..1x-fggwcfm-,,,, ,,.-ff7ls.1f'f:: 1A'LJjI9' . - Gilman lgrnphvrg Nocahian, Ohio. May 2, 1940. Dear Miss Finney: I have just heard in the news over the radio that you have re- turned to the States after your areoplane trip to Europe and in return for your most interesting letter telling of your travels I thought 1'd write and tell you the news of our colony here. Nocahian, you know was founded by the class of twenty-five . First I want to tell you of the reception that was given last week for our new mayor, the one and only, Raymond Nelius. He certainly ought to know how to govern us after those two years of presidency in High School. Don't you think so? Of course the party was a gala affair, and oh dear, the gowns! Nearly all of them were from La Petite Modiste Shoppe the propri- etors of which are none other than the Misses Shook and Manchester Kas they used to bel. They are both married now, but still manage their shop. Julia married that school friend of hers and Catherine married a man whom she met at college. It certainly seemed good to see the old school-mates together again, even though we do live in the same colony. It seemed especially good to see Mr. Clouser Cnom de plume Richard De Barriej for he has just returned from his European engagement as concert pianist. You know he has done a great deal to develop the new type of American music. Also one of our other travelers was there-Mlle. Reed-who has finished a season with The Little Theatre Company as a French actress. She entertained us with a monologue of one of the acts that she uses. Yesterday on my way down town to get a marcell at Dot's Shop QDot, you will remember, was Dorothy Bausher. Now she has a chain of wonderful Beauty Shops and they all certainly do fine workl I stopped at Rened Art Shoppe to see my old friend Maurine, who is the proprietor. fShe surely has a clever shopj Maurine has been married twice and at present her last husband-Mr. VVarstler-is sueing her for divorce on grounds of neglect and desertion. She told me all about the case-Attorney Kolp is his lawyer and Judge Dieble will pre- side-the two men have become very famous in both local and state Page Ttcwlly-ji':'r

Perhaps the last year was the happiest of the high school life. In this year the class realized that it was the close of their high school career. Many class parties were held which increased the class spirit. Another distinguishing feature of the activities of this year was the publication of an annual. In this as in everything else the class suc- ceeded, even though it is the first time in the history of N. C. H. S. that such a feat was attempted. We are proud of our achievements in dramatics, athletics, scholarship and all other school activities, and Wish the school the best ot success forthe future. lhryfi' 'llrnwllpx'-ffvzrl'

I also stopped at Jean's Tea Room and there met my old pal Doris. She still has charge of the school district here although she has finally settled down and helps to boss the most modern farm in the country-quite a show place. She mentioned that she had just accepted the application of Beulah Holl as an English teacher in our High School, and also that of Frieda Styer as teacher of Science and Mathematics. She said that they had gotten Cairo, Egypt over the radio and had heard a very good concert. You know the radio sets that we get from Joe Stephan's Radio shop certainly are marvelous. He has perfected the ring set-I got one for my birthday last year. This is surely the Day of Women for although most of them are married yet they keep up a vocation. Jeanette has a very success- ful tea room-everything is so good. Lucile is' President of our bank, of course that is a very rare case, but she enjoyed her position as Treasurer so much in school that she made a study of banking and so she is today at the head of the Nocahian City Bank. Esther was married last Christmas Day to a famous young doc- tor. Before, she had charge of the athletic affairs for women at our Community Center. At church Sunday Reverend Dixon preached a fine sermon on the merits of the new stage masterpiece-''Enchantment . ' Our church is a beautiful building. It was just completed last year-Glen Warstler was the contractor. Anderson Schiltz made the drawings and so the building is an exceptional piece of art. He also made the plans for the beautiful high arched windows that are widely famed for their beauty in keeping with the purpose of the building. Edward Marquet as electrical engineer and William Wright were also of great assistance in the planning and construction of the church. The same company built our Community Center Building also. Eugene Schafer is the Director of the building and he certainly has made a success of it-both financially and socially. Paul Burky is Gen- eral Secretary and is given credit for his share in the general success of the institution. As I looked out of the window near my desk a moment ago I saw a Scarlet Top taxi pass and that reminds me of Albert DeMuesy who has charge of and has built up a fine taxi service. He is also manager of a large garage downtown and is quite well known for some of the improvements he has made on the Chevrolet car. Pays T'ZC'k'l1f-l Sl.1'
