Tun SENIOR YEAR BOOK - 1936 in Westerly last night on his world wide lecture tour, telling of his recent trip to Mars. All the newspapers have been commenting on his thrilling description of the planet. The U. S.: relay team consisting of Harry Brown, Louis and Tony Falcone, and Bart Ferrante have just returned from Spain after having captured first place in the mile. Sam Larkin and Joe Comolli have suf- fered from broken jaws as a result of a sneezing contest held on the Larkin es- tate. George Maggs, the referee, gave the decision to Joe Comolli when the force of the sneeze caused Joe's glass eye to drop out. THIRD WITCH--The famous snake- charmer, Natalie Whitford, recently left on an extended trip for fiercer snakes. She will give her first appearance with these larger, fiercer, more interesting snakes in Radio City. Ruth Dinges, assistant, has taken out more life insurance, as the first act calls for a friendly embrace around her neck of a very long, black, affection- ate snake. The noted historian, Marguerite Beebe, is at present wandering somewhere in the wilds of South America. She is making an extensive study of the early life of the Amazons to settle a dispute between Mary Olcowick and Phyllis Hill, as to whether a woman's place is in the home, or oth- erwise. To the world of sport, Westerly High has contributed one outstanding perform- er. Sir Malcolm Campbell's 300 miles per hour record has recently been smashed. Catherine Harvey made 300 a mere trifle by moving along at 500 miles per hour. Miss Harvey attributes much of her suc- cess to Doris Pierce, mechanic, whose lov- ing care of that engine made it perform so well. FIRST WITCH-It seems that Freder- ick Tourtelotte, that handsome bachelor, has sent a letter to Miss Mary Pucci, col-- umnist. Miss Pucci apparently had writ- ten an article in her column, Advice to Those in Love, and Mr. Tourtellotte has disputed her point of view. Mr. Richard Walthers, press agent for the American League of Miscellaneous Athletics, is ar- guing with Miss Pucci. I see at Ray Bryant's popular Black and Blue Nite Club Thomas Collings, that attractive gigolo about whom all the women are ravingg also, Miss Mary Do- nati, escorted by the only crooning life- guard in existence. Miss Helen Edmonds, bug specialist, has hired the Misses Thel- ma Hill and Elizabeth Grispino, aviatrices, to fly over Boom Bridge and spray the land below with her famous liquid which will kill anything in sight. A warning has been issued to those living in the vi- cinity. The bugs are the first to be leav- mg. SECOND WITCH-Lucy Augeri, whose lack of stature was one of her woes in High School, is capitalizing on it at last. She's joined a troupe of traveling midgets and performs very well. Theresa Gencarelli is extremely priv- ileged, having Iive bosses in th-e persons of the Dionne quintuplets. She handles for these very popular ladies their ex- tremely voluminous mail. The Four Mus- keteers are still together. Mary Federico, Nancy Fiore, Rose Gencarelli, and Palma Nardone are all employed by Eleanor Berado at her Wayside Stand. Eleanor superintends the .kitchen and is rapidly becoming famous for her spaghetti din- ners. THIRD WITCH-Raymond Hoxie is lending his handsome presence to the mov- ie industry, a profession which James Gourlay, prominent physician, declares suits him perfectly. Dr. Gourlay's wom- en patients have increased 20071 since Hoxie's entrance to the movies. All are suffering from heart palpitations. Esquire, men's magazine, is now being managed by Philip Dove. Needless to say, men's fashions are greatly changed since Mr. Dove took over style predicting. The gents are simply wild over his latest creation-red spats. Leslie Stone has generously refused a movie contract, declaring that his en- trance would be detrimental to Mr. Hox- ie's standing. He is a rising young poet, however, who devotes much time to the subject of trees of various varieties. FIRST WITCH-Miss Pauline Cook, di- etitian for the elephants in Donald Mc- Lean's circus, is protesting that Miss Isa- belle Barr is spoiling the elephants' appe- tites by singing lullabies in French to the kangaroos. The music has spoiled many a night's sleep for the poor elephants and -..gf 12

FIRST WITCH-As I gaze into the mag- ic cauldron, I see the organizers of the famous new Sweet and Simple Poetry lub the Misses Eleanor Crandall Alice C ! 7 Lillibridge, and Louise Himes, are report- ing favorably conc-erning their debut. Miss Mary Pothier, the well known wom- an lawyer, is winning a spectacular case for Miss Ruth Spargo, dress designer. Miss Spargo is being sued by Miss Jean Joy for copying a model from Miss Joy's ex- clusive fashion shop. Both women are competing in the contest, The Most Idi- otic Dress Designer in America.

Miss Phyllis Durfee, the famous Shakespear-ean actress of the New York stage, will soon app-ear in a play written by Miss Dorothy Jowett, dramatist. Elvira Azzinaro and Emma Chimento are managing the Cozy Corner Tea House. The delectable dishes served by their famous cook, Helen Sieczkiewicz, are renowned the world over. THIRD WITCH-We see a stark trag- edy! James Fletcher, Robert Gavitt, and Arthur Fuller are being arrested in New York for boist-erousness, reckless driving, and for generally disturbing the peace. The young men declare they were trying to make up for lost time. Judge Archie Dubuque is warning them to proceed with caution, as their systems can't stand such a strain. Jorma Hypia's theme song is, at pres- ent, I'm Misunderstood. He has recent- ly made discoveries of such a complex na- ture that Prof. Einstein is the only per- son who can understand him. FIRST WITCH-Miss Ann Brown, sec- retary to Richard and Katherine Bohning, owners of the Bohning Baked-Beans Busi- ness, announces her engagement. Mr. and Miss Bohning are planning to present Miss Brown with the concern as an en- gagement gift. Baked-beans are losing their popularity except with the Boston- ians. Miss Helen Robinson and Mr. Howard Kuehn have gone into partnership as com- mercial artists. Both are sketching ad- vertisements for Hunk Williams' chain of stores, The Last National. Mr. Wil- liams claims to have the best advertising artists in captivity. SECOND WITCH-Joe Bianchi stopped -..gf II i.3....-

THE SENIOR YEAR BOOK - 1936 consequently they are losing their zest for food. Mr. Joseph Terranova has opened an exclusive school for girls. On his teaching staff are Max Raithel and Rog-er Hinch- liffe. A surprising harmony exists be- tween the faculty and the student body. It is an entirely new experiment in edu- cation. Edgar Goff is still tearing around in his own inimitable collegiate manner falthough he is rather gray around the templesj calling on a famous actress. Well, the boy is father to the man! Rus- sell Brown, snooping reporter for Elsa Schuster's scandal sheet, The Know-it- all-before-it-happensf' will spread this tasty bit of news within half an hour. SECOND WITCH-In the Westerly old men's home, Tony Delicato and Frank Parrilla are discussing the good old days of baseball when they were boys. They still haven't decided which is the better player-Lou Gehrig or Jimmy Foxx, even though these two stopped playing ball ten years ago. Murray Smith and David Glazier are busy campaigning for the fall elections of the We-Know-All Party. David seems to be the silent partner while Murray makes all the soap box speeches. Walter Mroz has permanently taken up his residence in Russia where he has been made commander of the Russian Fleet. THIRD WITCH-It is with the deepest regret that we see for Elizabeth St. Onge a life of misery. Elizabeth, famous ac- tress, was recently left a million dollars by an ardent, elderly admirer who depart- ed from this life. We sincerely hope that the task of disposing of this million will not discourage her and that she will hold up under the strain. In New York we find the hit of Earl Carroll's Vanities, Jo Brusa, singing and dancing lady about town. Jo is one of the favored patrons of Grace Clarke, in- ternationally known pedicurist. From this class we have one member who has strayed from the traditions of her Puritan ancestors. Miss Ruth Nichols, envoy to England, is being severely crit- icized by King Edward. Since Miss Nich- ols' arrival in London, Sir Anthony Eden has been sadly slighting his duties and the cause of world peace is being tragically neglected. Warning: Ruth behave yourself. FIRST WITCH-Can those women be Lydia Perry and Gertrude Plympton, dig- nified settlement workers, driving their roadster into a milk-wagon manned by John Nolan? Oh-oh-there it goes! Nat- urally, Mr. Nolan is greatly perturbed, he is pointing out that the nickel-plating, the crystal attachments, the ivory dash-board, and the air-conditioning system of his wagon have all been destroyed by the col- lision. With .Florence Realini as press-agent and business manager, the Out-of-doors- and-into-the-world-Club ably sponsored by Ilse Heyder and Beverly Smith, nature lovers, is about to become a nation-wide project. Because of this new movement, there is a boom in the beach hat business and also in the olive oil industry. James Breckenridge, still keeping the fine old name of Breckenridge before the public, is announcing an opening soon of his Breckenridge Fish Bowl, decorated ex- terior and interior by the new interior- exterior decorator, Miss Mary Turo. Miss Turo's promoter, Mr. Roy Howard, is promising the public a stupendous, colos- sal surprise when it sees the Fish Bowl. SECOND WITCH-Myrtle Barber has now the distinction of being the only car- rot-topped individual in New England. Mary Sisson has entered a J ohnny-cake eating contest in Westerly. In spite of her petiteness, Mary is far ahead of her nearest competitor, 'Olive Maggs. Margaret Nasi has had the honor for the past two years of doubling for Jean Harlow. It seems as if Westerly were well represented out in Hollywoodg Louis Vu- ono is secretary to Greta Garbo. Such an honor! THIRD WITCH-Bob Kessel, who last year pitched the Philadelphia Terrors to the winning of the World's Series, is at present holding out for more money. Dur- ing the interlude until the managers re- gain their senses, Bob is acting as special constable in Westerly. His training in the High School Varieties is standing him in good stead. One of our class is a world's champion- that is, a marble champion. Bill Hurtado is now known as King of the Marble Shooters, having gained that title by virtue of a contest held at the last Olym- pics. We now see Angelo Alice, the salesman de luxe. He has accomplished something -.-.gg 1 3 Ep..-
