'V' I ,, W THE TOMAHAWK SENIOR CLASS PROPHECY Liverpool, England, October 6, 1946. Mr. Francis William Ross, 431 Dartmouth Ave., Duluth, Minnesota. . Dear Francis: At no end of trouble and expense I have located every member of the class of '26 of Battle Ground High School, and you know we are supposed to have our get together party this Hallowe'en at Sycamore Lodge, my old home on the VVabash. I trust your hardware business is doing well, Francis. I read recently where you purchased the Hawkeye Tool and Hard Metal Company. Tl1at's fine. And how is your wife? I heard some time ago from my partner, Harold Wesner, that you had married Doris Parks. Congratulations. I am sure Ralph Nelson could come. He is living in Benton county on a six-hundred-forty-acre farm, is married and has a son, who is the perfect image of Shorty. I think he married LaRhue Ransdell, did he not? Have you seen Fred Klaiber lately? Do you know that he has been graduated from DePauw University and is a minister of the First Christian Church of Canton, Ohio? I think he could arrange it so he could get a short leave of absence to come. And of course our old friend Elsie Miller will be there. She has a very nice position in the Elkhart, Indiana grade schools, teaching the seventh grade and supervising the playground. Fern Maxwell has married a Purdue graduate and lives at Reno, Nevada. Rena Spencer and she are as good friends as ever. They had a double wed- ding and they live in the same apartment house. Rena's husband is the chief of police of that city. Bob Mayo went to Purdue but decided he wanted to enter the sporting would, so he played pro-ball with Cleveland for a few years and he has now signed a contract to manage the Pittsburgh Pirates. Harold Emerson carried out his wishes. He graduated from the In- dianapolis Undertaking school, and he is now 'a licensed undertaker in Louisville. As far as I can hear he has remained single. Bernice Lamb is a dressmaker in Rockford, Illinois, where she makes dance frocks for the fair damsels of that vicinity. Nelle Mae Lamb married a gentleman named VVQ'-:llman of Indianapolis. I-Ie owns a Gent's furnishing store there. ' George Morelock is assistant professor of Technology in Columbia Uni- versity. He recently announced his engagement to a very charming lady instructor of Home Economics. 1 Pearl Nelson has long since married Duane Lamb. They reside in Gales- burg, Illinois. Pearl runs a charming millinery store. Duane is a cement C203
