1: THE ANDERSONIAN CLASS PROPH ECY On a brisk February morning in 1946 I entered my omce in Cincinnatils new sky- scraper, the Charleton-Evans, which had just recently been constructed under the super- vision of George Richardson. He and Erwin Fischer, the architect who designed the building. have become ouite well known for their excellent work on this project. As I opened the door labelled ttMillard and Myers, Interior Decoratorsh, I found my partner with her feet propped up on the desk dictating furiously to our very eliicient secretary, Hazel Childers. We had just settled down to a busy day's work when the door opened suddenly and our happy-go-lucky society friend, Thelma Howland, slumped in and col- lapsed weekly on the nearest chair. To our alarmed inquiries she answered between gasps that due to the present strike of elevator operators she had walked up the fifty-nine hights of stairs to our office. After regaining her breath she explained the cause for this heroic deed. She had just inherited a fortune from a distant relative and invited us to go With her to the Olympic Games which were being held in California this year. The next day at Lunken Airport we boarded a transcontinental airliner for Cali- fornia. As we settled into our seats, a trim air stewardess approached and asked if there was anything she could do to make us more comfortable. Her voice sounded familiar and turning, we recognized our old pal, Mildred Riggs. Our exclamations of surprise and delight were drowned by the roar of the motors as the plane soared into the air. Not being an experienced air traveller. Phebe felt slightly uneasy but was reassured when Mil told us that our pilot, Bill Hoobler, was a very competent one. Our conversation naturally led to reminiscences of old times at Anderson and Mil told us about some of our former classmates. She had had lunch with Bernice Dunn and Ruth Glazer the day before and we learned that Bee, after graduating with high honors from Miami, is now athletic instructor at the University of Cincinnati and that Ruth is head nurse at Bethesda Hospital. Mil asked about Edna May and Thelma replied that she had received a letter from Edna last week saying that she has a good position as com- mercial artist in a large department store at Dayton. By this time we had reached Glenwood Springs, Colorado. where the plane was to make a two hours stop. We decided to take advantage of this opportunity to visit Andersonis former basketball hero, George Kersting, who is now the proprietor of a dude ranch near Glenwood Springs. By a strange coincidence we met Ralph Birkley, who was on his way to the ranch to take part in a rodeo that was being held there that day. Spider gave us a lift in his car and when we arrived we found the rodeo in full progress and the ranch in a state of confusion. The proprietor was nowhere to be seen but after a prolonged search we discovered him sitting on a fence, fast asleep. hugging a fence post. Just then the loud cheering of the crowd as Spider rode into the arena, awakened him and he was so startled at our unexpected anpearance that he fell back- wards off the fence. After getting up and brushing himself off he was able to greet us properly. When he learned that we were going to the Olympics, he told us that we would have the pleasure of seeing Elden Nash there as Eldy is now coach of the All- American Basketball team which will participate in the Olymnic Games. At our request. George then took us on a tour of inspection of the ranch. Uoon climbing to the top of a hill, we had a view of much of the surrounding country. George Dointed out a cattle ranch in the distance and informed us that it was owned by Everett Mudersbaeh. Everett raises thoroughbred heifers; it seems that he has no use for dudes. It was now nearing the time when the plane was srheduled to leave. so George drove us hack to Glenwood Springs. While passing through the business section of the city we noticed a large. modern grocery store. On the window were the words Viel- hauer 8z Sons. Chain Grocery tsnecializes in sausagesl. Is that the Vielhaum- with whom we used to 20 to school?u I asked. HThe same one, answered George. Freddy has guilt up a prosperous business and has stores all over the United States and Cane a3 Before boarding the plane we stopped at a news stand and bought a New York Times. The headlines ttProminent Broker Saves Wall Street from Collapse attracted our attention and 11mm reading further we discovered that Ralph Brown was the broker and that his financial qenius had averted a national crisis. Another headline struck our eyes. ttMiss June Emshoff Makes Her Debut at the Metropolitan Opera House. Her splendid nerformance in ttLohenerin was declared a great success bv music critics. In June she will begin a concert tour of the country. Then turnineP to the society page we read with interest that Miss Genevee Brandt. m'ominent member of New York's younger set. is sailing for Switzerland 0n the SS. Victoria next Thursdav. She will be accompanied by her secretary and trusted companion. Miss Valera Hurley. They will remain in Europe throughout the summer and upon their return Miss Hurley plans to give up her position and make her home in Dayton, Ohio. A 1 9 3 6 Page eighteen V
