PEACETIME PURSUITS m CHARM AN I Got. Terwilliger Visits Classmates On Cruise »«■ of the class of '42 Is to be foetid in travel notes taken by Gov- ernor Wayne Terwilliger on his world cruise He has served Michigan for pli terms and has been too busy to to take time off for a vacation even a fishing trip. His secretary. Shirley Clay, whom people have expected him to marry for the past fifteen years, finally persuaded Wayne to take a world cruise, planning his itinerary to hit the varied locations of the illustrious graduates of his class at C. H. 8. Th - following is taken directly from the Governor’s notes: We left Charlotte by plane for Chicago. We had wired ahead for Hill Davis to meet us. and he took us right from the airport to his super deluxe hot dog stand for lunch. “Don” Bottomley’s orchestra was playing ut the Hlltmore Hotel and his lovely vocalist was none other than Petie Kelley. That week we saw Virginia Bryant with her all-girl rodeo at the Stadium and our friend. Lyndon Cole, was giving out with the old refrain. “Peanuts, popcorn, and candy.” Near the stadium rose the huge soap factory of Ivan Thompson’s. He has Just patented the new suds- less soap. Across the street we saw a large sign— Sellen and Shumaker Pottery Shoppe.” run by Mary and Clara, respectively. We took a train to Rochester. Minnesota, to see Dr. Eldon Dymond. chief surgeon of the Mayo Clinic. We stopped a nurse, none other than Irene Aseltine, to find the way to his office. We traveled north by auto and arrived the next evening at the country estate of Jean Carlson, noted portrait puinter. on the beautiful Lake of the Woods, near the Canadian border. There we spent two of the most restful days we’ve had in years. Some of her distinguished guests were old friends to us: Jack Hicks, coach at Yale: Gladys Field, who writes such outstanding articles for “Harper’s: Durwood Root, chairman of the Rooters' Club. newly organized radical group in Washing- ton: und Jean Riddle, manager of Saks Fifth Avenue store, were vaca- tioning there, ulong with other world celebrities. Leaving the quiet beauty of lakes and woods, we stopped at Mount Rush- more to view the work of the famous sculptor. Elwood Martin, who has nearly completed his work on the fifth face to appear on the mountain side that of our classmate, the thirty-third. president of the Cnited States. Dick’ Sanders. Westward Ho! Butte. Montana, was our first stop, where we found Calvin Fullerton and his mountain Itoys of high school day. Herbert Stacy. Douglas Fletcher, and Kenneth Kilmer, on his Bar-Bary Ranch,” Seattle. Washington came; next. Max Sutherland has a very profitable salmon-canning factory there and he personally escorted us through the huge plant. Much to our surprise. Bessie Colbrldge. Grace Crane, and I ola Cortright were teach- ing in different high schools in the city. Although much out of our way we couldn't fulfill our pledge to see every graduate without flying to Alasku. where Bruce Garllnghouse has made a great name for himself by raising penguins. Flying hack to the coast of southern California, we stopped at Los Angeles for a few days to see if the motion picture industry had claimed any from Charlotte. The class of 42 is no exception. Mary Jane Ix»cke has become the queen of filmdom. und they suy she is even more beautiful than Madeline Carroll. Elaine Bruce has—but definitely— ousted Martha Raye. and her fan mall comes in by the truck load. The male heart-beat seems to be “Don Grier, und Bud Buffenlmrger is vety successful in musical comedy. We motored down to San Diego to catch the clipper for Hawaii. Learning that Mary Porter is devoting her time to the education of poor Indian children neur the Culifornlun border, we took time to see her before taking off. We Flew to Honolulu At last we arrived at the beautiful Hawaiian Islands: our plane, by the way. is one of the new world clippers designed by Allan Tower, chief of research at Randolph Field. Texas. Mnrie Howard, noted horticulturist: Clyde Dimond. scientist; and Mary lines, child specialist were here at Waikiki Beach. Martin Vierk. con- ducted us through the Dole Pineapple plant there, which he has managed for about eight years. Traveling again by air. to Mel- bourne. Australia, we found our old friend. Willard Mikesell. doing a thriv- 1 ing business raising kangaroos—for zoos throughout the world. We met Warren Moore and his wife, whom we knew as Margaret Peck back in '42. at the Wright Hotel. (Dewayne. pro- prietor). Jack Krieg. who remained In Melbourne after World War II. be- came active in civic affuirs. and is now city manager. A boat trip took us to the island of Java, where Iceland Wendel has made millions on his rubber plantations. What he wouldn't tell us about himself came from his wife, the former Phyllis Williams. Our next destination was Moscow. Russia. We found Glenwood Britten here as envoy from the U. S. to the Federated Nations of Europe, which were, by the way. organized largely through the efforts of Calvin Kellogg, prominent Michigan lawyer and am- bassador to Great Britain in 1944-45. On the Italian Riviera we met Frances Rybnikar. who seems to be fortune hunting again. She has Just divorced her sixth. Verlln Shaver, whom she wed six weeks ago. (They say he lasted longer than the rest, so she must be the same old girl!) Dr. Gerald Smith, professor of sociology at the University of Michigan, was doing some research work at Milan, and we spent a day there. In Gay Paree Paris is once again the gay festive city it was before the war. Rosemary Spagnuolo and Lawrence Hall were playing at the National Opera House in Rigoletto”. Both are rated tops and they have been most successful on their world tour together. Joyce Smith has Just opened a new branch of her famous dress shops in Paris. The spring styles greatly attracted my secretary, and she came back to the hotel laden with new things. Grace Bergman and Lucille Van Liew had dinner with us one evening. They were both abroad collecting glasswure and china novelties. We arrived in Ixmdon at a very opportune moment. The heroes of World War II were celebrating the fifteenth year of peace that week. Wayne Thornton. Francis Strickland, and Charles Rlcherd. whom we know for their famous exploits In the Medi- terranean in 1944. were among the honored guests. The air ace. Bob” Hall, who brought down one hundred enemy planes, was present with his wife, the former Hazel Pierce. We spent a pleasant week at the Devon- shire country estate of Sir Edward Simek. who was knighted by the British government for his outstand- ing work In the war. His wife. Anna- belle LaTorre. is a charming hostess, and their two sons. Percy and Archi- bald. are growing to be fine fellows like their dad. We took a train to Madrid. Spain, and attended a colorful bull fight. The matador was none other than our dussmate. Melvin Shaver, and the lovely senorlta for whom he was fighting was Frances Gonser. Phyllis Cochran is teaching in the art insti- tute there, and a great deal of her work has been exhibited at world fairs. Ship Ahoy We cruised in the Mediterranean for a week on the newly launched S. S. Gwendolyn. The proud captain was Roy Groh and the beautiful vessel was named for his wife, the former Miss Woodman. In Egypt we found Dorothy Riedl. Ellen Farlln. and Virginia Marsh, who have been mak- ing such amazing discoveries in their excavations of Egyptian tombs. Far- ther down the coast, the famous Foreign Legion was stationed in Mozambique, and we were much sur- prised to find Russell Dean. Bob Davis, and Garner Thrall in their midst. They say because they, of all people, have been disillusioned by women! We Journeyed many miles through thick jungles into Bel- gian Congo, where Richard Morris and his wife, the former Frances Mer- ritt. are doing a marvelous job as missionaries. After refueling in South America, we flew north and our next stop brought us back to the good old U S A. Miami. Florida, to be exact. Vacationing here were: Betty Weaver, noted psychologist; Betty Scovill. queen of Tin Pan Alley ”; Marjorie Taylor, author: and Maynard Day. steel magnet from Pittsburgh. Board- ing a plane after a week’s “sunning we reached Washington. Phyllis Thornton is the first woman to be elected to the Senate, and Rosella McIntyre was only last year appointed to the Supreme Court by President Sanders. Also active in govern- mental affairs is Jack Denison. Sec- retary of the Navy. We motored to New York to be met by that gentleman famous to tele- vision audiences. Bob Van Alstine. Pat Beechler has earned a name for Order of the Day With graduation comes the realiza- tion that our high school career is over much too soon. Looking back over four happy years come memor- ies of pleasant associations with friends and teachers, varied activities along with knowledge acquired, ull of which help to fit us for our future work. Under the guidance of our capable advisers. Mrs. Marena Kiplinger. William Austin, and Wallace Maner, our senior year has been a most suc- cessful one. It has also been especial- ly busy and eventful. We have enjoy- ed planning for our trip, tuking part In the Journalism Carnival und publish- ing the Charhian. Then. too. we have seen many changes all over the world and probably more history being made than any other year will bring. Now. we are going out into this troubled world with a double respon- sibility. Our ambition must be not only fit ourselves for our life’s work but also to do everything possible to help our country. I know everyone of us will do his bit. No matter where we are. or what we are doing. I know we will never forget Charlotte high school. Best of luck to the next senior class and may your outlook at the end of next year be very bright with a w’orld at peace. WAYNE TERWILLIGER. President of the Class of ’42 herself on Broadway, and is currently appearing in Romeo and Juliet” op- posite the renowned Shukespeareun actor. Bob Stockwell. Also on the New York stage are Elizabeth Binkowski. Valdean Morris, and Marjorie Garvey. On Fifth Avenue. Ailene Davis’ beauty salon presented itself and very nearby was the fam- ous Hale and Haley Book Shoppe” run by our old friends. Beulah and Eleanor, respectively. June Konucki is known as New York’s most fear- less society columnist, and Edward Hughes is tops with sports writers. Guilty or Not Guilty ? ? ? The trial of notorious Two-Gun” Elies was in session the week we stopped In New York. It seems he was caught in a very ticklish bank deal in New York City in broad day- light. after being sought after for robbery and murder for two years. America’s most famous woman judge. Jane Mulholland. is trying the case. Our way took us to Portland. Maine, to spend a day with Marietta Denison, who has fulfilled her life’s ambition to be an old maid. Instead of the traditional nine cats, she has a whole farm of pedigreed Persians, raised for the aristocrats of the nation. We motored to Vermont, stopping at Sunny Acres, the spic and span chicken farm of Dale Bartholomew und his wife. Theo Jane. (Miss Erick- son. if you don’t recallt. We crossed the state to the St. I awrence and sailed to Detroit, stopping only long enough to see Paul Holmes and Harold Ross, who are in business there. It seems that they Just couldn't keep away from I etroit after their senior trip back in 1942. This concluded our wonderful trip. It brought back a host of pleasant memories for us. as we hope this sketch does for you. ☆ 9
