Book R ev i ew As our annual goes to press Passing of the Class of ' 39 has proved to be the year ' s best seller. This amazing book is based on happenings which occur over a period of twelve years. The first sequence takes place in 1927 at the Angola Public School, where we find the first group of characters, those who continue through- out the book, as follows: Mary Jane Damlos, Virginia Goodrich, Alvena Certain, Dean Brooks, Max Gray, Owen Mote, Ora Sierer, Betty Croth- ers, Lucy Ellen Handy and Marian Scoville. The next eight years are filled with trials and tribulations as our little group come to the exciting chapter of Entering High School. Others who have sought to cast their fortunes with our sturdy band at this time are sixty-seven in number. As the story develops mto a fascinating tale, we find that some are lost along the wa) ' and others are added to make up the difference. The final chapter takes place in Commencement Hall where fifty-one studious pdgnms are gathered to receive diplomas. What happens after their advent into the world will be added in a sequel to this book entitled It Could Be. Do not fail to add this en- grossing book to your library of memories. It is copyrighted in 193 8 and dedicated to Milo K. Certain. The book is published by Angola High School and sells for a priceless sum. — Virgiiihi Cure.

b v ouU iji The Empire State building, Broadway, and the great White Way! Yes, it was New York with all its skyscrapers and wonderful sights. Here I was in this glamorous city about to enter Rockefeller Center in the year 1949. As I entered the door I immediately spied a huge sculp- tured figure, and who should be the sculptress but Lola Miller. I strode across the huge room to the elevators and to my amazement heard Alarion Wallace yelling, Up please. Marion an elevator boy! I guess he just wasn ' t cut out to be a farmer and after all the ag. he took in Angola High School! Crowded into the rising elevator I suddenly became acutely aware of a sort of mumbling sound which seemed vaguely familiar. Why, of course, it was Bob Craig going over his latest oration to be given before a certain Senate committee next week. Just think — I went to school with Bob! I got off on the fifth floor and just outside the door I noticed a huge placard, which read — Baseball Game Today — Cubs vs. New York Yankees. Then followed the lineup for the teams. Was it pos- sible? Yes, there it was in bold type, Kenny German and Owen Mote pitching for the Yankees with Bill Toar Rhinesmith assisting on third base and Don Boyd on second. But what ' s this! Dayton Hensel, man- ager of the Yankees, wishes to state the proceeds will go for the annual charity drive. I just had to see that game. It reminded me of the good old games Angola used to play down at the ball diamond. I went down the hall and stopped in front of a huge door — James Morse, M. D., office hours 1:00 to 5:00. Well, Jim had come through. We all knew he wanted to be a medical man; we even got to calling him Doc back in 1939. I stepped inside the door and was greeted by Sec- retary Virginia Dunham. That shorthand and typing certainly came in handy! I sat down to wait for the doctor but not for long, because in a few minutes Katie Lou Bryan came through the door of Jim ' s inner office. Katie was the owner of an exclusive Fifth Avenue dress shop with Delores Liniger and Ruth Blackburn designing the fashionable costumes. Katie told me there wasn ' t a doctor in th world like Jim. Why, he ' d cleared up her nervous condition in two rnonths! She asked me to have lunch with her in the Sky Room and said that she ' d wait until I ' d seen Jim. Finally my time came. I was admitted to the inner office and immediately my eyes fell on Jim surrounded by a group of nurses, name- ly Betty June Rensch, Eleanor Mielke, and Ruth Badger. I also learned that just yesterday Maxine Fanning and Marian Scoville had left to fill some surgical vacancies at the city hospital. I stayed but a few minutes, then rejoined Katie. Again I was in the elevator going up and up, to the top floor. It nearly took my breath away! Finally we reached the Sky Room and were met by the head waiter. Dale Campbell, who be- cause we were old pals of his, gave us the best table. We had just been seated and had ordered our lunch when the dancing began, the music being furnished by Bob Zimmerman ' s zippy swing band. Richard Zeigler was playing trombone; Dean Brooks, trumpet; Tommy Hanselman, flute; and Eldon Andrew, sax; a pretty good percentage of the whole band were A. H. S. grads. It was certainly a smooth sounding outfit with Eleanor Miller as vocalist. The Band went on the air in fifteen minutes with Bob Horton announcing. Be- Pa:u- Tuenty-lwo
