1946 THE INDIAN CLASS PROPHECY By Elaine Moseman All seniors grow up at one time or another, and looking into the future I see some amazing results developing out of the class of 1946. It might be a wise plan to glance into the lives of these students of the graduating class and see how they have made out. My first stop happens to be in New York City skyscraper and who should I see bent over his desk concentrating on what looks to be blue- prints but Bob Dean. I thought I'd ask for an appointment to see him but found Elaine Moseman in the outer office who informed me that Mr. Dean was a very busy man and could not be disturbed. It seems that Bob has become very successful as a mechanical engineer and Elaine was lucky enough to land the job as his private secretary. I stayed and chatted a few minutes with Elaine and she told me that her sister, Kay, was married to David Rodwell and that they had the cutest little home just outside the city limits. David is employed on the editorial staff of the New York Daily Times. After leaving the Dean office I met Thomas Calvin in the elevator. He is a lawyer in the same building and told me that his old friend, Richmond Hayes, was out West in California working as an architect. My next stop is in a little Tea Room a few blocks off Fifth Avenue. It is called Alda's and upon inquiring I found the proprietor was none other than Alda Underwood. I was led to my table by a charming hostess who proved to be Evelyn Whitney. She is also married but said her husband was on a trip to Europe at the present time. During the last course of my lunch a very familiar face appeared at the door. It was Maxine Howard. She is principal of a high school in the suburbs of the city and told me that Mae Kratz is on her faculty teaching music. I next went to the WABC broadcasting station and Andrew Rhubottom was guest artist on Lux Radio Theatre that evening. I got a fleeting glimpse of him every now and then and he's quite a handsome fellow. I also found Charlie Blohm working in the control room. He told me that Carol Nickerson was in Hollywood designing clothes for 'teen age actresses. No Wonder fashions have taken a trend for the better. After seeing how Chautauqua has made out outside the alma mater I returned to Chautauqua and found some of our old friends still here. Art Sortore and Chuck Nash are running the biggest garage Chautauqua has ever seen. Ronald Stroebel was in getting his Ford tractor fixed. It seems he has a big farm near Open Meadows. He mentioned something about Viola. Couldn't be Viola Webber and he have gotten together- or perhaps they're just neighbors. Looking around the grounds, I dropped into the St. Elmo and found it under the management of Mary Eleanor Crowley. It seems to me that the class of 1946 has done very well for itself.
