- - United Poultry and Creamery Company at 2468 Easy Street. She spoke of Dorothy Bil- lieu Keit.h's new arrivals-Harold Jr. and Dotty. Mr. and Mrs. Keith HOW live at 2345 Well-Known Street there in Cleveland. In Chicago I was attracted by a large neon sign reading Brownies Beauty Salon. I was very much surprised to ind that Marjorie was the proprietor. She is Very happy in her new shop. Flora Stemen and Ruby Cowgill had just stopped in for facials. 'They are air hostesses on the Trans-Western Air Lines but despite the fact that they have little spare time, they keep that school-girl neatness. They told me that on their last stop in Fort Wayne, Indiana, they had seen Anna Hurless who is now in her luxurious summer dwelling. Albert is President of the G, E. there. Before coming back to Ohio City, I flew to Europe to see Earl Clouse who is a pilot of the European American Air Lines. He spends most of his time going from London to New York but mentioned the fact that just recently he had seen Bud Hoffman in Americanized Germany. Bud was busy digging a grave for Germany's former headline man who died in his cell two weeks ago. Upon reaching San Francisco, I was informed that Joan Dull. after completing four years primary and two years secondary training as a private secretary, is now employed by the First Grand National Bank of that city. Proceeding eastward, I passed through Colorado. There I learned that Orville Myers had just received a medal for heroism. He saved the lives of a family of seven skunks while working with the Forest Rangers there. My next stop was in Indianapolis. There I met Bob Stahl. Bob informed me that he had just graduated from civil engineering school and had a position in the Acme Con- struction Company. Dorotha Newton is a member of the secretarial staff there. My arrival in Ohio City was a very pleasant one. I noticed many new additions to the town. One of the buildings was especially attractive to my eye and I stopped to inquire as to whom it belonged. To my great surprise it was the new home of Norman Taylor. He and his wife, the late Marcella Stump, had just completed the mansion on Carmean Street. Mort has become section foreman on the Erie railroad and is doing very nicely as a first class boss. I was talking to General Paul George Mosier who had just returned from Ameri- canized Germany. We were discussing the old times we used to have when Paul Fauble strolled up. He had just bought another team of horses and a new tractor for his 300 acre farm located two miles south of Dansville. Everything is going very smoothly there. Alice Cooper and her husband are now at home on their new farm west of Van Wert. Word has been received that Eloise Eibllng and a certain H. M. have eloped. The parents think they have gone to Niagara Falls. I visited the dear old Alma Mater and discovered that Edna Mae Stutz has se- cured a position there as home economics teacher. I was very much disappointed that I didn't get to see Dr. Joseph Irvin. Because of a much needed rest, he was vacationing in Northern Canada with his good friend and close business mate, Paul D. -Switzer, the city mortition. Upon his return Joe is going to Elida to try the Two can live as cheaply as one plan. We hope Norma will be happy. I read in the now daily Ohio City Progress that Dick Ellinger received headline glory when he hit a home run that scored three runs for the Yankees. I also noticed on the society page that Pauline Kelsey is going to New York where she will become Mrs. Good Luck! On my return trip to New York I stopped in Philadelphia and was very surprised to see Elmer Woods. He is now head massager at DufTy's Reducing Emporium. And so, having fully recuperated, I'm back in New York and have signed for another fight next month: If you wish to come. I will arrange for ringside seats. Signed: Bill Book. P. S. How's your big boy by now?

CLASS PROPHECY OF '43 New York, New York May 20, 1949 Mr. W. C. Drager, Supt. Cleveland Schools Cleveland, Ohio, Dear Mr. Drager: Due to the many changes that have taken place since I graduated from high school. I feel it has been twenty years instead of only six. For the past three years I have gone in for professional prize fighting and in addi- tion to the nice bag of money I take in now and then, I have met some very interesting personalties, I thoroughly enjoy my career which to many would be a mere waste of time. During my last bout I received a badly sprained ankle when my opponent. Pedro Monzo, struggled to pull me to the floor at Madison Square Gardens after I had thrown him for the final count of ten. I have not regretted these few weeks of recuperation, however, as I have toured the world in my new PQ-4 Rocket-ship. During this tour I have visited most all of my classmates of the class of '43. Now please do not grade this as you once did my test papers, but I thought per- haps you too would be interested in knowing the whereabouts of that good old class of '43, Before leaving New York, I met David Blush, who is now manager of the Song Bird Night Club there. He informed me that only last week he had featured Alice Rickard, the new song star. He also told me that Recie Ellinger had visited the club several days ago. She had just returned from Australia where she has been in home nursing school, She mentioned that Lois King and Meda High have not as yet returned to take nursing positions in the States. Gene Ellinger, also of New York, though making good money as a stock-broker on Wall Street, will probably be the next President of these United States, My next stop was in Tampa, Florida, where Mrs, Romayne Harrison Shindeldecker was spending a few weeks with her husband. Walter is president of the All Star Con- struction Company. Lucille Roberts was a guest of Romayne, She is taking dying lessons there in Tampa and expects to solo in a few weeks. Lucille had just received a letter from Vivian Mihm who was on an ocean honeymoon with her husband. Admiral Robert Davis, With the exception of one spell of seasickness, they were having a grand time. In Cleveland I called on Arlene Krugh, who is the new manager of the Krugh-Kline
