SENIOR CLASS PROPHECY In 1950 I, Shirley Messersmith, was asked to take the census of the United States and was given a helicopter, ln which I could quickly span the country. I decided to find out on the way how my classmates of IS44 were getting along and just what they were doing. This is what I found: Carol Basinger is a famous florist in California. She raises orchids to sell for twenty-five cents each. Robert Bell is a movie hero and the girls still swoon over his curly locks and his line. Helen Berryman is a Hollywood playwright. She is married to a big producer out there. Wilma Biddtson tMrs. Bill Holltngerl lectures to women's clubs on How to Make Your Husband Happy. lack Brown has decided to remain a bachelor. I wonder why? Harlan Brubaker is a member of Information Please. Need I say more? Io Burbick ts the president of the A. 6 P. Company. He's still teasing the clerks. Ieanne Carlson is a teacher in Mrs. Snippit's School For Girls. She teachesthe girls, How to Get a Man. Glen Chaddock owns an airline. He advertises once a week over W.F.M.I. featuring his famous Tall Ta1es. Jewel Chamberlain is secretary to one of the Morgan- thaus. Iust between you and me, she's marrying the boss on Friday. Betty Cline and Virginia Oesch are two of the Crooked Six still together. They are nurses in a hospital in Vir- ginta. Bill Dickinson, Ohio State basketball coach, was pic- tured in the New York Herald Tribune last week with his champion bass twelve feet in length landed at Chiblow Lake ln Canada. Leona Ehrhart, while on her concert tour through Cleveland, stopped in her home town and honored her friends with a short concert in the high school auditorium. Winifred Esterly is the first woman professor at Har- vard University. She teaches English, of course. Ruth Firestone and Josephine Frank are living with their husbands in twin cottages. My, how well they learn- ed to cook at C. H. S. Norma Gaston married that Marine out in Califomia. He's a radio magnet now, they say. Kathleen Gavin used to draw paper dolls in school. Now she draws them for fashion magazines and does she make the moneyl Bob Grant is a pilot of one of the big transports owned by Glen Chaddock. He and his stewardess are engaged. Bob Gross, who had a mania for singing in the halls at' school. is swoon-crooner for the Trillion Dollar Band. Ed Gustafson is raising chickens on the Fisher farm. His favorite chick is called Lucy. Myrna Harrold, who has her offices in Youngstown for some reason, is an artist, authoress, actress, and authority on beauty. Phil Horton is an admiral in the Navy. In his leisure time he brings out his trumpet and plays 'Old Man Mase. Esther Hough is the manager of the Biltmore Hotel in Columbiana. Bob Hum's orchestra is playing at the Waldorf Astoria where he croons his latest song hits. Oh, yes, one of his trombonists is our old friend Lee Peterson. Shirley Messersmith is now a chemist at the Du Pont Company and has discovered Chloroflortodutm. Paul Metiler is the cassanova of television appearing in That Man I Married. Aurelia Miller is manager of Isaly's in Columbiana and employs only male clerks. Ann Moore finally landed her Fairfield man. They live in a cute little penthouse in New York City where he teach- es agriculture at New York University. Charles Nelson owns a chain of theaters throughout the 'country and, thanks to him, all the premieres of the big pictures are shown at the Globe. Ruth Pine, once very nervous in public speaking class. is a Congressman's wife and gives lectures every day. Helene Pregenzer and Vivian Zimmerman are still build- ing airplanes in California, only now they're giving the orders. Albert Prizant is now a comedian like Bob Hope. Of course he has to use a few of Bob's jokes but, as you remember, he is quite original. Robert Reeves ls head of the F. B. I. Hoover resigned when Bob solved all the cases. Carmela Ross is a commercial teacher at Struthers High School. Why Struthers? Memories, no doubt. lane Royle owns her own grocery store and all the products she sells are trademarked Royle. Robert and Richard Segesman are called the Daredevil Twins. They are giving an exhibition at the Cleveland Air- port tomorrow. Maxine Ward now plays Blondie in the Dogwood Bumstead series. Eileen Wemer and her pilot husband have just set the world record of flying around the world in their helicopter ln one hour. Iune Wilson is now the speech teacher at Ohio State. Remember how well she gives the Gettysburg Address? When I arrived home, I climbed out of my helicopter, tired but happy because I had found all my classmates well and contented.
