CLASS PROPHECY I received a letter from Mr. Stockton last week and he was quite enthusiastic about his class that graduated in 1945. It is now 1955 and most of them seem to be settled down, although they are scattered far and wide. Mr. Stockton started looking for his pupils around home first. This is the first year he has been away from old West Carrollton High School. He is now a retired teacher. The first two he found were Norma Jean Brown Throckmorton and Don Throckmorton, maid and butler for Governor Cox. Dayton has quite a few of the old class, so it seems. Joan Denning is a beauty operator and Doris Moore is working at the Mayfair as chorus girl. She is in the first row, the third from the left end. Charles McElwee made quite a success it seems. He is sports commentator over WHIO. Bob Kelley is also very outstanding and having a wonderful time as the instructor for fat ladies at the reducing club. Still trudging away is Dolores Borger. She has started her third hope chest. Betty Ertel is very busy in the kitchen cooking beans for Dick and family. Dayton has a very good undertaker now. Morris Bellware is very good with the help of Viola Grewatz. Mr. Stockton flew in a plane, piloted by Martha Miller, to New York to see how many prodigies he could find there. He stopped at the New Yorker Hotel and who should be the owner but Margaret Tackett. Dick Rowe's Orchestra was playing at the hotel that night and he also ran into Patsy Kokenge there who is a dietician and a very efficient one, too. Pat O Dell and Alberta Treon are very prosperous women in the art of designing for Mademoiselle . Pat designs hats and Alberta, dresses. He then went to Powers Models to see Mary Alice Fite. She is one of the very best. The fact that Phyllis Root is an old maid school teacher, was very hard to believe. She also is in New York. Patsy Shade was on her vacation; she was taking it in New York and while she was there she saw Mr. Stockton. She is now playing the flute in Carnegie Hall. She is very famous. Marian Pfeiffer is now in Akron, Ohio working as head bookkeeper for Du Pont Inc. I guess Mr. Stockton had a swell time while he was in Akron. He then went to Chicago by train and stayed at the largest hotel in Chicago where Dottie Foskuhl is hostess. Norma Branner was here on her vacation staying at the same hotel. She is an Opera Star on Columbia Stage Show. An all girl orchestra was playing at the hotel in Chicago and Helen Downs was really making her fingers move over those piano keys.
