ME: C' .. ll M QC7- KZ! 2 Qin AIR RECEPTIO GALA EVENT Cream Of Society Present At Notable Celebration ff- ? ,, , By Paul Trepinski THE house was brilliantly lighted as I drove up in my Phifer V-8. The party, the most brilliant social event of the year, with Robert Ridenour as host, was to bring together many members of the 1934 graduating class of Woodward High School. By the way, I suppose that most of you did not know that Bob is a successful engineer now. After handing my car over to Emil Hiltman, the garage man, I proceeded into the house. The butler, William Hester, met me at the door. After I was announced, the first person I met was Bob, who volun- teered to show me through the house in order to help me re- port this gala affair. He took me into the living room, and to my query stated that the plans for the house had been drawn by Fred Hanna, that it had been built by Robert Lefevere, and that the in- terior decorating had been done by Grace Spaulding. He also told me that the party was being given for Tilma Rololf, the first woman to fly around the world. He then took me to the library where I saw Clarence Heck, the famous explorer, Roman Nuszkiewicz, the Russian dictator, Virginia Zitz, the star of the famous play Campus Days , and Carl Dority, a famous author, all pleaasntly chatting. On the other side of the room I saw Jerry Petrucha, Congressman from Ohio, Paul Pohorecki, a world-famed artist, Pauline Wilson, the sculptress, and Lillian Williams, the famous critic, all engaged in a stir- ring bridge game while David Weiss, the world-famed bridge expert, looked on. In the men's room there was a large group talking about the good old days. In this group were Marcel Olender, who is a famous cartoonist, David Olson, who manages a haber- dashery, Henry Nichpor, who owns the largest bakery in the state, Ralph Nopper, who teaches math at Ohio State, and Meyer Novick, who, with Phillip Moore, runs a cleaning establishment. On the other side of the room Dr. Leo Morow- ski, the eye specialist, was being questioned about the recent operation he had performed on William Donovan, the movie star. Some of the group were Chester Mikol, Max Minor and James Moll, partners in a law firm, George Margy, an elec- trician, Benny Malaska, a professional football star, Louis Michalak, a partner of Edward J ankowski and Chester Matu- szak in the printing business. Ted Kosydar was seen renew- ing old acquaintances with Frank Michalak, who, with Gifford Meacham and Ted Czarcenski, plays on the New York Giants' Basketball Team, which, by the way, is managed by Jim Follas. Ted is a superintendent at the Smith-Melber Auto Company, Lloyd and Franklin bought out the Vsfillys-Overland way back in 1939. Bob and I proceeded to the dining room where a buffet supper was being served by the chef, Joe Fishler. Around the punch bowl I noticed Maxine and Ethel Dull, who own a millin- ery shop on Superior Street, Jean Clifton, Stanley Lupinski and Margaret Williams, who were members of the last Olympic Team, and Adela Brodecki and Frank Justin, who recently co- starred in Isn't Love Grand, that interesting play written by Don Dietsch and Walter Zych. In the opposite side of the room I noticed Alex Dankowski, warden of the Ohio State Peniten- tiary, Leo J ablonski, Henry Czarnecki, and David Essick, guards at the prison, Louise Miller, a famed dietician, Laverne Sautter, Sweetheart of Broadway , and Hattie Nareski, the only woman member of Fred Leighton's Serenaders which also includes Willard Bonham, Mike Tarnow, and William King. I then was conducted to the billiard room, a beautiful room furnished with several Francis billiard tables. At one end of the tables Fred Freeman and George Grover, two famous players, were exhibiting their skill. Among those witnessing the game were George Carr, county prosecutor, Mae McKnight, a council member, Don Gardner, a Criminal lawyer, and Al Meissner, the owner of a large furniture factory. At the side of the room I saw Carl Corthell, a sports writer, Kathryn McDonald, a torch singer, Abe Margel, the publisher, and Irene Stackowicz, president of the Toledo Women's Bar Association, who told me that the association now includes Jean Mathie, Jane Mack, and Georgette Lutife. Around one of the other tables were Lois Waters, successor of Texas Guinan, Sam and Louis Forman, president and secretary of the U. S. Iron Corporation, Carl Nalodka, the long distance runner who recently won the mile in the Milrose games, which were promoted this year by Willis Zipfel and Eugene Lukowski, and Gertrude Wegener, superintendent of St. Vincent's Hospital, where Dr. Charles Sampson is the chief physician. Charles told me that while he was in New York for the games he met many former Woodward students, among them were Mollie Rubin, Margery Devlin, and Irene Walczykowski, who conduct a language school in New York, Ray Zimmerman, who, with John Tokes and Francis Walczak, runs a chain of cut-rate drug stores, and that famous quartette composed of Jesse Quinn, Ralph Boyd, Hugh Collins, and Otis Swan which is now entering its sixth week of a contract with the Golden Slipper Cafe, managed by Elizabeth Vinson and Anna Zoska. In one corner there was a large group discussing Secretary of State DiX's stand in regard to Japan. In this group were Orten Adair, Ambassador to Spain, Edward Krecoich, governor of Ohio, Margaret N asta, a Municipal Court Judge, Louise Walker, a librarian, Alberta Winger and Betty Jane Waite, managers of a very stylish clothing shop, Stanley Nowak, the football coach at T. U., and Melvin Zygula, a renowned jeweler. Bob then took me into the drawing-room where several guests were putting on a minstrel show. Ronald Chinneck, the magazine illustrator, Alvin German, crooner, Al Grubinski, and Dan Slawski, the lightweight and the middleweight cham- pions respectively, Vivian Wells and Steve Topor, dancers, and Park Shaw, impersonator, were entertaining with their various talents. In the crowd that watched this amazing dis- play of skill, I noticed Ruth Jaegle, Irene Holewinski, and June- rose ImOberstag, successors to the Boswell sisters, Charles Stewart, the Attorney-General of Ohio, Corabelle Kehrer, Dis- trict Attorney, Stanley Szych, a cigarette king, Russell Shugar- man, an auto dealer, Mildred Clukey, an operator of a circula- ting library, Lillian Burr, a history teacher at New York Uni- versity, Ed Zylka, the meat magnate, Joe Zawlocki, the weather man, Louis Zarnoch and Louis Zelazny, manufacturers of Dutch Boy cigars, Leola Taylor, sobsister, Mary Louise Vance, a part- ner of Helen Swiderski in an acrobatic team, Bill Tyrrell, a radio operator, Catherine Trepinski, secretary to Charles Steck, and Julian Sommers, an operator of a brokerage office, Merrill Slane, the famed violinist, Joe Andrzejewski, and Edmund San- kowski, makers of history for the Pirates, Melvin Antoine, head of the syndicate which includes Joe Kuron, John Kuszek, Grover Kenyon, and William Laston, managers of a large number of neighborhood theatres, and Fred Maseman, a part- ner of Walter Marscheider in the shoe business. Bob told me that a poker game was going on up stairs, and I went up to look on. As I opened the door, I was greeted by George Crawford, the banker. After seating myself near the game, I looked around and saw Jack Bruhl, the financier, George Assally, second vice-president of the Lion Store, Walter J aworski, a business rival, Eleanor Eckhart, an heiress, and her secretary Alice Gertz, Milton Cykowski, a successful prospector, Dave Dembinski and Edmund Hammer, wealthy shirt manufacturers, Edwin Holmes, vice-president of the Hueb- ner brewery, Bill Evans of the New York Giants, Stanley Pa- welczak, world-renowned dentist, Leonard Letke, O. S. U. track coach, and Robert Kleinhans, a rich photo-engraver. In one of the big chairs I noticed a familiar face. It was none other than Jack Bletterman, the successor of Joe Brown, who after becoming bored with the movies, financed Helen
