Glade Paaphecq Any common passer-by who had not read the papers for the past two months might wonder what the shouting and cheering was all about. The public was about to witness the most spectacular event in three years. Here it was, only 1975, and already the United States had developed the first sound- powered commercial ocean liner, the S. S. Tattler. Half of New York had turned out to see the launching first hand and suddenly above the din a calm, cool and collected young man spoke over the atom-powered loudspeaker. I craned my neck above the crowd and immediately recognized the handsome young announcer: ladies and gentlemen, may I have your attentim please? It was Keith Mullin, an old classmate of mine in'high school. When I turned around, there was another of my class- mates, Pio Froscio, successful politician, and author of the latest book, I-low to Disagree Eloquentlyf' With him was Janice Cooper, mother of four, world traveler, and editor-in- chief of her own little newspaper out on Long Island. She told me that alniost everyone in our class of Bloomfield High had something to do with the building of this ship. Before the day was over I was beginning to see her point. I boarded the gang plank, and there was Peter Powell, cap- tain of the ship. He remembered me and started taking me on a tour of the luxury liner. We went first to the engine room, amazingly small for the power needed to move the ship. Taking care of the engines was john Politis. He always was a good mechanic. From the engine room we went to the ultra-modern kitch- en, where the three chief dietitians, Alice Watkins, Virginia Goodell and Carol Boyington were talking with the famous home economist, Gayle Nielsen. She was giving them a new recipe for a super-economical apple pie that you could bake in ten minutes. I was just about to leave the kitchen when I bumped into Louis Weaver-hey and Ned Kiernan, head waiters of the Grande Salle A Manger, the very exclusive dining room on the upper deck where I was employed as organist to furnish dinner music. Upstairs they were continuing with the broadcast of the launching, and Helen Warren, fashion designer, was remark- ing on some of the famous persons on board who were wear- ing clothes that she designed. Dorothea Bowditch, child psychiatrist, was going to appear this evening in the lirst evening gown ever to be made of the new miracle fiber, Criscolene, developed by the brilliant young chemist, Wayne Cook. It is something that he and some other men cooked up with their chemistry sets in the cellar. Wayne says that it's quite easy to make with some Crisco, an egg beater, a good catalyst and an autoclave. Nancy Clough, who holds the world's speed typing record at 198 words per minute, will appear in a modern frock in- spired by the new concept in housing designed by architect Richard Gidman. Dick's houses are perfectly round, inside and out. Dick says that it makes the home very easy to take care of because there aren't any corners to dust. Ella Jordan, secretary to the captain, is going to appear in a cocktail dress of pink Brussels lace over satin, which has been imported by the wealthy importer and purveyor of for- eign goods, David Wolf. Then Keith, the announcer, broke in and I went below with Pete again, this time to the hos- pital. There I saw Ethel Boeck head nurse. I asked Ethel if she still had any cases of mal de mer, and she said that it had been decreased by two factors. Cynthia Rhodes, who had been doing a great deal of biological research had developed a new drug which practically eliminates sea-sickness. She also told me that Curt Willoughby, an engineer, had designed a new method of construction for ships, whereby they do not toss and roll when in stormy areas. Leaving the hospital, I decided that it must be time for the launching and christen- ing proper, so I went to the deck once more. After its christen- be V2 1:,1.g t- 4 lagmuw eta- .tqfvw gb: 'M V A I - ' 'mn' ' mn-. ing, accompanied by three brass bands, thousands cheering, and general confusion everywhere, the giant ship moved slow- ly and easily out to sea. I decided to go down to the Rue Des Boutiques, as the shopping area was called. On the various shop windows I noticed many old names. First was the beauty shop, managed jointly by Mr. Herbert fBeman.'J, and Mlles. Elaine QPagani!D and Joanne QVenora!J. I glanced at the exotic hair styles in the window and quickly went on my way. The next shop in view was the sport shop, managed by Peter Crombie and Jack Barnard, where anyone could buy equipment or sport clothes for 'lounging on Deck'l as the sign said. The Book Shop and magazine area was being managed by Lorraine Willis and Loretta Cummings. Lorraine told me that Suzanne Schreyer, who had changed her name to Suzette Shreer, was currently appearing in the theater on board in The Women. On the way back to my room I met Mary Skruta who was on the S. S. Tattler en route to Africa, to carry out her mis- sionary duties. I bid au revoir to Mary and went back to my room to change into my bathing suit. Up at the pool I met the Director of Athletics on Board, Bah Peterson. As usual, he had a book of hilarious stories to tell me, and I had to jump into the pool to stop from laughing. When I got to the surface, I recognized the face of Herb Neuhauser, who was busy teaching Joan Beehe and Sandra Sheridan, French interpreters, how to play shuflleboard. They just couldn't seem to learn. After swimming, I met Sal Santos, who is going to France to receive the Grand Prix trophy for the world's fastest speed record in a racing car powered by the new gas-turbine en- gine. Sal won the race in a brand new Williams sport model automobile, a product of the Wilcox-Williams Auto Division of Universal Motors. Bill Wilcox and Audley Williams are vice-presidents of the corporation. I thought I recognized the girl under the Glamour Maga- zine. It was Audrey Manke, the head of her own modeling school in France. She was presenting a new fashion show to- morrow night in the Gala Room, in cooperation with Bunny Warren. I remembered the names of two of the models that were going to be featured, Connie Stenner and Peg Machholz. As I left Audrey basking in the late afternoon sun, I per- ceived three more of my classmates hurrying down the hall toward me. Frances Simmons, Theresa Regier, and Irene Sla- mon, all Public Relations Experts for the Tattler lines. They informed me that there was going to be a party tonight for the graduates of Bloomfield High, 1955. I promised I'd be there, and hurried back to my room to get into my tux. As I walked into the dining room, Anne Cor- rette and Terryi' Doyle, scintillating young entertainers, were singing a trio.. erry was the only woman on earth who could sing in two voices at once. After dinner I went to the party, where Ian Metgzer, au- thor, who has been divorced three times gave readings from her hilarious best-seller, How to Keep Your Husband. After we had laughed ourselves sore, we settled down to an address by john Petersen, wealthy business magnate in the hardware Held. Then he introduced Barbara Stewart, artistic interior dec- orator, who did all the interiors on the ship. Finally we heard a short speech from Anna Miluae, who showed movies on Scotland. . About three in the morning, the patty began to die down, so I gathered up myself and trudged back to my stateroom. As I crawled into bed, I remembered all the good times our class had had: the Prom, Club Serenade, graduation, and to- night . . . Now then, I'm only being nostalgic and over- sentimental, I thought, and dropped off to sleep. . . . John Wadhams Class Prophet h l
