Senior Class Prophecy of 1956 A few weeks ago I chanced to visit Hollywood, California. I rented an apartment and my first thought was to stock it with food. Within a few blocks of my quarters I found what was proudly advertised as the “Worlds Largest Grocery Mart. ' I had to cash some traveler’s checks, and was sent to the managers office. Imagine my surprise to discover that the owner and manager was Bob Ray. Having heard that other menbers of the 1956 senior class had migrated westward, I inquired of Bob if he knew where any of the others might be found. He said, “Look upstairs on our second floor. I believe you’ll find it rather unique for Super - Market equipment. ' I went up in the elevator and discovered the world's largest gymnasium, where coach Dale Ray was working out with his professional basketball team, the Hollywood Hoot-Owls. Team Manager was Hector “Hot-Rod Segress, a prominent West-Coast sports- car enthusiast and racing driver. He volunteered to escort me on a tour of some of the major movie studios. At Warner Brothers we were permitted to watch the shooting on a new movie, starring Charlotte Ann Reed, billed as the new answer to Marilyn Monroe. She is said to be the most phenomenal new talent that has recently been discovered. After leaving the movie set, we were shown through the wardrobe department which is capable managed by another former Elsberry girl, Jean Austin, who is said to know more about clothes of all ages than anyone else in Hollywood. As we left the movie lot, I bought a newspaper, in which a headline attracted my attention. Clara Bange, it informed me, had just become the women's figure skating champion, (inter- national, that is) in the Winter Olympics. The article quoted an interview with her which said, “I owe it all to athletic training I got at EHS. Having seen enough of Hollywood, I decided to fly to New York. Boarding a huge TWA Transport, I was greeted by a pleasant stewardess, who turned out to be Barbara McKinney of the class of 56. I have always been a little shaky about flying, but was able to relax when I found that the plane was piloted by the capable Captain Billy Cunningham. When I alighted at La Guardia Airport I was hungry, and went into a large Modernistic restaurant built entirely of pink transparent plastic. A bronze plaque on one of the panels proclaimed that the design was that of a well-known woman architect, Mary Alice Sherman. The original design is said to have been projected on the drawing boards of Mrs. Ash's art room at the Elsberry School. From the kitchen issued the most beautiful of odors. I ate a wonderful steak and inquired the name of the chef who prepared so delicious a morsel. Imagine my surprise to discover that the chef was a woman Sylvia Graham! Famous for her fine recipes since 1956, her last year in the Elsberry Home Economics department. I asked to see her, and she took a little time off from managing her busy kitchen to talk to me. She told me that if I had time to go over to the harbor I might be able to see the newest battleship in the U. S. War Fleet. Of particular interest was the fact that it is the flagship of Admiral Ann Mae Brand--the first woman Admiral of the U. S. Navy. She also told me that Donna Marie Gray was writing a syndicated broadway gossip column, having succeeded Dorothey Kilgallen in the hearts of New Yorkers. I decided to return to Elsberry, and having a few hours to kill before my flight would be called I decided to see a movie. I discovered the Esquire Theatre which I attended was one of a chain owned by Joyce Hartigan, who had built up a corporation owning 500 theatres beginning with the one in Elsberry acquired in 1958. At the Lambert airport, where I landed in St. Louis, I was intrigued by heavenly piano music piped over a powerful PA system. On inquiry I found that it was the music of Mrs. Sherie Cox Reed, who in addition to rearing a large and happy family operates a large piano salon in St. Louis. I hurried on out to Elsberry, where the first neon sign I spotted shouted to the world that you could get anything--but anything at Harry Lawson's Scramble Store. 13
