Class Prophecy . . . In this melody-minded world of 1969 everyone eats, sleeps, and talks music. For instance, let's eavesdrop on this con- versation between two of our Boardman alumnae, Carol Ransom, head display dec- orator for McKelvey's and Ellen Peterson, prominent newspaper publisher. Carol: It seems so Long Ago and Far Away since we were in high school. Why, most of our classmates are Flying High by now. While strolling along The Side- walks of New York last summer I saw Dean Adcock going into the Stork Club where he is head waiter. I followed him in and was startled to see Marilyn Amey giving her interpretation of Mumbo Jum- bo. Amid the applause which greeted her number The Band Played On, led by Dave Lance. After leaving the club I decided to tour the Art Institute. Whom should I see but Irene Owens modeling for The Old Master Painter, Jerry Solomon. I thought, Good- night, Irene ! What are you doing here? During our brief visit she pointed out Jerry's prize-winning portrait of Jeanne Eyster entitled Jeannie with fthe Light Brown Hair. Later in the afternoon I put on my Old Gray Bonnet and went to visit poor Jay Chuck who was then a patient at the Kreider Memorial Hospital, endowed by our classmate John David. Jay had been hit by a car driven by Dorris Gheringg how- ever, his injuries won't prevent him from playing in the Rose Bowl game. Leaving the hospital I Was Walking Along Mind- ing My Business when I met Barbara Estep, the chief staff physician, and Zelma McKibben, now a nurse. Since they were Going My Way, we had dinner together at Jerry Carlson's Swedish Smorgasbord. Who should be having Tea For Two at the next table but Margie Williams, a math teacher at Walter Spikell's school for the feeble- 28 minded, and John Amy, manager of the New York Yankees. John had just pur- chased Jerry Suess from the Cleveland Indians for two million dollars. The next day, while standing Under- neath the Arches, I met Carol McCrudden, now a prominent Fifth Avenue milliner. She was already dreaming up new designs for The Easter Parade. Ellen: Guess whom I saw in Califor- nia! I went to the circus and watched Ronnie Green, The Man on the Flying Trapeze, Nancy Woodward, the bareback rider, Dick Beck, the strong man, and Nancianne Martin, the fat woman. Walter Mermis was there, too, collecting auto- graphs of the circus performers. Upon leaving, I heard someone yelling Yes, We Have No Bananas! and there was Nick Rini driving his fruit truck up the street. That Lucky Old Sun was beginning to set as I entered Hollywood. Soon it was as dark as Black Magic, so I stopped at the home of Marilyn Parshall., make-up di- rector for the Nischwitz Studio. Marilyn told me that her boss, Dave Burns, had just put Sally Hess and Carole Bodin on Con- tract for their new musical production The Life of Sara Vaughn. Bidding Marilyn good-bye, I took a taxi to my hotel in Beverly Hills. What a sur- prise it was to discover Raymond Wylam driving for the Wellington Cab Company! The next morning I ate breakfast at Jerry Obendorfer's Coffee Shop. Jerry certainly has changed. Can you remember the good old School Days when he wouldn't even look at coffee? While there I visited with Delores Pounders, who is an accompanist at the Katharine Hendricks Dancing Schools.

As I hurried out the door, I practically fell over John Craig, who was sitting on the curb reading the want ads. That afternoon the long trip home be- gang and to relieve the monotony, I invited Marilyn Evans to ride part way with me. You know that she has a Home on the Range in Colorado. We turned the radio on just in time to hear a program by Bar- bara Whitley who had just replaced Sister Sue. When we arrived at Marilyn's home the next morning, Dorothy Felger was there to greet us. She had been Keeping the Home Fires Burning while Marilyn was away. Continuing my trip that afternoon I stopped at a service station for some gaso- line. The owner was none other than John Kirby, and Frank Gustinella Was helping him. Some Day they are thinking of going into partnership with Leonard Corll and Bob Conway in the wrecking service. Carol: If you think that is funny, you should see Joan Dow and Marilyn Pugh in their new gymnasium. Their best customer is Eleanor Halt, who is training for her match with Margaret Davison. Leo Gilboy is Margaret's manager. Ellen: By the Way, I was in Jean Faulkner's Antique Shop the other day and saw Angelo lannucci pricing an old foot- ball. He still has No Other Love. One day down at my office Richard Kelso came in to apply for a job as sports writer. He wanted to cover the game be- tween the Cleveland Browns and the New York Giants. Frank Santangelo and Al Hammar are the Browns' star players now. You know how news is- Easy Come, Easy Go. Dick told me that Eleanor Hani- govsky gets her name in the papers at least once a week. She is still acting as brides- maid for all her relatives and friends. Just Xl 7f I 2' - a week ago she had been an attendant for Stella Syrakis and the week before that, for Marguerite Palombo. Carol: Incidently, another socialite in the news last week was Melva Wallets. She is going West again to take over her f'ather's photography studio in Califor- nia. I was Thinking of You the other day while enjoying a visit with Delores Allen. She is now singing with the famous trio of Sandstrom, McConnell, and Remner. Remember our quartet when we were seniors? Well, Ellen, I must say So Long For A While. I have to see Dick Rusell about an estimate on my house. Ellen: It was so nice to meet you again, Carol. I hope I'll Be Seeing You some time soon. 29 N x
