f f fkf af Here we are at the airport, says Walt as the driver dashes around a corner and drives up to the hanger. That'1l be one-fifty, the driver remarks, turning his head. Both passengers gasp in astonishment. ' Howard Danner, as I live! shouts Jimmy, furiously grabbing at the cabman's hand. I ought to have recognized that reckless driving anywhere! Tl1e two entertainers run up the stairs to the office and demand a weather map of their route. Dorothy Vanness, the stenographer, sends in to weatherman John Hoare for the forecast. Climbing into their monoplane, they zoom to the take-off. ik Pl Bk li il if if HILE they are flying over Vigo County, a general storm area is encountered. Making for the nearest trail beacon, the two men land for safety. A light is seen in a nearby building to which they hurry for shelter. Upon entering they were pleased to recognize Marian Boatman, who hurriedly cautions them to sil- ence as she motions them into an adjoining room. In this room, which is stacked to the ceiling with scientific apparatus, a man is discovered bent over a strange machine. This is none other than the scientist and owner of the laboratory, Stephen Koos, who looks up and greets the strangers. His face registers no recognition at first, but gradually he breaks into a wide grin and invites his school fellows over to his work- bench. I have here an invention of mine in which you might be interested, he non- chalantly remarks after their mutual salutations are over. I call it my 'ultimascope'! It has the power to show me today events of the past and the present. Since you have recognized that this is our graduation anniversary, you might like to see what has become of our classmates. Shall I turn it on? Yes, certainly, eagerly reply the two visitors. Of course, I can tell you of the ones who still live in Terre Haute. George Tuttle has expanded his paint and glass business into a corporation which manufactures a nationally-known brand. His corps of secretaries and stenographers includes Estella Smith, Katherine Strang, Hazel Kauz, Gwendolyne Hillis, and Margaret Evans. On the board of directors are Robert Guyer, Chet Brentlinger, Joe Hadley, Bill Edwards, and Maxine Hornbuckle. George's wife, Dorothy Laatz, has a pet Pekingese, which is named after Rosemary Thompson, the famous veterinarian. Jack McCrory has bought a half interest in the Giffel Body Manufacturing Com- pany from Paul Giffel, and they now specialize in scientifically designed and stream- lined truck bodies. fContinued on page 613 OF 1933i PAGE 27

PAGE 26 . T r V r 7 W 7 H IN TWENTY YEARS? HE soft, sweet strains of the theme melody of a well-known orchestra are fading from the loud speaker. The program of the Graham and Cole Cocoa Company directed by Walt Snedeker and starring Jimmy Hughes, the popular comedy king will be brought to you next Saturday at this same hour This is Rob t G . er rogan speak- ing for the Garvin and Jobe nation-wide network, and now good-night! 1 9 Inside the studio of the key station, WXQZ at Chicago, on this warm May 31, 1953, familiar musical figures are hastily packing their instruments. Here are Dorothy McKinney, the pianist, John Aikman with his trap drums, Maurice Clayton and his trombone, and John Piister and his violin. Others of Snedeker's orchestra are Ralph Williams, Pelmer Shelton, Merritt Campbell, and Russell Butts. In the corner James Mitcham l ' ' , popu ar vocal soloist of the program, is collecting his music. Jimmy Hughes and Walt Snedeker are preparing to leave by air la f p ne or Evans- ville, where they have a theatrical engagement. Say, Walt, says Jimmy, do you remember twenty years ago today? No-o-o-o-o-0 Walt drawls absent-mindedly, as he reaches for his violin case. What a memory! Why twent y years ago tonight was the night of our graduation from Gariield! Why, sure, so it was! exclaims Walt while they leave the studio and enter a waiting taxi. I wonder where all the good old class of '33 are now? Do you know of any of them? Well, come to think about it I noticed in the Chic , ago 'Herald-Star' this morning that federal judge Harry D. Cash sent a gang of gasoline bootleggers and a counter- feiter's ring to the benevolent protection of Warden Robert Price at Leavenworth, Kansas. Joe Thomson, Daryl Orem, Steve Rohan, and Raymond Wood are guards at Warden Price's institution and hel k 'G p eep entleman Herm' Surdan, the suave head of the international blackmail ring, from escaping. The prosecuting attorney in the case was Marjorie Dever, and the defense lawyer was the notorious Evan Jones, whose wife, Laura Nelle Turnbull, is Chicago's best-dressed woman. X Mary Hussong, the society editor of the paper, had a long article about the grand banquet held in honor of Lucas Fischer, the new president of the Chicago Board of Trade. Guests of honor included the following: Dr. Morris Strole, Mary Esther Smith, the eminent scientist, James Parks, famous tabloid editorg Lorene Jensen, and cinema- t s ar Maxine Moss, of whom the late Jean Harlow said that M iss Moss was her only peer in the field of platinum blondes.
