At thif most eventful time, when our thoughts are saddened because we must part from our schoolmates, it is yet a distinct pleasure to review what have been profitable and happy years. Therefore we wish to take this time to thank the many people who have directly and indirectly contributed to our class to make its success. Now that the events of this class have become past history, it is fitting that this record should close as each schoolmate wishes the other the ample fulfillment of every promise of these school years. DORIS CORNELL Radio Program, Celebrities of Wilson Sponsored by the Manufacturers of Peptona Breakfast Food (It is curious to note that each of these celebrities was a member of that illustrious Wilson High School Class which graduated in 1940). The manufacturers of Peptona Breakfast Food are happy to present tonight a program in honor of the company's twentieth anniversary. This famous and popular product first came into existence in the year 1940 in the town of Wiflson, New York. It is my pleasure tonight to give you a brief resume of the people who have been prominent in the history of Wilson. First I must mention that famous person, Philip Mark, the inventor of Peptona. who satisfies the hunger of millions each morning with his wonderbite breakfast food. ------Another illustrious person is Merton Truesdell, who, after being elected president of the United States of America, caused to be made those harbor improvements which turned Wilson into a famous seaport. ------Eleanor Burch is now a shining opera star and recently she and her partner. Jack Stone, opened a school for hog-calling. ------Kaye Gale has opened a Chuck wagon which features Singing waitresses who do not Flat. ------Doris Lutz and Melvin Upton are running a chicken farm. Melvin does look a little henpecked. ------The old Wilsonian Club has been renamed the Wil Soakya Club and is under the management of Roger Plain and Mae Senik. Gordy Hausmann’s orchestra, the “Hot Cakes,” play every night. They have as star vocalist Ginny Cce, whese theme song is. “My Donny Lies Over the Ocean.” ------Norma Stockwell is under new management, service station and all, and Martin definitely has the upper hand. ------The local newspaper editor is Franklin MarkelJ who is never harassed by any problem. Definitely not women.
