolling pin in her hand, Casfper! Did you hear, come here this instantino arguments and hurry the children are crying! Casper looked at me in a downfhearted fashion and told me he was sorry he had to leave so soon and then marching back toward the store said, Yes, darling, I'm coming. I then called on Harry, even though Casper couldn't come along and we discussed bygone events among ourselves. Harry also informed me that he was president of I..yter's Ice Cream Industry, and I was happy to learn that he was successful in his life's work. Say, john, suggested Harry, how would you like to go to the Dome theater in Youngstown with me and see Melvin Davidson and Catherine Shultz on the stage in their latest role, 'Romeo and Juliet' You see Melvin sent me two tickets yesterday telling me to come to see him if possible. I did not hesitate to reply, Sure, I'll go, and I think if we start now we'll be there in time for tonight's performance. So we left immediately for Youngstown. ylktsibfai msoeaxg-Q99
