That tall, handsome artist of the class, Harold Gerig, worked his way through Cincinnati Art School and is now quite famous for his current pen and pencil sketches of pretty damsels. In fact, Esquire Magazine last year ap- pointed him as head Calendar Artist. The Gerig Girls as his models for the Esquire Calendars are known, are extremely photogenic, ln honor of the Girls by Gerig, Scott Smith, High School Principal, is doing over his office with modern art and has chosen only the originals of the Gerig Girls for the main decor. But the latest scoop on Gerig says that he and Grandma Moses are combining talents and will be known to the great art critics and sympathizers as Gram and Gramp . Oh yes, 'lGramp 81 Gram are picking up a sizable hunk of pin money by painting advertisements for lVlinute Rub . va me ik :r Sharon Purk, poor little Sharon, finally gave up the chase, and started a highly respectable old ladies' home at Gas City. But, they say, there is life in the old girl yet, because the building contractor himself, recently filed application to build an adjoining dormitory for old gentlemen. There are to be firecrackers and picnics on July 4th, bass drums, drum sticks, turkey trot and bugle corps on Thanksgiving Day, and to top the planned pro- grams, every old lady and gentleman will hang her and his stocking, res- pectively and respectfully, on Christmas Eve. There is absolutely a surprise assured for every old sock. If you are nearing 40, please go to Purk's Old Folks' Home, guaranteed to perk you up and keep you hoping another lO years or so. 1:1 4 1 1 Immediately following May 20, 1953, QMay Zlst, to be exactl little dark- eyed Vivian Weaver QI beg your pardon? Vivian Witte, attended Warner's Beauty College and became a full-fledged beauty operator. In fact, she became such a smooth operator, that she and Lucy West Qoften dream of Lucy with the dark- brown hair, joined scissors, frizzers, twizzers and appointment books. They have become such close business associates that they even take turns dating Tony Bennet. Lucy and Viv are currently heard and seen on radio and televi- sion on the commercial Which Twin Has The Toni wk lk 251 lk Here is something that it seems that could run in ca-hoots with Purk's Old Folk's home. Suzanne Souder and Corrine Wetter graduated from the Methodist Hospital School of Nursing in '57 with B. S. and R. N. Degrees. The B. S. stands for Science of Bachelors. Both have given up staff positions at Blue Cast and are running a nursing home for unhappy husbands and bachelors. They can surely put their degrees to good usage. Suzie's and Wetter's slogan reads: Attention all unhappy husbands and eligible bachelors: Go to Suzie's for solace, Wetter you be sick, sad, or soured. Old Saw-Bones, Jerry Becker, laid down his saw, as, and sundry cutleries, jerked down his M. D. shingle and handed himself over to Human Guinea Pig Experiments, lnc. For a good many years after he graduated from I. U. Medical School, you could hear him sawing, far into the night, whistling while he whacked or sawed off a leg here, an arm there. It is nice to note, that neighbors became so sick and tired of hearing the screams and groans of patients mingled with the screeching of the rusty electric saw, that they took up a good-sized pocketbook, 15549. 371 and bought him a silencer for that saw.

Gossips have it that he couldn't keep his mind on his work because of Carolyn and he sawed off one too many limbs. Anyhow he is now a human guinea pig for Armour and Armour. if nr 4 Ax Here is something I never thought would happen. Barbara Brager was the girl who always liked to sing and draw, and wanted to be a kindergarten teacher. After spending many years in college and doing all kinds of practice and experimental teaching, she gave up her ambition to raise a kindergarten of her own. :of sf x: if Newspaper syndicates have at last discovered some one to replace the greatly missed Dorothy Dix. Lovers the world over, sought advice in her letters to the love lorn. When they discovered Marjorie Bumpus' column in Woodburn News, she was immediately put on the editorial staff of Ft. Wayne News Sentinel and has been syndicated at a huge salary. The letter which caught the attention ofthe editors reads as follows: Dear Miss Bumpus, Could you give me three easy lessons on how to get a man? Desperately yours, Betty Nahrwold Answer: Dear Miss Nahrwold: No--if I could, my name wouldn't still be Bumpus. J, J. .', 4, .,. .,. ,,. .,. Betty Nahrwold, a century ago, was a charming, lovely, little Witch of 17 years--who had designs upon the Bob Patterson. But the bright city beck- oned and she took a job at modelimgfor Sears, Roebuck 8: Co. , and became too engrossed in her work. When she had to start modeling size 40 dresses instead of 10 and 12, Bob lost interest. Because the size of her work is so demanding, her time has to be budgeted down to the very minute. We hope Betty can get help from some one! -r az: fr :er Here's something that can't be beaten in any gossip circle.

Weaver has not only made his bed, but has feathered his cap and greased his hands, with neatly won extra bucks by kissing all babies, whether Communist, Socialist, Democrats, or Republicans. He has also asked me to post this special announcement: Dean Weaver, mayor, police chief, fire chief, city clerk, city attorney, justice of the peace, dog and cat catcher, city treasurer, and city council at Georgetown, where he is the most prominent and only citizen eligible to vote, announces he will run for re- election. 4: me 4: :ec '55 wi ,Clif u ',1f'. .w -QXAIVIC .'I:fvEiDZ'Li.'.ii l M
