Mary Krieger and Donna Jean Eubank bad been employed by the government to lick stamps. Lila Bonsall and Mary Helen Goolsby were great welfare workers and much interested in the downtrodden. Their last great work was a stirring campaign in order to raise enough money to provide all the African natives with a clean, pocket handkerchief. James Griffis was a great philanthropist and he spent his leisure time distributing animal crackers among the children of the slums. William Wochner’s big job was to light the torch of the statue of Liberty every night. Mae Brooks blew the street lights out every morning. Dale McCoy led the American forces to victory in the struggle with Japan. He was the hero of the hour. Jerald Hastie, Leland Peck, Glenn Wcinert, and Ralph Steinbrink were the famous manufacturers of saw-toothed spoons on which babies may cut their teeth. I left the group and wandered down the garden. Nearing an apple tree, I noticed a long and lanky figure eating an apple. On drawing closer, I beheld the countenance of Fred Graham. My, such a surprise! The last person I ever thought to meet in the Elysian Fields. After joking and laughing for some time, I asked him how he met his everlasting. He told me that he had been employed as an umbrella tester. Fie jumped off the Woolworth building in New York and if the umbrellas were good ones, he would land safely. One was no good! He proceeded to tell me that a great many of my chums had been workers of the Salvation Army. Georgianna Brenner was president and manager. Fred said Georgie looked awfully cute in a poke bonnet! Anna Marie Wise conducted the musical part of the street performance. Catherine Grant preached and converted sinners while Dorothea Femmer passed the hat. He also told me that Everett Rieger, Herbert Wilbur Roesch, and Otto Huettner had been joint owners of the True Story Magazine, and that Otto Ketter, Robert Wilson and Robert Heck had made a picture collection of all the girls that they had ever dated. They published these in volumes—one hundred three, I believe. Just before leaving this Happy Land I met Bob Crook, another surprise, one I never expected to see here either. He told me he was the owner of a large hospital in New York and that he had won quite a name for himself. He must have been great, as he claimed that he did one of two things, either cured his patients or not. Remarkable, isn’t it! Kathleen Tefft was his private secretary. Oh! Oh!—and he had hired Edna Wittrock to tear the leaf off the calendar at the end of every month. I had to hurry on as my train left for Falls City in just a few minutes. I ran down the steps; passing the door to Tartarus, I opened it and looked in. I didn’t recognize any faces, although I should have known better than to even think that any of the class of ’32 might be there. I enjoyed my trip very much and considered it a complete success as I had found out all about my former schoolmates. Page 24
