MARTIN comes in and casts an evil eye upon the class, but still the uproar continues. There are ANNE WHALEY and BETTY WILLIAMS, both cheerleaders and, prom attendants, discussing their social life. DOT BAYER and PAT WIKEL are speaking of the possibilities of passing shorthand. In the back of the room, PAT NEATE, our class re- porter, is going over a solo for the glee club. LOIS UDRY, another talented member of our class, is drawing a picture of MARY GARBER, another cheerleader and vice-president of the class, while they talk about the favors for the prom. FRANK BECK, who is on the basketball team, is congratulating JACK VAN DEREN, JU NEO Res another basketball player, on his election as prom king. LEO WILBERS, BILL HUTCHCRAFT, and JOHN DUMBACKER are having their daily gab sessions. The main topic today is how nice it would have been to have DAVE SCHAAR with us this year. BILL BECHTOLD and JOE BERGFELD, the newest member of the basket- ball team, and BILL JUNG are discussing the successful basketball season we have had this year. CHICKIE ZOLLER, our class president, ROSEMARY KERKHOFYF, the secretary, and _ SHELBY CORNELL are going over questions for an American history test. BILL KREUTZ and BOB BENS, both members of the basketball team, are saying how much they would like to go to the tournament in Louisville this year. RUTH KLEYMEYER and DOT CLARK are wondering why a chemistry book ever had carbon compounds. GEORGE LAUTER is just talking. Last but not least, PAT CAMPBELL, our treas- urer, asks if anyone would like to pay his dues. This brings silence. i 4 | | Comes now the Sophomore Class. Tarry a bit, mates, and give heed to its “doin’s.’” Confiden- tially, we ourselves admit that it is the best class Beechwood has ever known. We suggest, however, that you do not embarrass Miss Bevarly, our home room teacher, by asking her opinion. Home room periods are always as quiet and orderly as a Quaker meeting. If you listen closely, however, you might hear JACKIE HAYNES practicing cheer leading or HARRY RIGGS, GERRY BETTINGER, MILDRED TIE- MAN, and TOM TRIMPE practicing a band number. One might also observe DONALD ANTHE, class president; RUDY WHALEY, vice- president; DALLAS DIETER, Secretary, and SHERIDAN HAVERFIELD, treasurer, holding a meeting to plan for the future welfare of the class. A visitor might miss the presence of ROSE- MARY EGAN and HELEN WILBERS, who are frequently called upon to help serve chow in the cafeteria. Among the good deeds of our members, we also remember CAROL SUE WISCHMEYER begging donations for Red Cross boxes. If we look carefully, we might find JOYCE HODDER, DIANE BAILEY, FRANCIS CAMP- BELL, and MARGARET WALLACE in a group discussing plans for the Sophomore dance. ContributingUfurther to tke confusion in our ¢ § © SOPHOMORES quiet study hour, we notice MARY NEWMAN and JOHN PURDY painting colorful posters for the dance. We hope that the group of boys including BOB KAYS, JOHNNY TRUITT, BERNARD ROG- ERS and BILL FRIETCH, with their heads to- gether on the other side of the room, are discuss- ing a problem in geometry. A group of girls, MARY TODD HOOD, DOTTY JOHNSON, and DONNA SUE HOLDEN are also in an animated conversation. We hope it is Latin, but you know how it is; girls will chatter. What is this? LOIS JOHNSTON and MA- RIAN YOUNG exclaiming with gestures. Must be practicing for the play given by the speech class. The last group we spy is made up of RUTH ANN POWERS, JOY SCHAAR, and HELEN LONG in the back of the room. What is it all about girls, could it be dates? Seriously, we may be a trifle frivolous at times and cause Miss Bevarly to wrinkle her brow; but we want her to know that we shall remember her as a good sport and we pledge ourselves to carry on, through the next two years, the best traditions of Beechwood. —e Here are the Freshmen as you ean see They are all types that there could be Some are funny and some are sweet And not one of them can be beat. If you hear a noise in study hall, it’s FLORENCE ASTOR on the ball. JIMMY BAKER, a sweeter kid you’ve never met. If you want a friend, he’s your best bet. BETTY BAST, a nicer girl you never saw; and my how she can really draw. GENE BECHTOLD is always at hand; he’s our great, big muscle man. BOBBY BROWN, the roly-poly type, never was known to gripe. DORIS BRESCH, fair and square, has beautiful cury hair. CHARLIE CAMPBELL is a hit. With his lessons he’s a wit. ROGER CHALKLEY, studious and strong, seldom does an intentional wrong. DOROTHY DANCE, always busy! as a bee, is as true as can be. JEAN EGAN, very quiet and sweet, just can’t be beat. LOUIS FELICE’S always happy and bright, from early morn till late at night. BILLIE FREYLER, very cute and nice, goes in any date book more than twice. KENNETH FROHLICH, such a bother to the girls, when he pulls their curls. When GEORGIA GILBERT makes her rounds, much fun always abounds. VIRGINIA GOEBEL, quite witty, rR ES H MEN will be good for business in the city. KATHLEEN GRO- NEMAN, with eyes so blue, is always very true. JEAN HAUER’S charming way, makes new friends every day. . JOANNE KERKHOFYF, always in the ranks of fun, brings joy to everyone. JACK KLEYMEYER work won’t shun; he always gets things donee CHARLES KREY, diminu- tive and sly, with his tuba will get by. MARILYN LIN- NEMAN’S conversation, always refreshing, to your bad mood is a blessing. JERRY MAHONEY, carefree in every way, talks and talks all the day. BESSIE LOVE, such a. kind gal, makes a good-natured pal. DICK MENNINGER, always in trouble, makes of worries only a bubble. WANDA POWERS’ charming ways are subject to much praise. JANET PULLIAM won’t be with us all four years. For her we will shed tears. EDNA RACE’S good nature and black hair always get there. JEANNINE and JOANNE REIB jon: ; and Jaughing all the day, keep our class room bright and gay. CHARLES ROGERS, a swell chap, very seldom has a mishap. BERT SAVELY, little but mighty, wears clothes neat and tidy. BOB STEIDLE, very timid in his way, underneath he’s probably gay. JOANNE STEINFORT is a neat petite, and Oh! so very sweet. TOMMY TATE, so very tall, has expectations for basketball. PEGGY UDRY, it’s easy to tell, plays the piano very well. DAVE VAN DEREN, quite easy to please, is yet a little tease. BILLY WESTBAY, so very cunning, is very good in running. JANIE WIKEL, a blonde, tall and sweet, with a personality that can’t be beat. 32 fen tl i The Kighth Grade is the largest yet the small- est. We have the most pupils we have ever had ‘but still fewer than any other high school class. We added to our ranks: HAROLD ADAMS, from Dixie Heights; DICK DIETER, from Columbus; PAT GARNER, from Norwood; OTTO WAT- SON, from Walton, and JOHN WALKER, from Cleveland. JIM WADE, ED McNABB, JOHN BOARD, DICK DIETER, ROGER REQUARDT, DAVE MARTIN, JACK OLDHAM, RONNY LUNS- FORD, RAY McCLURE, BOB MERGARD and ALEX HOWARD, our basketball team, played the junior high teams of Dixie and Newport Catholic. Five of these boys were the feather- weight subs on the football squad. PAT BERRY, Ok A DoE BARBARA BENNETT, PATSY MESCHER, BONNY ROWLETTE, and BENJIE HUGHES were the cheerleaders for our team. Seven members of the band are from our grade. Most of our boys and girls are in the Junior High Glee Club. WADE is our quiz kid; HUGHES teases the girls; LEE forgets to do his homework; OLD- HAM is the talkative joke-cracking type; KITTY PRICE is just the opposite, the quiet type; BOARD is the bashful blushing type; RE- QUARDT laughs. at OLDHAM’S _ jokes; MESCHER, BENNETT and BERRY are the giggling trio; WALKER is the Van Johnson type; WATSON is the checker champ; ROW- LETTE is trying to start a Don Anthe club. S is for the school spirit which is had by all the boys and girls. E is for the efficiency of our officers: MARILYN RIGGS, president; KEN KLOSTERMAN, vice-president; and DICK HOEFINGHOFF, secretary-treasurer. V is for the victories our team hopes to win, led by ALLEN SMITH, RONALD WIL- LIAMS, DICK BOARD, TOM CAMPBELL and DAVE LANDGRAVE. E is for the everlasting luck we have had: SU- SAN DRULEY won a plane trip; NOEL MARKWELL, 32 games on the pin-ball ma- chine; and TOM STEIGER, a spelling con- test. SEVENTH GRADE N is for the nice behavior we try earnestly to achieve. (No luck yet!) T is for the teacher—MR. MASTROLEO—a swell guy. H is where our teachers wish some of our braod would go. G is for the girls (Bwang). SUSAN GREEN, JANET CHANDLER, MARGY CAMPBELL, JACKIE GARVEY, JEWELL DANCE, GRACE MILBURN, DELMA LEAR, and MARY SUE FRIEDL. R. is for the recent entries into our class: JANET ALSPAUGH, KEN KLOSTERMAN, and JIM HICKS. A is for admiration for B. H. S. had by JACK and BRENT WINN, TOM HUMPHREY and JAMES MASSMAN. D is for the dependability of GORDON COE, BILL RACE, and LEIGH BELL. E is for everybody—a swell bunch of students. The interests in the Sixth Grade are many and varied, but we will list only a few here. As for the girls: ARLENE ASHCRAFT, BARBARA BRODE, MOLLY ANN DERR, RUTH QUINN, BARBARA SCOUTEN, and EDDIE -RUTH WEHRMEYER are very much interested in Girl Scouts. They have completed their project in cooking, and they are now doing their required work in library science. PATSY CARRAN, the other girl in the class, is a lover of horses. If she is not reading about horses, she is drawing pictures of them. The chief interest of our boys seems to be in sports, in any form. BOB STEWART is assist- ant general manager of the Beechwood Tigers, and if the team fails to arrive at a scheduled point at a scheduled time, it is not the fault of assistant general manager Stewart. ALLEN BRODT, SCOTT SMITH, BERT BOARD, VIN- SIXTH GRADE CENT ANDERSON, and VIRGIL VANCE pre- fer baseball to any other game, and they seldom miss any games that the Reds play in Cincinnati. JIM MAHONEY and HENRY LOVE like foot- ball best, and they think that the others will, too, when they see Beechwood in action next year. JOE HUGHES says that soccer is his favorite. While all of them like basketball, the most ardent fans are JOHN MORLIDGEH, JERRY JONES, BOBBY STEWART, CHARLES COX, and CHARLES MAYER. The girls say that they also like football and basketball and they hope that cheerleaders will still be a ‘““must”? when they are in high school. We have a quiet class this year except for BARBARA SAVELY who does the talking for the class) HENRY CAMPBELL tries hard in his subjects and is a co-operative student. LARRY ADAMS does our art work. BETTY REED s always taking a holiday when she so desires. BARBARA FREDERICK is a new pupil and does not lose her temper and is a nice pupil. We were afraid RONALD CECIL might leave Beech- wood School because he moved from Ft. Mitchell to Covington. He also tries hard in both inside and outside work. RICHARD RACE is a good student and the boys and girls like him very much. JOHN WAT- SON leads the class in grades, while CAROL BUCKSHORN is next. PHILLIP LANDGRAVE is good in his classwork and is more interested in arithmetic than in any other subject. It looks as if JACK VAN DERMARK is the Van Johnson of the class, but he does not make grades like JOHN WATSON. LOUIS McNABB, the coach’s FIFTH GRADE son, and JLMMY SMITH rank second in a tie, as far as the Van Johnson type goes. CAROLYN HULL, a nice looking blonde in our class, makes very good grades and is a good sport. FRANCES CASTLEMAN is a good student and tries hard in school work. MARY SUE MINER, daughter of Dr. Miner, is a good student and is a regular companion of _ MARY CAMPBELL, who sits very close to her in class and lives near her. JANIS WRIGHT tries to make up what work she misses when she is sick and tries hard in school work. MARTHA AMMON and PAUL RICHARDSON are the walking dictionaries of — the class. JACK SCHULTZ, son of Mrs. Schultz who runs the lunchroom, is a very good student and tries hard in class work and in outside games. DICK AMMERMAN ttries hard in his work and waits every afternoon to ride home with Mrs. Culbertson. JIMMY CAMPBELL always is doing the best he can in everything and is also a perfect gentleman. BILLY MERGARD is a good student and is always working hard in everything. JAMES BEERS is our slow and easy-going member. JUNE CHRISTOPHEL is really a good sport and is always working as hard as she can. | | gem Rn We started in the Fourth Grade with eighteen pupils) CONNIE TAYLOR from Covington, SUZANNE JORDRE from Illinois, BETTY HICKS and CAROL ANDERSON from Erlanger came into our class this year. BILLY GARRISON was promoted from the Third Grade during the first month, JERRY GEIS left us the second month of school for Cin- cinnatii EDWIN ABBOTT came to us from Panama after Christmas. At Christmas time for our mothers we made coasters of cork and decorated them. We had a lot of fun taking the scraps of cork and making lapel pins. LEVA RICHARDSON, MARY JO BEERS, and JANE RIGGS have read the most books for outside reading. BOBBY LIGGETT and DICK HUTCHCRAFT are in the regular band. EDWIN ABBOTT, GeR A DE MARY JO BEERS, JOHN RICE, DALE BREADEN, LEVA RICHARDSON, CONNIE TAYLOR, SUZANNE JORDRE, CAROL AN- DERSON, JEAN COOK, JANE RIGGS, JIMMY RICE and CATHLEEN GOEBEL are in the tonette band. We gave a play called “Her Royal Valentine,” with the following cast: The announcer was CAROLL JEAN COOK; the king was BOBBY LIGGETT; the queen was SUZANNE JORDRE; the princess was BETTY HICKS; the guard was DALE BREADEN;; the herald was CATHLEEN GOEBEL; Ragged Peter was JIMMY RICE; CONNIE TAYLOR was the dancing valentine; JOHN RICE, EDWIN ABBOTT, MARY JO BEERS, LEVA RICHARDSON, CAROL LEE ANDERSON, ZUE ANN _ PRICE, DICK HUTCHCRAFT, JANE RIGGS, JUANITA RACE and BILLY GRAWE were the children of the village. The Third Grade is an interesting and alert group—seventeen girls and seven boys. Among the boys we have JAMES ROGERS and DAVID WADE, both excellent students and good basketball players. They plan to be coaches some day. TED SMITH, who is considered “‘our best piano player,” and TUCKER WORTHING- TON, one of our “good” readers, each want to join the F. B. I. ALEX WILSON, who draws very interesting pictures and is a good speller, says he is going to be a “‘secret agent.” JOE MILBURN, who plans to be a farmer, is a lead- er in nature study and in making things with our carpenter tools. TOMMY RACE, who wants to be a doctor, gets a star for making the most im- provement in scholarship among the boys. Our girls are varied in talents and ambitions. NANCY PAGE BLEMKER, an excellent reader, has dramatic ability. She plans to be a ‘“‘house- wife.” Four girls want to be nurses: DUKIE CAMPBELL, one of our most cooperative and popular girls; LYNDA SUE MEYERS, the “friendly little blonde’; JANE ABBOTT, our THIRD GRADE 38 newest member from Panama, and CAROL JANE BOARD, ‘‘our quietest good worker.” REBECCA LUE DUNLAP wants to be a So- cial worker. She hasn’t missed a word in spell- ing this yea r and seldom an arithmetic problem. JEAN KUHN, who draws very good pictures and sings nicely, plans to teach voice. INDA LU NORTON, one of our best students, says she will keep up the family tradition and be a teacher. The movies will gather some talent among the girls NANCY DUE and DIANE JORDRE, both good actors, want to be ‘movie stars.” BETTY JANE MINER, voted the ‘“‘belle of the class” by girls and boys alike, also plans to be a “star.” She is talented in art and music. There will be three “pianists,” NELL MOR- LIDGE, an excellent all-around student; SUSAN BOLLES, writer of interesting stories; and ALLISON TATE, a very good reader. BAR- BARA JANE KLEINTANK, who wants to be a singer and dancer, always brings to school whatever we need for study or exhibit. SHIRLEY LOVE wants to be an artist. She has made among the girls most progress in schol- arship. BARBARA LEE WIKEL, one of the ‘‘cutest and most helpful,” plans to be a “comic” artist. The Second Grade began in September with an enrollment of thirty, but three of us, ROBERTA HALEY, LYNN TARBECK, and RALPH MEYER have moved away. We have quite an alert group of children and many varied personalities. Here are some inter- esting facts about us: ANNA CLARE OIEN is the only child who has been neither absent nor tardy. STEVEN GRAWE usually comes to school with a pocketful of curious objects. DAVID TAKACS is our most studious boy. JOAN KERLIN is our fa- orite reader. She obliges us by reading wonder- ful stories to us nearly every day. ERNEST LEE and RICHARD FREYLER are quite good at drawing and making things. SALLY and JANET HICKS, the twins, are so much alike that we just call each of them “Twinnie.’ DENNIS ADAMS is our big little boy. Though the young- est in the class, he is about the largest. LUCY LEWIS HOWARD and BONNIE GARRISON SECOND GRADE are our little brunettes with the sunny disposi- tions. CHUCK KORZENBORN likes to relate his interesting experiences. JUDY LANG and JOY AMMERMAN are good dancers as well as good students. NANCY LEGG is never unhappy if she has a book to read. EDDIE BADER is full of enthusiam and curiosity. BOBBY MICH- AELS never needs to be coaxed into eating. TEDDY FELDMAN, TOMMY VAN DERMARK and STUBBY HULL always choose wholesome lunches in the cafeteria. MARGARET DE- LAUNEY and BARBARA KNOSP are merry and full of conversation. JUDY ALLEN, PATTY PAGE DAVIS, BARBARA GARVEY, BONNIE HASTINGS, and HOPE WIMMER, with their pigtails and pinafores, may have stepped out of one of our storybooks. In the First Grade this year we have encour- aged creative expression. We have said time after time, ‘‘Make it your own,” when we have talked about a drawing, a clay figure, a poem, a little story. It has been pointed out that children’s language holds poetry in its lines. In the ordinary course of events children lose their facility in fashioning words. They seem to lose much of the ease and grace with which they have used language. We believe that schools should strive to further cre- ative expression rather than to suppress it, as has often been the case. Sandra Cox: I dreamed a dream of Spring last night, about birds and pussy willows and new green grass. Judy Dieter: When I close my eyes and it is snowing, I think about white paint. Connie Ellis: When we came home from my Grandmother’s we passed the place where the soldiers sleep, yes, Fort Knox. We saw tanks with guns on them and the guns were covered with rags. It was a long time and we went over hills and mountains. It was so long I took four naps getting home. It was nice, though, and it was dark. Denis Elo: My father took me to the Terminal and we went to the place where they switch trains. The man let me move a train. Ruth Ann Fehler: My uncle has come home from the war and he brought me these little shells from the beach where the war was. Frances Feldmann: My mother doesn’t call me Frances now. She calls me Curly Head. te aR aa 40 Park Gilmore: Up on Lake Michigan they have those big swells, you know, and I don’t see how we lowered our little dinghy without those big waves tipping her over. Do you? We had a speed boat too, full speed ahead, and we could beat the yachts. Anita Rose Glatstein: Rain, don’t come down today. Please stay up there. I want to go out and play. Sally Hatfield: Summer is better than Winter. We get in our wagon and ride far away and have our picnics there. Billy Hill: Sissy and Fanny were barking, ruff, ruff, ruff. The maid was bringing some corn to feeds the red birds and she said, ‘‘Quit barking. There is nothing under that box.” But she was wrong. She lifted the box and there were two field mice. Henry Lee: The trees are standing around. The snow is snowing. The horse is running with snow on his back. The man is on the horse. The horse and the man go up the mountain. The mountain has snow on it. The snow is white. Dicky Pace: Down in Charlotte the thing I liked best about school was the cafeteria. Up here it’s the children. Shirley Race: We have more fun than other families because we have more children to make fun. Susanne Reed: Cuba is a place you go to get souvenirs. And it is place you go to live while your father works there. Bobby Tate: When the rain falls down it pops up and makes little crowns on the window sill; little crowns for little kings. GR Apes ef selene KINDERGARTEN There are no words in literature or life as pleasantly beguilding as the unstudied words of Kindergarten chil- dren. The utterances below were taken down during the course of a week in February, one for each child. ' Bobby Allen: I ike to paint because I like colors better than anything. Susan Bailer: This little ring was my mother’s when she was a little girl. Now she lets me wear it but I’M NOT ALLOWED TO LOSE IT.

Beechwood. ; Erlanger 51: SteHenry ice 29; D ie Heights The Beechwood Tigers served notice to the other Northern Kentucky teams that they would be hard to handle, as they won their opener by downing Walton 50-25. With Hood, Rogers, and Williams setting the pace with 14, 13, and 9 respectively, the Tigers made it two in a row by downing Florence 56-29. Beck, Van Deren, Wade; and Williams all came through to lead the Tigers to their first N. K. A. C. victory, by defeating the Big Trains from Silver Grove. Bellevue upset Beechwood’s apple cart to the tune of 40-24. After a 13-13 tie at the half, Bellevue began connecting from “all angles.’’ After a close first half, the Tigers ‘‘put on the heat” and went on to win easily over the Ludlow Panthers. Hood and Rogers were high with 19 and 12 points. Although the Tigers led the first half and managed to pen- etrate the tight Campbell County zone, the Camels had Beech- wood “eating out of their honds” the last half. This meant the second defeat of the season for the Tigers.. With the Christmas holidays nearing, the Tigers decided to bear down and consequently walked off with a 57-27 victory over the Lloyd Juggernauts. Gordon tied the N. K. A. C. scoring record by dropping in 30 points. The powerful St. Xavier five, with the aid of their fast break, handed the Tigers a 46-29 defeat. The largest and BASKETBALL most enthusiastic crowd ever to witness a game in the Beech- wood gym saw the Beechwood seconds take an exciting one- point victory from the Dixie Reserves. In the final game of the evening Dixie, N. K. A. C. leader, nosed out a deter- mined Beechwood varsity 31-30. Ted and Elmer starred for the Tigers. Beechwood smarting from a one-sided defeat from Bellevue on the Bellevue floor came back only to lose a heart-breaking overtime game. At the end of the regulation game the score was 35-35. Baute hit the only field goal in the overtime; hence the Tigers of Bellevue made it two straight over the Beechies. Even though the Tigers played a poor game, the final result was another victory over Silver Grove to the tune of 37-25. Due credit must be given to the Big Trains who were never out of the game until the final whistle blew. Don lead the Tigers with 15 points. At the expense of Simon Kenton and Highlands the Tigers, again, made a string of 3 in a row on the right side of the ledger. Bergfeld, who was not eligible until the second semester, led the Tigers in both of these victories, tallying 21 points in the two encounters. Dixie’s three-year jinx over Tiger teams still was working when the Tigers traveled to the Dixie floor. Beechwood’s play was poor and Dixie’s zone kept the Tigers shooting from far out on the floor. In an exciting game, the Tigers eked out a 35-33 win over the Newport Wildcats on the spacious Newport floor. With the lead changing numerous times in the final minutes of the game, Bergfeld and Rogers dropped in field goals which eventually proved the margin of victory. Howard Dunwoody, who incidentally came back to Beechwood from the Marines, displayed a fine. exhibition of passing which in the final min- utes helped Beechwood control the ball. With Bergfeld dropping in 16 points the Tigers downed a determined St. Henry team 47-34. Wade playing a whale of a ball game garnered 7 points, before fouling out early in the game. An elongated Holmes five on Covington’s small floor gave the Tigers their worst defeat of the year. Elmo, hitting 4 longshots, led the Beechwood team with 8 points. Lloyd, one of the most improved teams in the conference, was downed by a fighting Tiger team to the tune of 52-238. Bill Wiade lead the way with 13 points and the Tigers made it two traight over the Juggernauts. Ludlow, another highly improved team, threw a scare into the Tigers as they nearly knotted the score in the final minutes; however, Beechwood with Don and Jack sinking successive shots, againg took a substantial lead and went on to win 44-36. The highly tooted Dayton Green Devils got the surprise of their life when the Tigers handed them their worst defeat in two years. The Greenies took an early lead only to have the Tigers forge ahead 13-5 at the first quarter. Beechwood hit close in shots only to have Dayton match the Tigers shot for shot. The half ended 27-18 in favor of the Beechies. Beechwood continued to dominate the play and went on to win 44-35 in one of the season’s biggest upsets. Hood with 15 and Rogers with 19 led the Tiger attack. Bergfeld’s re- bounding, and Van Deren and Wade’s floor work helped make it Beechwood’s night at Dayton. In the final regularly scheduled game, the Tigers were almost upset by the Simon Kenton Pioneers. After trailing 17-8 at the half, the Tigers put on a stretch drive and went on to win their fourth straight victory 32-27. Te ee aS 1 °C The 10:45 bell Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday ...

I had just started ¢own to Beechwood to check-up on old classmates when I ran into HELEN RACE who is about to grad- uate from medical college and plans to specialize in brain surgery. She said PIDGY BAILER completed nurses’ train- ing and is taking special care of handsome patients at Booth Hospital. We paid our first call to an exclusive dress shop, owned and operated by RUTH WALTZ who has taken designing to heart. Her frocks are now known all over the world. Into the shop walked NOREEN and MARILYN. We were not really sur- prised to hear that NOREEN and LIL and MARILYN and JAY had decided that two can live as cheaply as one. They told us that DON ROGERS is in charge of the Monsanto Chemical Company in South America. Leaving the store we bumped into a snappy looking Sergeant-Major in the Ma- rine Corps, ARNOLD TEWELL, who de- cided that military life is just the thing for him. He said that JIM SCOUTEN, after ten years in the Navy, is ready to retire right now. Since ARNOLD was on his way to pay GORDON HOOD a visit, we decided to go along. We entered a superb new building at Fifth and Race where we found GORDON, a successful businessman, amid a flock of secretaries. He said he wasn’t the only businessman from our class. PAUL GARBER is mak- ing quite a name for himself in the field of business. Next we decided to visit the new club that had just been established on Dixie Highway by BO REED, a shrewd busi- nesswoman. We were both dreading the trip out there and back when none other than JEANNE HODDER pulled up to the curb in a beautiful red convertible and offered to take us wherever we were go- ing. It seems JEANNE has done quite well as a buyer for the new Pogue ©om- pany. We arrived at the club during the noon hour rush, and while we waited for a table we saw MRS. IVAN ROSS. BETTY, looking very happy, was celebrating her wedding anniversary. FRANK ANTHE, peg PE CY General Manager of the Anthe Motor Car Company, was also there enjoying a tasty snack with some business associates. BO told us that she tried to engage RITA ROSE FROHLICH, but she is on a ballet tour in England. -As we ate our lunch we were enter- tained by BOB KRAFT’S BOB KATS. BOB dishes out a mean lick with those drum sticks. We wondered about LORETTA Mc- HALE and MARIAN HOLLMEYER, whom we hadn’t seen or heard about. It seems that LORETTA is drummer in an all-girl orchestra and spends her spare time on a ranch in Texas. MARIAN is in Gay Paree studying music. OO! LA! LA! I was nearly knocked off my feet by a businesslike young gentleman. I was about ready to give him a piece of my mind when I discovered it was ELMER BAUTE and decided to forgive him as he is a Certified Public Accountant and is_ having quite a time keeping accounts straightened out. JEANNE offered to drop us off at home. On the way we passed a lovely farm set back snugly in the good old Ken- tucky hills. We were surprised to hear that it belonged to TED WILLIAMS, who had decided that too much work wasn’t for him and has become a gentle- man farmer. We stopped for a little chit-chat with TED who told us that MAC McGINNIS has set up a smart men’s shop in Covington and is continually boasting that his shop is the best in town. Of course TED did not have to tell us that BILL WADE, whose deep bass voice led our Glee Club to many honors, is now top singer of the nation and has girls swooning from coast to coast. HELEN and I agreed that a visit to the 4-Star Dixie, managed by DICK BRESCH, would be a perfect ending to a wonderful day. As we rested our weary bones in the oid show house where so many of us spent our time instead of studying our homework, it all seemed a dream, renew- ing old friendships and seeing for our- selves how prosperous and happy the Class of ’46 has become.

Short con- versations, courteous sharing of party lines, being sure of your number before calling, and similar practices are essential to good telephone service. We in the telephone industry are constantly striving to provide a high quality system to serve the needs of our community, but the degree of satisfaction the service atfords depends much on how it is used.
