WILLIAM JD. BLEBSDE, PRUMINENT WALL STREET MABNATE, AIBEB BY CHIEF INSPECTUR FUNCANNUN UF E. B. I. IN REIINITINB 125 MEMBERS UF HIGH SCHUUL CLASS AT BUST UF S25ll,lllJlI.Ull UNE 16, 1949-Together for the first time since June, 1939, when they graduated from Garfield High School, Terre Haute, Indiana, the one hundred and twenty-five members of William D. Bledsoe's high school class sailed today on Bledsoe's yacht, the Sylvia , for the Caribbean Sea with plans to touch port at Playow, Chico, Panama, and ports south. The reunion was made possible by the efforts of Chief Inspector Robert Fun- cannon, of' the Federal Bureau of In- vestigation, also a member of the class and a close friend of Bledsoe. I found members of that class in every state from New York to California, declared Inspector Funcannon to members of the press today. The whole thing grew out of a pipe dream of Bill's and mine, and it cost us two years and two hundred and fifty thousand dollars to make it real. Celebrities Included Outstanding among the group which sailed at 10:30 from New York Harbor this morning were Paul Kipp, who sails for Madras, India, this November to as- sume the American consulate there: Wayne Loving, youngest justice of the Supreme Court, Muriel Westrup, nation- ally known young star of the Metropo- litan Operag Lewis Hudson of Holly- wood, and Bill Hayward, America's larg- est dealer in tinsel butterflies. Kipp was quoted as having said, It's great to be back with the old bunch again! , while Justice Loving shed his dignity to stand on his head for the press cameraman. The same exuberance seemed to be felt by every member of the gay party, and the Sylvia slipped away from dock to the stirring tune of the Garfield school song, played by Will Woodard's nationally known orchestra, also aboard. The Sylvia herself was quite brave and gay for the voyage. The managers of the Belle Maison firm, New York's most exclusive decorators, were also members of the class, and Virginia As- bury, Jane Alexander, and Patty Pre- witt directed the complete redecoration of the yacht. The impressive murals on the walls of the main lounge were executed by Marianne David, outstand- ing young American artist whose can- vas, Basque Fishergirl , took first place at the Paris Salon last spring. Lieutenant Harlan Nicoson of the navy, who obtained leave to direct the crew of the Sylvia , reported that the yacht's powerful engines, built especial- ly for Bledsoe by master engineers John Padwojski and Herman Prust, were in beautiful shape and well ready for the trip . Lieutenant Nicoson's crew in- cludes Dr. Robert Cox, who left his doc- tor's office in the navy to make the tripg Ernest Boatman and Fred Hill, starred team of the Ballet Russe g and Frank- lin King, Charles Hungerford, and Bill Beatty, owners of the Hungerford- Beatty-King Day Nursery for Small Children. Yacht Compared to Floating City When members of the press asked Miss Helen Marie Thompson, brilliant young Terre Haute socialite, her opin- ion of the yacht and the trip, she an- swered, Oh, the trip is going to bc wonderful, and the yacht is just like a fioating city. Complete from its modern, well- equipped beauty shop to its tiny dress shop, the yacht is just like a fioating city . Its tables are served by none other than Ralph Detrick and Richard Forsythe, who, if you remember, are the authors of Second Helpingsn, the recipe book published last year by the Robert Needham Publishing Company, for the housewives of America. Assist.- ant chefs who are also doing big work in the field of cullinarv accomplishments are Howard Beck, Donnie McDaniel, Frank Weinbrecht, and John Hammer- ling. Baking will be supervised by Sam Charleck, who, leaving his bakery in Terre Haute, brought on the c1'uise Mrs. Charleck, formerly Helen Marie Riggs, and their small son, Marion F. Entertainment Well Provided For In the entertainment room, the fun- seeking class members found Tom Cun- diff and Kenny Gooding, the famous radio comedians, ready to keep things moving. Assistant funsters are Jack Sullivan and John Bailey, proprietors of Terre Haute's largest sporting gwoods store. The amusement hall is complete even to a small skating rink, which is managed by Jacquelyne Abel, Evelyn tContinued on next pagej 15011611 fvwt
