THE VAN OF 1932 J - ,, , , I ed director. We watched the rehearsal for the new picture, The Mil- lion Dollar Baby , starring Yvonne Parkhurst, who in reality was my old friend, Helen Price. We didn't fail to notice the sparkling diamond on her left hand and, upon questioning her, we learned of her engagement to the director. The next day we made an appointment at the Rosebud Beauty Shoppe and to our surprise found that Florence Ruark was the proprietor. It was at this popular shoppe that the movie stars received their treatments so we felt that we could risk a marcel and manicure. Before we left the shoppe Florence asked me if I would like to have my face lifted and if I would care to purchase a wig, thus plainly insinuating that I needed both. In San Diego we met our former school mate, Freddie Hillman, who is now the owner of a large glue factory. He surely was sticking to the job! I suppose all the readers of this article are acquainted with the fact that he is also the World's Champion Heavy-Weight. It was during our visit in Florida that we again met with some of our old school friends. It had always been my desire to attend the Uni- versity of Florida so while we were in the vicinity of this school we de- cided to see the place. Upon our entrance in the main building we were looking over the list of professors and were astonished to see the name, Clyde Mathis at the head of the list. He had gained one of the high- est positions possible in this college. Farther down this list, under the athletic instructors, was the name of Irwin Landis, whom we found to be held in high esteem by all officials and students. We engaged in a good conversation with these two friends and were astonished when Clyde broke the news that he was married. At this particular time his wife was in the hospital following an attack of ap- pendicitis, and although his wife was a stranger to us, we paid our re- spects by visiting her. While we were at this beautiful Methodist Hos- pital we met Della Pell, a superintendent and nurse of the highest de- gree. She seemed very happy with her position and chatted with us about her patients. As we had met and visited with all of our old school chums we de- parted for home with a feeling of happiness. Upon our return home this feeling of happiness was changed into one of utter disappointment when the eminent lawyers, Johnson and Irwin, called to inform us that the Rockerbilt will was not valid, thus we two old maids were left penniless and desperate. We are still penniless but no longer old maids ! -Wilma Mathis Gosh, Fm sleepy! -Thelmoa Page fifty

J THE VAN OF 1932 CLASS PGEM We, the Senior Class of thirty-two, Are as happy as can be. We're full of ideals and ambitions, but We only number twenty-three. Iva isn't so bashful this year, And in math -how she does shine. In running her future bakery shop, We feel that she'l1 succeed just fine. Irwin is our blue-eyed blond , Who shoots his goals from afar. We hope that some day he will be A famous basketball star. In the Skillet Brigade, Milly has full sway, And her reign will ever be supreme, So you see, Peck will get lots of good food, When he weds our dark-eyed Kitchen Queen. Did you ever read of our author? Yes, it's our faithful Della Pell. For two years and a half as president, She ruled us wisely and well. Paul Frost is our Lochinvar , With manners exceedingly polite. 'He never shirks his duties But argues for what is right. We can never forget our Woody Who greets all with a smile. But deep down in his fun-loving nature There's a bit of seriousness, once i a while. n Wilma has fallen for Shorty As one can readily see, And it isn't hard to imagine What her future life will be. Kibby- I want some poetical license so I can talk as I please Page fifty-two
