Thomaston High School - Owl Yearbook (Thomaston, CT)

Text from Pages 1 - 70 of the 1946 volume:

EDITORIAL The year is 1946; the world is at peace. Within the space of twenty-eight years we have had two world wars. Each was to be the war to end all wars. Once again is thrust upon mankind the task of securing a lasting peace. On this, the silver anniversary of the Owl, let us go back to just five years after the end of World War I. Little did the high school boys and girls of this significant year realize that within a few short years there would be the worst depression in the history of the United States, that again within another short span of years the threat of war would again be upon us, that their sons and daughters would be called to arms to preserve the rights and privileges of mankind. As we glance through former Owls, we see familiar faces, those of many of our own fathers and mothers, and, in more recent issues, those of former classmates and friends some of whom worry no more about- the basketball game, the junior prom, or graduation. For many it was the only one. Let us now decide to strive unceasingly to preserve the peace for all the men and women who have fought so gallantly. What injustice if within another period of twenty-five years, we find in the 1970 Owls John Smith—class of 1966—killed in action! It will not happen again, was a cry often heard after World War I. But there was a war. Let us act so that there cannot, will not,be a World War III. ACKNOWLEDGMENT The members of the Owl Staff wish to thank the teachers, students, and everyone who has helped us with this and the preceding issues of the Owl.

CLASS PROPHECY 1946 I 5 We take you now to the moon where the never-to-be-forgotten- class of 19 hundred and 46 Is holding its twenty-fifth anniversary. These famous men and women are gathered here for the grand opening-of Moonshine Manor, owned and operated by Patsy Dimaria and his assistant, Ray Baldwin. The class arrived at the moon on the Luna Rocket ship piloted by the adventurous Edwin Pratt co-owner of the forst rocket ship company. His partner, Casimer Hodkoski, has performed miracles in designing these fabulous air palaces. Moonshine Manor was designed by that renowned architect, Miss Marjoiie Fuller, and the contracting job was done by Thomas Innes. We now take you to the Luna Room the luxurious salle 6 manger of Moonshine Manor. In the corner near the smorgosbord we find that man of the world, Harold Stanley Rogozinski. At another table wo come upon Miss Patricia Winters, alluring model for Ruggie Fashions Inc., owned by none other than Dorothy Ruggle. Walking among the tables is Shirley Kipp, director of Candid Camera Close-Ups Inc. At still another table v e see novelist Frances Kakowski, editor of American News Features, and with her, her private secretary, the girl who has achieved the greatest speed and accuracy in typewriting, Gertrude Werner. In the other corner are seated three prominent personages: our dear President, Paul Haddon, his private nurse-Marianne OzerhOski, and Ethel Sanford, his confidential secretary. The class numismatician, Walter Robinson, is surrounded by a host of lovelies among whom Gay Brazee is outstanding, while leaning against a tall, white pillar in an exotic black dress stands our world-travler, red-headed Thurza Delliber. And now onto the floor walks our master of cermonies David Potter distinguished looking in his full-dress suit. He introduces the first number, Habanera from Carmen, sung by sultry Mary Lou Klaneski. At the conclusion of this aria, the spotlight shifts to that glamorous woman of adventure, Liz Monahan, the dare-devil stunt driver of the modernistic bi-plane autos; who tomorrow will display her skill in an air show in the first exhibition of this kind on the moon. At a table close by, we see the two men who have performed miracles in farming on the surface of the moon, John Fairchild and Richard Smith. In their party we find Michael Senew, animal breeder, who has crossed animals from the moon with mink and obtained luxurious lavender fur; also Joseph Kwiatkoski, the great mathematician. Entering the Luna Room are Marguerite Ferguson, Gloria- Knightly and Evelyn Rudberg, the three top executives of tie American Nursing Assoc. A fanfare Is heard, now, as Mary Allison Roberts and her Hubba, Hubba Girls start the opening bars of the number Magic Is The Moonlight sung by our crooner, the roan who made the song famous, none other than Jim-m-mie Kennedy. The crowd goes mad with applause as Kennedy walks off the floor A greet commotion Is heard at the center table. It seems that Thomas bkulski, the famous historian, has found the answer at last, after spending many sleepless nights on the bafflin'- question, Are geniuses born or are they made? At the close of the show all the guests retired because a big time was planned for the following day. As the dawn broke, we find Ruth Elinor Thomson, secretary and receptiov ist at Moonshine Manor, taking her constitutional wjith Barbara Pox, who has risen to be chief executive of the New York Telephone Exchange. As they arrive back at Moonshine “ianor, there appears in the heavens Florence Luboyeskl's startlingly brilliant sky advertisement for the internationally known confections, Luna Delights. And so, with this last colorful glimpse of this paradise on the Moon, we take our leave of the Reunion of the Class of 1946. CLASS POLK Now that our work is over And our long hard task is done Vie can march proudly forward Happy and content - each one. To seek new fields of interest And joys to suit our needs. To live at peace with others And to do all good deeds. We've spent mang joyous days Gay we've been in many ways We've risen to the goal we sought Yet to our studies given thought. Ever we'll hold near to us Memories of days gone by. Pray that in the years to come Our ambitions will never die.

Many enjoyable games were played and there was dancing. Later on, when the party broke up, we were allowed to go into the gymnasium to the big dance. We have had a few class officers' meetings and have discussed plans for future parties and events. The class soccer team did not make out very well this year but we put up plenty of opposition.

Miss Goodwin, in recognition of the fine work she has done on our yearbook during the last ten years. This year, since the mimeograph was unfit for yearbook production, the Cwl had to be c mmerclally printed, necessitating much extra work on the pert of the Staff. Also, due to the costs of producing our yearbook, several title pages must unfortunately be left out. However, the co-op-eration of the student body has made it possible to substitute additional pa es of snapshots for these expensive title pages. This year, the members have been asked to keep account of the time each one has spent on work for the Owl. It will be interesting to know the number of man-hours of work it takes to produce such a yearbook. William Hamilton '49 26 1 9 £ YEAR EDITCRS-IN-CHIEF OF THE CWL 1922 Agnea Innea (Lit. Ed.)

Marilyn Hurley '19 ASSEMBLIES 35 Many assemblies have been held during the school year, of which the first important one was an Armistice Day assembly held on November 9, 1945. The American Legion had charge of the program under the direction of Mr. Byers. There were also speakers from other districts of the American Legion. At a series of assemblies during the year members of the Senior class gave readings. The first of these was held on November 21, at which time the eighth grade presented two songs to conclude the program. Just before the Christmas holidays a Christmas program was held on December 21. The Glee Club sang, and a play, Christmas in Many Lands, was given by the seventh and eighth grades. Cn Friday, February 22, the American Legion oratorical contest was held. First prize of five dollars went to Mary Roberts, second of three dollars went to Patsy Dimaria, and third prize of two dollars to James Kennedy. Others participation in the contest were Dorothy Ruggie, Frances Kakowski, Thomas Skulski, Richard Hoyt. Paul Haddon officiated as master of ceremonies. In the near future, more assemblies will be held. These are only a few of the more important ones which have been of interest to the school. Betty Wilson '49 THE CHEERLEADERS This year the cheerleaders were all senior girls except Bbb Antcil, a sophomore boy. It has been several years that we have been fortunate enough to have a boy cheerleader, and it was gratifying to see one in action again. The cheerleaders were: Florence Luboyeski Mary Roberts Betty Ann Monahan Gay Brazee Frances Fakowski Thurza Delliber Robert Antcil This year new uniforms were bought. The girls wore brown skirts and bcleras with gold blouses, while Bob wore a gold shirt, a brown tie, and brown trousers. The cheerleaders were one of the best coached squads in the state and really showed their training in cheering the team to so many victories. Many new cheers were introduced this year with the sq lad doing cartwheels and other stunts which added life and color to their performances. The cheerleaders and their coach, Mrs. Eleanor M. Fagerquist, deserve much credit for their splendid work. Marilyn Brown '47 SPORTS 37 THOMASTON HIGH SCHOOL SOCCER '45 This year Thomaston High School completed a successful soccer campaign, winning four games, losing two, and tying two. The team got off to a flying start by defeating Watertown and Newington by 3-2 scores in two exciting, well played, contests. However, in the following two games the team figuratively hit the rocks by losing to both Litchfield and Watertown by 2-0 scores. They quickly redeemed themselves, however, by beating Forman 3-1 and tying Litchfield who had previously beaten them. The second meeting with Newington ended in a smashing 5-0 victory. This, the 1945 edition of the Thomaston Soccer Team was definitely led by Dave Potter, fancy kicking center half back, who starred both offensively and defensively. By kicking a goal against Forman he became the first half back to turn his neat trick in over two years, and his outstanding defensive play against Litchfield earned Thomaston a tie. Offensively Thomaston was led by Patsy Dimaria, line brilliant and high scorrer, who captained his team to a successful season and sixteen goals, five more than its opponents. Also to be singled out are Edward Tycenski, long-kicking, bruising fullback, and Thomaston's new coach, Mr. Norman Fagerquist. The high spot of the season came in the first Newington game when Thomaston twice came from behind to win, the deciding goal being made in the last minute of the final quarter. The climax of this winning campaign was the final game of the year when the team overwhelmed Forman. The outlook for next yeur seems exceedingly bright as but five members will be lost through graduation. Walter Robinson '46 CLASS SOCCER Class soccer this year proved to be more of a success than during preceding years because of a larger game schedule. It consisted of four beams each playing six games. The classes represented were seventh, 3ighth, ninth, and'tenth grades. The eighth graders were the champions, winning all their games by ;onvincing scores. The ninth and tenth tied for second place, while the eventh grade ended up in last place. The games were played after school at 4:P.M. and were refereed by )oys from the varsity team.

This team concluded a highly successful season by finishing second in the Western Connecticut Conference League and by entering and winning a game in the class C tournament at Hartford or the first time in eight years. By winning eleven out of sixteen contests the team smashed all previous scoring records set by Thcmaston High School teams. One of these records was set by Ed Tycenski, Thomaston'a six feet-twc pivot man, who has caused plenty of attention due to his uncanny ability to drop in double deckers from the bucket position. Ed, a Sophomore ordinarily weighing 210 pounds, dropped in 189 points during the regular season. In the forecourt we have Tommy Lyons, a phenomenal Freshman who racked up over 100 points daring the regular season. His running mate, fast-breaking Captain Harry Innes, also scored over 100 points. This is significant, for it marks the first time in Thomaston High's basketball history that three men have each scored over 100 points. In the backcourt Thomaston was fortunate in having three good guards, namely, Jim Kennedy, Patsy Dimaria, and Bob MacQuarrie. Because of their equal ability these three players had to be alternated in the backcourt. Patsy Dimaria, smallest man on the squad, is known as a demon defensive player and his ability to keep going for four periods has been one of the prime factors in the success of the Fagerquist men. The other two parts of the trio, Jim Kennedy and Bob MacQuarrie, used on their speed and playmaking ability to make the varsity click. Not to be left out is Charlie Small, a capable reserve, who broke Into the lineup with great regularity. These fellows piled up 581 points, setting a new high for a Thomaston team. At the tournament Thomaston trounced Portland 35-30 in its opening game. The team won handily, at one time having a 13 point lead. However, in its second outing, the team drew Tourtolotte, who later reached the semi-finals, and was defeated 32-28 on foul shots. Thomaston, however, out-scored their rivals 13 to 10 from the floor. Eats off to Coach Norman Pagerquist, a nice guy as well as a capable and clever coach, who will have an excellent squad ready for next year. 1945-Basketba11-1946 Thomaston 25 Watertown 24 tr 33 n 21 ft 45 Litchfield 21 ft 51 it 26 ft 55 .

Jack Atwood '50 TRACK-1946 lor the past few years we have not had a track team here in Thomas-ton, but this year we have organized one under the coaching of Hr. Fasquariello and the managment of Daniel Lyons. Near the end of Larch we called the first practice to which about sixteen toys came out. Since then we have arranged dual meets with Washington, Sacred Heart, and Horris. On Hay 8, we expect to have a quadrangular meet at Litchfield, and late in Kay we plan to enter the C.T.A.C. meet at Yale Field in Nev. Haven. At these meets we shall com-pe„e In all contests except the javelin and the discus throw. Up to now ve do not row whether we shall compete in the mile because according to present school rules anyone running in the mile must be eighteen years old or over. J be Although it is too early to make predictions shaping up rather well. the team appears to Daniel Lyons '48 DISILLUSION 46 For two months I had been preparing for my vacation at Camp——. (I can't mention the name, for it might lead to legal difficulties.) I had bought new clothes and shoes and had packed them two weeks before I had planned to leave. I Just couldn't wait to get there. Everything was going to be wonderful. I had gotten a folder which described the camp and its activities. It also had pictures, which, of course,were taken with the sole purpose of winning you over to the idea of going there. This folder described the horseback riding, which was supposed to be excellent, and the overnight canoe trips, which, I was sure, would be fun. A beautiful picture of a lake was on the cover. There were rowboats and canoes sailing on it. It also showed a swimming pool. This was the most interesting to me as swimming is my favorite sport. But how was I to know that there were watersnakes and blood suckers to contend with while swimming? I left the week of August 12th with two friends who shall be anonymous, as they want nothing printed to remind them of this place. My father took us up in our car, and upon our arrival, we looked about the strange place with a feeling of deflation. Were those mon-3trocities sprawled in the corner of the field supposed to be horses? To me they looked like moth-eaten carpet bags. And the swimming pool] Why that was nothing but an overflowed mud puddle. But we thought we had better not say anything until we had seen the rest of the camp. Ah, yesJ Hie rest of the camp, but where was it? We soon found that It wasn't. There was nothing but a few tents scattered here and there that would probably fall over in the next strong wind. Although there were many discouraging and disappointing things about the camp, we did notice a few things that interested us. In particular, there were a few of the opposite sex whom we caught a glimpse of every now and then. Besides the tents, the only real building was the mess hall and it was a messJ This brings us to the subject of food. In order to give you an idea of the food we were served, I will quote a song that was sung by some of my friends. ”lhe rolls we get at —------ They say are really fine. One rolled off the table. And killed a pal of mine.” This verse is one from ten, all similar. The food wasn't really bad; Just not fit to eat. At night when I got ready for bed in pitch darkness. I got a queer feeling in the pit of my stomach. I couldn't understand at first why, but later it dawned on me: I was hungryj The worst part of night was climbing Into wet clammy sheets. As it was damp all the time, there wasn't a thing to do about it. One night after I had started off to sleep, there was a terrifying scream from the next tent. It seems that a skunk had wandered into the tent, and had settled itself on the counselor's cot. But in spite of all the excitement, no damage was done. Even my tentmates were a little loose in the head. One in particular thought that she could sing and every night before bedtime we would sit around the campfire and listen to her murder the Italian Street Song. Before one week was up, I was ready to go home. I had planned to stay for two weeks, but, under the circumstances, thought it best to go home before I was a complete ruin. My friends agreed 'with me and we decided to end it all. DISILLUSION ( cont’d ) 47 We wrote home and asked our parents to come and get us Sunday. On Wednesday of the following week, it was planned that we should go on a ten mile hike over the mountain, all the more reason for us to go home Sunday. When our parents finally came, we ran to our tent, packed our clothes and possessions, and piled into the family wreck. Of course, everyone was sorry to see us leave. Ihey wanted to go, too. With our faces beaming and our hearts full of Joy, we pulled out of dear old Camp —------—-. That night before going to bed, I offered up a little prayer for those we had left behind, and solemnly vowed never to go to camp, any camp, again.

Robert McQuarrie '47 A PRAYER OF THANKSGIVING It has been four long years since our last peacetime Thanksgiving here in America but in other countries of this sane world it has been much longer. I nFrance, China, and England, Thanksgiving will bring many prayers from the hearts of our fellow humans thanking the good Lord for all the gifts He has bestowed upon mankind. They will give thanks for their beds, and their homes; for their remaining families and their countries; for their rights which have been returned t6 them; for the right to speak and write, to worship as they please; for the ease in their hearts of the fear of bombs, invadors, and conquerors. All mankind will find many reasons to kneel and pray to God in Thanksgiving. 1 think, however, that the most thanks will be found in the hearts of the mothers whose sons have been returned to them alive and well. True that hundreds of young men have died in protecting our country from Hitler and Hirohito. Many have lost their loved ones, but they will be thankful for the lives of those who have been spared. They know that the fraction of the human race who have helped to make the world a happier, more prosperous place to live in for the future generations of life, will be rewarded in the next life. Ruth Wiggins '48 THANKSGIVING- 1945 Another Thanksgiving has come our way and we give thanks to Him this day, For love and victory, freedom and peace from a war we thought would never cease. But now that that it's ended- this war and strife- and we can forsee a happy life, Yde want to say as kneel and pray-Thank you, God, for this Thanksgiving day. Shirley Sanderson '47 GOD'S WILL God gave me hands for doing work. He gave me legs to walk with. He gave me eyes, nose, ears, and mouth. To see, smell, hear, and calk with. But these are of no use to me, Or even to you, my brothers, Unless we have the mind and brain To help control the others. Margaret Blake '48 50 REFEREEIN0 A BASKETBALL GAME You strut out onto the floor amid great applause, you turn and smile only to find that the applause is not for you but for one of the captains who has just stepped onto the floor also. Before the crowd realises what a foolish thing you have done, the whistle blows and the game has begun. The ball goes from end of the floor to the other, you dash back and forth, trying to watch the ball and all the players at the same time. You call a foul here and a foul there. Each time you call one, someone from the bleachers calls, You're nuts, or, You need glasses, or something to that effect. Ybu keep dashing around and at last the whistle blows: the half -what a relief! Ten minutes of complete rest. As you step off the floor, one of the coaches wants to know why you called this foul or that one. Finally you have answered all the questions and sit down to rest. Just at this moment the substitutes start coming towards you to report. When you think that you have them all straight, the whistle blows for the game to continue. You are positive that number five did not report, so you blow yon whistle and shout, Tebhnical foul, but the coach of that team promptly tells you that number five has been in the game since the beginning. After stuttering and stammering, you apologize and the game begins again. From the cheers of the crowd you can tell that the score is close. But there is no time to look at the scoreboard. You call more fouls and more baskets are made. You are very tired when finally the whistle blows. The game is overl Thank heavens! As you stagger off the floor, the scorekeeper signals to you and you walk over to the desk to find out what he wants. He then tells you that the score is tied and the teams will have to play three more minutes!

A dark cloud with its watery folds now meets the farmer's eye. And mutterings indistinct are heard along the western sky. The hay goes on the rack so fast that John cries, Father stop. And let me lay the corners out and bend them on the top! Then standing in the grateful shade beneath the apple bough. The farmer wipes the sweat again from off the brow.

A painted bow appears and spans the eastern sky. Herman Glass '47 Accepted for publication in the Anthology of High School Poetry 52 TIE TULIP FESTIVAL One day our family went to Pella, Iowa, to attend the annual tulip festival. It was a very special day for us as we had never before been to such a celebration. The people of Pella are mostly Dutch, either by descent or birth. Hie safety zones of the streets in Pella are tulip gardens. Every yard has a tulip bed surrounding it. The tulip arrangements are different and very becoming. The shutters, doors, and roofs of the houses are usually the color of tulips-either red, red-orange or just brown. The festival around was bordered with a tulip bed and a cement oath, and there was a number of chairs in th$ center of the ground. A few minutes after we had parked our car, the parade started. It was led by a United States i.avy band consisting of sailors and waves. Kext came the orphans. They were mostly girls and boys between the ages of three and eight years, dresse in Dutch party-clothes. The smaller girls pushed doll carriages, and the other girls and boys rode bicycles, the smaller boys just paraded alon pushing the carriages with the girls. After the orphans, came the townsfolk. They were dressed in everyday Dutch clothes. After the parade the Tulip Queen was crowned. She was dressed in a formal white gown and had a sort of veil on her head. The former Queen took off the golden crown and presented it to the new Queen. After the coronation, there came a musical interlude. The spectators listened to the music while t e townspeople cleared the streets. After the streets were cleared of automobiles, bicycles, etc., a big tub was placed on the curb. The townspeople then filled the tub with water which they carried in buckets or yolks. Then came the street cleaners. They scrubbed the streets with brushes and mops until it almost shone. After the festival ended, we went over to the Sunken hardens. There is a pond in the center and there were two white swans on this pond. A concrete pa-h goes around it and there are tulip gardens scattered about. To the right of the pond is a wind-mill where we had our pictures taken. After this we went to a Dutch diner and had a light meal. -n the afternoon we went exploring around Telia. My sister saw numerous pairs of Dutch shoes in a store window. Vue went in and my brother and sister each bought a pair of shoes. The stores in town didn't have any shoes that would fit me, so I went home with twelve Tulip Festival postcards and two tulips. Claire Thelin '49 QUIET TOWN Quiet town. Yet full of surprises— Pretender to size and fame. Dressed in your robe of Sunday quiet all week long.

Judy Hutchinson ’47 Honorable Mention--National High School Poetry Association Accepted for publication in the Anthology of High School Poetry BIRCH 1REES Someone told me once that each birch tree was a soul. A lost soul which could live no place but in a tree. And each tree bore upon it the black marks of past sins. Placed there for the world to see. And when the wind starts playing, you can hear the dryads of the trees singing a dirge. Sad music sung by sad souls. With no place to be-but in a tree. Judy Hutchinson ’47 SLEEPING OUTDOORS Sleeping outdoor is an adventure in which you take your life into your own hands. You start out early in the morning laden with about fifty pounds of equipment. At the end of one mile that fifty pounds has mysteriously grown into a hundred, and at the end of the day—oh, boylJ Has anyone a pack mule? After a long trek you settle down to make camp. You dump your pack on the ground and go to find some wood for your camp fire. None that is dry is to be found, so you bravely set out to make a fire with wet wood. All you see is great billowy clouds of smoke. But, as they say, where there is smoke there is fire.So you finally cook your meal. About ten o’clock you fall into your sleeping bag and make a vain effort to get some sleep. You are about to doze off when some giant of an ant crawls into your bag and, can it bite] After a futile search, you find that it must have gone when you started your search. After a while you go back to sleep again. Then you hear a snapping of underbrush out in the woods. You start thinking about that murder story that you heard the other night. You wonder what it is out there, when you finally see(and smell) a skunk. Ah] Finally peace reigns again. Then suddenly and blankly you fall asleep. Only to be awakened by the pitter-patter of little rain drops on your sleeping bag. The next morning, after a practically sleepless night, you set out again, only this time its in the direction of home. Treking home, wet, dejected, and worn out, you are waiting for some wise guy to pop out and say, Did you have a pleasant journey? Brother]! He would find out with two rights to the Jaw] Thomas Kelleher ’48 THUNDER CLOUDS The thunder clouds are floating high, With their misty colors against darkened sky, Gettin darker all the time, With the wind mourning a frightful whine. Out in the distance lightening is flashing And God's creatures to shelter are dashing. Then comes the torrential rain. Driven against my window pane, Falling, falling from the darkened sky. The thunder clouds are floating by, With misty colors against the darkened sky. Until the last drops have fallen from on high.

Lleanor Bereza '48 On Looking For a Job One fine day in 19-- I decided to go out into the world in search of a position that might oossibly keep r.y pockets jingling a little more often. As I went from office to office, staring and being stared at by orospective bosses, I decided that this wasn't the way at all, that there must be an easier way. Why sh oul I I waste my time, effort, and shoe leather like this? There just must be an easier way. Just as there are lawyers to handle cases of law ani managers to hanile the affairs of a business, I knew there must be an a ent somewhere in t.;is world, some kind of genius, who could handle ry affairs for me. Why, if there was, I could sit back in ry easy-chair and just wait for my agent to call me and inform me that he had found a job that would pay, say jlOO a week. I lay awake one ni ,ht thinking about it. I looked up in reference books, stormed the libraries over and over, looking through files and drawers of material. I vowed I would find some reference to an agency that might be of some help to me. When I was through at the end of each day, I was literally shoved out of the library by the librarian. Then one day, by accident, I ran across ar ad in the paper for a young woman with some experience for fourth secretary in the I’.Y.l.A. I had no idea, of course, what these letters’might refer to. I was too anxious to wonder. I hurried down to the address on the ad, ard of three women anplicants, I was hurriedly chosen as fourth secretary, he liked rv looks, the man said, and comparer myself with the otter girls in the office, I took that as a compliment.

A score and eighteen years she's lain Upon her final bed. And only God himself could count r!he tears that he has shed. The rass has grown between the graves. And a bird has b;ilt it's ne3t Up in 'lie tree that stands beside This place of peace and rest. And every day before the sun Sinks dov.n behind the hill. And all the birds are silent Except the whip-poor-will, Fe takes his daily journey Through the sunset's fading light and kneels before the grassy grave To bid his love good-night. Lleanor Bereza '48 On Looking For a Job One fine day in 19-- I decided to go out into the world in search, of a position that might nossibly ee? rv pockets jingling a little more often. As I went from office to office, staring and being stared at by orospective bosses, I decided that this wasn't the way at all, that there must be an easier way. V hy sh oul 2 I waste my time, effort, and shoe leather like this? There just must be an easier way. Just as there are lawyers to handle cases of law an i managers to hanile the affairs of a business, I knew there must be an a ent somewhere in this world, some kin of genius, who could handle ry affairs for me. Why, if there was, I could sit back in ry easy-chair and just wait for my agent to call me and inform me that he had found a job that would pay, say jlOO a week. I lay awake one night thinking about it. I looked up in reference books, stormed the libraries over and over, looking through files and drawers of material. I vowed I would find some reference to an agency that might be of some help to me. Y hen I was through at the end of each day, I was literally shoved out of the library by the librarian. Then one day, by accident, I ran across an ad in the paper for a young woman with some experience for fourth secretary in he I.Y.h.A. I had no idea, of course, what these letters’ might refer to. I was too anxious to wonder. I hurried down to the address on the ad, and of three women aoplicants, I was hurrielly chosen as fourth secretary, he liked my looks, the man said, and compar'lnx myself with the other girls in the office, I took that as a compliment. It was just five minutes later that I walked out of the office to find I was now in the emoloy of the NEW YOFK LFPLOYFEUT nGLNCY.
