The phantom Speeksu On a lovely evening in May of 1956, I sat in the waiting room of the Grand Central Station awaiting the arrival of my friend and rival in the writing profession. We were to leave on the 9:15 Limited for our homes in New Castle, Pa. Ten years ago, on our graduation eve, Wanda and I had made a vow to attend the graduation exercises of the class of '56 regardless of where we were. Amidst the hustle and bustle of the crowd, I recognized a familiar face coming through the crowd, it was Wanda. Hello there! How's the writing coming along ? My latest writing had caused a riot among uniformed men. We nervously waited for our train and to cool our nerves we de- cided to buy some magazines. Imagine our surprise when we found Walter Bistyga smiling at us from behind the counter. Being very pleased at seeing an old schoolmate, we chatted amiably until our train came roaring down the tracks. As we walked down the aisle to our seats, we recognized a familiar figure. It was that of Percy Mauney, deeply engrossed in a book about the theory of Brain Surgery. He was a recent graduate of Johns Hopkins and was going to specialize in brain surgery. The train was rolling merrily along and, as we ran out of conversation, we picked up our magazines and commenced to glance through them. Suddenly, Wanda exclaimed, Rosemary, here is a picture of Donna Bart- lett. She is now a model in the John Robert Power's Agency. Remember how immaculate she always was at school ? I am sure you remember Frank Kuhn. I read in the New York Times that he has re- cently been married for the tenth time. I rather thought he would beat Tommy Man- ville. Wanda remarked that he certainly didn't change. Leafing through the magazine, I discov- ered a photograph of Adeline Petrella. She is in the employment of Herbert Shaffer, who has finally patented his Curly-Q Hair Curl- ers. It is about time he gave the secret of his curly hair. The picture of Dolly is shown as the before using Curly-Q Hair Curlers. Richard Buchanan has become a million- aire. He perfected a stay-awake tablet and sold them in the theater where Charles Cook was leading man in What a Ham. In the sport section of one of the maga- zines there was an article about Wimp Anna- rella. She is now the football coach of the Hrst professional women's team. As we both received the New Castle News edited by Margery Rohrer, we knew that Delores Hartzell is now chaperon at Swing Lobby. When she said she liked it, she meant it. Rhoda Ezzell is now manager of Isaly's. She became so attached to that store, she just couldn't leave. The fatality rate is very high in New Castle. Could Mary Alice Boyd's Driving Institution have anything to do with it? Just the other day Donald Bees was seriously in- jured by an automobile driven by Leo Calla- han, one of Mary Alice's students, who claimed he couldn't see Don crossing the street. They rushed him to the hospital in an ambulance driven by Vincent Patton. An emergency operation was performed by Dr. Delores Broschart with the aid of nurse Maxine Hollerman. Incidentally, Don re- covered and is now bell boy at the Castleton Hotel, while Leo runs the elevator there. Shirley Hassig and Mildred Golonka are running a date bureau. Their best custo- mers are Irene Dubrasky and Audrey Ham- mers who are still single, and is that sur- prising! Irene and Audrey have an acro- batic act together which is quite good. Clara Zombek has taken over her sister's position at the bank. Remind me to remove my money from that certain bank. Sam Badila is now the screen's greatest romantic hero. Sometime after school got out he kissed a girl and found out it wasn't so bad. What jolted him awake? Clara Minetti is now cashier at Palmers. She broke so many dishes they had to give her that position to keep out of bankruptcy. Shirley Wolfbrandt is still making trips to the office. She has the position of truant officer of Union Township. Nancy Spellick is now employed as a sales-
