WIRELESS TO ST PETER Right Hand Gatepost, Heaven’s Portals June i, 1933 Dear Peter, In accordance with your wishes, I have looked up the class of ’23 from Angola High. I find they are doing very well. None of them are ready yet for your attention or advice and they are all health}' enough to stay on Earth for years longer. Here are a few of the notes which I have jotted down about them: Doc Wolfe. He graduated from his Dental college with honors and is now specializing in filling work. His office is the “Goodrich Filling Station’’ on the Pleasant Lake road. Marion Graham is happy in his ideal job. He is with the El Ropo Cigar Co. and his office hours are from twelve to one wit ban hour for lunch and an assistant. Pauline Taylor and Jack Mayfield are not prosperous, but quite happy, apparently. I saw them frying bacon and eggs over a gas jet in a boarding house. They are making expenses by playing one nlight stands in “Uncle Tom’s Cabin.” Maisie F air and Howard Flaishans make, sell and demonstrate the excellent product—“Xever-crack Face Enamel.” They, also, seem very happy and have made a fortune. I find Beulah Flaishans on the feature staff of the Chicago Tribune. Her column is “Advice to the Lovelorn” and it is read all over the states. Some of her steady readers and questioners are: Emmet Spade, Ruth Alvi-son, Eugene Yockey and Helen McNeal. I saw Lyle Clark loafing around a stage door in Detroit. Some one said he was waiting for Eleanor Robertson. A burly policeman walked up and ordered him away. As I watched, I was astounded to see them look twice at each other and then shake hands frantically. I came closer and found that the policeman was Eddie Collins. I never should have known him, had it not been for his laugh. Ruth Barber is now the editor of “College Humor.” On her staff are two of her old classmates—Mary Benfer and Dorothy Burns. They are striving to give the public better work. I was unable to locate Ruth Wert. Pauline Fredrick, Audra Faulk or Iona Iddings. However. I have heard rumors concerning them which hint at fashion shows and models. Lurene Klink runs a boarding house, and she has become so prosperous that she no longer works at all, save in the mornings. Then she flips the pancakes, because none of her assistants can perform this delicate duty with the true artistic touch. Allene Lowther and Arlene Fast are tennis champions, this year. Clark Bowles and Wendell German are caddying for golf players and Yolande Miller holds the world’s record for checkers. Evidently ’23 still has her athletic spirit. Bertha Perkins is a farmer’s wife. She raises Baldwin apples, and every year she is visited by Mr. Braman who advises her concerning them.
