Class Prophecy Ever since the day I graduated from Hamburg High I've promised myself a trip to New York, and Atlantic City. Now I find I am- able to go. I was deeply absorbed in my plans for this trip when Pat Goddard called to say she had just flown in from New York, where she was chief buyer for Sax's 5th Avenue. She said her boss, Liz Cain, had sent her to Buffalo on a business trip, and she decided to stop off at her old home town. We arranged to meet at Harring- ton's Hash House for lunch, and, of course, the talk ran to dear old Hamburg High and our old classmates there. Pat told me that Jenni Simon's Ice Revue had just opened in Madison Square Garden. J ack Irish, she said, is famous all over New York for his lectures on international relations. Gil Gregory, who is now re- ferred to as Dr. Gregory, 'Ph.D., LL.D., is a distin- uished professor of philosophy at Yale. Clayton iflachmer and Nancy Slade are doing research for their um teenth degrees at Columbia University? 'lijaking a deep breath, she continued, Ed Kehe is botany-expert at Cornell, where Alice Kuczka is teach- ing sychology. Marianne Hall and Nan J azembak are Sie talk of the fashion world for their illustrations in Mademoiselle. Dotty Petrella is their alluring model. Mary Lee McCausland and Les Andrew have won the leads in Jim Gouldis new play. Mildred Smith, Barb Welch, and Norb Bley also have parts. The play rehearsals must be like Old Home Week. After atiently awaiting my chance, I managed to break in here to tell her that Bob Naber is editing The Hamburg Evejing Journalf, our first daily newspaper, with Jim Lea , Doug Lockwood, and Gloria Anderson, as the star reporters. Mary Ann Bieger and Joe Hoeber are running a hat shoppe located next to Art J aniak and Don Kent's Photography Studio. Farther down on Main Street is Smith Bros., now managed by Marilyn Smith. We decided to make a visit to our old Alma Mater before Pat left, where we found Jo Gonzalez an able Spanish teacher, and Janet Smith and Mary Jane Tay- lor girls, gym instructors. That night I went to the airport with her, and met Jerry Morhardt, the new manager of the Detroit Ti- gers and Dick Clarke, football coach at Notre Dame, headed for Great Lakes Naval Training Station to congratulate Bob Maringer and Tom Eva, who had just received their stripes as Navy Captains. When I left for New York the following week I met Barb Glanz, who was the air hostess on the plane. When she said Verne Slighter and Fran Weidner were at the controls, I relaxed. Also on the plane were Mary Anne Michie and Jane Dalziel, now Hamburg society women, going to New York for a week of shopping and fun. They said they had decided to stay at the Waldorf to renew old acquaintances with its manager Willie Kueh- ler and his wife, Betty Barton. I decided to go along with them to look up Liz Kunz, who, I heard, is a very efficient hostess there. While in New York I made it a point to see Bob Girst's Revival of Vaudevillef' staged at Tom Rey- nold's sumptuous new theatre. Among the billings were: Yasabel Newton and Harriet Oredson, acrobatic dancers:, Shirley Kelley and Mary Best doing a song and dance number, Don Gibbons, worldis champion weight lifter, and Peg Logel, tightrope dancer. The ,next afternoon I visited Dot Hummel, head surgical nurse at Presbyterian Hospital. She told me the Jean Miller was in charge of the accident cases there, where Mario Dellaccecca is a resident doctor. I met Marilyn Horton, author of the Book-of-the- Month Club selection for June, and we went to dinner at the Stork Club, where Nel Salverson's band, with Bernie Brice and Sal Trippe, was playing dinner music. I was amazed at the news that Rita Meyers was running a confectionary shop, appropriately called, Ye Olde Gossip Shoppe, and that Jeanne Baer married an Englishman with a very important title, and is now living in Cherio, on the coast of southern England.

She, in turn, was amazed to hear that Marge Abbott and Shirley Fallon are married to French noblemen, and are in the Parisian social register. How do they do it? Another choice bit was the news that Patsy Barrett is the present missionary to East Aurora. On my way back to the hotel I bought a paper. As usual, I turned to the theatre section first, and saw that my old chum, Pat Mifiin, is starred in the ballet which opened last week in Piller's Palace, gorgeous New York Theatre, and the Ziegfield Follies, with Sally fLamourJStimson, will be filmed. Scanning the sports section I found this article, Ann Stowel, better known as 'Butch,' manager for Mary Ellen Stevens, the world's champion lady wrestler, announces that 'Stevie' will be in New York this week. Picking up the society section, I found that Mr. and Mrs. Richard Sterrett were entertaining a small roup of friends in honor of William McShane, Pitts- Bur steel tycoon. After dinner, the party will go to the IVIetropolitan to hear Betty Jane Barrett and Dona- beth Shoop singing duets from the operas. Among the guests will be Mr. McShane's brother, Henry, present mayor of Buffalo. As I folded the paper I noticed a familiar face. It was Gordie ' Bruce's, who is now modeling Stetson hats for Gille and Kranz super haberdashery, on Fifth Ave- nue. Before I left New York I had to visit the Bronx Zoo, and .who should show me around but Bill Frantz, the head keeper. As we passed the monkeys, I saw Dante Casselli feeding them. Bill said he was in charge of all the monkeys in the zoo. As I walked out of the main gate, after thanking Bill for a most enjoyable afternoon, I waited to cross the intersection. After wondering what had happened to the policeman, I noticed the gleam of a badge. Its wearer was Shirley Ash, who had left her motorcycle, to read the riot act to Dick Dougherty who thought he was still on the speedway in his slick yellow Cadillac convertible. While sightseeing around Times Square I stopped at Bill Donovan's exclusive magazine stand to buy the latest movie magazine. I decided on the one with a picture of Doris Donhauser on the cover. Paging through it swiftly, I stopped when I saw an article about Robert Herrmann's latest production, which will be filmed in technicolor. The script has been written by Martha Eder, and will be directed by Con- chetta Zappia and Lorretta Riehle, with Joan Buchan- ann and Jean Purdy doing the Costuming. As the walk had become longer than I expected, I hailed a passing taxi. After exchanging greetings with the driver, who turned out to be Dolores Goodwin, she urged me to attend the concert given by Kathryn Kollatz and Doris Moyer, where they will play their own interpretation of Joan Laubacher's latest sonata. However, I couldn't make it as my train left for At- lantic City at 6:35 P.M. Knowin Iid better make a reservation before train time I caged the station. The 30 familiar voice of Dot Bailie answered, and asked what department I wished. She told me the train would leave a little early, in order to miss the thunderstorm that Dolores Walters, railroad weatherwoman, had predicted. Later, on my way to board the train, I passed Char- lotte Nesbit and Ann Witherel, who told me they were both married and living in a small town just out- side New York. On the train I met Phyllis Platt and Norma Van Camp headed for Florida on a vacation from their duties as housewives. Phyllis said that Gene Cary, because of his red hair and freckles, has taken over Van J ohnson's title, and Marian and Marie Peters are running Peters' Press Agency, Hollywood., with Ruth Ottinger as their star agent. After arriving at my destination, I ran into Janice Wirtner, who had just finished a portrait in oils of Jerry Cullen, present commander of Annapolis. She offered me a ride downtown in her car, one of those made by Jim Snyder, which I accepted with pleasure as I did not know my way around the city. After re- peated attempts to start the car, in vain, she called Bill Shoemaker and Jack Lamm, ace mechanics, to tow it away. We deliberated on visiting Julia F rier's Toffee Shop or going for a stroll along the boardwalk. We were in doubt of the Toffee Shop's being open even- ings, so we decided on the stroll. 4 While strolling I asked her if she knew that Jo Andres and June Weinheimer were running a cosmetic firm in Miami. I also mentioned that Norma Weaver, Ruth Tucker, Vernita Rogers, and Rita Stang had organized a secretarial agency. Farther along we met Jim Craw- ford who is head of a deep-sea-diving concern in Pago- Pago. His main interest was the large oyster bed in the harbor, where he expects to find many priceless pearls. The best of them will go to Dave Cameron, who will turn them over to Jerry Grosjean of Tiffany's. Down on beach we met Dick McGrath and Nelson Klipsie, star trackmen, on a well-earned rest. Because it was rather late and I was tired from my journey, Janice suggested we go to her home. When we reached the house, we found her car had just been re- turned by Bill Bishop, who works with Bill and Jack. We were just in time for Pierce Schneider's nightly news review. In his slow drawl he announced: Con- gresswomen Loretta Wozniak Mary Ubelhare, and Charlotte Pillion stand in opposition to Senator Robert Monckton's bill. Dolores Smikat, U. S. ambassador to Venezuela has resigned. Her secretary, Irma Miller, stated that Dr. Smitkat gave no reason for her resigna- tion. Donald Haecker, lawyer for Miss Virginia Killian, diamond heiress, announced today that Miss Killian has given her faithful employee, Margaret Ervolina, a piece of property on Long Island Sound in recogni- tion of her servicesf, He signed off with the news that Lillian Stroup has just been appointed counselor of the 4-H Clubs of America. I feel this trip was well worth my time, for I learned much about my former classmates of Hamburg High School.
