PROPHECY Pop” Newlin decided on a second honeymoon for himself and his wife since the children were in summer school and working. He also thought that he might advance his study on brome grass in the surrounding country. On his trip he took notes; he saw many of the class of '43. and so we pass his notes on to you. May 30, 1953. We started early for Indianapolis to see the 500-mile Speedway Classic. Again Pup McDonald was the winner, making it his third consecutive win. We stayed all night at the Claypool Hotel. The elevator boy turned out to be Gerald Hurt. May 3 1. Gladys wanted to go to the top of the Soldiers' and Sailors’ Monument. The man running the lift was Harry Eumont. His ambition was to fly, but 314 feet, 6 inches is as high as the lift goes: hence that is as high as Harry has ever been. Pearl Athey collected our 25 cent fees for our ride to the top. We went to the Hawthorn Room for dinner. It is owned by Leon Reeder: the head-waitress was Betty Yocom: and Birdie Chapman and Lucille Thomas do the cooking, which is delicous. We stayed another night at the Claypool. A party was going on the floor above us. We stood it until 3:30 a. m.; then I investigated and found Norm Ulrey. Bud Ballinger. Ralph Sharp, and Charles Sherman in some sort of card game—but I won't go into that. They are some of Indianapolis’ most prominent businessmen. Norm Ulrey invited us out to his place of business. The Southern Mansion. He and Jackie have owned it for six years and business keeps getting better. They own a lovely home on the north side with swimming pool, tennis courts, and what-have-you. Buddy Ballinger, or Harold as his collegues now call him. owns the Riverside Roller Rink and the New Coliseum Ice Rink. He told us to come to either one any time, and he gave us a pass. He was quite safe in giving me a pass, for if I ever passed in. I would probably pass out. and not on two feet. Ralph Sharp is one of the leading criminal lawyers. He said we might come to court if we wished, and that he was due at 9:00 a. m. We didn't wish to go but we thanked him. anyway. Charles Sherman works in the office of the Ohio Oil Company. He has gone right up from office boy to assistant to the head man. His head woman of course is a former C. T. H. S. secretary! And speaking of secretaries. Wilma Gehl is Charlie’s secretary. She has been very efficient all of her four years there. June 1. On our way on toward the east, we stopped in Newcastle for lunch at a very nice nice restaurant. The cashier was Rosemary Barlow. We learned that she and her husband, Charles Perkins, have been running it for almost five years. They bought it through Reed U Burcham, dealers in real estate. We had dinner in a swanky place. Barbara Gehl was cigarette girl there. She said the east was OK. but “Go west, young man. go west.” We stayed all night at Cabin Inn east of Newcastle. Don Cohoon and Russel Comer operate the Inn for a man in New York. I believe his name was Bill Howe: he owns a string of them all over the country. June 2. Scenery beautiful: we drove all day. We stopped at a service station for gas and oil check up, and who should pull along side but Bertha Heetland. She was going to see her husband who is a Lt. General in the United States Army. June 3. In Dayton: Gladys did some shopping in one of the leading stores. The glove clerk was Olive Edwards: she worked her way up from stock girl. The stock girl now is Thelma Washburn. June 4. We spent the day in Columbus. We bowled a few games at a new alley there. I threw one ball just a little hard and sooner than the pin boy moved; I caught his leg. I looked twice and then recognized him: it was Bill Speakman. The owner is Doctor Paul Cook, and his assistant is Melva Brandenburg. While we were there, we saw the world's champion bowler.
