The Senior Year Book — 1934 (Claim IJrnpIimj IF you turn on your radio at 9:00 p. m. June 22, 1944, you will hear something like this: Ladies and gentlemen, this is Station WHS broadcasting over the Blue-and-White network, by authority of the Alumni Radio Commission of America. We now present the latest news flashes coming to you direct from our studio in White Rock. Peter Olcowich, famous explorer, was recently led astray by his guide, Albert Gervasini, and fell into the hands of hostile savages. A young missionary worker, Miss Vivian Morrill, exerted a soothing influence over them, however, and held them at bay until Addison Archie in his airplane landed and executed a daring rescue, with the help of a fellow aviator, Everett Holman. New York City, N. Y. Munroe Graham. theatrical agent, has just dismissed Miss Dorothy Murphey and Miss Frances Johnson, formerly singers in his theatre. Instead, in an effort to revive the old-fashioned songs, he has hired Miss Alice Riley. Boston. Mass. Alex Brown, cartoonist. is being sued by Natale Trebisacci, business man, because of a caricature which the latter resents. Mr. Brown, however, has hired Louis Cappuccio as his lawyer and hopes to win the case. The offending picture appeared in the weekly journal published by Miss Agnes King. Miss King, upon the insistence of Mr. William Price and Miss Eleanor Campbell, who write for the paper, has dismissed Mr. Brown in order to preserve the good name of her journal. Saddle River, N. J. A liner owned bv Lyman Blake was yesterday reported sinking out at sea. Later reports. However, state that all took to the life boats and were picked up by a submarine, captained by Salvatore Frustiere. Among those on board were Evelyn Crandall and Rose Siller, ship hostesses. St. Paul. Minn. A submarine owned by Ralph Merltbew early this morning became entangled with the apparatus of James Richmond, diver, and. severing his connections with his boat, left Mr. Richmond stranded on the bottom of the ocean. The modern diving equipment being very flexible, he walked about until he met Seba Edwards, looking for unusual fish for his aquarium. Mr. Edwards gladly gave Richmond a tow—not, of course, for the purpose of adding him to the before mentioned collection. Buffalo, N. Y. John Laing, banker, was recently rushed to the hospital to undergo a serious operation. During the ordeal, the surgeon, who happened to be Paul Murano, became so unduly interested in the attendant nurse. Miss Elsie Signor, that he made a mistake and removed Mr. Laing’s heart. The error was noticed by Katherine Sullivan, also a nurse, and the missing article was returned. Since Mr. Laing is being extremely unpleasant about the unfortunate mistake, Dr. Murano stated today that the next time a similar accident happens, he will refuse to restore the heart. Chicago, 111. The new beauty shop operated by Miss Margaret Booth advertises low prices and efficient service. Besides that, the assistants, Louise Beau-dreau and Hannah Cross, are always willing to pass away the customer’s time with the latest news. Independence, Ohio. June Maine and Catherine Hepworth have recently returned from France where they were completing their study of French, and they now refuse to talk any other language. Ellsworth Peckham, after an attempt at conversation with them, was forced, due to his ignorance of the language, to retire and find some easier conquest, some one, who, to use his own words, “would talk United States to a poor bachelor.” (By the way, Mr. Peck-ham is considered an exceedingly eligible bachelor.) Paris, France. Mr. Robert Goff objects to being called a “gigolo.” He maintains that if he and Mr. Gencarelli are to earn their daily bread, dancing is as good a way as any. Besides, he asks, what would Prudence Devine do if they gave up their positions as professional dancers in her night club? Mr, Eino Lu-oma, orchestra leader in the same night club, has caused very strained relations - 4 17 ►-
