Leon Puscedu. and Pauline Farrell. I started out on the census. My notebook fell open at the C’s. There was Frances Carris—occupation, truck driver, and Mary Ann Coleman, history teacher. Huh? Jack Carman, manager of a super-market, and Tillie Fotorny running the Baby Mart. Dolores Cook, private secretary to Tony Iannone. She got her training in ’45 while writing to privates. Grant Courtright and Shir- ley Curry, quality furriers and dry cleaners. But time was passing and I had reached my first call. Madeline Zigar was prac- ticing an election speech as I knocked at her door. How’s the presidential cam- paign coming:’'’ I ventured. “Oh. hello. Helen Petrak. Pretty well, thanks. I guess I've covered every town in the U. S. A. and every where members of our class are rallying to my support. Last week I was in Tampa and I nearly died when I walked into the D'Aloisio girls’ funeral parlors. They told me that Fannie Dannibale was coaching college football when they had last heard from her. Then, when I was in Buffalo, I ran into Gerald Norton who has top billing as a trapeze star. Dolores Sweezy and Mary Ann Kremitske are doing a show in the big top with a number of wolves. Alma Neira was doing a magic act in which she made Marian Maxfield disappear. Last week the performance had to be cancelled as Marian had not reappeared. Dorlean Davis and Sophie Pado are running the Hoka Hola concession.’’ “On a flight to Washington the stew-

Fourteen ardess who, by the way, was Mary Fed- orka. told me that Betty DeBarr and Jo Onzik had been grounded by the federal air commissioner. Don Edwards. The dizzy pilots had buzzed the Fabrizio- Gonzalez zoo and scared the elephants pink. Beverly Davies is defending them.” While Madeline paused for breath, I showed her a letter from Norma Ketchum. who handles fan mail for John Leney. Norma had jusr seen Marian Macdaid in Hollywood. Marian is arranging “Moan ing” Mohney’s musical numbers for his new show, “Don't Take It With You. She reports that Myrtle Folkerson is blow- ing bubbles for Corinne Eisenhuth. who is dancing with Loretta Ludington in the current “Swingsation of 1960.” Brother Harvey is trying to manage the girls with the aid of Kenneth Harris. Madeline excused herself to answer a long-distance call from Pat Zicari. her campaign manager. Pat reports trouble with Dave Haskins, who is also having trouble with the girls at Vassar where he is dean. I took time to look around Madeline’s interesting house. On a table lay a couple of new books with the pages still uncut. One was entitled “Don’t Try to Stop Me.” It turned out to be an autobigraphy of Ig Saraceno and was autographed by the au- thor. Another “Anything Did Happen” was a travel book by Eileen Todd and Beverly Tanner. A copy of Mary Ruth White’s new slick paper magazine “Snooze” was tossed on a chair. I opened it and started to read her winner in the year’s most nonsensical editorial contest. Tessie Carman’s cover showed a futuristic- chicken coop designed especially for Bob Balch by Ercell Davis. (Chickens fur- nished by Harold Wargo.) Jack Payne, who is now a dentist, also had an article The Union-Endicott Tiger on bridges he had crossed up. A feature by Charles Putrino was en- titled “T he Three Battaglinis at Bat” or “Who Got the Mitten?” The girls are touring the country with a nine made up of the Bakers, Jones, and Donahues. T he theatre section revealed that Ray Thomp- son is playing Macbeth. He gives credit for the inspiration to the records that he heard in high school. Madeline returned at last but I had to be on my way. I bade her goodbye and met my companions, who had been working on the other side of the street. Horrendous and stupendous were the items they had collected! They disclosed that Nelda Brounstein had returned to Endicott from Sampson where she had spent five years waiting for the sailors to return. She is now clerking in a drug store where Mike Pinkey is manager. Bill Blazey is soda jerk there and Nick Roma and Phil Cleary are jerks too. Eleanor Coccetti and Dar- lene Eldridge are drum majorettes in the cigarette line while Eleanor Baly and Irma Betikofer hand out the beauty advice. Claude Deats is second assistant errand boy. Jane Groover is modeling bobby pins in the front window. We completed our day’s work and on the way back to report we met Joe Cerny and Bob Shae who had just been to the open house of Nick Pack’s new one hun- dred and eight story school building pat- terned after the Leaning Tower. James Stefano is principal. He reported that Jim had hired Arietta McCarthy and Doris Mead to teach there and Fenton McVan- non to be truant officer. Joe Mirra is planning to take a P. G. there. Frances Halchenko is to have complete charge of the cafeteria to succeed Betty Budd. Carl Gydik will do the cooking. Marian Guil- (Continued on Page 22)
