The Senior Year Book — 19.34 between himself and his two fellow workers by saying that he isn’t sure anyone would miss them very much. Geneva, Switzerland. Albert Glazier, mountain climber, will take a tourist across the Alps at a very reasonable price. If the person is in an accident and is hurt, Mr. Glazier charges half-price, and, in case of death of the individual, he absolutely refuses to accept any fee. Canton, Ohio. Ambrose Kenney, fire chief, last week called out his trucks to go to a forest fire. Arriving on the scene, however, he and his men found only Parks Toolin looking for bugs to dissect in his laboratory. Mr. Toolin is requested to wear a hat hereafter. Westgrove, Penn. Carle Morrill, one of our eminent citizens, was today seized by a strange fit in which he insisted he was Pythagoras. He was finally quieted and agreed that he really must take a rest from his advanced study of mathematics. Miss Dorothy Nelson, who has been engaged in the same field, now bids fair to outdo Mr. Morrill, since she shows no such dangerous symptoms. Westerly, R. I. The two partners, Henry and William Clarke, have been prevailed upon to open a branch department store here. They doubt if they will sell men’s clothing, since they are unwilling to monopolize the trade of Herman and Victor Panciera, local tailors. But their salesladies, Virginia Cataldo, Emma Azzinaro, and Nellie Adamo, will sell practically everything else. Combine P. H. Opie’s, L. Solomon’s and the Five and Ten, and you have Clarke and Clarke, nation-wide retailers. Louisville, Ky. After the teachers’ convention held here last Saturday, Betty Crandall, Physical Education teacher, met Angelina Matarese, teacher of French, with whom she went to the home of Florence Saunders, Algebra teacher, who called up Kathryn Campbell, teacher of English, asking her to come to meet and confer with them. Adelaide Spicer, principal of the school in which they all teach, was thoroughly talked over, discussed, and criticized and a good time was had by all, including Miss Spicer, since she knew nothing whatsoever about it. Providence, R. I. Rose Stillman, architect, is planning to design a new high school in place of Classical High which burned down last week. By the way, some suspicious individuals are inquiring as to who burned down the old building. Westerly, R. I. Chief of Police Charles Cofone announced today that due to heavy traffic in Dixon House Square, Douglas Dion will be stationed there during the busiest times, Sunday mornings, particularly. New York City, N. Y. Harold Barber was almost elected mayor here today, the only drawback being that he did not run. There is little doubt that with Mr. Barber’s host of friends, including Edmund Booth and John Trontales, prominent business men, he would have succeeded in winning the election if he had been a candidate. At any rate, Miss Palma Moscaritolo has been very kindly informed by Mr. Barber that, if he were mayor, he would hire her as his private secretary and Miss Mary Nardone and Miss Annie Pizza as assistants. Mr. Barber evidently expected to have a huge correspondence. London, England. Mr. Richard Leon announces that he has discovered a new star, which, added to the three stars, five planets, and nine constellations he has already brought to light, makes quite a collection. Washington, D. C. Hugo Waters, porter on a train, was surprised yesterday when Miss Marguerite Crandall, poetess, rushed up to him and breathlessly pleaded that the train be stopped. When this was done, she calmly seated herself and proceeded to write a poem about the surrounding scenery. Mr. Waters’ remonstrances were interruptetd by Thomas Douglas, who strolled up to ask the cause of the delay. Mr. Douglas, being a comedian, saw the humor of the situation and urged Miss Crandall to continue. About this time Dorothy Oulette and Josephine Peters, recent brides, came up, accompanied by their husbands. Upon their insistence. Miss Crandall completed the poem, which may be read in this evening’s “Star.” Adrian, Mich. A great interest is evinced in Miss Ellen Crowther, fortune teller, newly arrived in town. It seems that she prophesied that Mary DeBar-tolo would inherit a fortune, that Annette Van Bramer would meet her future husband while traveling in Europe, and that Sylvia Rindell would be disappointed in love, all of which have come true. Ruth Kenyon is seriously consid- —•§( 18)8 —

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 ►-

The Senior Year Book — 19.14 ering consulting this wise seeress as to whether the certain dark young man who has offered her his heart has a bank account as large as he professes his heart to be. Even in that case she may not accept him because Arlene Kellar, spinster, has almost persuaded her that no man’s heart is true. Westerly, R. I. Elsie Phillips, famous screen star, is spending the weekend in this town and during that period is staying at the select boarding house for single ladies kept by Marion Moshier. Accompanying Miss Phillips is her private secretary and companion, Maybelle Ingham. May Smith, reporter, interviewed the actress and the first installment of a biography will appear in The Sun on Monday evening. Binghamton, N. Y. Mr. Benjamin Turrisi, by his invention of a window shade that will not wear out, has aroused hard feelings between himself and the partners, George Andrews and Patsy Perri, who are engaged in selling window shades. Mr. Perri stated today that if Mr. Turrisi persists in making such inventions, he will ruin business and will eventually cause such a depression as has not been heard of since the one experienced way back in 1929. New Haven, Conn. Alex Kizeik, against the wishes of his family, has joined the circus, where he may perform his death defying stunts without possibility of opposition. He has tried to persuade Anthony Narciso to go with him, but as Mr. Narciso says, “Why should I join a circus and sing about life on the range when I can actually experience it working on Herbert Barnes’s ranch?” Westerly, R. I. Mr. Charles Bruno says: Progress means change. Change from Westerly Furniture Co. to Bruno’s Home of Modern Furnishings. We cannot fail to satisfy.” Hampton, Iowa. Full speed ahead! Today marks the start of the “Hundred Mile Walking Marathon,” Misses Marion and Rose Hoadley racing against time and Miss Laura Freitas. A good deal of speculation is being indulged in concerning the outcome. The question is: Have the Hoadleys an advantage in that two can walk faster than one, or will one impede the speed of the other?” Indianapolis, Indiana. Miss Margaret Drennan was recently engaged as model by Eileen Browning, fashion expert. Men are now hinting to their wives that they would not object to attending the fashion shows hereafter. Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. “When in doubt go to Burdick’s Hat Shop.” If Mildred Burdick herself is not there, her assistant, Miss Virginia Panciera, will gladly show you the latest styles, whch, like the styles ten years ago, in 1934, are very tiny, cover only one ear, and, in short, are as unbecoming as possible. St. Louis, Mo. William Thompson announced his engagement in this evening’s paper, thereby publishing the fact that one more has submitted to life servitude. His friend, Tony Gradilone, who entered upon a similar venture a year ago, shakes his head and sighs pityingly when he passes the future bridgegroom. Toledo, Ohio. Mr. George Carson is advertising for a new chef, Charles Link, who formerly filled that position in his restaurant, having left his employ to work for Mr. Joseph Kaskewsky in the same capacity. Rumor has it that Mr. Kaskewsky offered more money. Besides that, he employs some very charming waitresses. Westerly, R. I. Miriam Willard has opened on High Street a dressmaking establishment which specializes in costumes for all occasions. One of her customers, a Mrs. Blank, formerly Mary Popiolek, recently purchased there an unusually attractive costume for her small son to wear to a party. Miss Willard also supplied outfits for Miss Ethel Wills and Miss Marguerite Simmons lor Friday’s professional women’s basketball game in which they established their fame. If any are interested in prices, they can find them in the Daily News, published by Miss Ethel Solo-veitzik. We know from authoritative sources that Miss Willard, in loyalty to her Alma Mater, will make special prices for any of her old classmates. And that, friends of the radio audience, concludes our broadcast until next year at this same time. Station W. H. S. of the Blue and White network signing off at exactly 9:30.
