• Z3orcl) • CLASS PROPHECY Elaborate floral decorations were furnished by the firm of Campe and Coffman, Inc. Cullman s Californians, in town for the occasion, provided music for the dancing, with Dick Kuenning as vocalist. Specialty numbers with the orchestra were supplied by Martha Curran, tap dancer, and Janet Lucas, torch singer. Seen at the ball were Mary Elizabeth Keys, prominent portrait artist; Fritz Lichtenberg, pres- ident of the Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Company; Mary Ellen Brightman, head of the Pre-School Department of the city; and Richard Donaldson, owner of the Donaldson Baking Company. Others back for the class anniversary party were Ruth Miller, Miriam Levinson, and Mildred Rosenberg, who together operate a group of popular tea rooms throughout the state; and Ben Gardner and his partner, Arnold Gardner, of the law firm of Gardner, Gardner, and Bayley. The third member of the firm, Bill Bayley, was not able to attend, because of official business in Washington. By the way, Georgia Wheeler, Edna McCracken, and Virginia Perry are secretaries in the offices of this firm. Jack Downing, the compiler of the new Standard Dictionary, was noticed chatting with Marvin Pheister and Robert Schwartz of the real estate firm bearing their names. Harold Kreach- baum and Floyd Blackstone, architects, were talking business in the midst of the gayety; while Bob •Rosel, manager of the Ohio Art Metal Co., and Alan Woolman, in charge of the City Dental Clinic, were renewing their high school friendship in another corner. William Young, Dean of Education at Ohio State University, had found a fellow educator in the person of Rusla Tichane, instructor of French at the Washington Seminary; and they spent most of the evening dancing and talking together. Mary Bond Stone, author of Henry of Navarre , which was a long-run production on the legitimate stage of last season, and Robert Magnuson, •dramatic critic for the New York Times, were busily discussing the probability of producing Blue Heaven , with James Morgan in the lead. Lewis Ealy and Virginia Furniss, winners of the National Doubles Championship at Wimbledon, were very much the center of attention for the short time they were present. Justice Joseph Kerr, of the United States Supreme Court, and his secretary, Anita Reuter, came in with a Jate party, which included James McClure and George Rietz, associated with the General Motors Corporation; Robert Muir and Clarence Slawson, vice-president and general manager of the White Star Steamship Line; and Harry Shufflebarger, just returned from furthering his studies in medicine at Vienna. There were several of the old class that could not be present for the reunion but sent their •regrets. They were Manuel Tarshish, celebrated criminologist, now on a world cruise, and Norman •Kuehner, employed by the Russian government as a civil engineer. Philip Sansone, motion picture magnate, was unable to leave his studio in Hollywood; while a speaking engagement prevented Eugene Parker, pastor of the Little Church Around the Corner, from attending the anniversary celebration. Wilma Vetek and Freda Charles, both buyers for a large department store in Cleveland, are at present on their semi-annual trip to Paris, and hoped to be back in time, but could not make it. Martha Brundige and Edna Bradbury, correspondents for the Associated Press, were quiet observers of the party, and responsible for this account. Page Tzventy-five
