Hm-m-m....never heard of that one before....wonder if
any large public libraries might have it in their
reference section? I can also suggest the book "Up
and Coming Elementary School Students - New York City
1949-50" (Scribner's reference pubs.) for further
information on Phoebe Caulfield's activities as
well(she loved girls basketball by the way). Old
Spencer's obituary is in the Pencey Prep Alumni
Bulletin for 1952 (he hung on for quite a long time
didn't he?), Maurice the pimp was finally busted for
running a prostitution ring in his elevator - The New
York Daily News or the Mirror during January 1950, and
finally, in 1969-70 an aging Mr. Antolini got himself
arrested 21 times during anti-war demonstrations ("MY
TIME IN THE MOVEMENT" - Pency Alternative pubs. 1981
[posthumously - unfortunately]).

PS - one of Phoebe's Kids was running a website about
his uncle but you know who's lawyers made him take it down.
