Social Club On the afternoon of Tuesday, August 26, 1950, a general meeting was held to which, all village ladies were invited for the purpose of forming a civic and social club, said meeting being called by Mrs. L. V. James, wife of the village fire chief. Twentyfsix ladies responded to the call and the following officers were elected: President, Mrs. L. V. James, VicefPresident, Mrs. Frank Youngg Treasurer, Mrs. Frank Field, Secretary, Mrs. Hazel E. Mais. The name selected for the club was The Sheffield Lake Social Club, and it was decided to hold regular meetings once each month. A general fund was started by banking the July 4th celebration proceeds. The success of the july 4th celebration was an inspiration to enlarge the fund and plans were immediately made to hold a fall festival, which in turn was also a big success. The money derived from parties, dances, etc., given the first year, greatly enhanced the club's fund, thereby enabling us to contribute largely to the purchase of an Inf halator, and also to help install a fire alarm system. The club also assisted in the purchase of various first aid supplies. The 1931 july 4th celebration ended the first year's work of the club. In August, 1931, the election of officers for the year 19?-1f32 resulted as follows: President, Mrs, L. V. James, re-elected, First VicefPresident, Miss Estelle La Rue, Second VicefPresif dent, Mrs. A. H. Manchester, Treasurer, Mrs. Frank Field, refelectedg Secretary, Mrs. J. H. Drompp. The new work taken up this year has been in the way of welfare work as follows: the club has donated stipulated monthly sums to the Brookside P. T. A., also to St. Teresa Parochial School which were applied to the purchase of food for undernourf ished' needy childreng at Christmas time many baskets of food were given to families in need. The club has also bought shoes and rubbers for school children in dire need. Inasmuch as all ladies of the village are eligible to join the club and no dues are required, our membership in the past eighteen months has doubled. It is hoped that in the years to follow The Sheffield Lake Social Club will have progressed even more than it has in the past year and a half. ? 1 fflf Q I 1 Twenty-One '

'W' 4' 7173 THE LEADER FY Class Prophecy Working on a newspaper in the year of 1942, I thought I'd look up my classmates and see what they were all doing and how they had prospered. Down in Palm Beach I accidentally picked up a paper and learned that the United States Ambassador to France was in that city. The name of Walter Young was familiar, it may have been a coincident of names, but on closer inspection of the picture I recognized my old class' mate, Stub, That night attending the opening of one of the best shows in town I instantly recognized the three inseparable pals, Rosella Gubeno, Leona Gallagher and Bernyce Jungbluth. They were the same old flashing and happy trio. Later I went to thc dressing room and we had a nice time talking about Brookside High School. They told me that Mary Lou Reed was an M. D. at a Florida hospital and was renowned for her work. They also imparted that johnny Owen was famous as an auto racer, and was still single. The next day I left for New York. Cn the train the young woman sitting next to me looked familiar. Juanita Traxler! After greetings we exchanged news. She told me that she was married to an electrical engineer and was very happy. She also im' parted the information that Luceda Manchester and Mildred Reeder were joint owners of a large clothing salon which all the rich women patronized and they were doing very well. Good luck to them. I continued on my way and reaching New York in the evening I thought I'd take in a movie. I sat in the darkness of the theatre resting when I saw a name flashed on the screen, Joseph Welter. When his picture was shown I knew he was my old friend. He was the popular impersonator of Clark Gable, the once great actor. Our Joe played his role like a veteran. Even outshining Clark Cable in the love scenes. I left before the crowds and in the lobby encountered Elaine Poor. She recognized me but I didn't know her. She told me she was waiting for her husband who was manager of the theatre. I congratulated her on her good fortune. She looked happy and pros' perous. She told me that Bill Reeder was chief Radio Operator on one of the biggest ocean stcamers. I was glad to hear this as I knew Bill liked radio. I left New York for the old home town. I wanted to see what Luella Mackert and Virden Maddock were doing. Luella, I met at her old home, but she was only home on a visit from her duties as manager of a large department store in Cleveland. I asked her if she knew where Virden was. She told me that she was out West in Hollywood taking a leading role in a comedy. I was wondering if she had met joe as I was mentally arranging a match between them. It was nice to hear good news of all my classmates so I went back to my work with renewed energy. ANGELINE NARo, '32. Ii .iii ill. .LL ,.1!. SI. Twenty-Two
