CLASS PROPHECY The lights of New York lighted my darkened apartment and danced grotesquely on the walls. From the radio came the notes of Ina Ray Hutton's orchestra fea- turing Mary Greenich on the piano accom- panying Berniece Reiff as the blues singer. The mention of Mary's and Berniece's names started me musing over my school days at B. H. S. Where were they all now - my friends and classmates? I knew that there were quite a few out in Holly- wood. Dorothea Kurtz was the platinum blonde of the silver screen and I had read somewhere that Dortha Mae Bash was her personal hair dresser and that Elizabeth Kish was her social secretary. I had often seen Winona Baise play oriental girl roles on the screen. Wally Brombacher was making a name for himself directing dances for the big musical flickers that Thomas Caldwell was directing. I got so homesick that I decided to go back to Bucyrus very soon. However, I wanted to get some new clothes before I went back, so I went to one of New York's finest fashionable dress shops and there I found Thelma Risinger and Peg Uebelhoer modeling clothes. While we were chatting, in walked Tink Perrott - or rather that was her name before she married and divorced an oil millionaire. She had just given a ball for the Princess of Orlanis, who was none other than Dorothy Healy. We then made plans to go together to Bucyrus via the air. We met at the air port the following week and got ready to board the plane. I dashed over to a magazine stand and bought some magazines and also the new book, How the Solar System Originated, by Professor Roland Crum, from Frank- lin Drew and Paul Hoelzel who were running the stand. We flew to Bucyrus f -ff-f.i, via the Hise air lines but we didn't dream that the airplane which was carry- built by Bill Hise. This information was given to us by the air-hostesses, Eleanor Traxler, Dot Virtue and Mary Travis. We turned on a radio in the cabin just in time to hear Doris Sauselen and Imo Bash sign- ing off on their children's hour. The next program was a half hour of music and rhythm furnished by Bob Schnorr's orches- tra. One of the skits he presented was a hot number featuring Doug Stauffer and Bob with their saxes, Bob Knappenberger with his drums, and Bob Breymaier as vocalist. After we landed in Port Bucyrus, Chuck Henry brought us into town in his taxi. I stopped at a beauty parlor that belonged to Ann Mawer. Her assistants were June Spaid, Dorothy Peters, and Grace Morehead. We started talking about the good old days when we were suddenly interrupted by an awful racket. They explained that they were building a new bridge over Sandusky river. I thought it would prove interesting so after I finished I went down to watch. Imagine my surprise to see that the big boss was Dallas Foreman and working under him were Ermin Walter and Robert Smith. Jim Culver was the overseer - he was also the designer of the bridge. Our interesting conversation was inter- rupted by a circus that was parading through the town. We yelled at the featured clowns who were Pope, Wakeley and Rich- ards. I recalled how they used to clown between halves of the basketball games. I got a ride back to town with an old friend, but we hadn't gone far when some- thing happened to the car and we had to call a garage. We decided to call the .Stuckey-Heath- Schieber garage, and they sent out Kenneth Steifcl to get the car. However, my friend thought that he would like to look over some new cars so we walked up to the Drumm Motor Sales Garage and imagine our amazement ing us was designed and when out walked Ted Baer Sponsored by THE SOZONIAN VAULT Co.

1936 BUCYRIAN BOOK II PAGE 32 E E r-H CLASS PROPI-IECY -it seems he was following in his father-in- law's footsteps. Ted couldn't stay long be- cause he was still ill and his private nurse, Dorothy Gettman, objected to his hanging around the garage. Coming out of the garage I read a big sign on schine's bucyrus theater announcing that they were having a special attraction that coming week. Mary Alice Flohr, the great ballet dancer, would appear with her chorus of girls. Also, they were having on the stage, the Misses Lois Chandler and Esther Baehr, great character dramatists. I made a mental note to be sure to see that and went on my way. I stopped at Graetz's and bought a maga- zine and newspaper from Emma Graetz, who is her dad's business manager and is making the business successful. While sip- ping a soda I looked at the magazine. It was one of the leading ones of the day. Turning to the contents and staff announce- ments, I noticed that it was edited by one of my old school chums, Helen Kaplanoff. Moreover, there were several familiar names listed on the staff. The business manager was Carl Stiefelg Mim Stahl was the de- signer of the unusual coverg the women's department was in charge of Mary Herman and Margaret Starnerg and there were some lovely blank verses in the magazine by Florence Keller. While glancing through the pages I came across some sport shots and peering closely I discovered that there were many B. H. S. graduates of '36. There was a picture of Ruth Henderson and Mildred Ford, taken at the Olympics. I found one of Bob Dye and Norman Fegley, who were out- standing members of the All-American football team. There was one of Jimmy Slaughter, who had defeated Joe Louis, and now was the champion of the world. In one of the pictures show- ing the Cardinals at prac- tice I discerned Richard Kronenberger. A snap shot takcn at the tennis matches held in England showed Raymond Slane greatest tennis ace of the age. Walter Ghist was it shown setting up pins at the National Bow- ling contest in Chicago. I picked up the local newspaper and read an advertisement for chickens raised by the Schieber-Ekleberry farms. These were no other than our Eck and Don Schieber. Emma told me that George Bender was employed there as the delivery boy, and that Berneice Henry was Eck's private secretary and that Elizabeth Davis was Don's private secretary. The paper also announced that the following week was homecoming week for the 19313 graduates of B. H. S. On the last page was a big ad for the J. C. Penney store, now run by our former class president, Bob Spurlock. I wondered how many of the girls had married their girlhood sweethearts, so when I got home I picked up the directory and looked through it. Yes, many of them had married. There were: Margaret Phenicie, now Fegleyg Lola Hardy who was happily married to Ralph Smithg Gerry Krumbach had said Yes to Ned. Dorothy Borts and Betty Mahlie were living on big farms out in the country with their husbands. Jack Barlow was running a grocery store with the aid of his wife and Eloise Armitage was on her honeymoon in Europe. I ate supper at Fritz's restaurant and was served by Freda Klingenberger. The other waitresses were Rosina Volpe, Eleanor Kintz, and Kate Holt. The radio was on and beautiful organ music was coming through. The announcer announced that Vera Tuller, accompanied by Robert Hieber. concert organ soloist were presenting their evening program. Suddenly the program was interrupted for a while during which Miss Elizabeth Baumgart- ner, national social worker, pleaded for aid for the storm-stricken areas in Florida. The program was then resumed but I amuse! aw . gg: gg 4. myself by watching Bob Geiger painting ice cream cones on Isaly's window l across the street.
