You will probably remember Paul Woerner as the famous Cowhee (combination of wheat and corn) King. Let us listen in to some of their chatter about old classmates in Tremont High School. Did you hear that Henry 3erry is a mechanic, hav- ing gained his experience working on the old Model A? Two girls are making successful careers as surgical nurses—Nelde Litwiller and Mary Beutel. Just then the doorbell rings. A telegram from the Keller-Lay Dating Bureau announces that it has success- fully provided Bill Manville Garlish with his tenth wife. Good luck this time, Bill! This brings forth a new gush of gossip. Why we thought he was seriously courting the Irish screen beauty, Margaret Callahan, who re- ceived her start as a Powers Model. The party is momentarily inter- rupted by a telephone call. Marilyn Pflederer,concert artist and teacher, is on the wire from New York—seeking information about the Polio Benefit Concert she is doing with Dorothy Ropp Springer. Marilyn’s protege, Kenny Ruth, whom she also helped throughout high school, will conduct the orchestra. A newspaper clipping brought by Dorothy Springer tells the success of Ray Wells and Herbert Knapp in bringing back alive a ssvage woman from the Wild Borneo jungles for Gerald Koch’s circus. Gerald, by the way, is America’s greetest clown, much beloved by all children. The sport’s world has also bene- fited from the Class of 1947. Alvin Papenhause, once captain of the great Tremont Turks, is now an All-Star Pro-football player. Bud Moore, although a great favorite with his lady golf students, is still a happy bachelor. In his spare time he works as a truant officer for Tremont High School. The champion mat-men is Den Hodgson, successor to The Angel.” We have heard that Clifford Schweigert, Wall Street millionaire, is buying a herd of Brown Swiss cattle from Paul Luft,renowned cattle breeder. Harry Hackney, husband of Carol Hasty, is a teacher of chemistry in the college where Wilford Williams successfully received his Master of Science Degree in one month. The party is broken up when Paul Woerner anxiously calls his wife to say that Fitzgerald is lost in the cowhee field. Of course you've heard Betty Mae’s classic crack, 'I’m so cold my goose- pimples are poking holes In my socks I Bill Garlish was asked how he liked school. Oh, just fine, Bill replied. ‘I've learned a lot. Everything not included during the year was covered in the final exams. PO-EM I do not aim For wealth or fame, I’ve other hopes than that. I long to buy Before I die Just one becoming hat ] Dopey Koch’s definition of lipstick: Something that adds color and flavor to my favorite indoor sport. ? 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 r 0 0 0 0 0 0 } 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
