Seniors Hit Print Glancing down from my work, I saw an issue of a 1959 Evening Record at my feet. Curious as to what my old classmates were doing, I picked it up on the chance that I might see some mention of them. The headlines were Klein Discovers 97th Element. The story beneath stated that Maurice Klein is a professor at M.I.T. and is recognized as the outstanding chemical engineer of our day. Farther down the page was a story about a plane that had crash landed in Cali- fornia. Due to the skill of the pilots and the quick thinking of the hostesses, few of the passengers were injured. The pilot was Jim Hoff, now making his home in Arizona, and the co-pilot was Jim Jordan of San Diego. Hostesses were Betty Kontros and Maxine Lemons. Aboard the plane were Jeanette Barber, noted Oregon psychiatrist and her nurse, Barbara LeRoy, Bill Ridenour, who was returning to his Marine Air Corps base after a brief visit homeg Joan Bolvin, secretary to David O. Selznikg and lVlarie Ensinger, who was returning to her home in Los Angeles. Billy Johnson and Wayne Wise were the mechanics in charge of investigating the cause of the crash. Farther down the page, an item about Joe Stoerkel caught my eye. He has unearth- ed a tomb of an ancient Egyptian pharoah. The president has appointed Phil Larcus chief engineer of the Columbia Valley Ad- ministration. His assistants will be Richard Bowland and Bill Balser. Well, I always said that Ernie Hollabaugh would come out on top. I read that he had just performed a successful operation for a rare heart disease which threatened the life of Elizabeth Prusak, employee of Clark's in Cleveland. Nurses assisting him were Marilyn DeLeone, Patty Devine, and Betty Schinke. Harold Wilson has a model agency in New York. Now he is in Akron with his chief photographer, Joe Myers, looking for new talent to add to his other great models who include Jerry Feiber, Claudia Livingston and Doris Hunt. Leonard Aristide's name came up on the local front. He has been given permission to extend his coach line to Sandy Lake for the summer. Paul Studer and Mike Giovinazzo, just back from Denver, are having the grand opening of their Tucker showroom and garage. Their chief mechanics are Lawrence Madonio and Doug Svoboda. Henri Pusker has been named manager of the A. C. Williams branch in Little Rock, Ark. Foremen for the new plant are Paul Wanstreet, Bob Wavrek, Pat Dimaso. George Dobrilovic, Bill Foster, and Frank Dill. Mary Jo Strickling and Marion Byers have been appointed to go as Pusker's secretaries. Turning to page two, I saw a design of an ultra modern home by the famed archi- tect, Donald Gray. Glancing down to the theater news, I saw that Ray Berkley's orchestra featuring Dorothy Ward and her clarinet was on the Palace stage in Cleveland. At the same time, I noticed that Hilda Myers is appearing at the Hanna in her new play before taking it to Broadway. The latest western from Bob Dustman and Mickey Delano's Broncho studio in Hol- lywood is now playing at the Ohio. It's The Battle of Bullet Basin and starred are Mario Tortorella and Jo Ann Franks. Jackie Case's picture appeared on the radio page. She stars in such daytime serials as Life with Lydia Lamplightf' and Life Can Be Pitiful and she also is heard with the great radio team of Tom Griffiths and Howard Hildebrand on their half hour show of comedy, philosophy, and music. 'Names of old classmates appeared often on the society page. Mary Solitro held a party for Carmella Provenzo and Hallie Eidson, both beauticians of Los Angeles, at her beautiful Shaker Heights home.
