Of«l AretU l »t» ' ol in ummfi- c»ft.x«.Ke Glj Oh Rav ' m»ry ni n IN THE DIM, This certainly was poor weather (or flying. I had to fly all night too. You see I was going to the 19 5 2 airplane show in New York City. Yes, I said airplane show. Cars were somewhat out of date at the time although they were still used. I wish the pilot of the plane coming toward me would get over on his own side of the air- way. Hey! what was he trying to do! Crash!! He made a left turn without giving me warn- ing and of course he ran right into me. Planes had safety devices, the use of which enabled the pilots to glide to a safe landing. Luckily there was an ariport near and we landed safe- ly on the good old terra firma of this port. I got out of my plane all ready to tell the oth- er pilot what a terrible driver he was, but when he walked over to my plane humbly to beg my pardon, who should he be but that big bug of a Bug Dole. Excuse me, you didn ' t know he was a big bug did you? He happened to be editor of the New York Times and several of the best magazines of the day. We hurried into the airport diner to wait while our planes were being repaired. We took a table near the door and waited to be served. The waitress hurried up to our table with the menu and who should she be but Bonnie Munn. She and her husliand, Arthur Goodrich, were running the airport and diner. Bug and I ordered, finished our lunch, and then he began to tell me about all the class of •34. Of course you know where Harry Hull is? Yes, I replied, I wonder how Harry ' s making out as United States ambassador to Russia? Very well, I believe, answered Bug. Do you ever hear from Jim McKillen? I asked. Oh, yes, he and Margaret Wilson are mar- ried and living in Indianapolis. They have two children. .Jim ' s in charge of some airplane tire company. How about Elyda Chaudoin? What became of her? That ' s funny, replied Bug. You know I ran into her yesterday. She has an exclusive dress shop in New York City. And Where ' s Winifred Robertson? She ' s one of my star-reporters. She is known in the city as one of the best women reporters. Just then the large passenger plane landed and many of the passengers came into the diner for something to eat, and last but not least among them came Joe Elmer. He was pitching for the Cubs. We learned from Joe that Gertrude Young and George Goudy were be- coming very famous in the South as the dance team Jerry and Larry. Joe said the pilot and hostess were coming right in and he invited them to eat with him as they were old friends of his. So Joe sat down at our table to wait for his friends. They came in very soon, and much to Bug ' s and my surprise they were Wayne Aldrich and Jane Beaver. They too sat down with us and Wayne began to tell us about the people he had seen lately that were in the class of ' 3 4. He had seen Ruth Yotter the night before. She was giving a concert in New York. I keep forgetting you didn ' t know she had gained international fame as a pianist and cellist. Her manager happens to be Dick Wilder. Wayne told us that Margaret De- Vinney had been on his plane from New York to Boston -the evening previous to the one he had seen Ruth. Margaret is president of Smith. a college for women. Jane had seen some of the old class too. She had told us that Marjorie Killinger and Alice Koos were running a gift and candy shop combined in a suburb of Boston. She had also seen that screen and stage favorite of the day. Max Newnam, in his latest stage production, Beaver Behave. Let ' s have some music, sugested Wayne. So he turned on the new television radio in the diner and whose orchestra should we get but Max Collins ' with Albert Omstead that silver toned tenor singing the vocal refrain Page twelve

DEPARTMENTS TIIEY HAVE A GOOD LINE— IN ART 09 Art is fundamentally a study of the beautiful. Since beauty is a study of the mind, it can not be satisfactorily defined. At the beginning of the year the art students made notebooks and placed sketch- es in them every week. You have noticed the art students, with notebooks and soft lead pencils in hand, seeking places out-of- doors to sketch. There appeared on the bulletin board in the art room during the year productions of some of the famous paintings of the cen- turies. Notes on the lives of the jiainters and their masterpieces were given the stu- dents during the week. Diu ' ing the year still life was consi lered. Studies were made in pencil, charcoal, water color, crayon, pastel, and pen and ink. Posters large and small were made by the art department. They were made to adver- tise the minstrel show, all basketball games, She Stoops to Concpier, and other drama- tic productions. Perspective was also an interesting phase of the art work this year, especially perspec- tive in buildings. The most interesting work of the ad- vanced class was the study of costume de- sign, which began with ancient times and included types up to the modern American dress. From these ancient costumes were designed modern dresses. This class pre- sented a chapel program portraying the dif- ferent -periods of female fashions from the Egyptians to the present day. The art department sponsored a program at the Parent-Teachers ' meeting in ilarch. Esther Gettings gave a talk on the famous painters and ' their masterpieces of the many centuries. An exhibit of the work of Indiana artists was held in May. Artists exhibiting were Wheeler, Hadley, Davisson, the ilcBrides, Yeager, Stark, and Richey. In connection with this there was an exhibit of the Fort Wayne Art School and of the high school. Life is juct a picture, hung in light or shade, And our hand must hang it, steady, unafraid. In that endless gallery lined with works of men, Where will be our corner at the journey ' s end? Will the light surround us or in darkness deep, Dust begrimed, forgotten, must our canvas sleep? HOME MAKIN(i DEPARTMENT At the close of a visit to the United States about eighty years ago, Brillat Sava- rin summarized his opinion of American civ- ilization by exclaiming, One hundred reli- gions and only one sauce. ' He saw America before it had fairly begun to emerge from its necessary period of crude jnoneering. The country had not reached the sauce stage. l)Ut that period has passed. The pioneers liave killed the snakes and b iilt the liridges. We are busy paving the roads, d eveloping parks and playgrounds, improv- ing- scliools, refining our tcchni(|ue, increas- ing oui ' efficienc.v and our leisure, learning how to li e. Learning how to live is the aim of our Home ilaking department. The kind of life one lives depends largely upon the ki)id of household of which he is a member. If one ' s family life lacks the amenities, the spiritual beauties, the sauces that bring out the fiiu ' savor of which life is capable, he is likely to be seriously handicapped. The highest aim of our course is to provide these sauces along with the physical well-being which prevails in every good home. Genuine home-making is much more than what is called housekeeping. Good house- keeping is a sine (|ua non of honu ' -raaking, l)ut is not sufficient. In addition to this, successful home-mak- ing re(|uires provision for the culture and happiness of the family, for the intellectual, sjiiritual, and esthetic well-being of the household. Our department is endeavoring to develop these principles. Genuine home-making is an exceedingly difficult and supremely important undertak- ing. It is a business, a science, and an art. It is the greatest of all of the professions. WE MADE IT IN INDUSTRIAL ARTS CLASS The drawing class of the industrial arts department, under the direction of Mr. Dygert, has made many perspective draw- ings this year; one drawing of the new school building was jn-odiiced. The class in woodwork has made as projects tables, lamp stands, plant stands, lamps, broom holders, magazine racks, hall trees, bird houses, ferneries, pin trays, book ends, two-tone mallets, which are very popular, an inlaid checkerboard of maple and walnut , and scenery for pla.vs. Page eleven

triorie V»tedr etQrNi Gertie DIM FUTURE of the piece. Of course we could see the or- chestra and part of the dining room where tliey were playing. We discovered John VanAman and Ed Williamson eating noodles. They were giving the orchestra some competition. John had invented some new razorless shaving cream that was very effective. Ed had gone in busi- ness with him. The music stopped and the an- nouncer stepped up to the microphone; he was none other than Hank Holderness in the flesh. We also saw Roscoe Haley having dinner with a pretty blonde. Don ' t be misled, she was Mrs. Haley Wayne, Jans, and Joe had to leave, so Bug and I decided to go out to the hangar. Both of the mechanics were working on my plane and when they stepped out where we could see them, there they were together again, Russell Guilford and Herschel Clark. Russell had been in Angola very recently and he could tell us all about everyone there. Charlie Carr and Opal Boelinger were mar- ried and Charlie was teaching agriculture in Fremont High. Alberta Cole was the sheriff in Steuben county. She was following right in her father ' s footsteps. Helen Dreher and Mariellen Sierer were in business together. They were running a new electric laundry. Russell said they were doing a booming business. Yes, and Byron Duckwall was coaching football and basketball at our Alma Mater. Herschel had the last edition of the Angola Herald so Bug and I whiled away the time read- ing the paper until they could finish our planes. One of the first things I read was that Helen Casebeer had visited in Angola. She was in charge of a very large business school in Chi- cago. I read that some of our school mates were teaching in the Angola Public Schools. Almeda Wells was teaching fifth grade and Gladys Ger- man was teaching U. S. history In the high school. And then I saw the name of Professor Madelyn Meyers of Tri-State College. My, my. Madelyn was in charge of the commercial de- partment of Tri-State. Oh, yes, I noticed here that Mrs. Hubert Oswald, formerly Miss Esther Gettings, of An- gola, had been in Angola for several days pay- ing her mother a visit. Then Bug started reading the advertise- ments. The Griffith Oberlin Garage! Why, that was Raymond Grifiith and Hubert Oberlin; and there it said Special: 101 pounds cattle feed for $2.00 at the Kurtz and Meyers Feed Store. You know that vi-as Lawrence Kurtz and Kenneth Meyers. Bug turned the page and started to read the society notes. Mr. and Mrs. Willis Roberts (of course you knew Harriet Ewers was i Irs. Roberts) had recently entertained with a theatre party, read Bug. And listen to this. Jane Brown, seven year old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Rus- sel Brown, had a birthday party! Why, that is Janie Miller ' s daughter. And she is seven years old! How time does fiy. I finally made Bug quit being such a pig and I got a chance to look at the paper. Here it said Special on meats at the Weljb butcher shop — of course that was Weir Webb. There also was an advertisement for the Kemmerling and Sunday Tea Room. Ah, I read that the Hotel Hendry has turned Hotel Sheffer on us. By the time we had finished reading, our planes were ready for us. There were just three of our class mates we hadn ' t been able to locate, Dorotha Zimmerman, LaVerge Wyatt and Wauneta Wells. I asked Russell where Dorotha was and he informed me that she was his wife. Herschel told me that LaVerge and Wauneta had gone to Hollywood to make a screen test. They hoped to become as famous as the team Laurel and Hardy were in our younger days. Our planes were now ready, so we bade our friends goodbye and hurried on our ways. — Emily Ruth Croxton.
