Donald Stedman, for old time's sake, offered them a free dinner upon landing at his spiffy restaurant where Gertrude Blackburn is now a waiter and Nina Preebe is hostess. Although many have wandered away from Bucyrus, I found Mary Louise Sprouse working at the Sozonian Vault company with Virginia Di Blasi, Helen Karber and Marie Steiger under her super- vision. Martha Young and Mary Ellen I-Iaycook are working at Norton's Greenhouse. Clara Brinkman is taking Mary Rutter's place at the Bucyrus High school office.

esume of Our Past and Future John Strub who inherited a large fortune from his great, great uncle found the terms of the will very pleasant to fulfill. In fact, it enabled John to do something he had wished to do for years. In order to inherit this enormous fortune, he had to trace all his fellow graduates in the class of '37, Because it had now been fifteen years since his graduation, he enlisted the aid of a New York Detective agency, of which Donald Loverich was the founder. After a long interval, he received this letter: Dear John: I am happy to inform you that I have located all our classmates of '37. You are probably aware of Marian Grauer's success on the Metropolitan Opera stage. There are three more musicians from our class: Betty Reeder is soloist for Fred Waring's orchestra, of which William Shiffler is now a member. Janet Brown has brought many hours of comfort to the patients of St. Luke's hospital where she soothes them with the music she plays on the rolling piano that passes from corridor to corridor. Alice Bowman, Jane Sowash, and Isabelle, the latter being a dietitian, are also of this hospital. Several of the secretaries at this hospital were in our class, they are Dorothy Beehner, Mary Dunlap and Mary Fillo. The Marion Star has for its editor none other than our old friend, Iver Miller, whose secretary is Gladys Palmer. Buddy Ackerman serves as cartoonist, William Jacobs as sport editor, and Wilma Light writes Advice to the Lovelorn. She said that she had given advice to several of our classmates on their love affairs. One of these people to whom she gave advice is Vera Hildebrand, who is now working at the Ohio Power Company at Bucyrus, Ohio. I also located Mr. and Mrs. Frank Virtue who are now living in New Haven, Con- necticut, where Frank is making a name for himself as an up and coming dentist. When I was shopping in the ten cent store of this city, I saw Isabelle Cliff, Genevieve Caris, and Grace Diebler working as clerks. Katherine Charlton was selling cosmetics and giving free demonstrations before an audience who were looking at her with ad- miration and exclaiming over her beautiful complexion. While I was waiting for the train in order that I might continue my investigations, Albert Reece, who is now a world-famed athlete and who has just established a record for being able to throw a wet blanket two hundred feet, was coming down the street, with about one hundred admirers following him. Howard Barber is his manager. The next stop I made was in New York where I saw a famous vaudeville act. Elizabeth Schirmer toe danced, Margaret Black did a new type of ballet dancing, Kenneth McClary played his guitar, and Rose Fabrino did acrobatic stunts. While I was here, I saw a very dramatic play entitled, You Old So and So. I was surprised to see some of our old classmates among the actors and actresses. The actors were Jack Rowland, the great loverg Wayne Mackling, his rival in the love affair, Richard Steward, the villain, and John Zahary, the tough cop. The actresses were May Belle Stahl, the lovable country miss, and Marie Miller, her best friend and adviser. I went to the Zahary Sisters' Beauty Shoppe to get my hair dressed. Gertrude Schell and Iva Dye were working there. As I waited for my turn, I noticed, in looking over newspapers, a picture of Richard Nye who is now an inventor of great renown. He is now tryin to make a bird cage of bird seed, a device that makes everything much easier and simpler for everyone concerned. Another item was about a piece of research work being done by Jack Robertson, who is trying to prove to the world that red wood trees are not red. Several of the boys of the class of '37 are living at the new Bachelor's Paradise. They are Kenneth Knappenberger, Pearl Francis, Lawrence Bittikofer, Bill Wilson and John Mitchell.
