PEP-FILLED PERSONAL PARAGRAPHS, Continued from the Preceding Page Sweeney, Amy Press, Tina Gurvey and Laura Sheller. Alice’s only regret was that more of the girls were unable to attend. .. .Did you ever hear the two song birds, Eva Rigney and Ethel O’Gara. . . . John Gentile seems to have let his hair grow to a “boyish” Mae Strup is always thinking of her “Al” (not A1 Smith) .... Being hard to separate Moe Levy’s dummies, the same occurs with Mortimer Cohn who misses his partner Irving Cohen, who’s on his vacation. .. .The famous words from Anna Stumph are “Have you anything to eat?” .... Why does Rose Boyle eat at Childs ? . . . . Jean Cadger has been studying “Facial Expressions.” Pola Negri won’t have a chance from now on.... Helen Wawzycki keeps the boys supplied with kisses (the candy kind) ....Since the Paramount Pep Club Orchestra has started its new activities, we find Willie Gold practicing on his flute.... It seems Rose Mirell’s pastime is to see Motion Pictures ; she’s always talking about them ... .Miriam O’Connell had to pay her own carfare for the two weeks he was away.... Amy Press was a bridesmaid at a wedding recently. What’s the good word, Amy ? — And so on — and so on. IN PERSON. Our views above are of personalities represented, on this page. At the left is Maxine Kessler, who has written one of our features and has in turn had an interesting story written around her. The young lady with the smile ( this is a shipboard picture, and zve don’t dare show the remainder of it) is Henrietta Betchuk. The only male in the group is Charlie Iacona. And that leaves the remaining member of our gallery to be identified as Syd. Hacker. M. K. R. ( AN APPRECIATION) Should you glance in the book of “Who’s Who” in Publix, you would find the name of Miss Mamie K. Baker written in large, bright letters. Why not? Mamie has been connected with the organization since 1920, and in those eight years has never been away from the office for a single day on account of illness, or otherwise. Aside from her good record of attendance, her conscientious attitude towards her work has caused her to miss two vacations. But M. K. B. doesn’t grumble. Her genial disposition and her good work have made her one of the best liked and most valued employees of Publix. “W. B. FOR M. K.” We have with us today in the group on this page — Maxine Kessler — one of Pep-O-Grams “Peppiest” Reporters, and Dancer Extraordinary. For some time Miss Kessler has been acquainting the Editor with events in the line of engagements and weddings occurring amongst the Coworkers of the organization, but this time the “scoop” is ours. On the 10th of September the above mentioned young lady celebrated her Birthday — and Jules L. Slater presented her with a beautiful square solitaire which adorns the second finger of her left hand. All her friends and co-workers join in extending their very best wishes for the future happiness of Maxine and Jules. — S. C. Did You Know That ? (According to Maxine Kessler) Ena Balmer will henceforth be known as Mrs. Ted DeBoer? That Ena and Ted were married on September 22, and are now honeymooning in Bermuda? Bert Adler’s sister was recently engaged — and that Bert had to invite some one else’s sister to the Dance? Estelle Jacobs possesses a most genial disposition, and is seldom if ever, seen in an angry mood? Frances Gashel was vacationing at the Napanach Country Club at the time of the recent flood there — and that many of her beautiful dresses were destroyed? Charlie Iacona (the Adonis of our office boys), never had his name mentioned in Pep-O-Grams before? Rosalind Schiffman, one of our new Pepsters, recently became engaged to Morton L. Kirsch? Fanny Shwartz is greatly attracted to Boston? That she spent part of her vacation there? George Bressler is a real hero to Sayde Innerfield and Ye Scribe — because many a morning he saved our lives with a piece of Bracer chocolate? Henrietta Betchuk was returning from Texas during her vacation, and was on the wild seas off the Coast of Florida when the terrible hurricane occurred — and that ‘Henri’ never expected to come back to the Crossroads of the World? Syd Hacker and Betty Whalen now answer to the distinguished title of “Auntie” to the two cutest babies in the world? Nick Hernkind was the “All around man” of the Disbursements Department during vacation time? Dora Lipschutz has been transferred to the Production departments PEP-O-GRAMS Page Forty -four
