They live in their modest ten-story home at Ithaca. Marilyn Gerdts is fast becoming rich because of her new job as taxidermist at Jim Vanek's Specialty Shop. He specializes in stuffed buffaloes. Mary Ann Chapek completed her senior year by correspondence this June. Senior year of college, that is!

The Greyhound Bus line from VVahoo to Colon and parts north is now operated by Joan Strauss and Elva Kracl who operate a pool hall in conjunction with it. That hot trumpet player, Dale Wurst has replaced Spike Jones at the Copa Cabana in Touhy, Nebraska. With him are Burton Johnson on tuba and Norma Jean Rood as trombonist. Larry Leiber has achieved the heights of education by becoming president of Luther College. Because of his common interests in Luther, he should make a fine, broad-minded president. Dorothy McDaniels has taken over the ownership of the Gibson Enterprises Company, including the City and Fairview Cafes. Carolyn Temple is now the owner of the midwest's largest taxi service. She has charge of hauling Dorothy's waitresses from one- cafe to another. Betty Kavan is business manager for Miss McDanieIs and also is chief wedding cake and wedding dance arranger.

' Jean Woolsey is now performing on television on Saturday nights from New York. As champion women's wrestler, she has wrestled in Oslo, Nebraska, near Weston. Carolyn Cameron's ability to get along with persons has been the leading factor in her choice of a professional business career which she is now pursuing in Paris, France. I won't say what she is pursuing. Ray Keefer opened a bachelor's home last Tuesday. Because of his hatred and shyness toward women, he finds it both enjoyable and profitable. However, guests are always made welcome-they are met at the door and immediately served with pretzels and kool-aid.

Although the Chieftain staff members soon recovered from before-issue fatigue and from nervousness, to them, each issue represented long hours, days, and even weeks of deliberate planning and preparation. The faculty advisor, al- ways ready with sound advice and guidance, and the efficient editor, planned each issue. The articles not only had to be written but also typed and retyped by Miss Doty's competent typists, made into a dummy copy, and stenciled. Car- toons and headlines were added before it could be mimeographed. This opera- tion was accelerated and made much easier by the addition of a new mimeo- graph machine during the year. After it was distributed came the gratifying reward. As students praised an article or complimented a staff member, the long wearisome hours and many sacrifices were forgotten. However, this feeling of carefree relief was soon cut short as Work on the next issue began. The seven issues of the Chieftain Staff were an accurate record of the years activities.
